twitching ever so slightly in his jaw, from where his teeth were clinched so hard. Not a good sign there, either.
    Noah continued, “So, baby , what exactly did you steal from my house?”
    Steal from him? He thinks I broke in to take his things? Brianna’s mind was racing.
    Brianna was trying to comprehend his question , but could only shake her head. The man behind her still held onto her shoulders, so she couldn’t run, but at that moment, she knew he was probably the only thing keeping her knees from buckling under her.
    One side of Noah’s mouth curved into a half-grin, but she knew he found nothing funny about this situation. He took a few steps closer to her , and she tried to back up, but found the man behind her was as hard as concrete and just as immovable. Noah took another step closer, so that they were standing toe to toe. Noah towered over her in front and the concrete mountain of a man towered over her from behind.
    In a flash, Noah raised his hand to her cheek , and she winced, as though she was preparing for him to hit her. His hand froze beside her cheek, not having made contact yet, his eyes narrowed in obvious disgust and dislike of her response to him. 
    Like I wo uld ever intentionally hurt her, Noah thought.
    He rubbed his knuckles across her cheek and then cupped it in the palm of his hand. She instinctively leaned into it, savoring the feel of his hand on her. He ran his hand around to the back of her neck and pulled her face to his, covering her mouth with his, as his tongue pushed against her lips, asking for access. 
    She opened her mouth to him, and he kissed her passionately. His other hand came up to meet her neckline, softly caressing her collarbone and moving down across the skin of her chest, showing through her tank top. The other hand moved down her back and around to her side, gripping her hip.
    Damn, you feel so good. I’ve missed you so much , Noah. Brianna’s thoughts betrayed her.
    Lost in his kiss and her thoughts, s he realized too late what he was doing, as he pulled her hotel key card out from under her bra strap. He pulled away from her and turned to Bull and Rebel, without so much as a single word to her.
    “Interesting place to keep a hotel room key ,” Noah said, as he handed the card to Bull. Brianna knew her face displayed the shock, then the anger at how easily he manipulated her. However, she was glad he had not felt any lower, or he would’ve found what else she was hiding in her bra.
    “What do you want to do with her , boss? Want me to call the police?” The man behind her asked. She didn’t know him, and he obviously didn’t know her connection to Noah, Bull, and Rebel. She wondered where Shadow was, but didn’t dare ask.
    Noah looked at Brianna , as he considered what to do with her. She didn’t realize she was shaking her head until he said, “No? Don’t want the police involved?” It was a rhetorical question. He stared at her for a few seconds longer.
    Brianna finally spoke. “ I really don’t think you want the police involved. Can we decide this somewhere other than here? I’m not sure it’s safe here.”
    Noah’s anger was in full fury now , as he growled, “Put her in the car. Bull, Rebel, you two ride with us.”
    Bull took Brianna’s arm and put her in the backseat of the SUV , behind the passenger seat. Bull walked around to slide in behind the wheel, Rebel climbed in the front passenger seat, and Noah sat in the backseat with her, his back against the door and turned in the seat to face her. 
    “Where to, boss?” Bull asked.
    “My house,” Noah replied , as Bull put the SUV in gear. Brianna could feel Noah’s eyes on her, as Bull pulled out of the garage. She didn’t dare look at him, yet. Traffic was light, since it was just after 1 a.m., and Bull easily maneuvered into the right hand lane of the highway. She leaned her head to her left to look around the seat and saw a traffic light was a couple hundred yards away. Her eyes
