I averted my gaze, and he leaned closer. So close I could feel his breath against my cheek. Did vampires breathe? Or was that his fiery energy touching me?
“Why are you telling me these things? Yes, I’m scared. Yes, I avoid you. There. Does that make you happy?”
His posture slackened, tilting into me. When I looked at him, his eyes were bleak and his lips were downturned. “No. It doesn’t.” He stared at my lips. “You smile for everyone but me. You’re at ease with everyone but me. Why?”
“Look where you have me!”
“No.” He shook his head. “I’ve never dragged you into a bathroom before.”
“You took me into the bus last Monday and wouldn’t let me out!”
His jaw tightened. “You’ve been distant with me from the very beginning.”
“Hello. You’re not special. I’m distant with everyone. Do you see any friends around me, Liam? Do you see me call family or anyone besides those I’m supposed to?”
His eyes darkened. “I’m not special?”
Like the glassy expression in his azure gaze, his voice dripped with something sinister. I made a mistake. When he wedged his knee between my thighs, I knew he had a point to make. That he differed from everyone else.
“What are you doing?” I gasped as his leg rose further, forcing the tight skirt I wore to glide up. A fluttery feeling settled in my stomach. But there was also an urgent throb in my clit, especially when his thigh pressed against it. Oh, God. My face was so hot. My body was even hotter. What was happening?
He leaned down and whispered in my ear, “You think you can hidethatfrom me?”
My ear and neck tingled. I didn’t know whatthatwas until he moved his leg against me.
“That’s inappropriate,” I whispered.
He leaned his weight into me, so I felt his erection. “Does it feel like I want to be appropriate with you, Jayne?”
I panted, chin lifting slightly, and gave him the perfect opportunity. His mouth descended over mine. My eyes closed instinctively, and my lips parted. Jubilation rippled through me when his tongue flicked across mine. I sensed the connection to the depths of my soul. As if Liam caressed my soul instead of devouring my lips.
The way my body pulled to him like a magnet was electrifying. No,terrifying.
I pushed him away and screamed, “Stop!”
Liam staggered, gazed at my heaving chest, then came back stronger. My body braced itself. The picture beside me rattled as he shoved me against the wall. My pussy clenched. His demanding touches created a firestorm of lust inside my stomach.
I still fought him, smacking his chest and avoiding Liam’s kisses. But he captured my lips, anyway. Hedevouredme.
But I didn’t put much into my protests. I was simply trying to protect myself from someone that might not be human. He must…
He sucked on my bottom lip. I wobbled slightly on my heels, and then my panties dampened. With a moan, I gave in and leaned into his kisses. My lips parted, and I slid my tongue inside his mouth. He groaned, and the sound went straight to my clit like the reverb from a guitar solo. I had a feeling that musician would play my body like an instrument.
He released my arms after realizing I wasn’t pushing him away. I pressed my palm against his chest.Beat for me. Tell me your secrets.Nothing. One, two, three…
Liam yanked my wrists over my head. Our hands snagged the picture on the wall. It wobbled and then slid down the wall. The glass shattered. Something sharp pierced my leg.
“Ow,” I said.
Liam pulled away quickly. I glanced down and lifted my leg. A trail of blood ran down into my heels. Apparently, the glass nicked my ankle.
“Shit,” I muttered. Liam stepped back. Forgetting my ankle, I grasped his arm as he turned. He hid his face from me, looking at the exit instead. “What are you doing?”
“I need to be on stage.” His voice was thick and raspy.
“Look at me.” I tugged, trying to grab his attention.
“Jayne.” The word came out strained as if he stood on a tightrope, and I asked him to sever it.
