With a few long steps, he closed the distance between them, his powerful presence radiating an aura of dominance that made it hard to breathe. "Because it seems like you might have been planning to escape." Fear shot through her at his thinly veiled accusation. He was too perceptive, able to sense the cracks in her act.
