She gave him a wobbly smile. “I didn’t see that coming, Mace….”

“Neither did I.”

“I liked it, though.” She saw the dark confusion in his eyes. Why? The longer she probed his expression, the more she could feel his inner state. Before, he’d hidden himself and she couldn’t access his feelings.

Had that bright light she’d experienced melded them together in a new, energetic connection? Ana didn’t know. She was sure of how her lips had throbbed with the potent power of his mouth covering hers, dominating and hungry. Her gaze rested on that male mouth of his. “You’re a great kisser, Mace.” She chuckled, feeling giddy.

As Mace released Ana, his hands burned. He wanted her, dammit. In every possible, carnal manner a man could want a woman. But he couldn’t go there! And what the hell was that explosion of light that had fused them that way? Mace had a lot of trouble hiding his consternation. What could all of this possibly mean?

“Thanks. You’re not so bad at kissing yourself.” He tried to crook the corners of his mouth. That was such an understatement. And as he gazed like a pauper at the richness of Ana’s parted lips, he groaned internally. Mace had been considered the epitome of a Warrior for the Light. A guardian dedicated to protecting people against the coming darkness. And here, tonight, just now, he’d found he had feet of clay. Ana could be a spider just waiting for the right time to entrap him. She could know everything about him. As much as he wanted to surrender to this new connection, he couldn’t.

Lifting her hand, Ana whispered, “Thanks for everything Mace. Can we have dinner tomorrow night? Maybe I’ll have found out something more by then.” If she was still alive… Ana felt torn as she stood there, wanting so badly to tell Mace about the threat Victor presented. Yet she couldn’t see him believing such a story, no matter how open-minded he seemed.

“I’ll be here, Ana. Dinner sounds good. Same time and place?”

He watched as she pushed her dark hair across her shoulder. Just that one graceful movement made his body feel desperately raw and needy. What would it be like to have her hand gliding over his flesh like that? Before he got himself into trouble, Mace took a step back, lifted his hand and told Ana good-night.

“Yes, good night, Mace.” She gave him a brief smile and hurried into the hotel.

Turning on his heel, scowling, Mace thrust his hands into the pockets of his jeans. Dammit! He knew the legendary warning: if a person of the Light and a person of the Dark met in oneness, the outcome for dominance was never assured. And if the Dark won, the spirit of the warrior would be forever entrapped. In Mace’s mind, it was not a risk worth taking. He felt very unsure about how things were turning out. Ana had shape-shifted into a jaguar four times. How was that possible? Shuffling down the quiet, darkened street, he glumly headed back to his own hotel.
