races, and my head swims. I stand on rocky feet and I move for her.
“Wait,” she gasps quietly. “I’m…”
She looks up at me.
“I’m not my father,” she says in a whisper.
“Who are you?”
“Catalina.”
Fuck, the way her name rolls of her tongue and lips like honey—like tequila and smoke and sex.
“Catalina Del Campo,” she says softly.
“You should run,” I growl.
“Would you chase me?”
“Maybe.”
She shivers. “I’m… I’m not scared of you.”
I smile thinly, my pulse pounding as my eyes drink her in. I can still smell her, too, and being this close to her is… distracting. Dangerous. Volatile.
“You should be,” I growl.
“Would you hurt me?”
My brow scowls, and I don’t even have to think.
“No,” I hiss.
“Why not?” she says in a strong but shaky voice.
My jaw tightens.
“My father keeps you in a cage. Why wouldn’t you hurt me when you have the chance to?”
“You aren’t your father,” I growl.
“And you aren’t supposed to be able to talk.”
“I don’t much.”
“Why—” she gasps as I step into her, pushing her backwards with my sheer size until I pin her to the wall, and her breath catches. She looks up at me with fear and something wild in her eyes, but she doesn’t scream. She could, and I bet I’d be dead before I made it three feet. But she doesn’t.
“Are you the monster people say you are?” she breathes, panting as she looks way up into my piercing gaze. Her eyes are crystal blue, like a tropical lagoon, and I realize I’m just fucking staring into them.
“Do you think I am?”
She slowly shakes her head, her big, wide blue eyes never leaving mine. “No.”
“And if you’re wrong?”
“It’ll be the last mistake I ever make,” she says tightly. “But I don’t think I am.”
“That’s a dangerous gamble.”
“Maybe,” Catalina rakes her teeth over her bottom lip, and my pulse quickens. “Why are you talking now?”
I growl lowly.
“You know why.”
She shivers.
“Me?”
I nod.
“Why?”
“Because you’re the only goodness I’ve seen in years.”
Nine words. I’m a fucking orator now.
“Because you’re the only beauty and warmth I’ve seen in a long, long fucking time,” I hiss, the words coming out rough and edged. “Because I saw you last night, and I knew one thing.”
She swallows, her breath catching as those gorgeous blue pools of her eyes widen.
“What?”
“That you’d be mine.”
My hands slide over her waist, and my blood ignites like burning diesel fuel. For the very first time, I’m touching her, and I know I’m lost. I know I’d walk through fire, through bullets, through the devil himself to get to her. I groan, and when her breath catches so sweetly, I growl as I lean way down into her. One hand moves up to cup her jaw tight, and without wasting another second of my broken, borrowed-time life, I lean in.
And I kiss her.
Hard.
Chapter Four
Catalina
Fire blazes through me, and I gasp as his lips brutally sear to mine. It’s like kissing a force of nature—a gorgeous, sexy as sin, panty-meltingly hot force of nature. He growls like a wild animal into my lips, pressing me hard to the wall as I gasp for air.
My body shivers, my head spins. My thighs tighten, and I moan.
There’s been some sneaky, stolen kisses here and there over the years. But this? This is something else. This compared to other kisses I’ve had is like comparing a nuclear missile to a paper airplane. This is a typhoon versus a swimming pool.
His big hands slide over my waist, and they’re so big they literally touch around my waist. I gasp at just how huge he is, and how much a force of nature he is. I mean he could snap me in two, easily, with his bare freaking hands. But somehow, I’m not scared, or maybe I am. But it’s not enough to send me running, it’s just enough to light a fire inside of me hotter than anything I’ve ever experienced.
His hands tighten on me, and his lips part. His tongue seeks mine, and I whimper as I give him what he wants. I know he could take anything he wanted from me. And that thought has me shivering. Right here, right now, he could literally do whatever he wanted to me, but somehow, for whatever reason, I don’t think he would.
That said, in this moment, I think I’d give him anything he wanted.
Anything.
My entire body is on fire, electric with the urge for more and this wild desire I’ve never felt before. Energy buzzes over my skin, electrifying my nipples into aching points
