laughter in his voice. The asshole . Somehow, Kristoff knew this was going to be torture for Zach. And the twisted bastard is enjoying the fact that I’m uncomfortable.
Kat’s face fell as she looked at him in horror. “The bargain. Was that for real?”
Zach shifted uncomfortably as he answered in a husky voice, “Yes.”
“Why? Why would you suggest that?” Kat looked at him anxiously, her face flushing.
Zach shrugged as his eyes met her startled expression. “I guess I suggested it without really thinking.” His hand reached out with a will of its own to thread through her auburn mass of curls. He nearly groaned at the silky softness. “I may be your rescuer…but I’m still a demon.”
Zach admitted to himself that the dark, wicked side of him had wanted her locked into the bargain. She was so beautiful to him that he hadn’t been able to resist. He hadn’t wanted to resist. The man in him knew it was unfair and struggled with the ethics of his actions, but his demon side was screaming to possess her and didn’t give a damn how he got her. He’d never really had a major struggle between the demon he was and the humanity he’d developed, but he had a bad feeling both were about to go to war…big time.
Kat rubbed her palms against the worn denim of her jeans before crossing her arms over her ample breasts. “No offense, but I think you are way past due for an eye exam, Mr. Winston. I’m a plain, overly curvy redhead with very few physically attractive features. Not exactly a woman who would make any man feel consumed with lust. I think we’re pretty safe.”
“You’re the most tempting woman I’ve ever met. I’ll keep you from any physical harm, but you’re far from safe with me, Kat.” His voice was low and tortured, as though he couldn’t stop the flow of words from his mouth. He pulled his hand from her hair reluctantly as he finished, “Call me Zach.” Mr. Winston applied to all of his brothers, and Zach craved intimacy with Kat desperately. He wanted her to know exactly who she was with at all times.
Zach stared at Kat’s ripe, full lips as her tongue darted out to moisten them, his mind wandering to carnal ideas of where he’d like to have those lips and that tongue right now. His internal struggle prompted him to move away, but she reached for him as he was about to rise. Her arms snaked around his neck and she drew his mouth toward hers before he could move. As her warm, welcoming lips met his, satisfying one of his many longings that were associated with this woman…moving wasn’t even a consideration. His desires were flowing into her mind, and she was consumed by the need to do anything he wanted.
I need her. Just one kiss. One intimate act to pacify my desire to possess her.
All thoughts of humanity fled as their lips met, and his darker instincts took control.
*****
Kat groaned as she slid her tongue into Zach’s willing warm mouth, shivering at the intensity of their hot, passionate embrace. He rolled on the bed, sprawling his naked torso on top of hers as his arms wrapped around her in a powerful hold.
Her hands explored his shirtless muscled back and chest, unable to get enough of his heated naked skin as he took control. He nibbled and nipped at her bottom lip, and then teased it with his tongue before devouring her mouth again…and again.
Kat was breathless, whimpering into his mouth as she squirmed beneath him, her body and mind not accustomed to being devoured with this sort of passion. He wants me, really desires me. She could feel his hard shaft pressing against the confines of his jeans, engorged and begging for release.
She ground up against him, needing to satiate his body. She could see crystal-clear flashes of scenarios in her mind.
Her …on her knees, sucking him to completion.
Him …his mouth between her thighs, licking her into a state of complete ecstasy.
Both of them …straining together as his cock slammed into her over and over again,
