I don’t get time to dwell on the situation because Jesse is already pushing things aside, revealing a strange-looking chain ring on the floor. He crouches down and yanks it up. I’m taken aback by how he’s able to pull it open with such ease, considering how heavy it looks.

I stare at him as he tucks his flashlight in the back pocket of his jeans. “So, you expect us to go down a dark hole and just trust you?”
His lips curve and his eyes glitter in amusement which just lends to his already attractive looks. “You’re a paranoid one, aren’t you?”
“Safety’s a crime now?”
His lips twitch as he holds my gaze. “I knew I liked you for a reason.”
I can feel the heat creeping into my face, and he adds, raising an amused brow, “You want me to go down first?”
