hadn’t been for him she might have been dead. How could she honestly call this man some kind of sexual pervert when she really was aroused that night?
    “Your secretary wouldn’t give your name,” she said.
    “Dane Magnus.” He held out his hand palm up. “Come inside.”
    “Dane…?” Trina crinkled her nose as she contemplated why his name rang a bell. The medics and authorities hadn’t given her any leads about the man who saved her life even when she made them aware that it was only to thank him for his bravery.
    “Speaking of…thank you.” She still hadn’t accepted his hand and invite into his home.
    “I’m glad you’re all right. Why don’t you come inside?”
    She smoothed her palms down the sides of her skirt. “I’m still thinking about this.”
    “Shouldn’t you have thought about this hours earlier…before coming out?” He tossed his chin outward. “The driver’s gone. And he won’t be returning anytime soon.”
    “There’s always a cab.”
    “You’ve come out this far and you’re nearly thirty miles away from your hometown of Cross City. Why turn back now? Are you having second thoughts because I’m a shifter…a wolf to be exact?”
    “You being a shifter doesn’t bother me. I have shifter friends.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “You and your affiliation with Leo bothers me.”
    “I don’t see what Leo has anything to do with this. But I wonder what a nice girl like yourself would be doing working as a call girl at Live nightclub.”
    Trina bit the insides of her bottom lip. He thought she was a call girl. He certainly did look like the type to have a few—a lot—of women up his sleeve to choose from. Why would he even need to place an ad? With his good looks couldn’t he have scored a woman right off the street? After all, she had found the ad stuck on a billboard inside a nightclub filled with call girls. Her focus roamed uneasily over him. Well then…he really thought she was a call girl.
    “You called me a whore the other night, not a call girl.”
    He narrowed his gaze. “I never called you a whore. I said you didn’t look like a whore to me.”
    “Responding to this ad is a risk onto itself, is it not? Plus, call girls can also be nice girls,” she said.
    He lifted a brow. “Oh really? Was it nice to have slapped me? I could have pressed assault charges you know?”
    Her mouth dropped in shock. “Are you serious? You harassed me.”
    He scratched his head. “I’m attracted to you and we were both aroused. Maybe I’m confused, but that appears to be mutual grounds to me.”
    “I never said I was aroused.”
    “You didn’t have to say anything.” He grinned and assessed her up and down slowly. “Your beautiful body shows and tells.”
    She swallowed and shifted her weight from one foot to the other, and tried to think of something other than the lure of this man. “I’m here to talk business.”
    “We can talk inside.” He stepped aside, allowing her ample space to come inside. “I will lay out the risks involved, the compensation you will receive for your time, and the measures that I have in place to ensure protection during the arrangement should you move forward.”
    He was right. She’d gone through too much trouble to ensure the business was operated while she was here and also to make sure her father was well taken care of in her short absence while she met with Dane Magnus.
    “Wait…how do you know I live in Cross City?”  She’d insisted that the driver pick her up at a crowded shopping center ten miles away from her home for a reason.
    Dane’s smile widened. “I needed to know a bit more about the woman who wants to take me up on my offer, so I took your background check into my own hands.”
    Trina rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. “Hmm. I didn’t know shifters were so nosy and enjoyed spying. Your phone secretary asked enough questions. What more would you want to know?”
    His gaze dropped to
