Large hands spun her around and Rhys, who only looked at her tenderly all morning, glowered fiercely. Her heart raced, and she pressed her lips together to stop their quiver. When he spoke it was with clear purpose, even as his head leaned closer to hers. What he said could not be misunderstood for anything else – he was keeping her here, and there wasn’t a thing she could do about it.
