one membership nobody wants.” His voice
was rough with emotion. She almost felt sorry for him in a way.
“You’re forgiven, now will you go, please?” She hated the
way he tied up her emotions so completely.
He leaned forward and ran his nose along her jawline. “I
wish things could be different between us.” His voice was a soft whisper
against her neck. Did he notice how much his words affected her?
“This isn’t natural. I can’t…” Oh God, that feels good. Christian
moved is hips lazily against her heat, stroking her in just the right spot. Her
legs trembled and her nails dug into his arms. Think of something else,
anything to resist.
“Maybe we can work this out somehow. Aren’t you willing to
at least explore the idea?”
“There’s no way. You tried to bite me.” She sounded
breathless. Part of her actually started to weigh the options, which freaked
her out even more.
“I didn’t mean for that to happen. I lost control. But it
won’t happen again.” He continued to move against her. She was teetering on the
edge as her hips titled up to meet his. He was a freaking sex magnet.
“I can’t. It’s too dangerous. Now get off before I do.” Her words came out in a gasping breath.
“Let me bring you pleasure.” He caressed her cheek and kept
up with the assault.
“Quit trying to seduce me,” she moaned, already knowing
she’d succumb. He was too good at it. Not surprising, he’s a freaking vampire.
“Damn it.” He lifted himself, his breathing heavy as he
hovered above her.
The loss of contact was upsetting . She had to force
herself not to reach for him.
That was when she noticed a tiny red light flashing above
the window. He must’ve tripped the silent alarm when he came through. Her men
were on their way, she was sure of it.
“You should leave. Now. ” She glanced at the door.
“Not until we talk. I have some question before I go.” He
sat back on his haunches.
“What—are you worried I’ll press charges? Don’t worry, your
secret is safe with me.”
“I never doubted you’d keep it to yourself.” He gave her a
knowing look.
“You’re as cocky as shit.” She sat up and crossed her arms
against her chest.
“It’s a logical conclusion, considering no cops came after
you left. Tell me something, and I want the truth this time. What is your real
name?” His eyes shone in the moonlight streaming through the window as he gazed
at her.
“I told you back at the office, so why are you asking that
question again?”
“Barkley never mentioned having a daughter before he died.”
“Can you blame him, considering what he knew about you?”
“Barkley didn’t fear us. He knew our secrets. Why would he
be concerned when he knew we didn’t hunt humans for food? Your father trusted
my kind, and we trusted him. May I?” He pointed to the bedside lamp.
“Sure, go ahead.” She was getting nervous, they didn’t have
much time. But this was intel and he was spilling, so she let him go on.
He climbed off the bed, flipped the switch and leaned
against the wall. Damn, Christian Voss stole her breath away. The guy made her seriously
question her own sanity. He was the enemy. Yet she found herself completely
mesmerized by this monster.
“I do apologize for my actions earlier. You affect me
and I don’t understand why.” He watched her warily.
“I can relate,” she sighed. He didn’t try to bite her again,
at least. Maybe he could control that other side of his nature when he wanted
to. That was good, wasn’t it?
Don’t fall for it, Hayes.
“I’ve never bitten a human. You’re the first one who’s ever
even tempted me enough to try.” He gave her a bemused glance.
Now that caught her by surprise. “Should I give you a
medal for abstaining? I don’t buy it.”
“Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to
control our bloodlust. That’s what blood banks are for. Only Rogues go after
humans.”
“There’s a difference?” Now she was really
