Chapter 21

It was pointless arguing with Beckham about it.

He would never see her point about his past and she would never see his. She would wait for him to tell her. She doubted she could coax it out of him sooner than that anyway. She wished he could realize that she accepted him for exactly who he was. She was already aware that he done some crazy stuff before joining the rebellion. It couldn’t be that bad. She hoped.

They stayed at the rooftop garden until Reyna could no longer feel her fingers or toes. Then Beckham insisted he return her to her room.

“So,” she said, when they finally got back, “do you have the rest of the night off?”

“A gentleman simply kisses his date good-night on the first date.”

“It’s probably a good thing that you are not a gentleman, then, isn’t it?” she teased, drawing him away from the doorway.

“It seems to be your favorite quality about me.”

“Oh no, I like the brooding, silent, self-loathing the best.”

“Perfect match for your never-ending speeches and vibrant optimism.”

“I’d say that I’m leaning more toward realism lately.”

She stripped out of the heavy jacket, gloves, scarf, hat, and thick socks, tossing them all haphazardly around her room. She was halfway pulling the giant sweater over her head when she felt Beckham’s hands on her waist. They slipped under the material of her black T-shirt and caressed her stomach. She dropped the sweater to the ground, forgotten.

“Fuck,” he growled low.

“I missed you.”

“Every day that you were gone, I was out of my mind.”

“Me too,” she whispered.

“I would have burned the city down to get to you.”

“I worried you wouldn’t.”

“It killed me not to be here when you got back. To not be here doing this.” He dropped his mouth onto hers and the kiss seared through her. “Cover be damned. Visage be damned. I wanted you and then when I finally had you, I fucked it up again.”

“Shhh,” she said, pressing a finger to his lips. “It doesn’t matter. You have me now.”

And he relented, placing a kiss on her finger. Then latching a hand around her wrist, he directed the pad of her finger into his mouth. His tongue caressed her and then gently nipped at her. He repeated this on each finger before turning her palm up and pressing a kiss into her wrist.

“Your heart rate has elevated, Little One.”

“Uh-huh,” she said desperately.

His nose connected with her wrist and he dragged it up the length of her arm. Her entire body tingled at each touch. When he reached her shoulder, he ripped the material aside and his lips touched her skin, kissing across her collarbone and up to her neck. She tilted her head for better access and felt as if she were about to float away.

The last time they had been in this position he had bitten her. And now her body was primed and waiting for that moment once again. The kisses weren’t enough. She could feel the sharp edges of his fangs and tensed as if to prepare herself.
