CHAPTER 18

I’m hauled into a dark side room. A switch is flicked and the room floods with light. We’re in some type of storage closet. The restraints around my mouth and waist are removed as I’m spun around to face my captor. Logan’s mouth is set in a hard, firm line. “What the hell are you doing?” he hisses.

I invoke an old reliable strategy. When in doubt, deny, deny, deny. “Who are you? What do you want with me?”

“Cut the crap, Sadie. I know it’s you.”

I can be stubborn when I need to be. “You are clearly mistaking me for someone else. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to my job.” My hand curls around the door handle, and I pull the door open.

Logan slams it shut again with the palm of his hand, and he spins me around, forcing my back into the door. Reaching up, he whips the wig off my head in one fast, fluid motion.

Oh, crap.

“I was right!” He grits his teeth and his jaw flexes.

“How did you know it was me?”

“You don’t get to ask the questions.”

He’s livid. I see it in his eyes, and I hear it in his voice.

“And you don’t get to hold me against my will.” I yank the wig out of his hands and stuff it on my head.

“Goddammit, Sadie.” He presses his forehead to mine, his powerful body crushing against me.

The image of Ria wrapped around him rises to the forefront of my mind, effectively deflecting the bolt of desire igniting my insides. It’s like being doused in icy cold water. “Get. Off. Me.”

He jerks back, stunned by my tone. A noise in the outside corridor distracts us both. Raising a finger to his lips, he cautions me to stay quiet. As if I hadn’t figured that out myself. I glare at him. When the footsteps recede, he refocuses on me. “We don’t have time to debate this. You need to get out of here before he makes the connection. Come on.” Sliding me to the side, he takes my hand as he tentatively opens the door and peeks out.

“Before who makes what connection?” I hiss.

He ignores me on purpose and I’m instantly mad. I attempt to wriggle my hand from his, but he tightens his grip. “Don’t fight me.”

“There’s no need to go all Neanderthal man on me.” I pout.

“Logan? Logan?” Someone calls out anxiously in front of us. Logan curses as the red-haired lady rounds the bend. “There you are.” She looks relieved.

Up close, I notice the smattering of gray hairs dotting her hairline and tiny fine lines that crease the skin at her eyes. Her gaze is shrewd as she rakes over our conjoined hands. “This is her?”

Logan nods tersely, and her eyes soften.

“What about me?” I shoot Logan a sidelong glance.

“My dear,” the lady says, taking my free hand in hers. “It’s so lovely to meet you. Logan has told me all about—”

“Meme,” Logan interrupts, peering worriedly over her shoulder. “Now isn’t the time.
