walked into the library.”
    He held out his hand.
    She smiled. The man had a one-track mind. She had to admit that she’d been
    thinking about having sex with him too. Her questions had managed to distract her a
    little. She still had doubts about having sex with him, but it wasn’t going to stop her.
    She was going to take the chance. It would probably complicate things, but she knew
    the desire building between them wasn’t going to disappear. It was too strong. She was
    enough of a realist to know that it was going to happen. Samiel and Jaeson wouldn’t
    just ignore the attraction between them. She wanted to make the choice, not have it
    made for her. Also, she had to find out if the pull between them was entirely physical or
    some sort of binding spell wrought by the blades to keep them together.
    She stood and walked around the bed and took his hand. He tugged her into his
    lap. The move caught her by surprise and she lost her balance. She braced her hands on
    his shoulders as she fell. He caught her and settled her across his thighs. She looked up
    and found his beautiful eyes locked with hers.
    “As much as I would love to take this opportunity and make love with you, I don’t
    want you to regret it.” He drew his hand down her back. “Are you sure this is what you
    want?”
    “I’ve made my choice. I want you. I suspect you knew before I was ready to admit
    it. I’m ready to have sex with you. I’m not ready to talk about anything permanent. This
    is my home. I’m needed here.” She lifted her chin. No matter what they thought, she
    would have a say in this.

    He frowned. “You can’t think that you can just walk away from us after this battle
    is finished. You belong with us.”
    “I’m not going to talk about that right now. We’ll deal with it later. Now do you
    want me or should I go back to my research?” She pushed against his chest, putting just
    a little distance between them.
    “You’re not going back to your research.” His hands tightened on her hips. “Not
    tonight.”
    Her hands stroked over his chest to his shoulders relaxing against him. His scent
    swirled around her. It seemed to intensify with every breath she took. Her need rose to
    an even higher level. He leaned down and his lips brushed over her cheek. She turned
    her head and met his lips. Her mouth opened beneath his. She licked at his lips when he
    did nothing more than brush his mouth from side to side. He laughed softly. His
    tongue stoked into her mouth. She relaxed against him and let the hot sensation sweep
    through her, but she wasn’t passive. Her tongue tangled with his. She wanted to draw
    him as deep into the kiss as she was. His groan and the tightening of his arms only
    spurred her to do more.
    She hooked an arm around his neck lacing her fingers through his hair. The feel of it
    amazed her. It was so soft and she loved running her fingers through it. She couldn’t
    help wondering what it would feel like trailing over her body as they made love. His
    hand slid down her back and under her shirt. She drew in a gasping breath. His hand
    was so warm and she wanted to feel more. She pushed back into his touch.
    “I want to see you naked. Let’s get you out of these clothes.” He drew back and
    looked down at her shirt.
    “Only if we get rid of your clothes too. I’m sure you’d be much more comfortable
    without them.” Her eyes trailed down his chest and stopped at the close-fitting pants.
    She traced her hand down his chest and to the hard ridge of flesh below his waist. She
    wanted to touch and explore just as much as he said he did.
    He froze as her fingers slid up and down over his cock. His breath sounded raspy
    as he drew in a quick breath. She loved the quick, intense reaction to her touch. Only
    the fabric of his pants separated her fingers from his cock. She wanted that barrier gone.
    Her fingers moved up, seeking buttons or laces. She found laces that fastened his
    pants, but
