" His amethyst eyes dropped to her lips. “You want to know what I get out of it?”
Man, that voice of his was pure sex.
“Yes,” she breathed.
“I get to see you like you are now.”
“What…am I like?”
He brushed a finger down her cheek. “You’re flushed.”
His touch went over to her lips. “Your mouth is open because you’re thinking about me kissing you again.”
He went lower with that soft stroke, going down over her throat. “Your heart is pumping. I can see it in your vein here.”
He stopped between her breasts, his own mouth falling open and his fangs elongating. “If I keep on going, I think I’d find your nipples are hard, and I bet there are other signs you’re ready for me.” He leaned into her ear and whispered, “Are you ready for me, Ehlena?”
Holy. Shit.
