“Heaven knows that Malachi does only what
he desires. Screw his responsibilities. ”
Tearing his eyes from hers, Malachi
shifted his gaze to stare at the ceiling. “You try answering to the
Council for as long as I have and then you can speak to me of
responsibilities.” Then he grinned wickedly and looked back at her.
“And I’d be very careful speaking to me of desires, Kelsey. One of
these days, I just might act on the strongest one and you’d end up
burning me into a pile of ash. Maybe you should just do it and be done
with it, sweet. Save us both.”
Her heartbeat kicked up even more—he
could hear it. The scent of her body grew stronger as her flesh
heated. Her hair, fiery golden red locks, curled around her shoulders,
framing the delicate oval of her face, spilling down over the soft
curves of her breasts, and half way down her back. His fingers itched.
Malachi wanted to bury his hands in that hair, wind it around his
fingers as he tilted her head back and kissed her senseless.
Looking at her, thinking what he was
thinking, wasn’t doing a damn thing to cool the fire she caused in him.
His cock swelled and began to pound in rhythm with his pulse. The ache
spread throughout his body and Mal knew from experience it would last
for long after Kelsey had left. It was like a cancer that ate at him,
this damned need he had for her.
“It’s time to come back, Malachi.”
Startled out of his daze, Malachi jerked
his eyes back to her face. “No, it’s not,” he said slowly.
Her eyes narrowed a little and she lifted
her chin mutinously. “You can’t mean to stay away forever.”
Pushing away from the mantle, he strolled
over to the couch and dropped down on it. He took his time as he
settled down on the couch and stretched out his legs in front of him,
crossing them at the ankle. He could feel her watching him—the devil in
him had him wondering what she’d say if he told her he’d do anything she
wanted, even come back to the Council for as long as they desired.
In exchange for fifteen or twenty minutes
with her naked.
