Page 41 of Siren's Salvation

The cab's cramped, and I can feel the heat of her body pressed against mine.

It's torture, but the kind I could get used to.

I lean in close, my lips barely grazing her ear. "Bet you're enjoying yourself right now."

Siren rolls those hazel green eyes at me, but I catch the hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"You wish," she retorts, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

God, I love how she gives as good as she gets.

Most women I've been with either can't keep up or are too intimidated to try.

But Siren?

She's a force of nature, matching me blow for blow.

I can't resist pushing it further.

I lean in again, my voice dropping to a husky whisper. "Somehow, I think if Cobra was single and willing, you'd enjoy both of us taking you. Wouldn't you, my dirty little plaything?"

I pull back slowly, savoring the way her eyes widen.

For a moment, that blunt exterior cracks, and I can see the desire burning underneath.

Yeah, I'm turning her on, and we both know it.

"Fuck you, Shiver," she breathes, but there's no venom in it.

Just heat.

I grin, cocky as ever. "That's the idea, darlin'."

As Zane peels out of the parking lot, tires squealing,

I can't help but think about how different this is from my usual MO.

Normally, I keep things simple—get in, get off, get out.

With Siren, I want to take my time, to explore every inch of her.

To push her limits and see just how far she's willing to go.

The truck lurches as Zane takes a sharp turn, tires screeching.

My arm instinctively wraps around Siren's waist, steadying her.

She shoots me a look, half-annoyed, half-intrigued.

I wink, but my mind's already shifting gears.

"What's goin' on?" I bark at Zane, adrenaline starting to pump.

Something big's happening, and I need to know what we're rolling into.

Zane's eyes flick to the rearview mirror, his face tight with excitement. "Cheyenne and Grim caught Sassy on the edge of town. Grocery store parking lot."

"Sassy?" The name hits me like a sucker punch. "I thought we were here for Sally and Boomer."
