possessive because I am a demon.” He moved
     
closer, invading her space, something she was quickly becoming
     
accustomed to. “It’s the dark energy in your blood, it wants to be
     
claimed. If you don’t do something soon I’m going to end up
     
taking you, and you’re going to hate me for it.” His voice
     
suddenly became breathy as he spoke against her ear. Kailani
     
shivered at his touch, what was it about him that she found so
     
alluring yet at the same time so utterly irritating? “It’s the
source…” She heard him say, his hands slipping down her sides
     
to her hips as he pulled her closer. Kai suddenly felt as if she
     
couldn’t breathe. She wanted to pull him closer so naturally she
     
shoved him away instead.
     
“Look bastard I don’t know what your drama is but lay off the
     
touchy feely!” She yelled and he growled back. But it wasn’t a
     
growl that was meant to frighten. No, that growl was purely
     
sexual, laced with a carnality that sent desire pulsing straight to
     
the center of her body.
     
“Do you have any idea the things I want to do to you right now?”
     
He asked and her brows furrowed.
     
“I don’t even wanna know the perverted shit that goes on in that
     
head of yours.”
     
“It’s not nearly as bad as yours little Miss handcuffs. I’ve never
     
been overly into bondage but I’ll be willing to try anything once.”
     
He chuckled and she cupped her hands over her ears.
“I am not thinking those things!”
     
“You are now.” Another growl that had her stomach turning flips.
     
“You...” His mouth covered hers then, cutting off any retort her
     
mind may have been forming. His fingers tangled in her dark hair
     
as he pulled her closer, nipping her lips until they parted for him.
     
Kailani felt as if she would melt as he tasted her, his expert hands
     
delving underneath the back of her shirt as his fingertips explored
     
her flesh. She felt him tugging at the clasps on her bra and
     
instinctively bit his bottom lip, which had him withdrawing.
     
“You’ll pay for that.” He stared her down, grasping her hips and
     
pulling them forward until he was pressed against the center of
     
her body. He was already hot and hard, his cock straining against
     
the back of his zipper as he thrust his hips against hers. Kailani’s
     
back hit the counter hard, a grunt leaving her lips as she swore.
     
Her back arched as he leaned over her, a growl of sheer
     
dominance renting the air around them as he bit her nipple
     
through the fabric of her bra and shirt.
“Dammit Leviathan.” She groaned, wanting to tell herself that his
     
touch was wrong, wanting the strength to push him away again
     
but all rationality having fled at the feel of his hands on her body.
     
She was inebriating, her scent swirling around his head until he
     
was simply drunk with it. A heady mixture of lust and longing,
     
the sweetest twinge of fear laced with sheer excitement and
     
something darker, something that screamed at him to take her yet
     
at the same time begged him to stay away. It was heartache.
     
While her body craved him her mind and heart where afraid of
     
being taken advantage of. She wanted him to love her first.
     
Leviathan ripped himself away from her with a growl of
     
frustration, leaving her panting and confused.
     
“I cannot give you what you ask for Kailani.” He ran a hand
     
through his hair as he sought to settle his racing thoughts. “It is
     
impossible for me.” He watched her slide off the counter,
     
straightening her hair and clothing slowly. She looked so lost, so
     
dejected it made him physically ill. “Kai—” he moved towards
     
her but she held up her hands and took a step backwards.
“No, it’s alright. I’m going to go find us a rental.” She turned
     
then, snatching up her bag and hightailing it out of the bathroom
     
as quickly as she could. Her thoughts were more erratic
