his wrist, tried to pull it away.
    “Don’t you
dare
—”
    Cotton shredded like tissue. A claw sliced through her bra. Oh, fuck that. Furious, she lashed out with her foot. Her kick should have shattered bones. Her punch could have fractured rock. He shrugged them off, catching her wrists, pinning them over her head with one hand.
    Gritting her teeth, she waited . . . but this wasn’t what she’d thought, either. Though he stared at her naked chest, that thick club between his legs wasn’t hard.
    He must have felt her relief. “
That
is not in my nature.”
    Sex, or forcing it? “Because you’re half-demon?”
    Those creatures could perform the physical act of sex, but they couldn’t feel arousal. She’d never questioned whether Michael could. Maybe she should have.
    “No. I have experienced those needs. But there is nothing I have not done many times over in many different forms. The appeal was lost thousands of years ago. Your body does not tempt me to try again.”
    Oh. Well, that was . . . really fucking cruel. The bastard. He’d been in her head. He had to know how many times she’d imagined him being tempted and trying—and how quickly she’d always repressed those thoughts, feeling slightly blasphemous and guilty. But she couldn’t help having them. He had a face like sculpted granite and his body was her personal sexual fantasy come to life. Of course she’d imagined him in bed.
    But this was for the best. He’d only been a fantasy; she’d never wanted sex with him to become a reality. And now that she’d seen this hunger and cruelty at his core, he’d never interest her again.
    Still, his words made her chest ache. But she wouldn’t show it. She wouldn’t show it.
    It didn’t matter. He knew it. Strong fingers caught her chin, forced her gaze to his. “You feel pain over such words? You misunderstand. Your body does not interest me, Andromeda. But
you
do. When I am invulnerable, I will claim you as my own and fill you with my seed.”
    Taylor sputtered on a hysterical laugh. He couldn’t have just left it at her unappealing body? Because this didn’t make her feel better. “Keep dreaming, asshole. Even on the zero chance of that happening, your seed isn’t filling anything. I’m a Guardian, so that means no kids. Ring a bell?”
    “I do not want children. I want to possess you in every way, to make you mine.” His hand tightened around her wrists when she struggled. “I will keep you close and protect you.”
    “No, thanks. Really. I’ll take care of myself.”
    “As you are now?”
    Fucker. Her jaw clenched as she stared back at him, gathering every bit of hate and anger inside her before projecting it outward. Unmoved by her rage, his flat obsidian gaze held hers for a long moment before dropping to read the symbol between her breasts. She blinked with surprise when she felt the touch of his healing power, then gasped as pain flared through the raw flesh. The warmth of his Gift immediately vanished.
    “It has to be cleansed with fire,” he said softly. “I will kill her for doing this to you.”
    Khavi? Arms still pinned over her head, Taylor looked down at her chest, trying to ignore her tits on display. The skin surrounding the symbol appeared swollen, infected. Just looking at the wound seemed to make it hurt more.
    Taylor despised having to ask him, but she wanted to know. “What does it say?”
    “‘Release.’”
    “What will it do?”
    “Take me from here.” His thumb brushed her temple. “Just as you wished. But destroying the body will do the same. Give it to me.”
    This time she didn’t hesitate. “No. Not when you’re like this.”
    “Then there is another way to destroy it.”
    Gently, his hand wrapped around her neck. Icy horror slithered through her veins. He only had to rip off her head and the body in her hammerspace would be forever lost.
    “Make your choice, Andromeda.”
    Decide whether to let him kill her? Cold sweat trickled down her
