Listening skills were clearly not one of his strengths, and did he call her not entirely human? “I don’t care who you are, but you need to get back to wherever you came from. I’m assuming hell.”
“What do they call you?” He stalked toward her, and Eddie backed up. Whoever he was, he was big. And in her dreams, he had wings. There was no evidence of them now, but she recalled how they’d sort of popped out of his back.
“Look.” Her back hit the wall, necessitating her taking charge of the interaction. A firm, no-nonsense tone was vital when dealing with winged whack jobs. “I’m going to need you to stay where you are.”
“Need?” The word rumbled through his voice and came out like a stroke over her senses. “What an interesting word to use.”
He kept coming until he was barely three inches away. Looming over her, muscular body radiating heat, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear. “Tell me what you need?”
Eddie was horrified when arousal tingled through her, peaking her nipples and pooling between her thighs. She clenched her jaw to keep from heavy breathing. She wanted to touch him, wanted to press against him, rub herself over him like a cat. “I’m really not comfortable with your behavior.”
“What are you then?” Raspy and deep, his voice stroked her desire like he was blowing on flame.
“Scared.” That had to be it. She couldn’t be turned on by this dickwad. She didn’t like overbearing men.
He chuckled, his breath puffing hot against her neck. He was so close, yet no part of him actually made contact with her. She wanted to melt like hot toffee and glue herself to him.
“Shall I tell you what you are?” he rasped.
“N-no.” She couldn’t seem to make her mouth form words. A moan built in her throat, and she clamped her jaw before it escaped. Heat prickled over her skin, sunk into her muscles, and settled deep into her cells. She needed him to touch her, to touch him, to have him, for him to possess her. Use her. Take her.
“There is a name for what makes your breasts throb for my hand and my mouth. There is a reason why your pussy is hot and wet for me.”
Dear God, he was right. Her panties felt uncomfortably constricting against the molten heat. Every sound he made increased the pressure on her clit. If she wasn’t so aroused, she might find her condition embarrassing.
“Shall I make you feel better? he whispered. “Shall I make you come?”
“What?” she breathed, part of her wanting to shove him away, but an even bigger part wanting what he promised.
“I can do it,” he murmured, still no contact but his mouth so close her skin tingled from proximity. “I can make you come without touching you.”
He was too close, not close enough. “Please,” she whispered, not sure what she was begging for.
Heat built inside her, burning her up from the inside out. She felt like she would go up in flames and glory in the conflagration.
“I can do anything I want with you.” He blew on her neck. “Your body is mine to play with.”
A voice screamed inside her, trying desperately to be heard over the clamor of her desire. She didn’t want this, didn’t want him. Oh, but she did. She needed him. She needed him to make her feel so good.
“Remember, little human,” he whispered. “I can own every part of you.”
No, she refused. Her protest begged to be heard, and she tugged desperately for some semblance of sanity. “No.”
“No?” He met her gaze. Surprise flickered in his eyes.
“No.” She didn’t know how she could ever have thought his eyes cold. They blazed with heat as he gazed down at her. Not even she could believe her as she whispered, “I mean yes.”
He raised one darkly slashed eyebrow at her. “Is it yes or no, little human?”
“Definitely no.” She dragged a deep breath into her starved lungs. “Step back.”
For a long, charged moment, he stared down at her.
Eddie battled her traitorous body into submission. Already the words to take back her refusal gathered behind her teeth and begged to be spoken.
“Lust.” He finally nodded. “Do not summon me again unless you want to feel it consume you.”
He stepped away, taking the heat with him, and stepped through the hell gate.
