Nate pulled her tightly against him, needing to feel her close. His breath ca little rougher than usual as he
asked through gritted teeth, “You chere alone?”

from her tangled hair, he murmured, “I know you're capable, but this situation is different. You need to follow my
lead without going rogue. Understood?”
Corrine nodded again, reluctance still evident in her silence.
The rhythmic thrum of helicopter blades grew louder overhead. Exchanging swift glances with Saul and Presley,
Nate guided Corrine decisively into the dense undergrowth.
