Demon Love Read Online Free PDF Page B

hungry I was until I smelled the bacon.”
    Kendra smiled as she put a plate on the table. “Then have a seat.”
    Thor sat and dived into the food. It was nice eating a meal that wasn’t served in a diner or through a fast-food window. When he finished the last bite of pancake dripping in syrup, he looked up to see Kendra studying him.
    She smiled. “Guess you were hungry?”
    “Sorry, I wasn’t very good company just then.”
    She shrugged. “It’s okay. After what you went through and then sleeping for most of the day, I’m not surprised.”
    Thor took a sip of the hot coffee and savored the way it went down. He put the cup down and looked across the table. “Why am I here and not at Navida’s, or Erik’s, or, heaven forbid, Midnight’s?”
    She lifted her chin and met his gaze. “Because I told Midnight you were coming here. He wasn’t happy about it, but he finally conceded. Is there a problem with that?”
    The fact that she’d insisted he be brought here thrilled him on a very primitive level. It also bothered him beyond reason that she didn’t seem concerned with her own safety. “Yeah, there is. I could have hurt you in the state I was in.”
    Kendra shook her head. “You were so out of it, you couldn’t have hurt a butterfly, much less me.”
    Her words did nothing to diminish the tension in him. “I changed into my demon form and that’s not something to be taken lightly. I’m not in total control when in demon form. Most people wouldn’t want to be around when that happens.”
    “Well it’s a good thing I’m not like most people. You didn’t scare me away then, so stop trying to do it now.” Kendra pushed back her chair. “Take off your shirt.”
    “What?” Thor eyed her as she picked up a package of bandages and a tube of cream from the counter.
    “I’ve got to bandage the wound.” She walked behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
    He pulled the shirt over his head and flinched when her soft, warm hand touched his skin.
    “Sorry, didn’t mean to hurt you.”
    “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.” He gritted his teeth as her fingers spread the salve across his wound. The injury wasn’t close to life threatening now, but he wasn’t so sure her touch wasn’t. He mentally counted to ten in hopes of keeping his lust in check. She leaned in closer and the subtle scent of shampoo, body wash and woman was enough to disintegrate his willpower. He turned and captured her wrist in his hand. With a single tug she landed in his lap. She gave a startled yelp that he cut off by capturing her mouth with his.
    For the briefest moment, he felt as if he was dreaming and then her arms went about his neck, pressing their bodies closer. His breathing stopped and lights exploded behind his eyelids when he felt her soft, warm breasts press up against him. He let his hands skim across her back and the flare of her hips. Her breath caught and her tongue darted into his mouth capturing his in a seductive dance that threatened to send them spiraling out of control.
    Thor tightened his hold on her hips, refusing to let that happen. He wasn’t going to rush this, no matter how much she tried. Releasing her hips, he captured her face between his palms and slowly regained control of the kiss. She shifted in his lap, deepening the kiss, but he refused to give her back the power she wanted. Gently, tenderly he ended the kiss, pulled back and opened his eyes.
    She sighed and opened her eyes. “Why did you stop?”
    He reached behind her, sliding his fingers through the silken strands of blond hair. “I’ve waited too long for this moment to rush it.”
    A sly, sexy smile spread across her lips as she leaned back and placed her palms flat against his chest. “So have I.”
    Her hands moved down his chest to his abs and he knew if he let her go any further, they’d never make it to the bedroom. Slipping one hand behind her back, he placed the other beneath her knees and stood. “Let’s go finish this
