”I haven’t seen anyone else in days.”

He presses closer, his body looming over mine. I can feel the heat radiating off him and see his eyes darkening. My gaze flickers over his face, noticing the way his eyes linger on mine. The tension between us thickens with each passing moment.

“How many of you are there?”

I grit my teeth, refusing to give him the satisfaction of an answer. “I’m not telling you anything,” I retort, but my voice trembles slightly despite my best efforts to sound defiant.

Before I can react, he pins me against the wall, his proximity sending a jolt of electricity through me. My breath catches in my throat at the dangerous spark igniting between us.

His voice is a low growl as he accuses me of being responsible for the recent deaths in town.

I shake my head in denial. “I had nothing to do with those deaths, Liam. I was about to leave town before you stopped me.”

I can feel the tension crackling in the air as his eyes roam over my face, lingering on my lips with an intensity that sends a shiver down my spine.

I swallow hard, my pulse racing as I meet his gaze head-on. “You shouldn’t stare at me like that,” I say breathlessly.

He cocks his head. “What do you mean?”

“Like you’re debating whether to kill me or kiss me.”

The words hang in the air between us.

For a moment, neither of us moves. And then, with a resigned sigh, he releases me, stepping back and breaking the spell that had enveloped us.

I take a shaky breath, unsure of what comes next.

He runs his hand through his brown hair, a look of frustration crossing his face as he mentions someone named Mariya being wrong.

My curiosity piqued, I ask, “Who’s Mariya?”

His steely gray eyes are fixed on me. I bite my lip.

He moves closer, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that makes me shiver.

“Don’t say her fucking name, vampire,” he spits out. But this time, the word has lost some of its venom.

I can feel the heat radiating off him, his warm breath mingling with mine in the charged air between us. Despite the tension, there’s something undeniably alluring about him, something that draws me in despite my better judgment.

He leans in, brushing his lips against mine, and I freeze, my mind reeling. His touch is electric, sending a jolt coursing through me as his lips linger against mine. But before I can fully process what’s happening, he pulls back, leaving me breathless and wanting more.

I meet his gaze, my heart pounding as I search his eyes for any sign of what he might be feeling. There’s something delicate in his expression, a vulnerability that mirrors my own.

Whatever this is between us, it’s as confusing and overwhelming for him as it is for me. Our unspoken words hang between us like a heavy fog.

My nails dig into his shirt, twisting in the fabric as his arms bracket me against the wall, trapping me in his embrace. I can feel the heat of his body against mine, his presence consuming me in a way I never thought possible. There’s a sense of rightness in his touch, a connection that defies logic and reason. And as I look into his eyes, I know that whatever happens next, I’m powerless to resist the pull of this undeniable attraction.

Liam

Iknow I shouldn’t be doing this, that it’s all kinds of wrong, but at this moment, I can’t seem to fight my desire for her. With a flicker of hesitation, I lean in, my lips finding hers in a tentative kiss.

The sensation of her soft lips against mine sends an electric shock through my body. For a moment, time stands still. The sensation of our lips meeting is electrifying. I feel like I’ve been struck by lightning.

I can feel the warmth of her breath against my skin, the subtle hitch in her breath as our lips meld together.

I slide my tongue into her mouth, and she responds greedily.
