HERO: William Thorne-Demon, Lord, Nex Agent, Assassin.

HEROINE: Holly Evernight-Elemental, SOS Agent, inventor.

Kidnapped together over a year ago, Holly was forced to do the unthinkable and now William wants his pound of flesh. Anyway he can get it.

It was his steady stare and the tight unpleasant smile tugging at his lips.

Thorne walked into the center of the room. There, he turned to face her. He watched her as he grabbed hold of the lapels of his ruined jacket and opened it wide like an offering.

A lump filled her throat.

Thorne slipped free of his jacket and it fell to the floor in a muted thud. Moving with a languid sort of deliberation, he eased the braces off his shoulders. They slipped along the linen of his shirt sleeves with a soft hiss. Behind her, a log in the fire broke with a sharp crack. Holly clutched the back of the chair and remained caught in the snare of throne’s attention.

Oh, he knew what he was about. He wasn’t simply undressing. He was putting n a show . For her. As though they would tup soon. His eyes gleamed with rays of silver and black as he unbuttoned his shirt. Slowly. Each button , quietly coming undone and revealing more skin, more of him.

Holly glared. He smiled. And then he pulled the shirt overhead.

The silken strands of his hair settled about his shoulders, drawing attention to the breathe of them, to the way his waist narrowed to lean hips. His trousers hung ow, held up only by the jut of his hipbones and the bulge of his cock.

Gods and gadgets, she did not want to notice his cock. Heat swarmed over his skin like a fever. As if he heard her thoughts and sensed her reaction, he paused, and his nostrils flared. Humor lit his glaze as his smile grew crooked, almost smug.

“I’m covered. Your virtue is safe, Miss Evernight.”
