to guard my body and chauffeur me all the way to my apartment.”
    Pete cleared his throat and started up the steps with her delicate arm still linked through his. He said nothing as she keyed into the building, and they walked up one flight to her apartment. For a brief second, he wished it was a fifth floor walk-up, just so he would have an excuse to keep her body brushing against his for a little while longer. He tried to keep his mind on the job and to remember that this woman’s safety was his job—and that she’s his buddy’s sister.
    You don’t nail your buddy’s sister. It’s unbreakable guy code.
    Her hip bumped enticingly into his as they climbed the last couple of steps at the top. Pete used every ounce of willpower to keep from looking at her legs or her spectacular cleavage. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he tried to think of something else—anything else—except the woman on his arm.
    “You know,” she sighed as she slid the key into the lock of her apartment door, “you’ve been driving me around town for the past two months, but I don’t think you’ve ever been inside my apartment.”
    “Nope.” Pete stepped back, kept his hands in his pockets and both eyes on her. What was she up to? First she pretends to be wasted and bails out on that Hayden guy, and now, she’s hitting on him. What is her endgame with this?
    Marianna flipped the lock and arched one eyebrow. “Care to break that streak tonight?”
    He swallowed the urge to scream, hell yes , and instead bit out, “I don’t think so.” Pete shook his head even though his body was screaming yes.
    “Are you sure?” she asked as she grabbed his tie and twirled it playfully around one finger. Her large dark eyes clapped onto his. She tugged the annoying garment and pulled him closer.
    “Yes,” he whispered. Pete willed his body not to move, to be strong and hold his ground, but it was no use.
    The enticing scent of peaches wafted over Pete as she held him captive. His hands curled into fists in his pockets as he struggled to keep from touching her and resisted the urge to lace his fingers through that silky looking hair. Pete bit back the driving need to taste her. His entire body hummed with arousal and awareness as the heat from her body radiated along his.
    Her mouth hovered dangerously close, and her eyes glinted back with the unmistakable glaze of desire. It would be so easy to dip lower and take just one taste.
    “Come inside,” she whispered.
    Everything seemed to move in slow motion, and somewhere in that odd displacement of time and space, his mouth settled over hers. A rush of sweetness flooded him as her lush, gorgeous lips fused with his.
    She tasted like peaches too… and champagne.
    Marianna ran her tongue along his. He yanked his hands from his pockets and slipped his fingers into that long wavy hair that did indeed feel like silk. He moaned as she linked her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Devouring her lips, Pete pinned her against the door and drank greedily from her soft, pliant mouth. Her full breasts crushed against his chest, and all he could think about was getting closer.
    His body, taut with desire, sensed every single spot where her heated skin touched his. However, amid the haze of lust he heard the voice of reason screaming at him to stop, listing all the reasons why he definitely shouldn’t be doing this.
    She’s your friend’s sister.
    She’s Amoveo, and you’re human.
    She’s got some predestined shapeshifter mate out there, and you’re not it.
    She can’t ever be yours.
    “I can’t do this,” he murmured against her lips.
    Pete squeezed his eyes shut and leaned his forehead against hers. Breathing heavily, he pulled her arms from around his neck and stepped away. But as her hands slipped from his, he noticed with more than a little disappointment how quickly cold replaced warmth. Her tousled hair that just seconds ago had been tangled between his fingers spilled over her
