hands clasped my shoulders and with his thumbs he began to knead the muscles there.
“You are so tense. There is no need to fear me, Dara. I only want to see to your needs.”
I wanted to tell him there was more to my fear than he thought. I feared the fact that I wanted him, like I have never wanted any other man. That he was the type of man you could lose yourself in and that was not what I wanted, or what I needed right now. I wanted to tell him I feared I was about to go to fulfill a prophecy he’d help keep hidden from me, but for some reason I just couldn’t find the words.
“Trust me.” His voice sounded sincere, but how could I be sure?
A whimper passed my lips as his breath ghosted over my neck. He made it all sound so easy, as if giving into him wouldn’t mean that I was giving up who I was. Who I had fought so hard to become, it would all disappear in a heartbeat if I allowed this to go any further. His wolf would demand complete obedience and I would be compelled to give it.
Josef’s hands pushed the towel lower on my back. He was crossing a fine line but right now I couldn’t even think straight. The only thing I knew was that my body was responding to him in ways I didn’t think possible. My mind warred with my building desire. Trying to remind me why this was a bad idea, but my body knew that this might be the only chance I had with him.
Doing this was wrong, he’d put Sabine in harm’s way. Before Josef could disarm me all together I stood, putting enough space between us so I could think clearly. So I could find my willpower and remember that there was a little girl who needed saving. Instead of a selfish werewolf that wanted to claim someone he had no right to. Yep, I’d just keep telling myself that and maybe it would work.
Waving my hand between us I whispered, “This cannot happen.”
He stood; grabbing me and pulling me flush against him. Josef leaned forward his lips brushing the column of my throat as he spoke. “Stop fighting this. Can’t you feel how badly I need you?”
He pushed his manhood against me, causing my breath to hitch. Yes, his need was definitely evident. That thought brought a whole new set of fears to the forefront. Josef was no small man, not in any respect. There was no way we’d fit. Before I could answer him or pull away, he scrapped his incisors across my pulse point. A breathy moan left my lips as my hands gripped his broad shoulders for balance. Once more the fragrance of sandalwood was rising off of him, causing a wave of desire to wash over me.
“I can smell your desire, little one. You cannot deny this anymore than I can.”
Josef had pulled back enough to look me in the eyes. His pupils had completely overrun his iris, letting me know that the beast was lurking just under the surface. A beast I was sure I didn’t want to meet because there was no way to defeat it. I hate a fight I have no chance of winning and if I was honest with myself I wouldn’t even try to win this one.
Looking at his stark need I could see my own reflected there. Ah hell, there really was no way for me to fight this. He was right, for the last couple of days I’d fought my need for him and it had been agonizing. Intense, like the pain of an addict trying not to take that next hit. Now, with certain death looming I figured why not indulge. After facing Kristoff later tonight, I might not be around for another chance like this.
He must have seen the war going on behind my eyes, because before I could answer him, his lips crashed down on mine. An electric current raced from my lips throughout my body, setting my nerve endings on fire.
Josef’s free hand tugged the towel from my body, baring my sensitive skin to the cool room. Never one to miss an opportunity he cupped my now bare breast. The rough feeling of his palm against my soft flesh pulled a gasp from my lips. His tongue plundered my mouth, causing me to tilt my head back. Deepening the kiss, giving myself over to
