“No way! I’m coming with you.” I stand by his side and he looks down at me like I’ve lost my mind. And maybe I have. Since when do I think it’s a good idea to charge into a place with an unknown threat?

I ignore him and continue to stare at my wide open front door. Someone has broken in, obviously, but who would do that? And why?

Had Grunt gotten pissed and lay in wait for me?

There was a suspicious lack of dudes and mess next door. Maybe they’d robbed my place and took off?

What if the robber was still inside? A chill crept up my spine and goose bumps raced across my skin at the thought of some stranger going through my things, touching my stuff, and otherwise terrorizing my living space.

I’ve never been robbed before. This area has the lowest crime rate in the whole damn city. That was my main reason for moving here. That and I knew that being surrounded by elderly neighbors meant I’d be left alone. No loud, obnoxious kids to blow up my mailbox, no nosy neighbors, no parties. Man, I was wrong on that one. But not because of the elderly neighbors, of course. That was all thanks to the guy next to me playing savior and making my belly flip-flop.

“You are not coming with me.” He eyes me with a look of disbelief and shifts his hand under his worn black leather vest. I’m not sure why his hand is tucked away, but it’s strange and I glance away.

“It’s my house. I want to come in.” I set the milk down on my driveway and take a stance with a hand on my hip and lift my chin into a defensive position. “And you can’t stop me.”

A slight grin tugs the corners of his lips, but it’s an evil smile that sends a shiver down my spine. “Oh, I can stop you, I promise.” He arches an eyebrow at me. “This is serious, sweetheart.” I try to ignore how him calling me sweetheart spikes my pulse, but his eyes drop to the hollow at the base of my throat and I know he sees the effect that word has on me.

Thankfully, he just continues talking rather than drawing attention to my confusing reaction to him. “There could be someone in there robbing the place. They might have a gun.” He steps in closer to me, his voice lowering to a growl. “What do you think they’re gonna do if you bust in on them?”

I swallow hard. I know exactly what he’s saying might happen. “Shoot me?”

He nods, very slowly as if to emphasize his point. “Worse things than getting shot for a woman, right?”

I suck in a deep breath as my eyes dart back and forth between his. I know what he’s implying. I know he’s trying to scare me into submission and it’s freaking working. “They might rape you first, then kill you. So why don’t you just wait here and call nine one one?”

“You wouldn’t let that happen.
