My first instinct was to step away from him, but one of his arms wrapped around my stomach, pinning me against him.
“Quiet,” he whispered in my ear. “Try to relax. You’re breathing too fast.”
The sound of the warehouse doors opening in the distance caused me to yelp.
Alek’s hands instinctively tightened on my body.
I wanted to scream. I wanted to tell him this was a terrible idea and that he was a complete dumbass for bringing me here.
But just as panic began taking over my senses, Alek’s finger slid under the hem of my shirt. His finger moved slowly, sliding upward on my bare skin until his entire hand was flat against my stomach.
I leaned back into him with a gasp. His other hand moved up to my neck. He used his thumb to lift my chin, turning it slightly so my neck was exposed to him.
Every single inch of my body grew aware of everywhere he touched me.
His hand on my stomach moved higher, his thumb reaching the underwire of my bra.
My breathing slowed. Whatever wicked plan he had, it was working.
The footsteps in the warehouse grew louder and louder. Alek pulled me flush to him, ensuring we were hidden in the depths of the shadows.
But the footsteps grew heavier. Closer.
Just as I thought the closet door would burst open, Alek leaned down, his mouth finding the exposed area of my neck. His hot breath tickled me before his teeth gently grazed the delicate skin. I froze as his hands tightened around my torso.
And then I felt his tongue skimming toward the area of my shoulder where he had bit me.
Holy hell.
Fire erupted through my body. I tilted my head further, giving him more room as his hands tortured my senses. His fingers remained teasing, gently lingering just under my bra but not crossing that delicate line.
Even though I wanted him too.Shit,I wanted him to.
I didn’t even realize the footsteps were walking away, leaving our hiding spot in the darkness of the warehouse.
Alek’s lips moved slowly across the sensitive skin of my neck. The memories of his fangs embedding my flesh flashed through my mind. I wanted it. I wantedhim,and the wound from his teeth seemed to want it more. A heated, burning sensation ignited beneath my skin.
Alek didn’t stop when we heard our followers leave. Instead, his hands gripped me even tighter, his fingertips now digging into my body with a new sense of urgency.
My head fell back onto his shoulder as his hands pulled my body tighter against him.
“Fuck, Lyra,” he growled.
I didn’t want him to stop. I leaned into him even more, surrendering fully to his touch.
His hands moved lower, dipping under the waistband of my leggings. An eagerness I had never felt before washed over me, taking control of my racing heart.
I became pressingly aware of his fingers lingering.
What the hell am I doing?
The realization hit me all at once.
I pushed myself off of him, pulling my shirt back down and retreating to the other side of the small closet.
“Why did you do that?” I asked.
“You needed to calm down,” he replied.
