CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

He rode without consciously picking a path, cool night wind on his face, heart hammering with agitation, his soul thrumming with underlying ferocity. He wasn’t aware of what he needed to quiet the raw panic and prickly angst inside him until he saw the gates of Savoie’s mobster estate opening to let him pass.

He had no business being there. Not the way he was. Not when violence and desperation tore at him like combatants in a ring. But he couldn’t stay away.

Cale drew in her scent on a shaky breath, but instead of calming him, the heat of her wound him so tight his insides trembled. If she woke and saw him there, eyes black, the blood of the man he’d killed streaking his soul like war paint, would she shrink back in alarm or open welcoming arms? If smart, she’d scream as if confronted with a demon, because that’s what he’d become for Casper Lee.

Kendra made a soft sound, catching his heart like a barbed hook. Her hand stretched out, palm brushing over the empty sheet beside her. Her disappointed sigh echoed his anguish. Need, urgency, and lust raked savagely across his conscience, scoring like the claws that had earlier ripped flesh and sinew. Leaving wounds that pained just as fiercely.

He took a step toward the bed, hoping it was the need to comfort compelling him forward. Terrified it wasn’t. Then he couldn’t stop himself.

He eased up onto the foot of the bed, stalking silently on hands and knees toward that irresistible fragrance burning hot in his nose, searing his mind like madness. His fingertips slid under the hem of the shirt she wore. His shirt. Skimming over smooth, warm skin, pushing fabric up to bare sleek thighs, tempting bottom, and narrow waist.

She stirred, instinctively arching so his hands could scoop beneath her. Lifting her hips as she murmured sleepily, “Cale?”

Darkness slashed him. Who the hell else would it be?

“Shh, baby.” His voice sounded like ground glass. “Don’t turn around. Just close your eyes. Close your eyes.” So she wouldn’t see the madness in his own.

Trustingly, she obeyed, unaware of what crouched over her.

She shivered as his lips scorched down the curve of her back, moaned expectantly as palms pushed her knees wide, tore at the sheets as he ravished vulnerable pink flesh with mouth, tongue, and teeth until she bit her lip to silence her cries.

As the first spasms spiked through her, avid mouth became hard thrusts, banging into her with ferocious strength until both found explosive release. But before Kendra could catch her breath, Cale pulled out, saying with the same abruptness, “I gotta go.”

“What?” Now fully awake and aware, Kendra twisted, unable to see his face clearly in the darkness. Overcoming her shock that he was actually zipping up, that he hadn’t even taken off his coat, she quickly rolled and reached for him, catching him about the neck, delaying him with a surprisingly strong grip.“Stay.”

“Baby, I can’t.” His voice snagged, broke. “I can’t be here.
