CHAPTER 20
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( stunned )
Lisa sat on the bed anxiously waiting for his reply ....
She found it difficult to look at him ....
Partly because he frightened her and partly because he was so damn beautiful .....
How was she supposed to think of him as the enemy when her body had already decided to like him ? ....
She'd never felt such a strong , instant attraction .....
Lying beneath his overwhelming body , she'd been flooded with a frantic sexual desire that she'd forgot the fear of dying .....
She forced herself to remain motionless so she would betray neither the panic she felt nor her unacceptable fascination with him .....
In the past few minutes she'd been transported from fear and rage that her life might end so sadly , to astonishment when he'd kissed her .....
Now she settled into wary numbness ....
She realized - the man had some seriously intimidating body language ....
That he was in complete control , and unless she could catch him unaware , she didn't have a chance of escaping .....
She had already blown her best opportunity to catch him off guard when she'd ambushed him at the door ....
He was well over six and a half feet tall , more massive than any professional football player she'd ever seen ...
And she wouldn't have been surprised if he weighed at least three - hundred - plus pounds of solid muscle ....
This man didn't miss a thing ; he was a natural - born predator and warrior , scanning her every move and expression .....
She imagined that he could smell her emotions .....
Didn't animals attack when they scented fear ? .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I see I must approach this from a different angle , lass .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
When are you from ?! ....
Lisa William (FL)
( Forced herself to look at him )
He'd lowered himself to the floor and was leaning back against the door , his powerful legs outstretched in front of him .....
There was blood trickling down his temple and his lower lip was swollen .....
When he wiped absently at it with the back of his hand , muscles rippled in his forearm .....
Lisa William (FL)
You're bleeding .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( The corner of his lip curved )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Imagine that ... ( mocking )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I was ambushed by a little lass and now I am bleeding . I was tripped , bashed in the head , rolled over broken vase , head butted , kicked in the- .....
Lisa William (FL)
I'm sorry .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
You should be ....
Lisa William (FL)
You were trying to kill me ....
Lisa William (FL)
How dare you get mad at me when I was mad at you first ? You started it .....
He ran an impatient hand through his hair ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Yes , and now I am ending it .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I told you I have decided not to kill you for the moment , but I require information from you .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I have fifty men outside this door .... ( gestured over his shoulder with a thumb )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Who will need reasons to trust you and let you live .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Although I am the lord here , I cannot keep you safe all the time if I don't give my men reasons why you are not a threat ....
Lisa William (FL)
Why do any of you want to kill me in the first place ? ....
Lisa William (FL)
What have I done ? ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I am in charge of this interrogation , lass .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( folded his arms across his chest )
It made all the muscles in his arms bunch and reminded her how small she was compared to him .....
She'd just learned another lesson : He could be polite , even show a sense of humor , but he was always deadly , always in command .....
Lisa William (FL)
Right .....
Lisa William (FL)
But it might help if I understood why you consider me a threat to begin with .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Because of what is in the flask ....
Lisa William (FL)
What's in it ? ....
Then she remembered that her unchecked curiosity had created this situation ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
If you don't know , your innocence will protect you . don't ask me again .
Lisa William (FL)
( Blew out a nervous breath )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
When are you from ? .....
Lisa William (FL)
The twenty - first century .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( Blinked )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
You expect me to believe you are from a time more than seven hundred years from now ? ....
Lisa William (FL)
And You expect me to believe that I'm in the fourteenth century ? ....
Lisa William (FL)
" Why did he expect such madness to be any easier for me to deal with ? .... "
A quick smile flashed across his face .....
