ZARA

The thing was… his words didn’t sound like a threat. They sounded like a seductive promise. Obsessive dangerous, yes. But protective all the same. Because nothing he’d said suggested I would be the one in danger.

Anyone else who stood in their way?

Maybe.

But not me.

That was a heady, powerful fucking feeling.

“What about me, Zara? What will I do to you if you miss my heart and I live, hmm?”

His eyes flicked to the knife in my hand, that lazy smile returning. “I told you earlier. I punish brats.” His gaze dragged back up to mine, gold burning bright again. “Or is that your plan? Provoke me just to see how this plays out.”

My fingers wrapped around the knife’s handle without any real intent behind it. The blade hung useless at my side.

“I’ll be honest, Zara. I’m starting to think you just want my attention.” He tilted his head slightly. “Well. You have it. Now what?”

1 gripped the edge of the kitchen island with my other hand to steady myself. I was so stunned speechless I didn’t know what to say.

“This is the part where you run away, little mate. Go back to the safety of Malachi’s room before I do something we both regret.”

His chin dipped as he looked at me through his lashes, gold burning brighter. A chill skated down my spine.

“Are you just trying to scare me?” I pointed the blade at him.

He studied me like he didn’t quite know what to do with my reaction.

A normal person would be terrified of me. A sane person would have run away screaming the moment they realized who I was.”

“Yeah, well… I never claimed to be normal, Dorian”

I put just enough emphasis on his name to make it a challenge

His law flexed. That devious thrill returned, ghosting up and down my spine like a live wire Watching his control teeter was like a bit of heroin.

Chapter 383 A Death Wish

“Don’t push me.

The rough edge in his voice slid down my spine, heat following right behind it. Instead of sending me running, it pulled me closer. My traitorous mouth reacted before my brain could catch up.

“Why not? Can’t handle losing control for one second?”

“Zara

My name in his mouth was low and edged-a feral warning wrapped in heat. The challenge shot through me, reckless and dizzying, my pulse pounding hard enough to make my fingers tremble around the knife.

“If you want me to run away screaming, you’re going to have to make me.”

That did it.

His eyes darkened. Gold sharpening.

The shift in him was immediate, A predator deciding to engage instead of warn. Lightning flashed, throwing sharp shadows across his angular face. He pushed off the counter and took one slow step toward me. Shoulders tense. Chin tipped down. Eyes locked on mine. Feral. Predatory. And completely in control of it.

That wouldn’t do.

He didn’t want to lose control. I wanted to push him over the edge.

“Careful, little mate. The danger in his voice made my pulse kick harder.

This was the deadliest game of chicken I had ever played. Self-preservation had officially left the building

“Or what, Dorian? Are you going to punish me like you said? Or are you too afraid?”

The air between us tightened, pressure building in my lungs. The hairs on my arms stood on end, but I didn’t back down. I held his gaze. His eyes flashed gold again, brighter this time. His nostrils flared slightly, like he was tracking every breath I took.

Like he could smell exactly how much I wanted him.

“Are you taunting a vampire, Zara?” He began to circle around the island.

I stepped back instinctively, keeping the counter between us.

Fuck. Maybe this was a bad idea. My mouth went dry. The knife shook in my grip as I lifted it higher between us.

“That knife won’t stop me. I could take it from you before you even realized I moved”

He took another step. I mirrored him. We continued that slow dance around the kitchen, his eyes burning

into mine,

“I could compel you. Make you give yourself to me. Or I could compel you to run…and enjoy the chas

He stopped then, standing between me and the exit. The feral look in his eyes was wicked as hell,

“If I have a taste of you, I might not be able to stop. Not even if you change your mind halfway through

Step.

“I don’t care. I want this.”

Step.
