"You must seriously have a death wish!" She bares her fangs and after seeing her use them, they don't feel as threatening as she intends them to be. Yes, I have a reaction to them, just not the one she's aiming for.
I innocently raise my hands next to my head. "Just a man desperate for a date, Doll."

"I hate you," she grinds out, realising that she has no other choice but to agree. She does hate me. I can feel it. Until recently, I was an annoyance-at best.
Her being angry at me is extremely attractive. Knowing she could kill me and it takes every fibre of her being not to? I'll be munching on ice after my cold shower later to cool off.
I tilt her chin up, enjoying the crack of electricity when we touch. "You won't," I whisper, staring at her beautiful glossy lips.
He falls first, and even harder. Dark gothic romance!
