Now here I am. He watched her with glittering animal eyes. Studying her face hungrily. Lascivious thoughts pouring through him as he fixated on her full lips.
Shoving him back she ducked under his arm.
Na-uh...Not so fast. He caught her wrist and twirled her to pull her against him again.
Making her yelp.
"Please." She shoved him back and this time he let her.
As you wish. To see what you'll do...He turned, following her movements with his eyes, purposefully rotating to watch her round him.
"Where do you leave for?" She tried to distract him from his intent. But she panted, shoulders heaving. And her feet caught, making her stumble.
Usually so sure-footed. He cocked his head, studying her motivation for such a question.
"Y-you seemed in a hurry."
Straightening, he rolled his shoulders. Drawing a deep breath. "Lucien, is in need of my assistance."
Again.
Her brow furrowed. "How do you know?"
I always know.
"I dreamt it."
"What manner of explanation is that?"
The only one I have.
"Is that not the man you just recently aided?" She persisted.
Yes.
"It is."
"Then why again so soon?"
"Because he's in need of my presence again."
"Do you enjoy frustrating me?" She scowled.
"Yes." He strode across the room.
You've no idea how much!
Your infinitely sensual when your eyes storm and your body flushes.
She stared at his back.
"Fantasize all you wish about shredding my back."
"I was." She said slowly. "But what are those marks already there?" Her tone turned venomous.
From the last fight I was in.
"From rage to curiosity, huh?"
"Who is she?" She commanded.
"Who?" He turned slowly.
"Don't pretend." She tilted her head. "It's unlike you to play such games."
Dorena?
The Watcher Woman.
"She's not here for me." He dismissed.
"Oh, isn't she?" Elsabet's voice crackled with disbelief.
"She's not."
I don't want her.
"Then why?"
"To help her."
To support her escaping Radix's clutches.
"With what?" She jeered. Her implication clear.
To detox evil from her veins.
I'm not interested in her.
"Elsabet..." He sighed. "You're the only one I want to bed."
