Free Kraven (VLG Series Book 2) by Laurann Dohner Page B

we’re two reasonable adults.” A smirk twisted her lips. “How hard can that be?”
    He growled. Her heart raced and damned if her nipples didn’t harden even more. She wondered if he’d make those animalistic noises during sex. Would he take the Werewolf/Vampire delusion into bed with a woman? She hated that she really wanted to find out. It had to be the hit to her head making her have crazy thoughts. Yeah, go with that.
    “You’re determined to make me spank you, aren’t you?” His voice rasped the words and his blue eyes narrowed.
    I’m a sick bitch , she decided. Dealing with the scum I normally do has twisted me if I want to jump this crazy bastard . But God, he’s totally hot . “Please eat something? I promise I won’t insult you and I’ll be nice.”
    Oh, if only you knew how nice I want to be to you, she thought, glad he couldn’t read her mind. He smelled incredible and his eyes made her feel drawn to him for some strange reason. She could get lost inside that intense look he gave her.
    He spread his thighs and leaned back, his hands braced on the stone behind him. It moved him out of her reach so she had to let go of his arm, but the picture he created forced Bat to repress a groan. The guy was sex on legs. She gawked a little, taking notice of every inch of him.
    Tight, faded jean encased thighs that were big enough to make her fantasize about how strong they must be. She had a real thing about men’s legs. With his spread, and his hips tilted just a little, she could imagine him sitting that way to accommodate a raging hard-on. Her gaze lowered but didn’t see a telling bulge. She wasn’t sure what she’d have done if he were in that condition.
    Her gaze zeroed in on his tank top. She would pay good money to see him lift it to flash his abs. His arms were sculpted with impressive muscles and he probably had a washboard tummy to match.
    Is he hairy? She hoped not. She hated to lick a matted chest.
    Damn it, knock it off , she ordered herself. Her body was really getting worked up and she knew if she didn’t stop fantasizing about the big sexy loon, she’d need a new pair of panties to wear until hers dried. A concussion would totally account for this.
    “Talk,” the gruff, deep voice rasped.
    She didn’t want to. She finally met his gaze and those light blue eyes framed in thick black eyelashes may as well have punched her in the gut. Damn, I want him , she admitted. Right or wrong, crazy or not, I’ve never been so turned-on in my life.
    “Obviously we’re stuck together for as long as you feel the need to keep me. I just hope your brother really is taking care of my sister. We’d both get lost, die of exposure, or fall victim to the dangerous wildlife your state is known for. You and I need to get along until this is over.”
    “Fine. Don’t talk to me and we’ll get along just great.” He straightened, giving her a look that left no doubt his temper hadn’t cooled. “I won’t be insulted by some clueless bitch. I’ve told you the truth.”
    Anger instantly flashed inside Bat. “I told you not to call me that again.”
    Kraven’s eyes seemed to glow. “I remember. You threatened to castrate me.” He gave her a cold smile. “You keep your hands off my dick. You damn near injured me when we crashed. You hurt me one more time and you’ll kiss it better.”
    He was so forceful she believed every word. He’d put her on her knees to get her lips on him. That turned her on more, just imagining the scene. The submissive side she tried to hide shivered just a little at the image of him unzipping those jeans to reveal where she’d “hurt” him.
    Bat closed her eyes, the image stuck. She tried to push it back. She heard Kraven sniff deeply a few times and her eyes opened. The first thing she saw was his shocked expression.
    “That turns you on?” He whispered the accusation.
    “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she lied.
    He sniffed again and leaned forward.
