JAX

Another unplanned, uninvited smile stretched across my lips. I turned on my hip to face her, shocked to find she was already facing me, her eyes glittering, her body surrounded by the ethereal white flowers.

“You’re not talking to the jambalaya again, are you?” I teased.

“Not this time. And granola bars and MREs don’t inspire the same level of affection.”

“I see,” I said, hoping like hell she couldn’t hear my heart slamming against my ribs. “Is this a what-happens-in-Midnight-stays-in-Midnight thing?”

“It could be.”

Sure, it could be. Just a little fun, right? No harm, no foul. A lot of women believed they could have that with me.

On some level, I got it. The scars, the mystery of the missing eye, the whole bad-boy-who-goes-good-for-you fantasy. And if Saint was any indication, I fit the profile; Haley had a thing for walking disasters.

But while I’d promised him I’d take care of her—and something about the woman brought out my protective instincts like nothing else ever had—that didn’t change who I was at the core.

A demon. A killer. A monster.

Being in this place only served to remind me of that.

I didn’t know what Haley saw when she looked at me the way she was looking at me now, but it wasn’t the truth.

“As tempting as your offer sounds…” I shook my head and flipped onto my back, swallowing my disappointment. “You don’t want me to kiss you, angel. Trust me on that.”

“I didn’t say anything about you kissing me. I said I wanted to kiss you.”

“You want your doom.”

“Maybe I do,” she whispered, shifting closer and sweeping her fingers through my hair.

Her touch was electric, and it made me shiver.

Fuck.

I was already fucking hard.

“Jax,” she whispered, her soft breath tickling my cheek, just below the eye patch.

And that was it.

I rolled on top of her, propping myself up to keep from crushing her completely. Her body was warm and soft in a hundred different ways—a hundred ways I hadn’t felt in so long, I barely remembered how good it could be.

What are you doing to me, angel?

“What’s this new game?” she teased, wriggling beneath me. “You’ve got me at a disadvantage here, but I think I’m okay with it.”

“No more games,” I said. Then, staring at her lush mouth, I whispered, “Tell me what you really want from me, angel. You sure it’s just the kiss of doom?”

“You think you can give me what I want, demon?” she teased, her nipples hardening beneath me.

“Oh, I know I can give it to you. But be warned—you might not like it once you’ve got it.”

She slid her hands behind my neck. Then, in a hot whisper against my mouth, “Why don’t you let me be the judge of that?”

Fuck me. I’m done.

My resistance shattered, along with my instinct to protect her from my demon side, and any remaining shreds of loyalty I had for Saint.

I crashed into her lush mouth, stealing the offered kiss before she could change her mind.

The taste of her… It shot through me like a spark, igniting a fire inside that threatened to consume us both.
