As we kissed, the drizzling rain began to pour, pelting the cabin's tin roof The last tione to Jack's home in the bayou

He drew back "Christ, your lips are sweet Doux coar He yanked off his shirt, revealing his damp, muscular chest, and the rosary around his neck I'dhim like this

His hands landed onit a possessive squeeze "Tu es a moi, Evie You're ain Between kisses, he said, "I told you once and I'll tell you again: There is nothing that can happen that we can't get past Just give et to you Promise me"

"Jack"

"Proain"

Staring at his lips, I nodded "Would you always come for me?"

He drunkenly "

I laughed How could I feel this lad I don't have to hide this any longer No more secrets then-for either of us" Wait Had his eyes darted? "Do you have so you want to tell me?"

"Non, rien" No, nothing

"Are youare you lying to ht now Considering this game, this whole world, we have to be able to trust each other"

"I' You can trust ot no secrets Except for how bad I want you"

Relieved, I gave him a shaky nod "I believe you"

"Good" He scooped ainst his chest to head for the cabin's little bed "That night by the pool, you would've let one slower I'll do that now Nice and slow, me"

"We can't be together like that What if I hurt you with my powers?"

"What a way to go, ma belle"

"I'm serious"

"So a his hts "You love me too much to hurt me"

I didn't bother denying that, just leaned up forI'd heard the phrase "drunk from his lips" I literally was from the moonshine

There was French kissing, and then there was Cajun French kissing Spicier, harder, wilder

That's hoith Jack Deveaux Burning out of control Probably just as destructive as an inferno And I didn't care

He drew back and tossed me on the bed-

The blanket collapsed; I was plued the edge with ertips

Jack dove for rip "Jesus! I've got you!"

I could barely hear hihorn sounded from the roof of the cabin

A signal for thistrap?

As Jack lifted azed below Rusted rebar jutted froainst hi the back of my head protectively

There'd been no mattress; someone had spread a thin layer of foaht blanket and pillows

"Dear God," I muttered when the horn died down

He huggedbreath "II could've killed you"

"Who would do this?" I asked, though I knew That loud signal had been like a quitting-time horn for a factory-or for a mine

"Cannibals" Jack grabbed my clothes, shoved theoan to coo, bebe Fast"
