Excerpt of Drakon's Promise by N.J. Walters

โ€œSarah, itโ€™s vitally important I get that book. I need
you to think about the security at work. Cameras, guards,
alarms, everything.โ€ Heโ€™d need to get schematics of the
building and more. But heโ€™d start here, with his best
inside source. Of course, if she was working with the
Knights, this might be nothing more than an elaborate
plot to capture him.
It was a risk he had to take.

โ€œYou donโ€™t need to know that,โ€ she began.

Darius caught her face in his hands and cradled her
cheeks in his palms. โ€œI do, Sarah, I really do. Iโ€™m not
worried about my life, but those of people close to me.โ€
That was the most he could give her.

โ€œNo, you donโ€™t.โ€

Disappointment seeped into him, and he released her and
straightened to his full height. โ€œHow much?โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€ She sounded bewildered, but he wasnโ€™t buying it.
If she wasnโ€™t willing to give him the information he
needed, it was because she wanted something. In his vast
experience with humans, that meant money in one form or
another. It used to be gold and jewels. Nowadays, it was
more likely to be a simple bank transfer.

He put his hands on his hips and simply stared at her,
trying not to get lost in her chocolate-brown eyes. They
appeared so innocent. โ€œHow much for the information?โ€

She jumped to her feet and glared at him. โ€œYou son of a
bitch. Iโ€™m risking a lot to warn you about the book and
everything else.โ€

โ€œThat doesnโ€™t answer my question.โ€ No way could he let
her go until he had the information he needed. โ€œThe
quicker you give it to me, the faster I can pay you. Then
you can leave.โ€

She fisted her hands at her sides. โ€œI ought to let you
pay for it.โ€ Then she fumbled with her knapsack and
yanked open the zipper. He wondered if she had a weapon
of some kind, and cursed himself for not searching her
earlier. Not that it would do her much good. Most
conventional weapons, at least any that could fit in her
bag, wouldnโ€™t do much damage to him. But it would piss
him off.

She reached inside the bag and, instead of a weapon,
pulled out an old, leather-bound book. She thrust it
against his stomach, and he caught it before it dropped
to the floor.

โ€œHereโ€™s your damn book. I smuggled it out of work at
great personal risk. Youโ€™re welcome.โ€ She stepped around
him and strode to the elevator. Sarah slapped her palm
against the panel, but nothing happened. Only he could
make it work.

Darius stared at the book and then back at the very angry
woman waiting for an elevator that would never come.

An unusual sensation enveloped him, one heโ€™d rarely felt
in the thousands of years heโ€™d been alive. It was shame
with a hint of bewilderment.

He might have just made the biggest mistake of his life.
