CHAPTER ELEVEN

Bryn locked the door behind her and pressed her back against it. She closed her eyes, taking in painful, shaky breaths. But with every breath she took, his scent burned into her lungs, flooding her mind with memories and scorching, erotic images.

Jett Riley, her boss, her bane.

Her mate.

She should hate him.

But she couldn't. So she did the next best thing she could. She ignored him.

Or rather, she pretended to herself that she was ignoring him.

Truth was, she couldn't ignore him, no matter how hard she tried. She was acutely, achingly aware of him. His scent, his presence, his smile. Everything about him awakened her senses and her crazed libido. He was devilishly, devastatingly handsome, with his intense gray-green eyes and sinfully muscled body. His sandy hair was surprisingly soft under her fingers, and the memory of his hard, tanned body against hers made her shiver and clench her muscles.

He was hot, and cold. Hungry, and hurtful.

He was hers. Not!

He was downright infuriating!

After that night in his office, she had made it a point to avoid him. She kept her contact and conversations with him to a minimum. She simply threw herself into her investigation work. She worked long hours with Scott and met up frequently with Levi and Jeanette to compare notes. She was determined to crack the case. But they just couldn't seem to catch a break.

They had interviewed so many humans and paranormals, witnesses, neighbors, friends and families of the slain Enforcers, but nobody could tell them anything useful. There was a lot of information, but nothing that pointed them to the identity of the killers.

Work kept her busy and occupied. For a few nights, she had actually managed to keep Jett out of her mind, out of her thoughts.

She was determined to forget him.

Fake it till you make it.

Just keep pretending that he didn't affect her so. Keeping acting like she didn't feel anything for him, until she could really stop feeling and caring.

She could do it.

Almost.

Why the hell did he have to follow her home tonight? She had been doing so well, pretending that he didn't exist and that they had never had that one scorching, unforgettable night together. He had ruined everything. The moment she walked out of the PAC Headquarters, she had gasped at the sound of his unmistakable footfall and the scent of his worry and hunger for her. It had taken every ounce of willpower for her to keep walking and not turn around.

She had come so far. She had made it home. She would not weaken now.

Bryn pushed away from the door, directing her feet stoically to the kitchen when what she really wanted to do was scuttle to the window and peek out at him. No, she would not risk her heart and her sanity. If she looked out the window and saw him standing there, she would unlock the door and bolt across the street to him.

He was a Bryn magnet. Resistance was futile, but she would fight the pull.
