Death Magic Rules
Page 15
I closed my eyes. This was so messed up. I couldn’t do this. Could I? The heat of his body so close to mine was totally clouding my judgement. “Can’t we do this without magic?”
“We could,” he said. “But I want all of you. The magic is a part of you. It’s a part of me. It binds us together in deeper ways. We’re not like other humans. We’re more than that.”
I opened my eyes and he moved away. “Don’t leave,” I said, biting down on my lip as I realized how desperate I sounded. I wanted him and now he knew it.
“Relax,” he told me, picking up my champagne glass and handing me it. “I’m willing to wait. You want to make sure you understand. I want you to know what you’re getting into.”
I drained my glass. Eight would tell me he was smooth-talking me to get what he wanted. I looked at him as I put the glass down. I realised I didn’t care if he was only telling me what I wanted to hear. I was entitled to some fun. I smiled. “I know exactly what I’m getting in to.”
