Ky cringed. Did he plan on just yanking her out? That’s what it sounded like, with him saying it wasn’t going to be pretty. Her entire body was going to ...

“It’s not the truth,” Zander said gently, deciding it wasn’t going to work well to fight fire with fire. What was he doing? He needed to be gentle. To comfort ...
