What the Fang – love the title- is a trip! Kennedy immediately grabs your attention, wraps the story right around your brain, and consumes you." Chris C, Goodreads
As I set the last dish in the
cupboard, Killian said, “Thank you for tonight. It’s been a long time since
I’ve done this.”
“Had lunch with someone?” I
asked with a snort, shutting the cupboard door, turning to face him.
Energy pulsed like a
heartbeat, causing my nipples to pucker as he took a step closer. “Had a meal
with a woman.”
I swallowed against the way
his voice lowered at woman and how
those two syllables stormed through my blood. I inhaled sharply, his wintery
pine aroma overwhelming my senses. “You’re welcome. I enjoyed myself too.”
The silvering of his eyes
told me I was failing miserably at hiding the excitement building inside me. He
closed the remaining distance between us slowly, letting me watch every
powerful step he took. His hand came to my arm, and that intentional touch kicked
up my heart rate even more. Suddenly everything between us became charged, damn
near electrified. His presence was all around me, his power washing over me,
his mouth close to mine.
Aware of my desire, his
nostrils flared, as he brushed a soft kiss against my cheek. The world stopped
spinning as the air left my lungs in a rush, and my head turned without so much
as a thought, only a pure desperation to feel him against my flesh.
Except, before my lips met
his, he pulled away.
His glowing eyes were dancing.
“Thank you again.”
As he strode away, and
feeling like he suddenly had one up on me, I shoved all my desire, all my
drenched, aching need into the air, letting him scent that.
He stiffened at the doorway,
glancing back. His bright, glowing eyes, paired with the ravenous hunger on his
face, nearly melted the panties off my body. “Are you prepared to finish what
you’re starting?”
“Oh, are we starting
something?” I asked, striding up to him. He went ramrod stiff as I molded
myself to his body, leaning against the hefty erection at my stomach. “Aren’t
we just saying goodbye?”
His chest rumbled.
Having the upper hand again,
I grinned and meant to walk out of the door, except that a blast of wind
slammed the door shut. Killian pressed me against the wall, his hard muscles a
shield I never wanted gone. His hands braced my face, his lips inches from
mine. Eyes glowing, he murmured, “You know we’re starting something.”
“Maybe I do.”
The air was on fire between
us, electricity pinging as he brought his mouth closer, enough to smell Italian
spices on the tongue I craved to taste. “If I kiss you, Willa, there is no
walking away for me.” His gaze swept over my lips before meeting my eyes.
My head was spinning at the
feel of his hands on me—at the power in the air around us. I could feel him entering every molecule of my body.
His icy, woodsy aroma enveloping me. His touch burning me. His passion searing
along my skin. It was like I knew all of Killian without knowing him. I didn’t
question if I should let this happen, I knew
it had to. I threaded my hands into his hair and brought his mouth to mine.
He groaned against my lips,
and I echoed the sound, parting my mouth, allowing his tongue entrance. I
moaned as I tasted him, and he grunted for all the same reasons, his hands
exploring my body like he needed to learn it, to feel my curves. I dragged my
hands from his hair to his strong shoulders down to his rippling arm muscles.
Until Killian broke the kiss,
leaving me breathless after hearing a soft knock on the door. “Go away,” he
growled.
“I’m sorry to interrupt,”
Raphael said from the doorway. “But Ari requests your presence in the library.”
“Thank you,” I breathed,
desperately trying to get control of my tingling nerve endings.
Killian waited for Raphael to
leave before he set that smoldering stare on me, cupping my face, and cursed.
“We need to go.”
I saw the question there. All
it would take was for me to say: I need
you now, and we’d be late to meet Ari …
