So wrong.
But this isn’t the time to argue.
I give myself to the kiss, taking the Sentinel’s super-heated poison and offering everything I have to cool him down and pull him back from the abyss.
It works.
Skin to skin, mouth to mouth, my guiding ability is at its strongest, but I have so much work ahead.
I’ll love every second if it feels likethis.
Like nothing else exists.
No complications.
No engagements.
No fake promises.
Just me and him, trading pure sensations between our souls.
When I tear away, gasping and limp, he lifts me like I’m nothing and casually hooks my thighs around his hips.
The swirls of pink in his red eyes remind me of lava lamps.
Trippy.
I can feel the shift in his thoughts that says his logic is mostly back. He should be human enough to speak in more than growls.
“What’s your name, Sentinel?” I ask, trying to stay professional.
It’s hard to pretend when the crotch of my jeans is already riding his cock.
“I’m Vhex.” He shoots me a sharp, sweet smile—all razor blades in cotton candy.“You call me husband.”
My heart skips an alarmed beat.
What in the misguidedfuck?
Before I can bring Vhex back to reality, he steals another savage kiss.
He bites my tongue and pumps me full of molten magic.
My silks jolt as his soul hooks mine andtugs.
I see red.
The crazy bastard is trying to imprint me.
CHAPTER2
VHEX
I’mon fire and falling a-fucking-part.
Everything burns.
My nerves twist in smoking ropes.
