“when you asked me to stay away from you in your note, it finally hit me. You meant it. You weren’t going to try anymore. I’d run out of chances, and I realized that the night before would be the last time I ever saw you.

“Without a word he started stalking down the street in the opposite direction my grandparents had taken. I started after him, my steps slower.

And then quite abruptly Caine whipped around and marched back toward me. Features etched with determination, he yanked me roughly to him and crushed his mouth down over mine. I made a noise of surprise in the back of my throat before my instincts took over. I couldn’t help sinking into his kiss.


When he finally let me go we were both breathing hard. Caine smoothed his thumb over my cheek, his eyes still dark with passion and anger.

“I could give a fuck who saw that.”

Caine must have heard the fear, because he kissed my neck, tightened his hold on me, and said, “Me neither. But we’ll get used to it.”

“Promise?”

He lifted his head to meet my gaze. “No, because on second thought I don’t want to get used to it. If you get used to it—”

“You forget to be thankful for it,” I finished.
He nodded slowly. “Yeah.”

“I’m a grown fucking man, and I nearly bawled like a baby watching that shit.”
Rhys’s sincerity caused a tightening of attraction deep in my gut. He watched wildlife documentaries? I did bawl like a baby at the walruses and was strangely turned on that he was compassionate enough to admit to feelings on the matter.
I might have emitted a moan.”

“Er macht mir Angst", gestand ich ihr.
Sie gab ein Prustton von sich. "Bei mir ist er die Liebenswürdigkeit in Person."
Als ich das hörte, fiel mir fast die Kinnlade herunter.

Ihr Lächeln daraufhin hatte etwas Selbstgewisses. "Sie werden schon sehen.”

"Du hast Glück." Er strich mit den Fingerknöcheln über meinen Bauch, und sein Blick folgte seinen Finger, wie sie am Bündchen meiner Unterwäsche entlangfuhren. Sein Gesicht verschleierte sich vor Lust. "Wir wissen ja beide, dass ich kein Gentleman bin.”

“Sie kannst du vielleicht täuschen, aber mich nicht."
Er sah mich von der Seite an. Offenbar hatte er meine schlechte Laune bemerkt. "Tatsächlich?", murmelte er.
"Mmmhmm. Sie tuscheln alle hinter deinem Rücken, wie gefährlich du bist und wie skrupellos und aufregend. Sie kichern wie dummer Hühner. Aber ich weiß etwas, was sie nicht wissen."
Jetzt wandte Cain sich vollständig zu mir um. "Und das wäre?", frage er herausfordernd.
Traurigkeit ergriff mein Herz wie eine eiserne Hand.
"Du wirkst gefährlich, weil du gefährlich bist. Du bewegst dich wie ein griesgrämiger Tiger, und alle anderen sind für dich bloß Beute zwischen deinen Pranken. Sie sind so sehr damit beschäftigt, dich anzuhimmeln und darüber ui reden, wie umwerfend du doch aussiehst, dass sie gar nicht merken, dass sie gleich von dir gefressen werden. Dass du sie kaust und dann ausspuckst.”

A gift like that made a man crave more.”
