A costly adave her ed him softly "Why are you here?"
"Maybe I like the band" His lips hitched into the briefest of smiles and that sexy dier"
Oh, but the guy was sifted with their words Especially the men
She’d known human men who could lie their way into al that Todd was lying to her She took another sip of her drink, conscious of the eight of his hands on her arms She wanted those hands on other parts of her body She wanted them out of the bar and back at her place
She wanted Todd any way she could get him
Cara lifted a brow "So what is it that you want to talk to h voices and ht his face close to hers Stared into her eyes and said, "My drealass nearly slipped froers "Dreams?" He remembered them?
Men weren’t supposed to remember dreams of a succubus Pleasure, passion--those were the only impressions meant to stay in a otten
"You’ve been in my head," he said "Awake, asleep, I just can’t escape you"
And she couldn’t escape hiht his lips down onto hers Kissed her once A slow, leisurely taste of her lips, then a deep thrust of his tongue into her ue
When his mouth lifted, she wanted to moan at the loss
"No"
At first, she didn’t understand Was he rejecting her? Then he said, "I don’t want to get away from you" His eyes narrowed "I just want you"
"Do you usually get what you want?" She bet that he did
"Sohtened "Soht?"
The way for hu his hands up and down her arentleman
Take you out on a dates Movies Theater Whatever you want"
He hat she wanted The lust between theht for a slow courtship She needed release Pleasure
Hinifying the feelings of desire? It could be possible Human psychics were rare She’d only encountered a handful of others Dr Drake was by far the strongest she’d ever , too, but his poas different
Maybe because he didn’t even realize he had it If he channeled his ic--
Well, she wasn’t exactly certain ould happen
Her gaze dropped to the hands that still held her She lifted a brow
With a muttered curse, he released her
Able to lass back across the bar Gave an almost imperceptible nod to Carill hily, Ca on the level Not one to take a bribe or to "ossip around toas anything to go by, Todd had quite a reputation with the ladies Not that she’d been particularly surprised by that news
Caht-up asshole, but Ca by Cahtly to his asshole theory
"I’ve never really had entlemen," Cara murmured, and the words were true Of course, she hadn’t really entlemen
"So what do you want?"
She leaned toward him Put her hand on his chest so that she could feel the fast thuet out of here Go someplace dark and quiet And I want you with me" Under her In her
Now that she’d lowered the walls around herself just a bit, the lust was bursting though her body like water that had been contained behind a weak dam
His jaw clenched "You sure?"
"Very" She smiled at him, stepped back "But the choice is yours, Detective" He was the one taking the bigger risk He just didn’t know it yet
She wouldn’t hurt him She never hurt her lovers Well, unless she meant to do so
And she’d only meant to kill once
A life for a life Primitive justice, but it had been what her sister deserved
She shook her head slightly, trying to push away the past Now that she’d started thinking of Nina, that terrible night kept slipping into her mind
This really wasn’t the time to think about death and darkness With Todd, she only wanted to think of pleasure and life
She held up her hand Offering, waiting
"There’s so different about you," he said "I know it"
He was right, but he had no idea just how very different she could be Perhaps she’d show him
He reached for her hand
The choice was made
The whore had the cop under her spell From the shadows, he watched as Cara and her detective left the bar…the hu hands all over her
The fool didn’t knoho-- what--he was touching And he sure as hell didn’t knohat price he’d pay for his pleasure
The others hadn’t known, either They’d fallen so easily for Cara and her lying eyes Fallen…then died
A smile curved his lips even as his hands clenched into fists
Cara should have learned by now--the humans weren’t for her
Just how many would he have to kill before she learned her lesson?
Dr Emily Drake stepped out of the elevator and into the diht, but her vampire client hadn’t been able to make it into the office any sooner And Marvin had insisted on seeing her Seeht The near miss had so rattled him that Marvin had been physically sick ever since
Poor Marvin
A classic bloodphobic va some incredible headway At least he wasn’t afraid of the actual blood anymore
No, now he could drink the blood just fine, provided he didn’t have to get it straight frohtly in her right hand The garage was all but deserted, the fluorescent lights flickering above her Her car waited up ahead, e
