“Who are you running from?” I could have sworn his words were underlined with murder. My head shook, and my eyes found the intensity in his. “Please, don’t ask that of me.” I didn’t know him. Couldn’t trust him. Fury flashed through his features. He took my hands and threaded our fingers together. Vibrations zapped through the connection. Palpable and real. His growl was menace. “Want to destroy whoever hurt you. Just need a name.”
