But Keep You

Chadstone set his jaw tightly. Minka didn’t know how right she was. But he lifted his chin, eyes lit with challenge, and said, “I imagine it won’t be so difficult to steal her second kiss, will it?”

Dakshana leapt at him.

He side-stepped neatly, winced when she stumbled into the wall on the other side of the hallway.

“That won’t help,” he said. “You’ve made it through two nightmares. I guarantee there are more before you reach the center. If you cannot survive the rest, you’ll never reach the door, and then what can I do but keep you?”
