She looked at him with hatred in her eyes, "I will never love you." He chuckles darkly, "Who said anything about love? I don't need your love. Just your loyalty."

As much as she fights it, the connection between them deepens, and she begins to wonder if the man beneath the surface could be someone worth loving.
