River

River leapt with a speed he did not think himself capable of, slamming Leralynn’s hand against the wall. The knife clattered harmlessly to the floor. His side burned, the wound a distant pulse against the gravity of what had almost happened.

Kicking away the knife, River gripped Lera’s waist and hoisted her up against the stone, bringing their faces level. Her sweet scent washed over him, tinted with the harsh metallic shimmer of fight and fear.

Lera’s chest heaved, beads of sweat glimmering at her temples as she struggled to get to the knife despite the futility of the effort. One deep look at the desperation in her chocolate eyes, and River knew that she’d not been toying with him. She had been trying to plunge the knife into her own flesh, though it scared her spitless. A desperate last-chance move toward an end River could not begin to guess. And it drove him insane.

Leralynn’s lilac scent wrapped around River as his lips pulled back into an infuriated snarl that felt more animal than human. His breath came in short, shallow bursts that grew more desperate the longer he looked at her. Really, really looked.

The ears, he saw those first. Delicate elongated points that made River hard from a single glance. Leralynn’s face was her own, yet somehow even more beautiful, the bones slightly elongated, sculpted into ethereal perfection, the skin satin smooth, almost pearlescent. The girl’s hair had strayed from her braid and cascaded over her bare shoulders in locks of thick auburn that River’s fingers longed to bury themselves in. Leralynn’s strapless dress had slid down in the tussle, showing the tops of lush breasts peeking above the red silk.

And then there was something else, a shimmer of power that River felt rather than saw. Just as he felt a power inside himself rouse to it in response. Waking his body to fuller sensations. To strength. To need.

River inhaled again, the girl’s lilac scent making the blood in his veins rise to a simmer. Especially when he could tell that the female was drinking him in as well, her gaze resting so intensely on his features that, despite what he’d just done, he knew she wasn’t giving up on him. “Why don’t you hate me?” he demanded.

“Because I love you,” Leralynn whispered.

River’s heart clapped like thunder, dizziness threatening the edges of his vision. Watching those words cross her perfect fae lips was a surreal kind of torture, hardening every muscle in his body.

Her nostrils flared delicately as if she could smell the bead of moisture River knew was at the end of his engorged cock—the bloody thing having a mind of its own. Her lips parted, the scent of her own reciprocal arousal flaring even as River held her against the wall. Which only made his cock pulse harder, drowning out the pain in his side.

“River—” Leralynn’s musical voice was husky, her hands wrapping around his neck.

“Quiet.” The order came in a snarl that echoed the chaos the girl was wreaking inside him.
