“Leave it, Diana.” Cadan turned and took a step toward the door, desperate to get out of there before he did something he regretted, but she grabbed his arm and jerked him to a stop in front of her.

“No.” She glared up at him, her hands tightening their grip on his arm. “Tell me why you’ve lied, damn it. Tell me why you get close to me, kiss me, then stop and storm off. It’s because of what you know, isn’t it?”

She wanted to know the whole, horrible story? That she tempted him with every move she made, reminded him of all that he’d lost? Made him think that everything could be better with her, except that if he went for it, it would all crumble to dust around him with her death?

Nay. These things he would not tell her. But helpless to stop himself, he cupped the back of her head and drew her to him, so close that he could almost feel her. The scant inch of air between their bodies vibrated with tension. Her scent washed over him, arresting and familiar, and the feel of her, the heat of her, stole the caution from his mind and tore the words from his throat.

“You want to know why I’ve lied?”

She nodded, her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide. Desperation and fear glimmered in their depths.

“Because I want you, damn it. I care for you. I’ve never been able to stop, no’ for thousands of years. But I can never have you.”

Desperate and crazed, he pulled her to him and crushed his mouth to hers. He kissed her with the fierceness and desperation of a man who had everything to lose and knew that it was already gone.

When she threw her arms about his neck, he clutched her closer, sinking his hand into her hair and wrapping his arm about her waist.

Just a moment more.

Just a moment of this thing he could never have. This person. He thrust his tongue between her lips, desperate to imprint her taste upon his mind. She was sweet and soft beneath his lips, everything he’d longed for and more than he’d ever expected. More than he could have. Three times he’d failed to keep his distance. Three times, yet it would have to be enough. He’d have to make it enough.

He pulled away, leaving her flushed.

He couldn’t resist her.

It was ridiculous to have thought he could. Yet the proof of his weakness was still hot on his lips, beneath his hands. One more encounter like this, and he wouldn’t be able to stop. And she would remember her past.

He made up his mind. He’d call Warren, have another Mythean Guardian assigned to her.

He stepped back. “No more.” He shook his head, then turned to stride out of the room. “No more.”

But only he could hear the words.
