Chapter Ten

I moved down the hallway with conscious care, feeling tense, overripe, as if all it would take would be the brush of another's skin against mine to set me alight. Need pulsed in me like a living thing, and my clothes were a sudden unwanted, unbearable abrasion. With each step, fabric brushed my erect nipples, pressed against my swollen secret lips. I was hungry to be filled. Aching to be taken.

I rounded a corner. From the darkness, a shadow detached itself and stepped forward. There'd been no heartbeat to warn me. No breath to hear. I halted.

"Mona Lisa." It was Halcyon, my golden-skinned Demon Prince. His eyes were the color of my favorite weakness, chocolate. I'd forgotten that chocolate could melt, that it could become hot and steamy, liquid with desire. That it could boil over with want. He held out one elegant hand to me and that inviting gesture spoke more clearly than words for him. I know you need, I know you want. Let me fill you, let me please you. Let me love you.

For one weak moment, I was tempted. His utter need called out to me, it always had. But never had it drawn me more than now, when my body wanted him so. When filling his need would quench the ache within mine as well. So unbearably tempted…

But somehow I shook my head. "I'm sorry, I can't."

Never had I seen his eyes swirl with so much emotion. "Will there ever be a time when you think you can?" he asked softly.

"Halcyon," I said gently, trembling with the constraint I forced upon my willful body, "you cannot wait, hoping for that."

"Then why did you wish me to stay?"

Good question, when before I had asked him to stay away. No wonder he was confused. I was giving him mixed messages. I struggled to find the right words to express myself. But, dear God in heaven, it was so hard to do that when my body was literally throbbing in weeping need.

Words spilled out: Truth. "I'm selfish. I want to keep your friendship. You are very special and dear to me, Halcyon."

"More than a friend, but less than a lover."

"Yes." Then more softly, "I want us to be your family."

He looked at me, so still and quiet, though his eyes swirled with emotion. "You have a most generous heart."

"I am sorry I cannot offer you more." And I truly was.

"So am I." He looked at me with those chocolate eyes as I carefully eased past him, taking care that our bodies did not touch.

I took one shaky step away from him, then another.

"We both know I could just take you," he said quietly. "And that you would enjoy it."

"I know." And it wasn't just his superior strength. His mental powers were even greater. He had the ability to cloud my mind and lure me with the promised pleasure of his flesh. With a simple flexing of will, he could become so lushly sensual, making one crave for him.
