Snippet - DRAGON AWAKENED
Ruby tried to kick him in the groin. Another dumb idea, considering what she'd seen him do, what he did for a living.
He didn't hurt her, at least, not much anyway. He did, however, pin her against the door, his thigh pressing the offending leg tight. "That is not a wise thing to do."
She lifted her chin. "Afraid I'll hurt you?"
"Once my instincts are triggered, it's hard to stop. I'm sure I'll hurt you. As of right now, I do not wish to do that. That may change as days go by."
"Days? What are you going to do, keep me hostage?"
He let her question hang for an agonizing moment, as though he were considering it. God, had she given him ideas? He said,
"Not entirely."
