Chapter Five

I planted my palms against his chest and shoved. “What are you doing?” I whispered harshly.

He didn’t budge. In fact, he moved in closer, pressing his entire body into mine. “I’m doing you a favor,” he said, his words so faint, I barely heard him. Then he scrapped his teeth down my neck, sending a shock of desire straight to my core. I swayed into him, desperate to feel his body against mine.

“That’s right, witch. Just like that,” he said, then he pressed his lips to mine once more.

Heat and pleasure darted through me, and just for the moment, I let myself get lost in the kiss. My hands clutched at his shirt as I met his passionate kiss with a fervor of my own. My blood hummed, and everything pulsed. I wanted this. Wanted every part of him.

I tilted my head to the side, deepening the kiss, and heard nothing but the rush of desire in my ears. The world around me slipped away, and suddenly, nothing mattered except the way this man felt against me.

He brought one hand up and cupped my cheek, caressing my jaw with his thumb. After a moment, he broke the kiss and rested his forehead against mine. I opened my eyes and stared into his heated gaze.

“They’re gone,” he said. “You’re welcome.”

“What?” I frowned, trying to listen for the footsteps that had been following me. I heard nothing but the hum of the porch light on the house next door.

He let me go and took a step back. “I saved you from being mauled by the pack.

“How do you figure?” I demanded, resisting the urge to press my fingertips to my still tingling lips.

“They were coming for you. You know that, otherwise you wouldn’t have darted down this street. But it wouldn’t have mattered. They had your scent, and they’d have gotten you eventually. I kissed you to mask your scent. They wouldn’t think to stop for me… not when they’re on a hunt.”

“I…” Son of a bitch. Was he for real? Or was this just another trap? I bent down and retrieved my discarded blade. “If you’re lying to me, I’ll do more than just put you into a coma.”

His lips twitched into an amused smile. “It’s not a lie.”

“Then where did they go? A pack never just gives up on a hunt. Not that easily.”

“I might have dumped that wig you were wearing earlier in one of the garbage cans a few streets over. They likely found it, realized you were long gone, and left to lick their bruised egos. Meanwhile, you’re safe and still threatening me, even though I’ve done nothing but try to help you.”

“Help me. How do you—oh.” I frowned, realizing he had point. He’d neutralized Scar Face and protected me from a pack of wolves.

His smile widened. “I see you’re catching on now.”

“Don’t be smug,” I said and peered down the street. “They’re really gone?”

“For now,” he said and shoved his hands into his pockets. “But you never know when they might be back.
