Chapter 21

Lili

We are aswang.

When I woke from the dream sometime after midnight, I was shaking. I had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room, watching television.

At some point, I had made my way back to my own bed.

I shoved that thought down hard and pulled clothes out of the closet. Almost without thinking, I made my way to my car and drove to Scott’s hotel, knocking on his door.

Although he was in his shirtsleeves, he hadn’t even taken off his tie yet.

I knew where he had been.

We know.

I couldn’t think about that.

Laughter chittered in the back of my brain.

I didn’t want to think at all.

This time I didn’t wait for Scott to make the first move. As soon as he shut the door behind me, I stood up on my toes and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him down to kiss me. Pressing my lips against his, hard, I pushed against him until he bumped into the wall at his back. Then I opened my mouth under his, waiting for him to sweep his tongue across mine. When he did, I sucked at his mouth, enough to increase the pressure between us.

Within moments, I could feel his erection pressing against my stomach, and I twisted, wriggling against him until he groaned deep in his throat. Scott slid his hands down my back, his touch light until he reached the back of my thighs. At that point, he swept me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

On some level, I knew I was trying to forget what was going on in my city. In my own body. The irony of choosing another investigator on the case as my release mechanism didn’t escape me. Besides, I thought this connection between us, whatever else it might be, could possibly turn into something more.

For right now, though, I wanted the oblivion that physical release could bring me. I knew the science behind desire—all too often, I couldn’t keep from thinking about it even in the middle of sex—but in this moment, the only thing I could consider was the feel of his body against mine, the pressure of his weight over me as he lowered me to the bed.

And for a long, blissful time, I forgot.
