Chapter 6

I heard the sound of a switch flipping and immediately a sliver of light appeared beneath the closet door. I eased back automatically, sinking into the hanging clothes. Lots of flannel that smelled surprisingly nice and warm.

Holding completely still, I watched the bottom of the door and listened as I heard his footsteps approaching. My hand squeezed tight on the flashlight, ready to use it as a weapon if necessary. Kind of like the first time I saw him and considered hitting him with it then.

That’s not the only weapon you have, a quiet voice said inside of me. But the idea of using the fire as a weapon was terrifying—I had way too little control over it.

The shadow of feet appeared, making me hold my breath. I heard the sound of him clearing his throat and I was certain for a moment that he knew I was there. But then he moved away, turning off the light as he walked from the room.

After the footsteps vanished, I got a good grip on the flashlight and opened the door slowly. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust but it was just the same, dark room in front of me.

With an end table. I hadn’t looked there before—hadn’t had time.

I reached over, hand stretching out, just as the overhead lights came on.

Spinning around, I wielded the flashlight in front of me when I saw Dylan’s murderous look.

“What the hell are you doing in my house?” he asked.

“Huh?” I glanced around, playing dumb. “This isn’t my mom’s house? I guess I got—”

“Cut the bullshit.”

His hands fisted at his sides when he stepped forward. It wasn’t hard to see the sheer strength in his arms through his tight shirt, or the trimness of his waist in dark wash jeans. He clearly worked out, and even though I was quick on my feet, he could probably take me.

I held out the flashlight, figuring it was heavy enough to do some damage if necessary. “Don’t come any closer.”

He arched an eyebrow, looking almost amused. “You’re in my house. You’re an intruder. I can do whatever I want to you and no one’s going to bat an eyelash.”

Despite my bravado, fear still made a swift circuit through my body. Dylan had proven that he couldn’t care less about the whole law against breaking and entering and practically assaulting me in the library. What else would he do?

The only thing I knew was that I had to get out of here.

Without another thought or any indication of what I was planning, I hurled the flashlight at him and ran. He deflected it easily as I tried to rush past him. One arm snagged me around my waist and then whipped me back hard and fast. Quick enough my feet nearly came off the ground and I felt just how strong he was.

With those same strong arms, he pinned me against the wall, making my breath rush out.

“Get off!” I yelled in his face, but he only held tighter, fingers holding me to the surface.
