“Grey Danby! What is your problem?”

“You are.”

He snapped his arms around her as his lips came crushing down on hers before she could protest. His tongue swept into her mouth, stealing her objection and her anger. How was she supposed to think clearly—or at all—when he did that?

She gave herself over to the moment, well aware that Grey wasn’t happy with her. He thought nothing of thrusting himself into potential danger but wouldn’t allow her to make the same decision for herself. Granted, he was the trained warrior, but she had her own vested interest in keeping Kerry safe.

Gradually, Grey eased back, changing the whole tenor of the embrace to one of gentle comfort. How was a woman supposed to stay mad at the man?

“I’m still not going into hiding, Grey.”

The jerk actually laughed, although it had a definite edge to it. “You think I don’t know that? I’m surprised I survived the daggers you shot at me when I dared to suggest it.”

Okay, so that much was settled. “If we’re going to get anywhere with this relationship, you’ve got to stop making decisions without consulting me.”

Some of the humor in his eyes faded. “I don’t have to remind you that I’m the Chief Talion, Piper. It’s my job to protect our people from any threat. That alone would make me want you out of the line of fire.”

He kissed her again, a soft brush of his mouth across hers. “But it’s more than that, and we both know it. Look at Ranulf. He’s going crazy, wanting a hard target that he can fight to protect Kerry. Sandor feels the same about Lena, and we all feel protective about the kids. I can assure you that Sean’s going to be royally pissed about being forced to leave town right when things are going to get interesting around here.”

Another kiss, this time at her temple. “I worry that my focus will be fragmented with both you and Kerry in danger. My honor and my duty demand that I sacrifice everything to keep the Grand Dame safe.”

He studied her face for a few seconds. What was he looking for? Finally, he nodded as if finding an answer to his unspoken question. “The problem is that my heart has a different set of priorities.”

As the meaning of his words sank in, her knees melted. If not for the strength of his arms supporting her, she would have sunk to the floor in a puddle of—what, she didn’t know. How was she supposed to respond to a statement like that? Especially when she hadn’t yet figured out exactly what she was feeling for him, except that it was good and it was strong. The mental replay of that bomb going off continued to haunt her, along with the image of Grey lying on the ground, still as death. Did she have enough courage to watch him put himself in danger over and over again?

Maybe not. She gave him the only answer she had.

“I want to have a say in things that concern me directly, Grey, but I’m not stupid.
