Chapter Four

No one wearing a reindeer gets a vote

Exhaling, Cassie tried to soak in everything that had happened. She stood, feeling more exposed than she liked in the barely-there attire Mimi had dressed her in. Try as she might, Cassie couldn’t stop looking in Cambridge’s direction. His presence calmed her, made her feel safe. That was absurd. The man could kill her before she could so much as blink if he got the notion.

Everyone in the room could.

She gulped, her mouth suddenly very dry but not dry enough to want anything to do with the cocoa Mimi had been pushing. It had been sludge in a mug.

Cambridge narrowed his incredibly sexy eyes. “Cassie, you are safe here.”

She tipped her head. “I thought you said you couldn’t read my mind.”

“I cannot.”

She watched him for any sign he was lying. None came. All that did arrive was the burning need to make contact with him again. Unable to stop herself, she reached out, her hand going for his. In a flash he was to her, his long, cool fingers wrapping around her hot hand. He tugged gently on her and she fell against his powerful frame willingly.

“I vote we leave them be so they can get their groove on,” said Finn, clicking his tongue as he did.

Cassie laughed softly and glanced at him. “No one wearing a reindeer gets a vote.” She nodded to his sweater.

Cambridge lost it, laughing low and deep, the sound reverberating through her. She pressed herself tighter to him, excitement rushing over her body. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and rocked their bodies in place, his gaze going to the people in the doorway to the room. “Leave us.”

Mimi smiled.

Finn licked his lower lip. “Gettin’ his groove on.”

With a snort, Mimi pushed Finn through the door, leaving Cassie alone with Cambridge. She eyed him. “Are you sure you’re not hurt?”

He grinned. “I’m sure.”

She put her palm to his chest and heat began to build in her. She gasped. “Why does this keep happening around you?”

“If I told you, you would not believe me. You’d deny it or think me lying.”

“Try me.”

He touched her cheek with his free hand. “You know of mates, yes?”

She nodded. She’d heard of them. As she stared up at his full lips, she waited for him to continue with the explanation. It wasn’t until she noticed he was shaking that she met his gaze once more.

“Cambridge?”

“I want to kiss you.”

Boldly, she remained in place. “So do it.”

His lips captured hers, tongue darting into her mouth, and she moaned against the welcome intrusion. He plowed a hand through her hair, gripping it to just this side of too painful. The kiss grew more intense, more passion-packed, and Cassie thought for a moment she might try to scale the man just to get closer to him.

Her hips seemed to have a mind of their own, gyrating against air, wanting to grind against the undead stud standing before her. In all her life, she’d never behaved this way with anyone.
