do.”
Grinning, he walked her through the basics of stabbing and thrusting with the slender blade. She did okay for her first time, using him as a target. He dodged out of the way every time. But when they moved on to swinging and chopping, she had more trouble executing the proper motions.
“Your problem is with the follow-through.” He frowned. “I think that will just take time and practice. Here, try to start with your arm like this…” He moved behind her, gently guiding her wrist and elbow.
She sucked in a breath at the contact. His hands were warm, and those zings of electricity returned, swirling around her arm. Her world slowed down to the laziest fast-forward setting on her DVD player, and she watched his hands touch her skin, heard his voice at her ear. Her mind didn’t register his words, but her body greedily drank in every detail of the demon beside her.
His hands tightened a fraction and his body stilled. She turned her head to peek at him, wondering if he felt the same way she did.
“Did you have a date today, Brooke?” he asked, his tone cold, his jaw set. His words pulled her from her trance.
“ What?”
He repeated his question.
She stared at his hand, still encircling her wrist. Her body drowning in the warm, pleasurable sensation of simply being next to him, her mind was nowhere close to being able to process his unexpected words. “What are you talking about?”
He dipped his head slightly toward her arm. “I smell a human male.”
“Are you saying I smell like a man ?” She gaped at him and tried unsuccessfully to jerk her arm away. Even for Kai, this was a new level of rudeness.
“You’ve been in close contact with one. His scent lingers on your skin.” Kai’s voice was low and rough.
“I haven—” Brooke stopped mid-sentence, her eyes slowly lowering to the floor. Charles. They had walked arm-in-arm out of the office tonight. Kai took issue with Charles ? The idea would be funny if it wasn’t so preposterous.
She yanked her arm away and took a step back, glaring at him. “What is your problem, Kai? I’ve been working my ass off, putting in twelve-hour days! If I had time for a date, why would I end up here at the end of the night? And what the hell business is it of yours anyway?” She practically spat out the last words.
He took a step closer. His brown eyes took on a dark amber glow. “It’s our business because you’re vulnerable. You may be a Solsti, but you’ve got a lot to learn. We keep you safe, and that means we get to know your shit. You don’t get to fuck whoever you want, Sprite.”
Gasping in shock, she flung the sword to the floor. She knew her mouth was hanging open again. Fury raced through her blood and she reacted without thinking. “You don’t own me! I’m not fucking anyone !” She swung her leg up in a high arc, aiming for his ribs.
Still anticipating the satisfying crack of bone, her back hit the mats with a thud. Her breath gone in a whoosh , she looked up into the amber luster of Kai’s eyes. In the fraction of a second it took her to breathe, he pinned her beneath his muscular body, her arms held above her head by one of his hands.
He leaned down until only inches separated them. “Good,” he growled, and he covered her mouth with his.
Her words of protest died. Every reason why this was a bad idea fled her mind. The little sparks she felt when their arms had brushed were nothing compared to the sensation of his lips. At once soft and demanding, she was conscious of only one thought. More .
His kiss was like embers falling on dry leaves. Desire shot through her blood, igniting every cell, chasing away every thought that didn’t involve getting his body as close to hers as possible. Her skin grew warm as he nudged her lips apart. She opened without hesitation, welcoming the insistent thrust of his tongue deep in her mouth. He flicked the roof of her mouth and she gasped at his teasing intensity.
