NEW Excerpt (8-15-08):
Aja flipped off the light, but left the door cracked, in the event Maylar needed her in the middle of
the night. She found Christian in her bedroom, sitting on the bed, his elbows resting on his knees.
His dark green eyes followed her as she entered the room and crossed to the closet. She stepped
inside and changed into a nightgown. She removed her makeup and jewelry in the adjoining
bathroom then returned. Christian's gaze did not waver--she felt it on her the entire time.
Aja's insides were twisted. She stood in front of Christian, knowing she had to find some excuse as
to why he couldn’t stay with her tonight. He reached for her hand and pulled her to him so that she
was wedged between his powerful thighs. Her heart fluttered as his hands held her hips, keeping her
in place. He leaned forward and his mouth grazed her stomach. The thin material of her nightgown
seemed to not even exist as his touch seared her skin.
Aja's fingers twined in his thick, lush hair as his mouth moved higher. His tongue flicked over a hard
nipple. Aja bit back a moan. She needed to stop Christian from going any further. She needed to tell
him the threat Draken made against them. She needed... Christian.
He eased back onto the bed, pulling her down on top of him. Heat and desire coursed through every
inch of her. Christian grabbed fistfuls of her nightgown and raised it up to her waist. His hands
moved under the silk and caressed her bare skin. His mouth, warm and greedy, slid over her neck
and collarbone. She felt his erection pressed against her and longed to have him inside her.
"Christian," she whispered. She knew she had to put an end to this, but couldn't find the strength
to do it. Her hands roamed his hard chest, her fingers worked the buttons on his shirt. His skin was
warm and his breath came in hard pulls. He nipped at her neck, his fangs grazing her sensitive flesh.
Aja felt a wave of excitement wash over her. He rolled her onto her back and settled between her
parted legs. She pushed the dark blue material over his shoulders and down his arms. He wiggled
out of his shirt and her hands continued to explore the smooth flesh and taut muscles.
Christian let out a low groan. His hands cupped her breasts and Aja was lost.
"I love you," she whispered. “So much.”
His mouth moved down to the tight centers of her breasts. "I love you, too, Aja." He laved a nipple
with his tongue, sending exquisite jolts of electricity directly to the heart of her.
"I want you, Christian. More than ever," she panted. "Desperately."
"I'm all yours, sweetheart."
"And I belong to you, Chris. Only to you. Forever."
He lifted his head and his eyes locked with hers. A slow grin spread across his lips. But in a
heartbeat, his eyes clouded and he jumped off the bed.
"What the hell?" he hissed. His hands clutched at his head and he closed his eyes tightly.
Aja's breath caught. She knew exactly what had just happened. Christian shook his head violently,
as though attempting to shake out the mental images and sounds. She knew what plagued him.
He let out a low curse then dropped his hands. His eyes flew open and he glared at her. He let out a
sharp, primal growl.
"Chris," Aja said in a tentative voice. She climbed off the bed and went to him. She gripped his
upper arms and held his gaze. "Listen to me. I can explain."
His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. "Explain what, Aja?"
"What you just saw. It's my fault. I should have stopped you sooner. I'm so sorry." Christian's
muscles tensed beneath her fingertips.
"What the hell is going on, Aja?"
She swallowed hard. "It's Draken. He's torturing you because I disobeyed him..."
