“Cora!” He let her go, unable to move just yet. Kissing her left him shaking from the sudden and sharp physical need. And yet, she’d run from him.
How could he protect her while falling for her? Nick couldn’t back up his suspicions about Alexander’s intentions, and that put him in a static and unbearable position. He couldn’t make a move, not with Jerry Evans still somewhere out there on an impossible mission.
He couldn’t help Jerry, couldn’t reveal Alexander’s personal agenda to Keith, and he wasn’t sure if he could ever win Cora’s trust.
Alexander could be watching her right now. That thought felt like cold water running through him. He jumped to his feet and chased after her.
