want to make up for it. Just tell me how,” she whispered, inching up on her tip toes so she could bring her lips just a breath away from his. But before she could kiss him, he gripped the sides of her face and held her off.
    “I’ll tell you how,” he said calmly, right before he reached behind his neck and wrenched her wrists away. “For starters, you can keep your claws – and your scheming – away from me.”
    As he spoke, he pulled back, before swiveling round and heading for the kitchen door.  Pausing in the open frame, he twisted round to add with gritted teeth, “And don’t ever use Jamie as some kind of tactic to get my attention. He’s not a bargaining chip. I’ll do anything for him but if you keep pushing, then you’ll make me do something I really don’t want to do.”
    “Like what?” scoffed Jessica, shaking with rage at being rejected – again. “Like turn your back on Jamie? You could never do that. You’re too much of a man of honor.” She said the word with a sneer in her lips which turned to derisive laughter as he spun around without another word and left.
     
    Chapter Nineteen
    Makayla felt Blade slip in quietly beside her. Resting on her side with her back to him, she tried not to stiffen when she felt his lips upon her shoulder. His kiss was soft as his hand travelled up her bare arm.
    “I know you’re awake,” he said, voice low and thickened with desire that made her bite on her lip in helpless response. She didn’t want to be turned on. Damn! She wanted to stay angry at him. He’d dashed out two hours earlier after a phone call from that annoying woman and now he wanted her.
    Makayla sighed and felt furious with herself for being so selfish. What if Jamie had needed help? No matter how many times or whatever time Jessica called, Makayla couldn’t begrudge the episodes when Blade had to leave to make sure everything was okay. So long as he always came back home to her.
    She turned over on her back and even in the dimness of the bedroom could see the blue gleaming fires in his eyes. Since he’d moved into his new place she’d been spending a lot of nights there, especially on weekends such as this one.
    His gaze travelled downwards as he viewed her bulky nightshirt, and his eyebrow lifted.
    “I thought the rule was - no clothes in bed?”
    His voice was a silken cascade of heat and she squirmed deep in her belly. Well, she had been mad earlier when he’d left right in the middle of their lovemaking thanks to Jessica’s unexpected call. So she’d grumpily dressed in her most un-sexy sleepwear hoping to send a message when he returned – if he returned that night – that she was no longer in the mood.
    So much for that, she thought with an inner laugh as she pulled off the offending item. “An oversight soon fixed. See?” she purred.
    “Oh, I see,” Blade growled, eyes locked to her breasts, plump and firm, swaying gently as she leaned up on her elbows. He cupped the right mound and squeezed possessively, his eyes burning a laser beam unto her flesh as he watched her nipple swell and stiffen beneath his flicking thumb.
    “Jamie’s okay though?” Makayla asked with concern, gasping underneath her breath as he teased her hungry little tit.
    “He’s fine,” Blade said, a flash of anger suddenly crossing his face. “I wish…”
    “What?” she asked softly, not happy to see him in such a mood.
    He shook his head quickly. “Never mind. Everything’s fine. I just hope it can stay that way for a long time. For one night at least so I can make sweet love to my sexy woman.”
    “So I’m your woman, huh?” Makayla said, suddenly twisting and getting him on his back so she could straddle him.
    “Yeah,” he said, letting her take his hands and guide them up her sides to her breasts. They spilled eagerly in his palms and he fondled them, his touch roughly passionate.
    “And you’re my man?” she asked, reaching behind her to grasp his thick cock which was
