bodies from touching, but not far enough for me to completely be able to clear my head.
I put my hands on his chest as he kept his on my hips.
“Blake, we can’t do this.” I couldn’t believe reason won out. My body was sorely disappointed, and for that, the ache between my thighs grew more intense, as did the heaviness in my lower abdomen.
The strong pull between us was impossible to ignore. He used it well against my resolve. Every chance he got.
A smile formed on his lips.
When he spoke, desire made his voice more heady and deep.
“Sydney, you know I don’t agree with that. The reasons you think we can’t be together can be dealt with. You are my life-mate. You shouldn’t worry about how it will affect the pack relationship with the vampires. We’re big boys. We can take care of ourselves.”
Before I could respond, Brianna knocked on the door again and said with a whine in her voice, “Sydney, it’s already getting late. Are you guys coming with us or not?”
My sister did not like to miss out on having a good time.
Blake and I gazed at each other and laughed.
I gave Blake a questioning look, wondering if he had come over intending on going with us to the club.
“I’ll come with you and your sister, if that’s okay.” He put his hands up and finished with, “I promise to behave myself for as long as you want me to.”
The smile on his face almost undid me. It was torture fighting the desire he fueled. I wanted more than anything to go back into his arms and finish what we started. Knowing he was right there and more than willing to be with me, mind, body, and soul, was almost impossible to resist.
But it came with a price.
A big one.
A vision flashed before my eyes of him taking me from behind while watching us together in the bathroom mirror. My body broke out into a hot sweat. I needed to put some distance between us, because if I didn’t, we wouldn’t be going anywhere. For everyone’s sake, Blake and I needed to stay away from each other. How was it I was the only one who could see the reasoning in that?
“Okay, but we need to go downstairs. Now.”
I whipped the door open and was planning on storming out of the bathroom before he could grab me.
Brianna stood in the doorway with her hand raised to knock again. She glanced from me to Blake and then back to me. Her grin deepened and her cheeks reddened.
“Yes, let’s go.”
I pushed past her to go down the steps into the kitchen. I didn’t need to see the knowing look on her face, or the big smile, and I didn’t want to watch while Brianna and Blake shared a conspiratorial, possibly victorious, glance between them.
Brianna could just go ahead thinking what she was thinking. It wasn’t going to happen; it couldn’t. I almost hated to wait until the day arrived that I would be able to tell her what was really going on, then I wouldn’t have to deal with her trying to help Blake play mind games with my heart.
Aunt Judith was in the kitchen reading one of the many old books from the library Grandma Maria left to us. My aunt was a practicing Wiccan, even though she wouldn’t admit it outright, not even to me.
Michael followed Brianna into the kitchen with Blake not far behind.
Brianna smiled awkwardly. We all said our goodbyes to Aunt Judith and left.
Blake insisted on driving us in his Audi. It amazed me that a werewolf would have such good taste in cars. I would have pegged him for a guy who would drive a big pickup truck with a lifted suspension and oversized tires.
Chapter 6
We all got out of the car where Blake had parked down the street from the club. The snow falling all around us was beautiful, but it wouldn’t last. Spring was quickly approaching. I loved summer in Wisconsin. The grass and trees had a rich color of green, and the smell of freshly cut lawns was unbeatable. Well, that, and the smell of newly blooming lilac bushes.
I let Blake help me up onto the curb in fear that I would slip on the clear ice in
