neck to her cheek. With the big finale, he took a chance and, pulling her up a little, he kissed her, tasting her on his lips and moaning into her mouth. Gripping her tighter he barely remembered to not hurt her with his grip.
    Her fingers tightened on his shoulders, she held onto him and opened her mouth to him and the taste of him overtook her just as it had in her dream. This was reality, she knew that it was because the people weren’t simply off to the side, no they were there and they were watching them intently.
    Applause for the band broke through the haze as he tasted her for real and he pulled back just enough to stare into her eyes. “I know you,” he murmured softly, that strange and bizarre sense of understanding buzzing around his head, just out of reach. “I know you on a level no other ever will and yet you won’t tell me your name,” he whispered as a soft and gentle tune began to play. Moving with her so that the other dancers soon lost interest, he stared at her. “Why won’t you tell me your name, little one? Are you hiding from someone?” he asked, concerned for her safety. “Or are you afraid that your name will make me run away?”
    “It will make you run away, Kristof, and I’m not ready to lose you yet,” she admitted softly as they moved with the soft strains of the waltz. “You know me, Kristof, we have never met as I am now.” Mostly. “But you know who I am and all it would take would be my name and you would be angry at the fates for putting me into your path.” No doubt there. “Can we have just this time together? Just these moments?” She wanted more, her heart ached because he made her want so much more than just moments, but she knew that she couldn’t get more than that, no one would ever give her more than that.
    “Shh,” he whispered placing her hand on his arm before cupping her cheek. “You can have tonight, but I really want a name to go with the body I’m having seriously inconvenient thoughts about. It feels wrong to lust after my mate and not know her name. Before the night ends you have to promise to tell me and not while you’re running out the door, honey. Also,” he added, frowning at her, which would have been much more effective if he hadn’t been wearing the mask. “Quit putting thoughts or words into my mouth, I can make up my own mind on things thank you very much.”
    She closed her eyes and leaned her head in close to him, her forehead pressing against his cheek. He was tall, she didn’t tower over him, even in the heels and she liked that, very much. She was just over six feet in the heels she wore but he still was more than half a head taller and he fit her perfectly.
    She wet her lips and pulled back, about to speak when she heard, “Well if it isn’t Ms. Hoity Toity,” Bill Sweets said with a hiccup. “As I live and breathe the barracuda does know how to clean up doesn’t she?” He snickered and looked to Kris. “I would watch yourself, Doctor ,” he said stressing the title. “Warsaw will have your nuts in a sling, won’t you Doctor Warsaw?”
    Courtney’s fingers clenched on Kristof’s jacket lapels and she looked at Bill. “I think that it’s time that you had a cab called for you, Bill.” He always got smashed at these functions, the only reason he was still invited was that he was normally so asinine that he made the people laugh and now it seemed she was the target for humiliation.
    “I’d listen to the lady, Bill,” Kris said softly, his tone icy as he spoke to the man. “And I’d learn to keep a civil tongue in your head as well in regards to her,” he added his lips curling in a cold smile of a predator as he let his eyes flash to those of the Wolf. Growling low, where nearly no sound could be heard and yet the human body reacted to the clearly implicated danger. Swinging her around and away he shook his head. “Jackass,” he muttered as he pulled her a little closer. “Relax, honey, I’m not going to run
