As her eyes panned his body a second time, he felt his damaged tentacles moving beneath the skin. A dull ache running through the scar tissue.

What was this girl doing to him?

He shifted to ease the tension, sank back some more vodka and then, looking around, saw a bevy of monsters heading toward them with intent in their eyes.

Her eyes followed his gaze. “Shit. I’m out of here,” she muttered, and to his dismay she turned and darted toward the back exit of the club.

He should stay. Meet and greet and show himself off to the cameras.

This girl would only lead him into trouble. Big trouble.

Kai slammed down his glass and followed her.

CHAPTER 6

Glancing back, Luna’s pulse sped up as she saw him gaining on her.

She hadn’t necessarily expected him to follow her. Yeah, okay, she’dhopedhe would. But honestly, she’d thought he’d stay and preen in front of all those fans.

Just like stupid vain Acha.

She darted down a narrow side alley and sure enough, he followed. She slammed her back into a doorway and stood breathing heavily, hearing Kai’s footsteps getting closer.

Was she going to do this? Was she?

Goddess, this was lunacy. But then she reasoned, it would be a great way to find out his weaknesses.

He wanted to fuck her.

She wanted to fuck him.

And she could use that to gain an advantage on him.

She may not know how to fight a kraken in the games, not yet, but she knewthisgame. The hunt, the play at being caught, the pretense that she was being taken by the big bad beast, when really, she was the hunter, he the prey.

As Kai strode past, she darted out and grabbed the back of his shirt. Hauled him into the doorway.

As he swiveled to face her, she transferred her grip to his chest, twisting the material in her fist, bringing him close, registering the heat of his body against hers as she gazed up at him.

“Hey you,” she panted as her hands circled his waist. She registered his hard-on against her flesh with a shiver of anticipation.

“Hey you,” he breathed back, eyes dazed with lust, sensual lips parted.

Without another word, Luna put her hands on his shoulders, hooked her legs around his and climbed him like a kitten scaling a tree. Immediately his hands laced under her butt, and that was invitation enough to press her hot seam into the rigid bulge in his pants. Power surged through her as his grip tightened around her butt cheeks and he let out a husky groan. He was so damn strong, holding her was no effort for him at all.

His breath ragged, his skin flushed dark, his long-slanted eyes glittering—gods, he was fuckinghot.

She panted, “Kiss me.”

Her face now level with his, she clung on, and his beautiful mouth hovered. Fiercely, she nipped his full lower lip with her teeth, and he pushed back, nuzzled her mouth with the softness of his, his breath hot and sweet and slightly salty. Like the sea, Luna thought as lust crashed through her. His tongue ventured thick and smooth into her mouth. She bit that too. He growled a low laugh, exploring deeper, letting his tongue tangle deliciously with hers.

The playfulness of it surprised her. She pulled back, mesmerized by those wide, full lips, glistening from their kisses.

With a groan he dived back for more. Now he nippedherlower lip with sharp teeth. Sucked it into his mouth and soothed it.Suction. Oh, he was good at it, Luna decided as her pussy clenched.

Mouth play with a kraken was something else. What the fuck could he do with his tentacles?

Breathing hard, pushing against his body with her pelvis, they rocked together, the only sound their panting breaths, and the slurp of their kisses. Maybe they’d stay exploring each other’s mouths, her pussy teetering on the brink of release until finally they’d fuck, right here in this doorway. She could just unzip him and ride that big juicy kraken cock of his, right now.
