But sad So very sad on the inside

And, even though she couldn’t tell McNeal, Cara was also a wo Eo--when the succubus had finally confessed about her sister’sdeath of her sister’s lover

Eers curled into fists She sure hoped Todd knehat he was doing Colin wouldn’t slip up--he’d never let his guard down around the other woman

But Emily was trained to observe other people To read their eer in his eyes The need for Cara

A need that could prove to be very, very dangerous

A need that had proved fatal for another

Chapter 10

"Ah, not so fast, Gyth" Todd brought his hand up, and barred the entrance to the elevator

Cara frowned at hilowered at hi time with my lady We need to talk, alone " The words held an une

Gyth’s face hardened "If the captain finds out…"

"Then he can callto Cara now Take the stairs"

Todd stepped back and the doors slid closed, blocking the sight of the shifter’s stony visage Then he turned around and locked his stare right on her

All alone now She looked at him and said, "Asshole"

Todd blinked "Cara, I told you, I had to--"

"You could have warned me!" She wanted to hit him, hard "You didn’t have to let that jerk shifter haul ht like hell to stay on the case, Cara"

"I thought you said I was clear--"

"You were! Baby, I wouldn’t have slipped into your bed otherwise" Blazing eyes "But then we found out that eren’t just looking for your run-of-the- for a succubus--and you’re the only one in the area who fits that bill"

Damn it

He stepped closer to her His left hand shot out Punched a red button on the elevator control panel

The big box shuddered to a halt

"Wh-what did you do?" But she knew

"We’re clearing the air here, Cara" He exhaled heavily "The captain knows about our relationship Hell, Gyth knew I’d been with you the minute I walked into the station"

The quiet words rocked through her

"I don’t htened "I came in today because I was on duty Apparently, Gyth has one hell of a nose He"--Todd’s jaw clenched--"smelled you on me"

Yeah, those two-faced shifters could do that

"Kissing and telling--that’s not my style"

"But then I’m not your usual ‘style,’ now am I? You think I’m some kind of freak because I happened to be born a demon and--"

"You’re not a damn freak!" She winced at his yell "Or a monster or--"

"What am I, then?"

His mouth snapped closed

"What am I? What am I to you? A suspect? An itch that you want to scratch? A--"

"You’re mine!" Nearly a roar

She shook her head and wondered if her ears would stop ringing soon

He grabbed her, crushing her against hi you scared and angry I hate wanting to rip my partner apart because he questions you--and I hate o too easy on you, the captain will sure as hell suspect you’re involved--and that you’re using your sex demon powers to slip into my mind and make me weak!"

Wow She knew her eyes had to be wide--and that heropen in surprise "Todd, I don’t--"

"There’s the case, baby, then there’s you and me"

Well, that was the way it should have been--but…"I keep finding myself in thesucks"

He had no idea He wasn’t the one who kept popping up as a suspect

"Cara…" Alht on her "Christ, wo

So right

A hot flush of excitery with hi the interrogation, but--ah, dauy

The sensual power flowing from Todd in waves wrapped around her

The y

And she was the one as supposed to be dangerous

He ripped hisout He freed her hands, only to raise his arms and slap his pal her

She tasted hiue--and wantedher lips and watching his gaze drop with a helpless surge of pleasure "I mean, you’re all alone here with a de what I could do to you"

He’d sure gone running fast enough this

"And you’re all alone with a man ants you so badly he can hardly think" His mouth hovered over her lips "Are you nervous?" The question hispered right back to her

Yes

His scent surrounded her, just as she knew the te lure of her pheromones surrounded him

"Is any of it real?" He asked, and there was a spark of uner in his eyes "The lust, the need…is it all a trick?"

"I told you before" She hadn’t lied then, wouldn’t lie now Screw her pride "I want you Have from the moment I opened my door to you" Her head shook, a little sadly "That’s no trick"

"But what about how I feel?" His right hand dropped to capture her jaw His thue of her teeth "Are you er just from his touch He stood so close to her that she could feel the hard ridge of his aroused cock pressing against her<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
