So much need.
“You want me, Erin, just as much as I want you.” The words rumbled against her.
She wouldn’t deny it. She wouldn’t give in to the furious desire, either. With one serious effort, Erin made her hands stop clutching him, and she pushed against his chest instead.
Such anicechest.
He didn’t move.
She pushed harder, letting some of her enhanced strength flex. “Let me go.”
His head rose, and he stared down at her with eyes shining brightly. So blue it almost hurt to look into them.
“Shifter,” Jude said this again, but it wasn’t so much a question this time. Too certain. “I can see it in your eyes.”
No, no that couldn’t be possible. Shealwayscontrolled her body. No claws. No glowing eyes. No too-sharp teeth. Jude was guessing, trying to trip her up.
“Sweet little shifter. You can’t hide your beast from me.”
There was no beast. “Let. Me. Go.” Her voice was huskier than she would have liked, but she meant the words. Being near him right then just wasn’t really an option.
Running, yes, that was the better option. Not because she was afraid, but—Shit, okay, she was afraid.
So therewerea few things that scared her.
Jude dropped his hold.
Erin rushed from him and fumbled with the door. Her purse, all but forgotten, banged against her hip. Then she was outside, stumbling onto the porch and putting some much needed space between them.
Now if her heart would just slow its frantic beat.
“This isn’t over.” His voice followed her down the steps.
“Damn right.” She tossed him a glare over her shoulder. “You’ve got to find my killer?—”
“Not that.” His steps were slow and heavy on the porch. “Us. We’re not over. We’re just getting started.” He licked his lips. “I can still taste you.”
She could taste him. And her panties were damp. Just from a kiss.
What would happen when they were both naked?
She wouldnotfind out.
“We’re gonna happen, sweetheart. Deal with it.”
Arrogant asshole.
Sexy beast.
“No, we’re not.” Some temptations had to be denied. “You deal withthat.” She opened her car door and climbed inside.
“Why do you hide your animal side?” He raised a hand to his shoulder and ran his fingertips over the small wounds that she could see even in the dim light from the porch.
Because some of her senses were enhanced, too.
Thanks, mom.
She’d marked him. The way of the beast.
