-- Eternal Game --

Kane tasted like fire, a fire that burns like ice. I lifted my chin, kissing her back fiercely, my hands wrapped around the curves of her waist so tightly that—if she wasn’t a vampire—I’d be afraid of bruising her.

But this moment didn’t seem real. And by gripping her hips, by pressing my fingers hard into her body, into her flesh, I was trying to ground myself in the reality of the situation, of the moment.

Because how could this possibly be happening? Kane was kissing me with such fierceness, such passion, and I’d dreamed of moments like this, yes. But I couldn’t have imagined it ever happening to me again.

I didn’t want to think anymore. I was done thinking, done worrying, done second-guessing myself, done with dreaming.

I was done with everything but feeling.

And, my God, I was feeling a lot.

Kane’s hand was at the back of my neck, gently cupped against my skin, her fingers so cold against me as they twined in my hair, as she slowly reached up, drifting her fingers across the nape of my neck, that goosebumps rose along my skin, and I took a deep breath, holding her closer, harder. She touched me like I was something fragile, like this moment between us was something fragile. Like everything could break.

But I’d already broken. I’d already broken into the smallest pieces when Anna died, and again when Kane said she had feelings for me…and then chose Melody over me. I’d broken, and I’d put myself back together again.

I was done being broken.

I gripped her even harder, tightening my fingers at the curve of her waist beneath her dress shirt. We were standing right by the empty front desk of the Sullivan Hotel, and though there was no one in the entryway or lobby or corridors, this was still hardly a private location. But I didn’t care. I'd waited long enough, and that meant that this moment was all I had—so I was going to make the most of it. My body moved on pure instinct alone as I tugged up on her shirt, drawing it out from the waistband of her suit pants, and then my warm fingers were pressed against the cool smoothness of her back, the sculpted lines of her belly.

Someone told me recently that vampires retain the body they had the day they were made into vampires. Branna had told me how hard she and Kane worked back in Ireland, tilling the fields and making a life for their families. Kane’s muscles, hard beneath my fingertips, belied an intense hardship and struggle for life, not countless days at the gym.

I kissed Kane, and I reveled in those muscles, tracing circles across them, hooking my fingers into the waistband of her suit pants. The intensity of her kiss brightened just then, quickening, and when I gasped against her, when I drew back a little, I looked up at her wet lips, at her darkened eyes, darkened with hunger, with need, and I knew that she felt everything I did.
