Chapter Eleven

Lorcan didn’t take off his pants as ordered, which was a damned shame.

Yes, his ass looked spectacular in dress slacks, but it looked even better out of them. Instead, he leaned in, slanted his mouth over mine, and kissed me.

And it was unlike any kiss we’d ever shared.

Our relationship, for good or ill, had always been a thing of passion, a thing with teeth, and the bite of nails on skin. We were natural enemies, which meant an intertwining of such, a tangling, had violent and often delightful ends. Prior to my deciding to ignore him for a protracted length of time, we’d ‘tangled’ more times than I could count, but it was never enough. I always wanted more: more hard, drugging kisses, more hair-pulling, more of the delicious ache he left between my legs.

This kiss though was so achingly tender, it brought stinging tears to my eyes.

As if feeling the reaction he had on me, Lorcan cradled my face in his hands like I was something breakable, something infinitely precious. ‘Infinitely precious’ was probably exactly how Lorcan saw me, even though he knew better. I was a witch, a fact which had always evened the playing field between us. Lorcan was stronger and faster than I was, but I could weaponize nature against him.

I’d told him once that I wasn’t toothless, and I’d meant it. But I doubted he’d ever stop seeing me as his responsibility. There was a broken part of him that still pined for his sire. It didn’t matter that the man had been a bastard who’d turned Lorcan for spite. There was just something about being abandoned by a parent that carved a ragged hole inside you. I knew that personally. Mother had turned on me the second she’d obtained second sight and realized I would lead to her downfall.

Even though both he and I had been abandoned in our young lives, I knew Lorcan would always be there for me, no matter what. And I could say the same for myself—no matter what happened between us, he would always be able to count on me.

His mouth moved slowly and ever so gently against mine, coaxing the kiss into a smooth, unhurried rhythm. His hands slid from my face, down the column of my throat, and across my shoulders. This was the point at which there was usually a sense of rising impatience that resulted in the destruction of whatever was in the way. I couldn’t feel that tension in the line of his body now though. He was so damned gentle, even as he explored the contours of my body. It took me a moment to realize why.

Lorcan thought this might be the last time he’d feel me blazing with warmth, my heart thundering as he touched me. For all his protests to the contrary, I was fairly sure he didn’t think I’d make it out of this alive—that Rupert would insist I turn. If my days were numbered, Lorcan wanted to savor this moment now, not tear my clothes off in a frenzy.
