Josie didn’t move.
Couldn’t.
Because his hand was still on hers.
And he wasn’t letting go.

Sharp. Silent. Completely infuriating.

She hated that her breath caught.
Just a flicker. A tiny, traitorous stutter in her chest she hoped to hell he didn’t notice. Because God, he was a pain in the ass. The most infuriating kind—the...

Josie’s breath caught—not because of what he said, but because of how he said it.

So sure.

Didn’t roll her eyes. Didn’t laugh it off. Didn’t throw up one of those sarcastic quips she usually had loaded like a round in the chamber.
Josie just stared at him.
