~She squared her shoulders and notched
her chin up. Regal, stunning, her violet eyes flashed with defiance, challenge.
“Was the lowly human to ask for you permission to leave?” She pulled her hair
to the side revealing the graceful column of her neck. “Should I play the meek
mortal? Let you tap my vein.” Her sensual mouth curled in taunting smile. “My
blood, I know you want it, leech.”
Tempting lips. Sexy voice. Bitchy
words. Goddamn, he wanted her. “I thought we’d already established, if I wanted
your blood I could just take it.” His eyes narrowed. “No. There here is
something else I want from you right now.”
He advanced. She didn’t back away.
Oh, he loved her spirit. Reveled in it. Vampires shrank from him, but not his
mortal. He doubted Jordan could even spell retreat.
She moistened her lips, her tiny
teeth catching the dip of her bottom lip. He groaned. He’d nibble and lick that
bow for her. As if she could read his thoughts, Jordan responded to him. Pink
tinted her high cheekbones her breathes grew heavy and the scent of jasmine
intensified.
With unfathomable speed, he lunged.
Before she could react, he had her hair wrapped around his first. Their bodies
slammed together. Soft curves to unyielding muscle.
He had her pinned against the back
of the chaise. They both knew with one swift movement he could have her beneath
him.
Gabriel tightened his hold on her
hair as he drew his other hand up her body. His gloved fingers skimmed the
outside of her thigh, gently brushed over the arch of her hip, caressed her
side, lightly tickled her ribcage and stopped. His hand hovered just above her
breast.
One heartbeat. Two.
Jordan pressed forward, her
luscious breast fit his palm perfectly. They both groaned and shuddered from
the contact.
“You make me crazed,” Gabriel
grated. Tilting his head down, her rubbed his face against her hair, inhaling
deep. “I’ve wanted…” He pressed a kiss to the curve of her neck then to
her tip of her ear.
She shivered in his arms. He could
sense her need, her desire. It matched his own. Strong. Relentless.
He kneaded her breast, her nipple
stiffen beneath her shirt. The pearl abraded his palm, taunting him. Gabriel
wanted to taste it, to pull it between his lips. Would she like it if he used
his teeth…his fangs?
His cock pulsed. He pressed the hard
length against her belly. A shocked, delighted gasp seized in her throat. Jordan’s
voice trembled as she whispered his name.
Their gaze locked.
She aches for me just as I ache for
her. He should stop this.
Never had a woman enthralled him so…Never had he craved like this. Mindless.
The mortal, magic-less, powerless,
she’d done this to him.
Gabriel released her breast to grip
the swell of her hip. He ground his sex against her.
She’d pay. He’d teach her why no
one dared tempt a beast.
His vision shifted, his fangs
elongated. Yes, he’d show her and he’d take what he wanted.
Pulling her hair, he yanked her head
back, exposing her throat. He lean forward and inhaled her scent again, his lungs
filled with jasmine and woman. His lips brushed over her pulse, “Beautiful.” He
racked his fangs over her pulse then soothed the reddened flesh with his
tongue.
Tiny sighs escaped her lips with
every kiss he pressed against her neck, her jaw, her cheek.
“Look at me,” he demanded.
She opened her heavy lidded eyes to
peer up at him from beneath thick, dark lashes. Her violet gaze glowed with
need, her luscious lips parted as her breaths panted, silently begging for him.
When only a whisper separated their
lips, he snarled, “I’ve waited.”~
