Long Way Down by Yvonne Reid: Excerpt

“You’re not with the police,” she whispered.

“I’m more of a free agent, yeah.”

There were tears in her massive green eyes. “I’m not—”

“Save it,” he said. “I don’t care.”

He flicked more ash onto the quilt, and suddenly the pupils in her eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared. Her fingers curled, digging into the edges of the chair, cutting through the quilt and revealing torn upholstery underneath.

“I could kill you,” she said, her voice taking on a growl. “You have no idea what you’re messing with.”

“Ah,” he said, dabbing his cigarette into the tea cup.

“Cat’s out of the bag.”

She laughed bitterly, flashed her teeth. “I won’t go. You can’t make me go.”

“Oh, I can, and I will,” Harrison said, not looking at the gun at all, which said everything. “You’re feline, yes? What triggers it? Adrenaline?”

“I trigger it,” she said.

“Not within three months,” he said, shaking his head. “Adrenaline sets it off, which is why you’ve been taking night shifts the last few weeks, and why this place is just bubbling over with calm and relaxation. You’re afraid of what you might do.”

“I’m not afraid of what I might do to you,” she said, standing up suddenly. But for her eyes and the way she held herself, there was no indication she might turn into a massive she-cat at any moment. But the body language, the way she was curling her fingers as if to strike, that was more than enough.

She could kill, and she knew it.
