"Curiosity"

Again, her explanation didn’t ring true "Why so curious tonight?"

She sank her teeth into her lower lip in a way that reminded him of Tayla Which set off a blast of heat in his body that couldn’t be hotter if he were standing next to a lava beast

"My parents are is is involved"

Gods, the Aegis had its fingers into kidnap Tayla?"

"If that’s what it took to get so hier to defend Tayla "And I will get those answers"

Son of a bitch The list of those anted Tayla strung up grew longer by the hour And that didn’t is took your parents?"

"Because so their parts on the underworld is is responsible My parents are being held as leverage"

A chill ran down his spine "Leverage for what?"

"That’s a nicer word than I’ve been using to describe theainst the headrest and stared at the roof Her small brsts jutted forward, the dark valley just visible beneath the neckline of her crihtly freckled swells pushed up with each breath, the way Tayla’s had when he had her on the bed, working her into a passionate frenzy

The teo only made the sudden flare of heat even more marked Flames licked at his skin and burned deep into thehis teeth, he concentrated on driving and not on the erection popping at his fly

She stiffened "Eidolon" Her palainst his chest "Eidolon! Shit"

It wasn’t Tayla’s voice It wasn’t Tayla’s breast he was caressing Blinking, he looked down through eyes he knew had gone gold He frowned Tayla gazed up at him, concern in her expression Her skinno, not hers Gem Fuck
