His answering grin made my legs weak. His dimples appeared, like magic, showing me how happy he was. He leaned in, brushing my lips softly with his before pulling away. “Je t’aime, cherie,” he said before kissing me deeply.
We slid to the ground. I couldn’t take my eyes from him as I tried to catch my breath. I licked my lips and stared at him.
God. He was way too hot. His abs. His long, muscular legs. His arms. Holy shit, his arms.
I was addicted to him. Totally and completely.
It occurred to me that he took great care of me, minus the whole biting thing, but what did I do for him? He balanced me. Brought me back whenever I was losing control. He was fun. He made me laugh and relax. He didn’t take anything too seriously, except for the Cazadores and the pack. And me.
Dastien sat up on his elbows. “What is it?”
I raised an eyebrow in question.
“You blocked me when you changed forms, so I can’t read you. But I can still feel your emotions and you’re full of doubts. What are you thinking?”
“Don’t make me say it. Just let me have a little privacy.” Man, he always wanted to talk about it. I could already tell he wasn’t going to let this one go.
“No way. Not when you’re feeling like that.” He pulled me closer. “That’s why I like the walls down. So you don’t hide things from me.”
My cheeks were on fire. “It’s nothing.” I hopped up, but he snatched my foot and I fell to the ground a few feet from him.
I screeched—a very uncool sound—and tried to stop myself as he dragged me back to him. It was a lost cause, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to win anyhow.
When I was close, he pounced on me, pinning me to the ground. “You sure you don’t want to tell me?”
I nodded.
His eyes flashed amber and he dug his fingers into my side, tickling me. I started convulsing with laughter.
He stopped. “And now?”
“No way. I’m not—”
I was laughing again. Gasping for air. I threw my weight around, trying to get out from under him, but I was fully pinned. There would be no breaking free.
“Now?”
“No way.”
He found the right spot, along my second rib. I don’t know why it was so damned ticklish there, but I couldn’t breathe I was laughing so hard. Tears rolled down my cheeks.
“Uncle. Uncle!” I shouted when I thought I might pee my pants if he didn’t stop.
He sat back on his heels and pulled me to sit. “And?”
It took me a second to catch my breath. “I was just…” Damn it. I wiped my hands down my face, and tried to untangle my hair but it was a lost cause and I had no hair tie.
Crap. This was beyond embarrassing. “I was wondering what our relationship did for you?”
The surprised laugh that came from Dastien made me want to crawl in a deep dark hole. “You what?” He yell-laughed.
I mumbled something incoherent and he laughed harder. It echoed through the woods and he fell on his back.
Screw this. I was being serious and he was laughing at me. “You’re an ass.” I got up and kicked his side.
Before I could turn to walk away, he snagged my foot again, and pulled me down on him. “You’re everything to me.”
I tried to sit back, but he wouldn’t let me.
