Chapter 13

The door slammed shut, and Black Rock pushed me against it, kissing me. Hooking his hands under my legs, he lifted me up, pinning me under muscle and the heat of his caress. His mouth left mine and traced a line of kisses along my jaw.

What are you doing, Lila?

I’d come here to demand an explanation for what he’d done, and instead...

I squirmed, both enjoying his attention and fighting my own weakness. Black Rock’s lips dipped to my neck, igniting something savage within me. I pushed him away, got free of his hold, and landed on my feet.

He stood there, panting, and staring down at me, a strange light in his eyes that made him feel more dragon than man.

Possessed by instincts I didn’t know I had, I pushed him until the back of his legs hit one of his leather chairs, and he fell into it.

Before I knew what I was doing, I was on top of him, kissing him again, inhaling his freshly-showered scent, and losing myself in the pyre our bodies seemed to create.

His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. I pushed him away again as if to tell him I was in control, not him. He stopped pulling and waited. His expression seemed to say I’ll do what you want, Lila. There was something vulnerable about the look in his eyes, as if he’d never surrendered himself to anyone before.

His gaze fell to my mouth, my neck, the curve of my breasts, and it was like fire traveling down my skin. Guided by a mixture of anger and desire, I kissed him again. Everything about the way we moved against each other was like a war, a wild battle that couldn’t end well.

I withdrew, breathless.

He threw his head back, his golden gaze connecting with mine. He looked utterly intoxicated, more so than the way I felt.

Winning over my own desire, I jumped to my feet.

He tried to capture my hand, but I pulled it back. “Lila…”

“No, I just can’t. This is… not right.” I turned my back on him and took a moment to calm myself, to drown the want that coursed through my veins like wildfire. When I was back in control, I got back on track. I’d come here for a reason, and I couldn’t let the desire between us blind me.

“When you said it would be dangerous,” I said, measuring my words and keeping my breaths in check, “you never mentioned you’d abandon us to our fate. We couldn’t even shift to escape.”

I fought to keep my anger in check. This thing with Black Rock was heat and passion, and anger seemed to be its fuel, and I had no intention of ending up on his lap again. At least not until I got something better than “sorry.”

Black Rock shook his head, blinking, eyes roving all around as if he’d forgotten where he was. After a long moment, he stood and paced in front of the fireplace. Pressing both hands against his face, he scrubbed up and down, then, finally, turned to me.
