CHAPTER 16: KIAN

Amanda waited until Syssi's lids slid shut before turning to Kian. "She's out. So what's going on? And if this was all a trick to get me to come with you..."

Not deigning to respond, Kian only cast her an incredulous glare, then dipped his head to look at Syssi.

She was leaning against his bicep, her wild mane of hair covering half of her face and most of her upper body. Gently, he brushed it away from her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. Holding her carefully, he shifted so her cheek came to rest on his pec and wrapped his arm around her.

Syssi sighed contently but didn't wake. Tucked under his arm, her soft, small body fit perfectly against his large frame. It felt so damn good.

But Kian craved more.

In her sleep, she'd relaxed the death-hold she had on her purse, and her delicate hands were resting gracefully in her lap. Taking one small palm, he placed it on his thigh, savoring the added sensation. For now it would do...

Like hell...

Dipping his head to her hair, he closed his eyes and inhaled her fresh, sweet scent, he then inched down to sniff at the pale skin in the hollow between her neck and shoulder.

Divine... So inviting…

Not surprisingly, his fangs distended and begun throbbing with venom. Struggling against an overwhelming urge to sink them into the smooth, creamy column of her neck, he leashed the monster inside and pulled back.

With a wicked smirk, Amanda was eyeing him from Syssi's other side, no doubt debating between taking advantage of the opportunity to needle him some more and letting him enjoy the moment.

She kept quiet, but knowing his sister, observing his reaction to Syssi being exactly what she had predicted, she was basking in the success of her brilliant matchmaking.

Still, patience not being one of Amanda's virtues any more than it was his, a few moments later she asked again, ”Seriously now, what's going on?"

"Anandur called from where I left Brundar and him to guard the hallway leading to your lab. Doomers showed up, and they were about to fight them off, giving us time to get away. That's all I know for now... It was right outside your door: Ms. 'I'm in no danger’,” Kian bit out, glaring at her, his fury rising as the implications of what had just happened sank in.

"Because of your stubbornness, Anandur and Brundar are fighting for their lives." His tone turned into a snarl.

Throwing the accusation at her was unfair, but Kian was livid. If he had arrived just a few moments later, she would have been taken. Imagining what horrific things those monsters would have done to her felt like acid sliding down his throat and into his gut, burning his insides.

Amanda crossed her arms over her chest and shrugged, pretending she wasn't shaken. Except, she wasn't fooling Kian, not for a moment. He knew her too well. Amanda was just too proud to admit how distraught she really was.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed his tone to something a little more human-sounding than a growl.
