CHAPTER 19

Suki wanted Tegan closer. The sight of him battling the incubi for her and the fact he had come rushing to her rescue had roused a fierce need inside her, one she was barely keeping a lid on as she sat with him in his home.

Alone.

She was deeply aware of that as she studied the oil painting, shivering under the intensity of Tegan’s gaze as it devoured her. Warmth spilled through her, but chills washed it away whenever his eyes landed on her shoulder. It throbbed, a constant reminder that she had been wounded.

It wasn’t the first time she had been cut or been in a fight, but it was the first time she had been bone-deep afraid, had locked up so tight she had only been able to watch as the dagger had come zooming at her. Her heart had almost stopped in that moment. She had been so convinced her life had been about to come to a horrible end.

Just when it had been getting good.

That realisation had struck her like a thunderbolt, a million volts that had poured through her and left her reeling when she had survived.

Her eyes lowered to meet Tegan’s, their dark depths drawing her deep under his spell.

The lessons she’d had as a youth had been a lie.

It was possible for a succubus to love.

It had to be.

Because there was no other explanation for how she changed whenever she was around Tegan, filling with warmth and light whenever they were together, or how she ached whenever they were apart, filled with a need to see him again, to call him and hear his voice.

She had watched enough movies and enough couples in the real world. What she was experiencing with Tegan was what those people went through.

She was falling for him.

Was he falling for her?

He had come rushing to her rescue, had fought in her corner. No one had ever done that for her before. Not even her sisters. Did that mean he liked her? More than liked her?

A flush darkened his cheeks and he looked away, frowned at the fire and moved to it, sinking to his knees before the grate. She was unnerving him. It was strange to have such a power over such a strong male.

She tried to think of a subject other than his enormous wealth, because it was clear she had unsettled him by asking about it and about the house. He had mentioned a brother, one who was in the military by the sounds of things.

“So the Second Realm still has an army?” She smiled when he looked across his bare shoulder at her and tried not to melt into a puddle over the way his deltoids and biceps flexed as he curled his fingers around the fire iron.

His eyes were guarded again. What had his barriers coming up this time?

She wanted to poke, but let it go, because the ground beneath them still felt unsteady after what had happened at the cove, and she didn’t want to sour things between them.
