Dare To Love Series_Daring the Hard Man
Page 9
He expected more argument from her. Dorian leaned closer, his inhalation close enough it carried her scent to him. Nothing floral or warm but a cool, almost sharp fragrance. “I want no trouble from you.”
She didn’t speak, just walked away, tugging on him, her glare nothing but hostile when she halted before the bathroom. “Uncuff me.”
He did and smiled again, when she slammed the door in his face. His smile dropped away the moment he heard the shower kick on.
She’s got nothing in there except that tatty bag. Shit. She was running.
He tried the knob. Locked. He pounded. “Sakharre.”
Nothing.
“Damn you.” He put his shoulder to the door, pushing in. Dorian spied the open window and headed in that direction when he tripped and fell forward.
Reflexes saved him from cracking his skull on the heavy porcelain sink. Curses poured from his mouth as he hit the floor—a floor she’d spread baby oil all over.
“I’m never uncuffing her again,” he ground out, trying unsuccessfully to get up.
