The man’s lips curled into a deep smile. “Impressive. Your constitution’s stronger than I thought–the drug isn’t fully taking effect.”

“By now, you should’ve passed out.”

Marie went quiet.

Her mind buzzed like a struck gong.

She’d been holding back her fury all the way here, but hearing Dan mention a drug pushed her over the edge.

“You bastard! You drugged me?!”

Her strength was fading fast. Even her consciousness was starting to slip.

Their eyes locked.

Marie’s gaze burned with rage. Dan stepped forward slowly and knelt in front of her, one long leg bending gracefully.

His slender fingers lifted her jaw. “How pathetic. I have to go this far just to get you under control.”

She was too fierce. Too skilled.

There probably weren’t more than a handful of people in the world who could match Marie in a fight.

Marie glared at Dan with pure hatred, eyes practically spitting fire. Just as she was about to spit in his face, he suddenly clamped down on her jaw. Her mouth fell open slightly–she missed

her chance.

Which only made her glare at him even more viciously.

Dan chuckled and scooped her up off the floor, cradling her in his arms.

The gesture struck a nerve. “You piece of shit, put me down!” Marie roared.

She didn’t bother hiding the disgust in her eyes as she stared at him.

That sliver of disdain made Dan’s breath catch, just a little.

“You really hate me?”

That look–there was nothing fake about it.
