Marie. Imagine that you belong to me. That you’re my wild willing wife.”
Wild . Willing . Wife .
Confused, she dragged her nails down his back. The scratches would heal as quickly as they were inflicted. She couldn’t mar his immortal skin for good. But she tried, determined to draw blood, if only for the moment.
Then, within the beat of her raging heart, they both went on the attack, kissing and biting. Nothing in her safe little human life could’ve prepared her for this kind of sex, this kind of brutal excitement. She clawed and clawed. He fucked and fucked.
He repeated the dreaded words, too. “ Gvgeyuhi . Gvgeyuhi . Gvgeyuhi .”
Marie came so hard, she nearly cracked. In the heat of their frenzied union, in the backseat of her steam-fogged car, Nicholas insisted on playing his merciless game.
Making his phony profession of love seem blindingly real.
Chapter Ten
During the remainder of their two weeks, the “blindingly real” thing hovered in the air, constant in Marie’s mind and pulling her into a heap of emotion. And now as she plopped down beside Nicholas on her sofa, she wondered what to expect.
“I had a great time,” he said.
She merely nodded. They’d just gotten home from a local amusement park and while they’d shared a wonderful experience, she’d also been secretly freaking out.
He stretched his legs, resting his feet on a calf-printed footstool. “Everything we’ve been doing has been fun.”
She gave another nod. They’d been spending every moment together, engaging in activities like horseback riding, country dancing, and long evening walks.
“What’s wrong?” he asked. “Why are you so quiet?”
Unprepared to answer what felt like a loaded question, she cautiously replied, “We only have three days left.”
“I know. I’ve been thinking about that, too. Time is running out.” He frowned. “We need to hurry up and fall in love.”
She frowned, too. “Tessa told me that I should give it chance. But I’m scared about the way it might turn out.”
“Scared that we’ll end up together or that we won’t?”
“Both.”
His brow remained furrowed. “I want it to work.”
“For the wrong reason.”
“That isn’t true. Every day that I’m with you is beautiful and exciting. When I look at you, I can actually see my future.”
“Because you want to see it so badly.”
“Because I can see it,” he countered. “Because it feels natural envisioning myself with you. It even feels natural saying, ‘I love you’ when we’re playing those sexy husband-and-wife fantasies.”
Her breath hitched. “That almost sounds like you do love me.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed. He looked as jittery as she felt. “All I know is that I want to be with you all the time. If I don’t become mortal when this ends, I’ll be devastated. Not just because I didn’t win the mortality prize, but because you won’t be part of my life.”
“I can’t imagine living my life without you, either. But how qualified am I to fall in love? I’ve only been broken up with Keith for—”
He cut her off. “I hate it when you talk about him.”
“And I hate that he made me leery of me trusting my own instincts.”
“Is what you feel for me stronger than what you felt for him?”
“God, yes.” It was a million times more. A billion. A trillion. “But I’m still scared.”
He choked out a laugh. “I’m petrified, too. I’ve been acting so cavalier, but I’m far from being an expert. The reading I’ve been doing hasn’t helped a bit. I’m totally out of my element.”
She searched his gaze, needing to hear his side of it. She’d never seen him so nervous, so humble. “What scares you the most?”
“Honestly? I’m worried that that I won’t appeal to you if I become human. That I’ll be lacking the qualities you’re attracted to.”
His response confused her. “That doesn’t make sense. You’ll be the same, only mortal.”
“Will I?” He expressed his
