Chapter 12

I’d never been physically assaulted before, but I braced myself for his fury anyway. Some part of me expected the intense, massive man to hit me back, even harder than I’d hit him.

Instead, he blinked at me.

And then blinked again.

He shook his head, hard, and rubbed roughly at his eyes.

There was a red spot similar to the shape of my hand on his face, and I resisted the urge to reach up and rub at it, to make sure he was okay. I had feelings for the guy, despite his weird little crazy moment that had just happened. We seemed to have a lot of those.

I held my hand back, though, just in case he was hit with another crazy streak.

“What the hell was that?” I asked him, trying to sound angry. Honestly, I failed at the anger thing. It really didn’t piss me off that he wanted to eat me out so damn badly.

When he dragged his hand away from his eyes, the glow was gone, which was a relief.

“You were glowing, but you weren’t Torch,” I tossed back, still waiting for an answer. “What happened?”

“I’m sorry.” He rubbed at his face again, his nostrils flaring in frustration. “I thought I’d be able to control it.”

“To control what?”

“The mating instincts you despise so much.” His voice took on a bit of an edge at that.

“What do you mean? You said the instincts made you more attracted to me—not that they’d make your eyes glow.”

“There are many instincts. Until we’ve traded vows and you’re permanently mine, one of mine will push me to claim you in every way there is, as quickly as possible. The possessiveness is woven into my magic—which as you know, is woven into me.” His explanation was a growl that I didn’t think I could ever get enough of.

The growl, that is.

The instincts, I was still having a hard time approving of.

“So you only want to tongue me because your instincts are pushing you to?” I asked, my voice coming out sounding a bit higher-pitched than I wanted it to. Shit, I sounded insanely shrill, which obviously wasn’t my goal. I didn’t want to scare the bastard away, even if he was only a few more instincts away from scaring me off.

“That’s not really—” he began, but was cut off by Harper calling out,

“I’m coming back into the area. Please make sure all of your naked bits have been covered.”

“If only these weird-ass dresses were good for naked-bit covering,” I called back.

“Valid point. Is it safe?” she hollered.

I didn’t bother trying to escape Tariq’s arms, knowing he would just hold me tighter, so I turned around awkwardly in them so his erection found my butt cheeks and I could see Harper again. “As safe as it gets.”

Harper stepped out from behind the agave-bush, with glowing-eyed Storm and Dove following closely behind her. “Phew.” Her gaze flicked over both of us. “I was worried you’d be pregnant by the time you finally came looking for me.

I snorted.
