Poison's Kiss (Deadly Beauties 2)

"We've still got Castine to worry about. I'll see you guys later," Kane murmurs over his shoul

der while rushing me out of the house.

I almost laugh at his haste, and then I start running beside him as he keeps a human pace. I'm not sure why he's running, but I'm running because it's absolutely freezing out here now... literally.

The ice has started forming over the small puddles that are lying in the small divot-like areas on the ground. My breath fogs in front of me, and my skin burns everywhere winter's kiss touches it.

I start his car, using my magic, urging the heat to hurry up and find me, and he lets out a small laugh as he opens the door for me. He struts to the driver's side after closing the door, and he smiles as he finds his place beside me.

"So, I was running because it's cold as shit out there, but why were you running?" I ask as he starts backing out.

He turns onto the street, and I realize we're not too far from my house now. It's a little creepy to know this bitch has been calling out to the spirit planes while just down the road from me.

"Because I just heard them say they were staying there and we're going back to your place... alone. Of course I was in a hurry."

I laugh nervously as his fingers lace with mine. He draws my icy hand closer to his lips and I revel in the warmth of his breath as he kisses it.

"You're not going to behave, are you?" I groan, pulling my hand back when he goes to shift gears.

"Hell no."

I sigh out, stifling a laugh, and then we turn onto my drive in record time. Kane smiles deviously as he walks around to open my door for me.

"I think you should work on your skills against a night stalker subduing you some more."

"I'm sure you do."

He chuckles lightly while pulling me from the car, and then our fingers entwine. It's hard not to touch him when he wants to touch me. I almost prefer the asshole as opposed to the amazing guy he is. Night stalker or not, I'm still in love with him, and that's not something I can keep denying if he keeps being this perfect.

When I shiver, he pulls me closer, giving me some heat that flows so freely from his masterpiece of an immortal body.

"I should have known no human body looks or feels as good as yours," I grumble.

That was an accident. I didn't mean to say it aloud, but it definitely draws a smile to his lips.

"I think it's time you get reacquainted with my immortal body."

Everything in me flames, leaving me drenched in desire as he gives me a sexy wink. He unlocks and opens the door to my house, and I swallow hard as we walk in completely alone. The lights are all off, though I can see a faint glow of a candle light coming out from under the door upstairs. Apparently Dice doesn't take fire hazards seriously.

Kane swirls me into his arms with a motion that provokes a laugh from me. I giggle lightly until he stops spinning me and brings his lips to mine without warning. Before I think about what I'm doing, my hands are tangling in his hair and pulling him closer.

He tastes like the man I fell in love with, and he still feels like mine even though he's not. As my sanity flees and leaves me alone with my overwhelming heaps of need, my hands get greedier, sliding down his chest and then diving below the waist of his jeans. His fervent kiss grows stronger, reeling me into his seductive hold.

"Do it," I murmur against his lips.

"Plan to," he says with a devious grin.

"I mean, take my blood."

He pulls back; his eyes alight with scandal as my hand comes back out of his pants. "No, you mean bite you. But I can't... not until you're immortal and not addictive."

"I'll cure you again," I say far too casually, not believing those words are even coming out of my mouth.

He lets a small laugh out, forcing a tingle to spread throughout me, and then he pulls back.

"I knew you liked it."

He starts to come toward me again, his carnal promise glowing in his blue eyes. The green have vanished completely, leaving me with the dark, sexy night stalker, and I love it. I'm officially a psycho.
