But this woman… Lily… I look into her eyes and I see the same threat.Moreof one because one look and she’s already won over Aden. Whatever the fuck is going on in Kade’s head makes me think she’s started the process with him as well.
I tighten my hand around the remote. Plastic creaks ominously.
If I let her, she will come between us and shatter us apart. Permanently.
I can’t let that happen.
After releasing my grip on the remote, I stab at the play button and Lily lowers her head before she starts down the stairs after Aden.
My eyes focus on the long flow of dark hair, tangled and wind-blown, but thick and glossy. For a single second, it parts to reveal a long slender neck… and a mass of scars.No, Dariel.Bite marks, deep grooves, and scar tissue on her throat.
My wolf lunges. I grab onto the chair arm with one hand and my other clenches the remote so hard that plastic shatters, and I’m holding the remains of a broken remote in my hand.
But I hold him back.
Just.
Every day, it gets harder and harder to hold the beast inside me back. He wants out like no fucker has wanted anything before. He wants to rend, to kill, to lacerate the world.
I thought Monica would be the one to calm him, to silence the furious growls, but I should’ve known that no one can.
Better I stay apart from the world before I destroy it.
But this woman? This Lily? My wolf wants her.
To kill or to fuck, I don’t know.
Maybe my wolf senses a threat.
I angle my head and study her some more.
Possible.
Maybe she’s just like Monica, and my wolf knows it before the man.
Then why do you want to bury your hands in her dark hair and peel the clothes from her body?
She’s small. Petite. Too small, too frail to take a man as big as me. I would break her, she’d beg me to stop… if her body could take me at all.
My breathing turns shallow as my cock hardens and throbs. Fuck, I want her.
At the bottom of the stairs, she lifts her head a little, and again, it’s like she’s looking right at me. I visualize her on her knees, peering up at me with those eyes full of need as she parts her soft pink lips and takes me in her mouth.
I’m reaching for my cock when someone thumps on my door. Not just anyone. Aden. I’m out of my seat and across the room, switching the monitor off at the wall, a second before Aden sticks his head in.
“Hey, just wanted to let you know I’m back.”
I gaze at him calmly, as if I wasn’t just a second away from stroking myself with thoughts of Lily wrapping her lips around my cock. “I’m guessing you took her to your apartment and not a hotel for you to be back so soon. What if she steals something?”
Aden shrugs, his gaze roaming the room. I clock the moment he spots the remains of the remote scattered on my desk.
Fuck, why didn’t I clean it off?
When his gaze returns to me, there’s no change in his expression. But that’s Aden: no one can fake it like Aden can. That mask is impervious to flaky staff, customers so rude you’d happily bottle them, women who don’t seem to understand that not every guy wants their junk squeezed with five-inch claw-like manicures, and guys who think because he’s got a pretty face, he’s an easy target.
“Nothing to steal. And even if there was, she wouldn’t.”
I wait for him to return to the bar now that he’s said what he came here to say, but he hovers in the doorway as if he knows a question lurks in my mind.
