Chapter 3

Standing in the shadows, he watched as Lillian stretched her arms over her head and wandered through the courtyard. She stopped at the fountain and arched her back, working out the kinks in her muscles. Her small breasts pointed up as if in invitation, and it was one he wanted to accept.

She looked at the starry sky and let out a contented sigh. “That’s got to be the most gorgeous sight that I’ve ever seen.”

“You took the words right out of my mouth,” Boris said.

Startled, she spun around and let out a nervous laugh. “Boris, I didn’t see you there.”

“So I see.”

He tossed the dish towel onto a stack of crates outside the door and moved toward her. Her eyes widened, and her energy signature, which was surprisingly thick for a human, hummed with the unmistakable pulse of lust.

“Have you settled into your apartment? Is there anything else that I can get for you?” He took another step. “Anything that you want?”

As he moved toward her, he noted the way the light of the full moon picked up the pale blonde highlights in her tousled hair and gave her an angelic glow. Her large eyes held his as he closed the distance between them, and he sensed her heartbeat quickening as he invaded her space.

“No,” she whispered. Her tongue darted out nervously, moistening her lower lip. “I’ve been on the road for a while, so I’m a little horny—I mean lonely,” she blurted. Her face turned beet red, and she smacked both hands over her eyes. “Holy shit. I can’t believe I just said that.”

Boris suppressed a grin at her slip of the tongue. He took her hands in his and dragged them to his chest, pulling her small frame up against his far larger one.

“I’m a bit of both, myself,” he murmured, but she kept her eyes squeezed shut and refused to look at him.

Lillian, he whispered her name tenderly along the edges of her mind. Please, don’t be embarrassed.

Her body froze, and her energy signature fired in rapid pulses, reflecting her fear and confusion. His heart broke for her. He knew she probably thought that she was going crazy, but given Hayden’s visit earlier and the Purist’s aggressive behavior, he didn’t have the luxury of a lengthy courtship.

Now that she was here, the only way to keep her safe was to make her understand, and in order to do that, he’d have to show her everything.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she stared at him from beneath a fan of dark blonde lashes. “Am I crazy, or did you just…?” She trailed off, unable or unwilling to say it.

You aren’t crazy. He touched her mind with his, and to his great delight, a wide grin cracked her oval face. He brushed his thumb along her jawline, and his stomach clenched with need as she pressed her slim body against him. “You are, however, spectacularly beautiful.”

On a silent prayer, he allowed his eyes to shift into the glowing yellow eyes of his clan as he held her in his grasp.
