I kidnapped her as a ploy against my enemies. The plan was to kill her to torture Damien. But the second she opened her mouth and unleashed her fire, I lost sight of all that. I never sympathized with my victims to make their deaths easier, but she forced me to more than sympathize with her. Even though she would tell Damien what I did and he would come after me, I still let her go.

I suspect I'll never see her again, but six weeks later, I spot her in a bar. She's exactly the same woman I remember and has a man by the balls-literally. He made the mistake of grabbing her to get his attention, so she returned the favor-with claws. I could walk out and forget I ever saw her, but now I'm too intrigued to walk away.

Our conversation only makes my intrigue worse. The woman should be terrified of me, but she's an even bigger spitfire than before. Sassy. Unapologetic. Confident. I already picked up a woman for the night, but now Catalina is all I can think about. The obsession is both instantaneous and inexplicable.

I ask her to give me a chance-and won't take no for an answer.
