Just as Randall was about to lift Lily’s leg and ravage her without restraint, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

Then his neck.

He looked down in utter disbelief and saw that Lily–somehow–was holding a small, razor–sharp blade.

The tip was pressed tightly against his throat.

Yes. Lily had a knife.

After everything she’d been through lately, she had stopped trusting her safety to luck. Knowing Elsa wasn’t going to give up easily, she’d purchased a self–defense necklace she’d seen online–just in case.
