"Right, focus," she told herself "If he knows that he has a sexual hold over you he ield it fiercely Oh dah "There’s another one, can somebody please write this stuff down?"

Jacque took a step back froh of relief "Finally, if I had to discuss sex as a weapon in any o rape h the females and even the males cracked smiles at Jen’s words

While Jen had been distracted, Decebel had moved silently behind her He leaned as close to her ear as theit was one of the things that drove her wild He watched her shoulders tense A slow slowed in his eyes as he spoke "You can’t rape the willing, baby" Her moan was so low that he doubted anyone but hi He didn’t like herthose sounds with other o to know that he, and he alone, could affect her this way

Jen heard the low chuckle behind her and she fought through the desire as she whipped around to glare at her mate, only, he wasn’t there Her eyes were pulled to where he stood, calainst a tree, arle eyebrow at her and ran his tongue across his bottom lip Jen cursed under her breath as she turned her back on hi

Decebel watched across the dancing flames of the fire as his mate turned away from him His wolf snarled and he bristled at the blatant rebuff He cale that he had affected her She may be able to push hi to have to play dirty with his ferinned to himself at the pun that he knew she would appreciate Once she was back in his arms, he would share it with her He felt a bone deep ache at the thought of her in his ar her war more and more insistent that they do whatever it was their ed He wanted to share everything with her, needed that closeness Decebel closed his eyes as he felt the darkness inside hi for his control He knehat he needed, knew that if he didn’t take it, then the darkness that had nearly crushed him before Jennifer, and would consume him

Alina nodded "Yes, and Vasile is a very, very patient hunter"

The air was thick with anger, hurt, desire and need as it grew later into the night Costin sat with his back against a tree so that Sally was in his direct line of sight She was so tired, so e Costin crazy that she wouldn’t lay down and rest He settled slightly after she finally fell asleep He watched the steady rise and fall of her chest as she breathed and er like this His mate bond was not complete, they had only completed the Blood Rites, and his ability to keep the darkness at bay was not as strong as the h he noticed that Peri kept a very close eye on hiave into the urge to look into herand he would be able to slip in easily He couldn’t touch her while she ake, couldn’t hold her, or kiss her But, while she slept, he could enter her mind and there, all bets were off
