Chapter 2

MAIRI’S EYES FLEW OPEN.

She tried to push Drake away instinctively, but still he kissed her, his lips moving expertly over hers, knowing exactly what to do to weaken her defenses and make her body respond.

“Are you thinking you’re betraying Damen with this kiss?” Drake whispered against her lips.

The words had her freezing, her fists trapped between their bodies.

Slowly, he lifted his head so their eyes could meet. “You keep telling me that you’re over him, Mairi. But are you really? Would you be able to prove it?”

He caressed her cheek with his knuckles. “Your body is yours to give and I want it. I won’t take you tonight but I want to give you pleasure – I want to make you come.”

The heat in his eyes made her swallow, and when his hand moved to cup her breast Mairi gasped, stunned at the way her body was reacting to his touch.

“This is your choice, Mairi. If you give me your body, if you just let me please you, the next time you look at Damen Leventis, he will know that you have truly moved on and that he is no longer the master of your body.”

He squeezed her breast and she jerked, his touch taking her by surprise once more. But more than that, it was how her breast seemed to swell against his hand that made Mairi want to cry. This didn’t feel right...but it shouldn’t feel wrong either.

She closed her eyes.

Immediately she saw him in her mind.

Damen Leventis.

Dark. Beautiful. Powerful.

And cold, so, so, so cold as he threw her out of his house – out of his life.

“Get out of my fucking house, you gold-digging bitch.”

And the vileness...the sheer vileness in his eyes as he looked at Mairi like he regretted every damn second he had spent in her company.

“Go back to Manolis. He can have my leftovers...”

A tear slipped from her eye, but before she could wipe it with her fingers, Drake had already bent down and licked it away.
