CHAPTER TWELVE

Liz moved then, her arm jerking out instinctively in front of her. As though she could close the door between them by will. She knocked over the flask on the lab table with her hand and coughed as she righted the glassware. The woman on top of Robb turned her head, and Liz saw Robb swipe his thumb quickly over the smear of red on her skin.

"Who the hell is that?" the woman said.

Liz grabbed her purse and slung it over her shoulder. She had to get out of there.

"Nobody. Time for you to leave," Robb said to the woman, who looked confused as he herded her back into the elevator and pressed the button to the ground level.

"Hey!" she cried out, as Robb stepped back into the foyer. "What the hell!"

Liz had reached the doorway and was at the lab door by the time the elevator doors closed on the woman's indignant expression. She closed the lab door behind her, but Robb was already striding across the foyer toward her. She'd known that he was upset, but she didn't expect anything like what happened next.

The deadbolt clicked shut behind her just as Robb shoved her up against the door. Her purse fell to the floor, her phone and makeup clattering out onto the tile. One hand wrapped itself around her throat, and she gasped as he pressed her back, his face inches from hers. There was an anger in his eyes that she had never seen before. His dark irises seemed to flash with flickers of red as he leaned close, his lips raised in a snarl.

"What did you see?" His voice was throaty, gravelled.

"Nothing," she said.

"What did you see?!" The roar resonated across the foyer, and Liz struggled in vain to get out from under his grasp. His hand tightened around her neck. His arms were so strong! She tried to push back but she couldn't. It wasn't even as though he was pushing back more strongly. It was more like his limbs were iron, impossible to even think about bending.

"Nothing! Nothing! I can't—I can't breathe—" Liz choked out. "Don't—please—"

Robb let go, stepping back suddenly, and air rushed into her lungs. She coughed and slumped against the wall. The red wrath disappeared from his eyes, though his brows were still knitted together.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice straining to stay calm.

"I'm working." Liz's fear had been supplanted by anger. "Or do you not remember giving me a key to the lab?"

"Very funny," Robb said. His eyes darted toward the other door, then back to Liz's face. He looked her up and down.

She crossed her arms over the front of her sweatshirt, unwilling to let him get the upper hand again.

"What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I should think that would be apparent," Robb said dryly. "Unless you're even more virginal than I originally thought."

"Excuse me?!" Liz said.

"I suppose now you're going to tell me that you're really here to do lab work."

"I am! I did!" Liz's face flushed hot, the skin on her face tightening.
