Heat. Heat flooded my body as I gasped awake, immediately taking in wide silver eyes.
Fear tore through me as I realized who they belonged to. Vincent. He gripped my throat, slamming my head back on the floor and I managed to get a knee between us. He was strong but he wasn’t Cronan. I head butted him and he took the blow, surprise on his expression. He’d felt pain. When I hit him again it was with my fist in his side. Again. Rage tore through me at the thought of him touching me. Again. How dare he? Again. He pushed me away from himself, punching me in the face. I gasped, pain pulling at me. It wasn’t as bad as it should have been. I should have been in more pain from that blow but something was blocking it.
Blind rage.
He went to hit me again but stopped.
