CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Jess hesitated outside the precinct door. Now that she was aware Drago had to be involved with vampires, she resolved to shut him down permanently. She tried to tamp down her anger, but it bubbled up with such severity her fangs grew before she could stop them.

She hated a lot of things these days, but being used was at the top of her list. And all trails led to the Dragon's Lair.

"Jess?” Britt stepped in front of her. “You okay?"

Without hesitation she looked into his eyes. It wasn't hard. His soul remained open to her. She reached out to his mind and felt him lose himself to her. Become hers.

The worst part, he didn't even try to stop her. Right now, she needed to feel his lips against hers. His hands on her body. Her instinct was immediate. She didn't take time to think about what she was doing. She just did it.

At first his eyes went blank, then his arms dropped to his sides.

She yanked him around the corner of the building into the shadowed alley where they couldn't be seen. Totally under her control now, his mouth took hers desperately, and she groaned with pleasure. Yes! Yes! She needed this so badly. His hands worked their way over her body, more lascivious than he'd ever been with her before. Probably because he didn't have full control of his own mind—her own need was driving what he did to her.

With rising tempo, his lips savaged her mouth, her neck, then moved down to her breastbone.

"Oh God!” she groaned in self-loathing, and shoved him away so violently he landed on his rear end on the other side of the alley.

As much as she didn't want to develop a conscience right now, she couldn't do this to him. Besides, his kisses weren't the same without freewill. Britt's inner strength was what she enjoyed the most.

Damn it. Damn him! She picked him up and led him back around the corner before he began to reawaken.

Unfortunately, she'd let his mind go too quickly in her haste to unburden herself from the horrible thing she'd done to him. Normally, she'd back out slowly, giving the person's brain time to normalize.

He suddenly stumbled backwards. Looked confused.

She hated herself for what she'd just done to him. The worst part was Britt would've happily kissed her without having his mind clouded. But then he'd know how she felt about him and she couldn't let him know.

"That's strange, I forgot what I was going to say to you.” He looked puzzled. Then he saw her face and reached out to touch her. To soothe her. After what she'd done to him!

She backed away. Shoved his hands away from her vehemently.

The look of confusion on his face added to the corruption of what she'd just done.

What did he expect of her anyway? She was a vampire! A creature of the night. She didn't play by human rules.

She cursed under her breath. “Never mind the station. Let's get back to the Rectory.
