Chapter 28

I pulled back and looked up at Salvatore. His eyes locked with mine as his aura swirled with red.

Before I realized what I was doing, the front of his shirt was balled in my fists and I pulled him down to my mouth.

Strong arms lifted me up on the desk and he pressed between my legs in the next instant, holding my hips against him. I clawed at the front of his shirt, desperate for more and then wrapped my arms around his neck.

A cough sounded from behind him and my werewolf froze, growling. I pulled back, leaned over to see behind him and grinned.

Tobias was standing there with his lips twitching. "Apologies for the interruption, Angela. We're gathering in the training room for sparring if you'd like to join us. Liam wants to show you a few things."

"Thank you, Tobias," I said and he disappeared from the doorway. I looked back up at Salvatore. His eyes were yellowed and he was clenching his jaw. My hands reached up and touched his face.

He leaned his forehead against mine and breathed in. "It's taking every ounce of control I have left to keep from taking you right here and right now."

Heat washed over me at his words, which were barely over a whisper. As appealing as that sounded, Liam wouldn't have sent Tobias with the invitation unless it was important. "Will sparring help you calm down?"

"Maybe."

"Are you willing to try so Liam can play teacher?"

He growled in response.

"How about this? I'll make you a deal. Give it a try. If it fails, you can have your way with me the rest of the night. And you can do—" I kissed him lightly "—whatever—" another kiss "—you want." I kissed him a little harder, biting his lower lip for emphasis.

He groaned and his arms stiffened around me. "Do that again and we won't be going anywhere."

I grinned at him. "I know," I said and waited for him to calm, trailing my nail absently down the middle of his chest.

Shivering, he caught my hand and pulled it up to his nose, closing his eyes. Then he inhaled.

My other hand reached up and I rested my fingers on the side of his neck and caressed his cheek with my thumb. His eyes opened and locked with mine. "Just breathe, Salvatore. You'll be fine. I'm not going anywhere."

He pulled me into a fierce hug and buried his nose into my neck, breathing me in again.

I understood then why his control was still so thin.

After the time we spent in the suite, I thought he felt better. But his reaction to my words told me that wasn't the case.

Salvatore was a dominant wolf, and I was his mate. It went against his nature to let me face danger without him.

The wraiths hurt me, and they could have done much worse if it wasn't for my instincts. But I thought what came after was what really bothered him.

Nicholas, someone he once thought was a friend, was hired by the town council to kill me.
