Remember?
She slammed the door on those thoughts.
“Damn,” he murmured. Lowering his head just a little farther, he brushed his lips against her cheek close to her ear. “It’s a very tempting deal. Very tempting, indeed.”
She turned her head away from him, feeling her cheeks go warm in response to his nearness. Her skin felt electric. With everything she had, she tried to blot out all thoughts of him. Tried to block out every reaction she was having. Screaming silently in her mind at herself for being a fool and an idiot and a moron, she tried to latch onto that as a raft to take her away from the situation.
Don’t think about this don’t think about this don’t think about this don’t think about this don’t think about this don’t think about?—
The air felt too close as he whispered to her, his breath pooling against her skin. It sent a shiver down her spine. “Don’t think about what, Sasha?”
He sounded so damn pleased with himself that she wanted to fucking punch him in the goddamn smug-ass, gorgeous face.
That was when she felt it.
One of the tendrils around her ankles had started to move. It had begun to wander, ever so slightly, up her calf. Only an inch. Maybe two.
But the insinuation was enough.
She whipped her head back to him, eyes wide in shock. “V?—”
The rest of his name didn’t make it past her lips.
Because his own lips caught it instead.
He kissed her without warning, capturing the sound, as she wentto shout at him. His hand caught her chin and held her in place as he tilted his head to deepen the embrace.
Sasha had been kissed before. She’d had boyfriends. She wasn’t a virgin.
But she’d never, in herlife,ever been kissed like that. She never even dreamt it was possible. All the tendrils holding her in place, and the one around her throat, released her. Which was good, because she needed every ounce of air she could get.
Instinctually, she grasped the front of his lapels, clinging to him for dear life as he seemed to try to devour her through a kiss alone.
The noise that escaped her throat wasn’t exactly a sound of protest. Neither was the deep growl that came from him in response.
“What thefuck?—”
“Brother!”
Vile grinned against her lips before stepping away.
“Deal accepted, Sasha darling.” Vile laughed. “And sealed with a kiss.”
And in that moment, she knew she’d been played.
Fuck.
Sidney couldn’t believeher eyes.
One minute, they’d been standing in Neverland. Then, Virtue had swept her up and told her they had to go save Sasha from being ripped to pieces by what was probably a very angry Vile.
Sashahadnoblysaved her from Captain Hook, after all, which would have sent Vile into an angry rage.
So they had appeared in Vile’s part of the library, intending on busting in to save Sasha from danger.
Only to find her on her back on a table, with Vile between her legs.Making out.
Sidney couldn’t believe her eyes. Sasha was sucking face with theguy who had just threatened to kill them both. What theactual fuckwas going on? What was shethinking?
