Excerpt Book 2:Sarai concentrated on precise, sharp movements with as much power as she could muster. She’d
only been working out for ten minutes or so. She’d started the day similarly yesterday. She cooked
breakfast, eating with the guys. She dragged George and Scott on more sightseeing trips. Today she’d
decided to explore a small portion of Central Park. She didn’t try to lose them this time. When they’d got
home, they’d hit the gym.
Now, Sarai tuned out Scott and George—who were sparring across the way from her—to focus
on her own drills.
“How about you try that out on a man who moves and reacts.”
Sarai spun on her heel to find Zac standing behind her. He was wearing running pants and a tight
tank top, which meant she didn’t need to use her imagination to picture the muscles of his arms and chest.
They were on display. Her own personal show. Sarai swallowed.
Then she computed what he’d said. How was she going to get out of this? The truth was she
couldn’t spar. Her visions messed her up. But that was a secret she had no intention of sharing with three
people.
“Not really a good idea.”
He stared at her for a long moment. Then he glanced over her shoulder at George and Scott
who’d stopped to listen. “I’ve got this, fellas. Why don’t you go back up to the apartment?”
There was no doubt in her mind that was a command, not a suggestion. Clearly the guys thought
so too. She watched them leave the room with wide eyes.
As the door closed behind them, Zac’s hands landed on her shoulders, turning her to face them.
“Okay, kuluk. It’s just you and me now. What are you not saying?”
Sarai had never felt this vulnerable in her life. Or this scared. This man got to her in a way no one
else ever had. How was she supposed to resist that?
“Why is this so important to you?”
He moved his hands from her shoulders to frame her face, his fingers threading through the dark
blond strands of her hair. “Keeping you safe is important to me. I need to know how much you can defend
yourself if you have to. It will help me determine just what I need to prepare for. No surprises. Okay?”
Sarai took a deep breath. He couldn’t have meant it that way. Just the thought of being important
to this big, strong man connected with the frightened, lonely little girl who’d spent her life just trying to
survive. But she couldn’t think that way. She had to leave him, and that knowledge made her want to cry.
Seeing her hesitation, he brushed her cheeks softly with the pads of his thumbs. “Let me help you
with this burden,” he murmured softly, his voice a hypnotic, deep rumble.
Sarai bit her lip. Sharing this with him really wasn’t that big a deal. She knew she could trust him.
On a deep inhale, she gave a tiny nod and started talking before she could change her mind.
“Okay.”
He gave her one of those rare little half-smiles, making her suddenly very glad she had agreed to
capitulate. Thankfully, he released her and stepped back, giving her room to breathe.
