He’s on me in a flash, his lips devouring mine.Damn it, I hate this smug asshole.I hate him so much.
But not this kiss.God, no, I don’t hate this kiss.It’s like a fucking drug.
But no.No more of this “mate” bullshit.
I pull away, ripping our lips apart with a loud smack.
“You…” I inhale, trying to catch my breath.“You fucking set me up, Rogan.Blaze and the demons.You told them to jump me.”
“Really?And then I came to your rescue just in time?”
“Seems your timingwasparticularly uncanny.”
“So you’ve deduced, then, that I orchestrated the attack on you.”
“Of course you did.Then you fucked me, and once you had your fun, you told your lemming that I wasn’t worth the effort.Don’t bother denying any of it.”
He caresses my cheek.God, his touch… I’m so hot.And now…the blood lust.
“I won’t deny it, princess.You’re right.How long did it take you to figure it out after I told you Blaze is on my payroll?”
“Fuck you, Rogan.”
“Anytime, princess.Anytime.In fact, I have an image of you in my mind, your back against that brick wall, and I’m pounding into you.”He closes his eyes for a second and inhales.Then he opens them.“Fuck!How can this be happening?”
“Control yourself, Rogan.We both know it’s an act.”
He draws in a breath, closes his eyes once more before opening them quickly and meeting my gaze.“God, I wish it were.”
“You and I both know damned well that a lycan and a vampire can’t be fated mates.Stop it now.I’m not falling for it again.”
He grabs a fistful of my hair, brings it to his nose, and inhales, eyes closed again.“Everything about you…” He opens his eyes.“I don’t deny that you’re a beautiful woman.I don’t deny that you intrigue me in just about every way.But it’s something more than that, and I know, princess.I know you feel it too.”
I back up a few steps, pulling my hair out of his grasp, until I hit the wall with my back.“If you’re telling the truth about what you’re feeling, why did you set me up?”
“When the daughter of the vampire king shows up at my hotel, I need to know what I’m dealing with.”He closes the short distance between us.“Why are you here, princess?Daddy sent you, I’m sure, but why?”
I open my mouth.The words want to spew out of me.You’re a suspect in a double vamp murder. Your bite marks were on the victims.
But if I tell him, he may destroy any evidence he has.
And if I lie, he’ll know.
So I grab his cheeks and smash our mouths together.
His groan rumbles through me as my body heats.All sounds turn silent as the blood rushing through his veins takes over and I hear nothing else.
Nothing else except his heartbeat.
Th-Thump. Th-Thump. Th-Thump.
Faster, faster, faster, until I’m sure it’s going to beat right out of his chiseled chest.
My own heartbeat finds synchrony with his, and then—
He pulls away, his green eyes on fire.My jaw drops, and I meet his gaze.His irises… They’re…moving.Swirling.Darker, lighter.Emerald turning to gold.
“Fuck,” he says through gritted teeth.
