Chapter Five

It took Liz a split second to realize what she’d done—and what the consequences could be.

She sprang up and ran in front of Jack, standing facing him with her back to the door. He stared at her in disbelief. “What do you think you’re doing? Do you want me to hurt you? What you said back there—it’s what we call an exit line. So get the hell out of my way before I go right through you.”

She couldn’t let him leave. The knowledge that he was about two seconds away from doing just that made her words tumble over each other. “We have to finish the ritual. We have to! I’m sorry I said what I did. Neither of us wants to do this but we have to, Jack! It’s our best chance to kill the Kraken!”

Cold rage was in his eyes. “I’d rather let the Kraken slaughter this entire city than stay here with you one more second.”

She winced. “Okay, I deserve that. I’ll say I’m sorry again if you want but please, Jack, you can’t leave!”

“Was it a lie?”

She stared at him. “What?”

He stepped closer to her. “Was it a lie?”

“I...”

“You said you were sorry. Why should you be sorry if it was the truth? Do you hate me or don’t you?”

She laughed a little shakily. “It’s not the kind of thing you say to someone you’re about to have sex with. I shouldn’t have said it. Not then, anyway.”

His eyes were boring into hers. “I see. So you’re sorry because it was bad manners, not because it was a lie?”

“Jack, I don’t know what you want me to say. We’ve always hated each other. Haven’t we? But we have to go through with this. We have to.”

He came even closer, only inches away now, and she wanted to get away, to run, except that she was the one keeping him here.

“I’ll stay on one condition,” he said.

Her heart thumped against her ribs. “What?”

“We’ll do the ritual, but on my terms.”

She wished he wasn’t so tall. It gave him an unfair advantage, being able to tower over her like this. It was hard to breathe, hard to—

“What do you mean, your terms?”

“Do you want to know a secret?”

Her blood was rushing in her ears. She couldn’t speak.

He slid an arm around her waist and pulled her hard against him. She gasped, as shocked as if she’d stepped into icy water. She felt his erection, she felt his strength, and for a second her own power seemed to desert her. He bent his head close to hers. “I want you,” he whispered.

Her face flamed, like a teenager’s.

“I’ve wanted you since the first time I saw you,” he went on, still whispering, but now his cool lips were on her throat, at her pulse point, against her collar bone.

She opened her mouth but no words came out. Her eyes closed and her head went back, and he was kissing his way back up her throat, to her ear, and then he was whispering to her again.
