made a head gesture in a direction she knew was opposite of where she was going and his grip tightened on her elbow.

      “Come with me,” he said abruptly, making it an order.

      She dug in her heels, thinking fast. She didn’t much like orders. “Wait! I can’t. I have to get to the kitchen.”

      “Not yet. I need you.”

      “You what?” Her breathless gasp of surprise was soft, but she knew he’d heard it.

      Her jaw jutted out. Despite her embarrassment, she couldn’t let that pass.

      “Over my free will? Never!”

      Exasperation filled his face.

      “Hey, call out the historians. Someone will write a book about you and your courageous principles.” His eyes glittered sardonically. “But in the meantime, Emma Valentine, you’re coming with me.”
