Emma was immediately pulled into the kiss. Not only did he ignite her physically, but

he overwhelmed her emotionally. He was the honorable sexy hero of her dreams, and

she responded with such a strong yearning, her heart ached.

If only he could be alive. He tugged her bottom lip into his mouth and suckled. She

moaned as the tug shimmered down to her belly, then lower. His erection pressed

against her hip. Good heavens, wasn’t this alive enough for her?

But why couldn’t he be human like her? He trailed kisses across her cheek. His husky

groan tickled her ear before he nibbled more kisses down her neck. His hand covered

her breast and gently squeezed. She gasped in response. Wasn’t this human enough?

Maybe he was technically dead during the day, but oh, imagine the nights she could

have with this man.

But you know it can’t last. Dammit, was she going to argue with herself all night? Why

couldn’t she just enjoy this? She no longer feared he was going to bite her, so what was

the problem? You’re afraid you’re falling in love.

No, she could never allow herself to love him. But she couldn’t stop her body from

responding. The minute he circled her nipple with his thumb, it hardened.

“Oh, the hell with it,” she muttered.

“Hmm?” He pulled back to look at her.

His eyes were glowing hotly. Instead of frightening her, they excited her.

She skimmed her hands around the back of his neck and threaded her fingers into his

long, soft hair. “Kiss me.”

This time, there was no inner argument. She held him close and kissed him with a

hunger that matched his own. Their mouths opened. His tongue invaded. She welcomed

it, suckling his tongue and stroking it with her own.

He pulled her close so their chests were pressed against each other. His hands slipped

under her shirt and up her back. The touch of his fingers against her bare skin was

whisper-soft, yet shocked her with its raw power. She explored his mouth and tasted a

metallic flavor. Blood.

She drew back. She swallowed and tasted once again the blood from his last meal.

Shouldn’t she be horrified?

He gave her a quizzical look while his hands examined the back of her bra. “Where are

the bloody hooks? Ye puir lass, were ye born into this contraption?”

A small laugh escaped her, and with it, her heart cracked open and all her yearning

broke free. This man wasn’t horrifying, he was beautiful. Tears sprang to her eyes.

“It opens in the front.” She pressed a hand to her chest. “Here. Over my heart.”

He studied her face. The red heat in his eyes faded to a warm glow that glimmered

around his green irises.

Christmas eyes. If only she could believe in miracles, that there could be a future

between them. “This can never work.”

He took her hand that guarded her heart and kissed each finger. “I’ve been told that all

things are possible with love.”

Was he saying he loved her? Or was he merely seducing her? A tear rolled down her

cheek. God help her, the way she felt, seduction was very possible.

“Shh.” He wiped her tear with his thumb, then kissed her damp cheek.
