My heart beat like a trapped rabbit. Sweat broke out onto my brow.
"Is this why you took me here? So you could keep me here until I spilled my secrets?"
The tone was accusing, but I couldn't help it. He'd taken me here under the guise of understanding him, but we both knew I couldn't find my way back without his help, so I was essentially trapped here.
"Not the main reason, no."
I took a couple of steps away from him and toward the door.
A lazy grin spread over his face. My stomach lurched. Why did I think he was s*xier than ever when I also thought he might kill me to get my secrets? What was wrong with me?
"Wolves like to chase, little rose. I wouldn't."
My heart pounded against the walls of my chest.
"Please let me go."
Cane rolled his eyes.
"Stop, Aspen. You should know by now I won't hurt you."
He rose in a graceful, liquid motion.
"But I've given you more than you've given me."
He stalked me, slowly eating up the space between us with an almost feline stride.
