If he raised the bid any higher, such an outrageous sum would surely attract the attention of Keanu and Rex.

But if he didnt, the badgepractically within his graspwould slip away into Allisons hands.

Humiliation was something he couldnt stomach.

His chest rose and fell with rage.

I wont lose to her, he muttered under his breath, anger simmering in his eyes.
