Chapter Twelve

SHE LOVED BEING ALONE with Pax.

They walked through the forest, arm in arm. He showed her the den that belonged to Heather, Brax, and Jett, the infamous artists. Explained that they had twin toddlers. Showed her all the magnificent pieces created from wood.

“I’m sorry,” he said, as they sat on a bench to rest her feet. “Sorry I was jealous after pushing you away.”

“You can’t push me away, Pax,” she said. “I won’t let you. Not now that I know how you feel about me.”

His dark-winged brows shot up. “How do I feel about you?”

“I’ve been with every one of your aspects. I know your aspects are part of you—the same basic instincts and needs. You can’t hide your lust from me. You can’t hide the happiness. You can’t hide the envy.”

“I can’t hide the jealousy,” he said flatly.

“Let’s just take it one step at a time, okay? I’ll be me, you’ll be you, and we’ll do whatever pleases us. Life’s too short to worry about whether I really want you or someone else, or if I’ll ever want to be a mated human, or anything but this moment.”

“And what do you want in this moment?” he asked her.

She studied him. His full lower lip. His orange-amber eyes lined with thick, dark lashes. His aquamarine skin. The bulky muscles that he thought a white lab coat covered.

The vulnerability strewn across his face.

“I already have what I want. I want time with you. Just you. But tell me what you want. One thing. Most of all in this world.”

“I want you to kiss me. The way I’ve seen you kiss each one of the others. Like it’s natural. Like it’s comfortable. Like it’s...love.”

“Oh, Pax,” she sighed. “I’ve wanted that since the day you stepped out of the gates when I had a bomb strapped to my chest.”

He reached out and cupped the base of her head, his thumb reaching out to stroke her jaw. He seemed mesmerized with her lips, which made her nervous enough to wet them with the tip of her tongue.

He groaned. “Don’t do that. I don’t have a lot of control.”

“I can’t help it. I’ve wanted to kiss you for so very long.”

His thumb left her jaw to trace her lower lip. “I love that I can finally feel you. My skin against yours.”

“Even if it’s only from the neck up?”

“One step at a time, remember?”

His thumb caressed her swollen lip as blistering desire seared straight through her. This was Pax—not anyone else. Pax—making his move. Sultry, sexy, magnetic Pax.

His mouth came crashing down on hers, and her arms wrapped around his neck as if she’d never let him go. His lips were soft yet firm as they pressed onto hers, and then they both opened at the same time.

His tongue wickedly stroked hers. His taste made her melt a little inside. Calm, nerdy Pax was anything but. Pax was more of a volcano—hot, molten, explosive.

And he was kissing her.

It was stunned surprise—at first. The instant need.
