It took less than an hour of trying to fall asleep before Lidia knew she wouldn’t. Her arm hurt too much, even with a second dose of painkillers.

The other reason was in the small bedroom downstairs.

She never would have believed that she could fall so fast, and so hard, for a man she hardly knew—never mind a man who wasn’t human.

Then Harry had tumbled into her life—literally. She smiled at the memory of him, sprawled at her feet. He had been vulnerable, and so appealing because of it. From that first moment, she had started to fall.

It was time to stop denying. No matter what happened in the future, she wanted him now, in her life. He had already stolen her heart.

“Stay here, Max,” she muttered, scratching his ear. “I’m going downstairs.” He burrowed deeper into the pillow and started snoring. “I’ll take that as approval.”

Just to be sure he wouldn’t interrupt, she closed her bedroom door. Max wouldn’t be happy, but he had the bed to himself, plus food and water in the bathroom. He would survive a night by himself.

She made her way down the stairs, cradling her left arm. It might be a hindrance, but she wouldn’t let it stop her. Nerves zipped through her as she headed through the kitchen, and made her hand shake when she reached out to knock on the door. She cursed under her breath—and almost jumped a foot when the door opened.

“Lidia? Are you all right?”

She’d forgotten about his ability to feel her. “Yeah. I can’t sleep. Can I come in?”

He looked surprised, but recovered quickly, and stepped back, letting her walk past him. The tiny dimensions of the bedroom meant that she was almost nose to chest with him when he turned around.

Nose to bare, muscled chest.

She took in a shaky breath, and her right hand spread over his heart before she could stop it.

He stilled, but his heart pounded furiously under her hand.

“Harry,” she whispered.

He didn’t need any more prompting.

Before she could take in another breath, he hauled her up and captured her lips.

Heat roared through her. She couldn’t seem to get close enough to him, and let out a frustrated moan. He seemed to understand, because the next thing she knew, she was on the bed, and he was on top of her. Every hot, muscular inch of him.

“Tell me to stop,” he whispered, kissing his way down her throat. When she didn’t say anything, he lifted his head, and met her eyes. “Please, Lidia. I am almost at the point of no return.”

“Don’t stop, Harry. I never want you to stop.”

With a low growl, he kissed her, careful of her bruises even as he ravaged her mouth. She arched against him, wanting him to lose control. He seemed to read her mind, and rolled to his side, taking her with him. His hand slid under her oversized t-shirt, spreading across her bare, hot skin to pull her close.

“If I hurt you, I want you to let me know.
