you were thrashing about out of control.”
    â€œI felt like I was being ripped from myself. It’s hard to explain.”
    â€œYou called out a name. Do you remember?”
    I nodded. “Ayres. Though I don’t know why.”
    He looked thoughtful. “I once knew an Ayres. It was a long time ago.” He shook his head as if to overthrow the memory. Then, staring into my eyes, he took my hands into his, the warmth and strength of him washing over me. There were tiny beads of sweat on his neck and his chest, which I now noticed was bare. Long gray boxer-like shorts covered his bottom half almost to his knees. They were tight, however, and from where he sat I could see the bulge of his sex. I became intensely aware of the close proximity of our bodies. The way his chest, bare of hair, and rippling with muscles, rose and fell with each breath he took. A tingling in my lower regions made me tense for a moment until I figured out it came not from my lower legs, but from higher up between them. My breasts tingled as well and my nipples hardened into tight little buds.
    Was that desire I was feeling?
    How unusual.
    I’d never felt such a thing before, of that I was certain.
    I licked at my suddenly dry lips as Cade’s thumbs caressed the palms of my hands. He looked at my mouth and watched my tongue, seemingly mesmerized by it. I felt my own breath deepen and became aware of a sudden dampness between my thighs. Our eyes met and locked. Time seemed to freeze.
    Achingly slow, as though battling a force stronger than himself, Cade bent and pressed his lips against mine. His kiss was soft and gentle, but soon became more forceful. I gasped, unwittingly allowing his seeking tongue entry into my mouth.
    My first kiss.
    My hands broke from his hold and came up around the back of his head. His kiss deepened, his tongue plunged further into my mouth to seek out and battle with mine. I felt his hand creep up my side and come over my breast. He pinched my nipple between his thumb and finger making me arch my back. His other hand came up to the side of my face and slid into my hair. He gripped my head with his hand holding me in place while his tongue plunged in and out of my mouth. I felt my thighs open. And a primal urge rushed though me, wanting the action of his tongue enacted between my legs. The core of me tightened and ached for fulfillment.
    I knew about sex. Knew what it entailed. What I hadn’t known or expected was my body’s intense reaction to a simple kiss. This was a dangerous game we played. Thena had warned me about the lusty males of Calixtus. And right now Cade was caught up in this play.
    I had to stop.
    If I allowed him to continue this would be our ruin.
    Reluctantly, I put my hands against his chest, which was almost right on top of mine. With effort, I turned my head away. “Stop,” I said. “Please stop.”
    The grip on my breast tightened while Cade raised his head, closed his eyes, and took several steadying breaths.
    â€œHell,” he said. “I don’t want to stop. But you’re right.”
    The words were left unsaid that I must remain a virgin. It was the entire reason for me being here with him. Without it I’d have no value.
    He sighed and got to his feet. As he strode toward the door he paused for a moment on the threshold. “Remember what I said about training you to fight?”
    â€œYeah.”
    â€œForget it.” The door clicked as he shut it tight behind him.

Chapter 12
    It must have been hours later when something awoke me—that tearing sensation I’d felt earlier. I put my hands to my mouth to keep from crying out. Though I longed to beg for help, I refrained, knowing that the deep, angry force in me would surge forward with abandon. The last thing I wanted or needed was for Cade to rush in here and for us to do battle again. Images flooded my mind’s eye. Crazy things, otherworldly things, popping into my line
