"Do you have any idea what would happen if I claimed you right now?" His deep voice echoed, making me swallow hard.
"What do you mean?" I muanaged to ask, breathless and amazed that I could speak without stumbling over my words. Was he really going to claim me when I wasn't even his mate?
"It means that every part of you would be mine..." He replied, his voice low as he reached out, gently brushing his thumb against my lip.
"If any man dares to touch you... even just a fraction of how I do,"...

“Good.”
He flinches and his eyes melt to liquid gold as he studies me. "No. I'm not going to give you your escape."
"Then I’ll reject you!" I say, anger boiling in my gut.
He snatches my throat and sparks heat my flesh. "Do it and I will put you back in that prison and forget that you ever existed." He stare...
