… the kiss felt so real. But it was changing. It had been sweet in the dream, full and right. And then the hunger had yawned wide open, pulling Noah in with an utter feeling of euphoria; a euphoria almost as wonderful as his lips on hers. They had been so soft…but now… the kiss… it had grown hard and wet and… choking.

Eden gagged, her eyes flying open, panic gripping her entire body.

Teagan! She barely registered the weight of his body on top of hers, his hands stroking and bruising wherever they touched, his mouth and tongue fused to hers; she just registered the fury.

The strength of her abhorrent disbelief rushed through her, blasting through her muscles as she unpinned herself from Teagan and threw him up and off of her. He landed on her bedroom floor with a thump, wincing as he just as quickly regained his footing.

Eden trembled, her nerves shot to hell, as she struggled to her feet, putting the bed between them.

Her cousin grinned at her, his muscular bare chest moving up and down with exertion. At least he was wearing pyjama bottoms. She thanked God for small mercies. “That was fun.”

Rage bled her eyes of their cool colour.

One minute she was standing across from him, the next he was sprawled across the floor and Eden was straddling him, a letter opener biting into his neck. “You come near me again and I will gut you. Do you understand?”

He merely grinned up at her, jerking his hips up crudely. “I took you by surprise, I apologise. But you should get used to intimacy with me, Eden. You’re eighteen next year. We’ll be married, and touching you will not only be my want, it will be my right.”

Eden pressed the letter opener harder, blood bubbling up under its point. She took satisfaction in Teagan’s wince. “It will be a cold day in hell when I let that happen.”

“Ryan promised.” Teagan grinned again.

She pressed harder, surprised by how much she enjoyed inflicting pain on him. He kept grinning.

Fine. No more Miss Nice.

She changed the location of the letter opener, the blade between his legs. His eyes widened and he suddenly grew very still.

“Ryan isn’t a god, Teagan.” Eden smiled at him coldly. “His word isn’t law. And I will kill you before I ever let you touch me. Do you understand?”

He nodded slowly, his eyes darting to where she had the blade.

Eden sprang up off of him, stepping back to let him up. He did so leisurely, his body language trying to ooze cool when they both knew he’d been terrified she’d use the letter opener on his precious pieces. She was sure he wasn’t going to say anything, even feeling a little relief that maybe, finally, she had gotten through to him.

But then he stopped at the door and glared at her. “It might just have to come to that then, Eden… ‘cause I always get what I want.”

Without thought, only feeling and impotence, Eden threw the letter opener.
