Excerpt:
“Vivian has me on the day shift for
the duration of our time together, so my evenings will
be free.”
“For whatever I need?” His voice
was pitched lower, the sound almost a physical caress along her skin.
She leveled her best disapproving
look at Kieran and crossed her arms. “So, is this what normally works for you?
A dash of charm and all the women trip over themselves to get to you?”
Instead of withering under her
stare, Kieran merely curled his lips into an amused smile. “Usually.”
“Well, it won’t work on me.” Kieran
leaned closer, crowding into her space. “It has to, my witch. When my pack is
watching, you need to look at me like I’m the only one in the world for you.”
“I can be a fine actress, thank you
very much. I won’t give us away.”
He snorted. “I haven’t known you
long, but even I know you can’t lie to save your life.”
She blinked at the words. It was
true she’d never been very gifted at deception, but that wasn’t an insight
she’d expected him to have—not
based on their limited relationship. Unease tugged at her as she realized
Kieran saw more than she intended him to. It was so easy to write him off as a
spoiled playboy, she tended to forget he was much more than that.
The man before her ran a powerful,
dangerous pack with an iron fist. He’d weathered challenges to his leadership
and threats from intruders. If she ripped open his shirt she had no doubt she’d
see scars from his many battles marring his golden skin. She needed to remember
Kieran wasn’t a man to be trifled with.
He was a predator, and she very
much wanted to avoid being prey.
“I wouldn’t have agreed to this
charade if I wasn’t confident I could do it,” she said, swallowing hard.
Kieran moved, trapping her between
his arms as he gripped the railing on either side of her body.
“You can’t jump when I touch you,”
he breathed against her ear. “You can’t look at me like a wayward schoolboy in
need of a reprimand.” He drew back enough to meet her gaze. “We’re supposed to
be lovers. There wouldn’t be a single inch of your skin I wouldn’t have run my
lips over.”
Heat suffused her face.
“There, you see? You blush when I’m
close.”
“I don’t,” she denied, lifting her
chin.
Kieran snorted. “People will take
one look at us and know we’re pretending. If we’d really been lovers for
months, there’s no way you’d still look so goddamn innocent.”
“Maybe I’d teach you a thing or two
instead. Ever think of that, wolf boy?”
A chuckle rumbled from his wide
chest. “Witchling, if you ever want to try and teach me something new in the
bedroom, I promise I’ll be a most
diligent student.”
Her cheeks were on fire despite her
desire to remain unaffected by Kieran. He was right, damn him, she needed to
stop acting like a giddy teen when he touched her.
“I’ll work on it,” she growled,
pushing at him to force him back. “By tomorrow I’ll be ready.”
About the author:
Victoria Davies’s passion for writing started young. Luckily she had a family who encouraged believing in magic and embracing imagination. From stories quickly scribbled in diaries, her love of storytelling developed. Since then her characters may have evolved and her plots may have grown decidedly more steamy but she never lost her love of the written word. Writing is not only a way to silence the wonderful voices in her head, but it also allows her to share her passions with her readers.
Currently she writes from Toronto, Canada. While she has a healthy love for the unknown, this corner of the world will always be her home.
