She traced her finger over the book’s contents page. “There are books about magic spells and curses and stuff like that here. I bet one has something about breaking mating bonds.” She put the book back onto the shelf and picked up another. “And even if we can’t find anything in these books, I’m sure we can find it somewhere. Once the pack is free, I can look for it.” I grabbed her wrist and turned her toward me. The book fell from Raika’s hand. “Hey!”
“You want to break the bond?” I asked, a snarl in my words. I couldn’t help it, but this subject made me angry.
Brows knotted, Raika pulled her hand free from my grip. “It’s what both of us want.”
“Who says I want to break the bond?”
She stared at me, her eyes wide. “Why wouldn’t you? You hate me.”
Dear moon …
In a flash, I splayed one hand on Raika’s lower back, pulling her to me, gripped behind her neck with my other hand, and closed my mouth around hers. At first, Raika froze, but when I moved my lips across hers, she whimpered and moved with me. She even parted her lips, letting me slip my tongue inside. By the moon … her soft lips, her delicious taste, her intoxicating scent, and her tight body pressed against mine.
It was too much and still not enough.
Deepening the kiss, I spun us around and pressed Raika’s back against a tall bookshelf. She whimpered again as her hands snaked up and hooked around my shoulders. Her nails dug into my skin and it was pure pain mixed with pleasure.
It was perfection.
I had imagined kissing Raika thousands of times, but none had been this good, this amazing. Her body molded into mine, and her lips seemed to have been made to fit mine.
She was my mate.
She was mine.
My body came alive at the thought. Desire flooded every inch of my veins and my pants were suddenly tight.
I broke the kiss, dragged my lips across her cheek at the same time that I slid my hands down her back and around her hips, holding her tight against me so she could feel how much I wanted her.
I whispered in her ear, “Do you still think I hate you? That I want to break the bond?”
Raika stilled in my arms. She put her hands on my chest and pushed me hard. A growl rose in my throat, but I stepped back, giving her the space that she wanted.
“This—” She gestured between us. “—was the bond. Nothing else.”
I frowned. “What the hell does that mean?”
Of course that was the bond, but it was so much more. We belonged together and she knew that. Why was she fighting it?
“I don’t have to explain myself to you.” Raika shook her head and smoothed her hands down her hair. “At any rate, I have to go. Minsi has been with Rue for a long time now. They're waiting for the books.” She glanced at me, her eyes hard. “When you have something to share with me about the plan, or what I have to do, you know where to find me.”
With sure steps, Raika stepped around me. I wanted to go after her, to hold her arm, to make her talk to me, but I didn’t want to push it and have her distance herself from me even more.
So I watched as Raika picked up a handful of books from the pile and raced out of the library, leaving me alone with a massive hard-on.
