Tessa couldn't believe the way her body gravitated to him. From the first moment, he'd been hers. At least in her mind, he was. When she finally got the courage to go to him, he pushed her away harshly. Now, she had to find a way to move on. Dominik wanted her from the moment he first laid eyes on her, but they were from two different worlds, and she'd never be able to handle the dominant side of his nature. He also guessed that when she found out about his past, she'd run as far away from him as she could, so he wasn't going to take the chance of a broken heart. If that happened, he knew he'd never recover. Someone who wanted to hurt her brought them together, but he still fought his attraction. It was only when he'd been told a bit about her past that he thought she might be able to love him and want to stay with him. He only had to get rid of the threat against her before it was too late.
