Chapter Nine

I looked away from him, closed my eyes. Then I made myself look at him. I owed him that much, at least. He’d spent the past three hundred years thinking he had frightened me into running. He deserved the truth now. He’d deserved it long before now.

“I ran for my own reasons, Michael. Not because of any empty threat you made.” I sighed and reached up, tracing the line of his lower lip. “What happened to me was my own fault, not yours.”

Turning from him, I reached for the door. I needed to get out of here. I needed to be away from him…before I did something dreadfully stupid. Like reach for him. Or beg him for the promises I’d wanted from him three hundred years ago.

Just before I would have slid the door open, a hand came up and pressed against it. I could feel him at my back, his strength, his solid warmth. His mouth brushed over my shoulder, nuzzled me just behind my ear. I shuddered and held still, hardly able to breathe.

“I know you still want me,” he whispered as he slid a hand around my waist, flattened it against my belly. He eased my body back against his and I groaned as the length of his cock nestled against my bottom. “I can feel it…smell it…taste it.”

His tongue stroked along the curve of my ear, sending little shivers down my spine. “I knew you still wanted me when we first saw each other, just the other night. It’s been three hundred years, but I’ve never forgotten that look in your eyes,” he said quietly. His hand rubbed over my belly in slow, ever-widening circles. Soon, the heel of his hand teased the curls between my thighs. “I knew you still wanted me and imagined you hated yourself for it. And now you tell me you still love me. Do you have any idea what that does to me?”

I let my head fall back against his shoulder. He moved against me and my breath caught in my throat. “Actually, I have a pretty good idea.”

He turned me in his arms, crowding me up against the cool glass of the door. He laid a hand on my chest, just a little above the slope of my breast. His thumb rested in the hollow of my throat, his fingers curling around the back of my neck. I felt my pulse jump under his touch and I caught my lower lip between my teeth as I lifted my eyes to his.

“You can’t know,” he whispered, shaking his head. “You can’t possibly know…it’s like I’m dying inside—like you’ve completed everything I am, and now I can die happy. And yet it’s like I’ve been dead, and only now do I live, like you’ve brought life back inside me. It’s…” His voice trailed off and he dipped his head, rested his brow against mine.

“It’s everything,” I said quietly.

Now his lashes lifted, revealing a turbulent, emerald green gaze. “Everything. How can
