Jett smiled. “Nevertheless, you are an Elemental, and I am a fae lord. You were created for me. How can you deny the connection we have? My brothers claim that they feel you as well, but I do not believe them.” He came closer, his nearness halting my retreat. He knelt before me. His hand traveled to my right thigh. A rough finger traced over my hip bone.

A jolt of power surged through my body. Try as I might, I couldn’t stifle my gasp. I wanted to step back, but my legs were locked where they were.

He pulled the towel to the floor. His dark hand hovered above my skin. He lifted my suit, exposing my hip. “Where is it?” His words were harsh. His dark, fathomless gaze met mine. He tilted his head, surveying me again. “You feel different than any other Elemental I have encountered. Have you found magic to conceal your mark?”

Was there such a thing? “I d-don’t have one.” It was all I could do to get the words out. “I w-want you to leave me alone.”

He brushed his calloused thumb across my flesh again. “I cannot give you what you ask. You feel me at the base of where you live, Rayla.”

My body waited for his command. I tried to scream, but nothing came out. I needed a new name.

He wrapped his arms around me. Every cell in me vibrated at his nearness. With gentle fingers, he placed a hand at my nape. I was helpless as his lips came nearer. My body was not my own. My mouth parted with a sigh.

With all the will I owned, I rolled away from him. I leapt to my feet and ran for the locker room. His big body blocked the doorway moments before I reached it. Trying not to slip, I ran toward the other door.

I looked back, expecting to see him chasing me. When I turned around, his arms clamped around me as I crashed into him. The force should have thrown us both to the cold cement, but my body reverberated from the impact of our collision.

I fought him, kicking at his shins, dragging my nails across his skin, wriggling myself in every direction I could. His grip never wavered.

After a few moments, I finally got up enough courage to look at him. He seemed neither angry nor affected in any way by my actions. How was I supposed to get out of this one? I sent a silent plea heavenward.

He was eying me suspiciously. “How did you do that?” The sound of his voice made my knees week.

I tried not to lean into him for support, but it was hard. “What?”

“You ran,” he said, matter-of-factly.

I frowned. “So?”

He raised a brow. “You should not have been able to.”

Could these guys get any cockier? “Why not?”

He laughed, deep and rich. A shiver sped up my spine. Something about his voice affected me deeply. I didn’t want it to.

“I think I will reserve that explanation for later.
