Page 61 of Sinful Honor

Air rushed out of me, and when he swiped his tongue over the place he’d just marked, my whole body convulsed.

Oh. My. God.

And then he went through the door.

And I was alone.

I stared at the monitors, watched the two black figures methodically search the room.

What if they found the closet?

What if they found the mechanism to the door?

I looked around.

But my eyes got stuck on movement on one of the other monitors. A lone person darted through the dark corridor, then stopped at a door.

He wouldn’t just go in there and face the two thugs, would he?

I grabbed the armrest with both my hands. My heart thrashed in my ears, and I gasped for air. But I couldn’t move my eyes from the monitors.

A sinking feeling settled into my stomach. Don’t do it. Don’t open that door.

A sob broke out of me when I could see one of the thugs turn to the door.

Did they hear something?

Did they know he was coming?

I shot up. I couldn’t sit here and watch.

Couldn’t watch him die.

My gaze flitted through the room.

There was a fire extinguisher. I raced toward it, ripped it from its mounting point.

Then I crossed the room to the secret door.

If they got in here, I was toast.

And if they killed him first…

I removed the safety from the fire extinguisher.

I wouldn’t go down without a fight.

I turned my head, stared at the screens.

And I would not stand by and watch him get killed.

I thumped on the secret door.

Both intruders turned to the closet.

They’d heard me.

I braced myself.
