She’d better be trying to seduce me.
Because if she isn’t…
But if she is—
I push off the bed, at her side in an instant.
You
Your heart is racing. Was this a bad idea?
Is he going to turn you down?
Will he ask what you’re doing?
Are you about to embarrass the hell out of yourself?
After all, without any warning, you just walked out of that shower dressed head-to-toe in the wildest thing you’ve ever worn.
Possibly even wilder than that bikini.
You’ve got on black, strappy heels, a matching lacy bra and thong, and—perhaps the best part—a garter belt complete with sexy, criss-crossed straps across your middle.
You even put on a pair of never-before-worn lace-topped lingerie stockings to match the garter belt.
You’ve never worn something like this before.
For anyone.
You bought it months ago on a particularly-inebriated night of daring online shopping. And then you promptly tucked it away in the back of your closet, wondering what the hecking heck you were thinking when you purchased it.
Until now.
Instead of trying to explain to Ziros how exactly you intend to free him, you’ve decided just toshowhim.
After all, showing is better than telling, right?
Okay, so maybe that’s not always the case.
But it’s too late to go back now.
One moment Ziros is lying on the bed. Toned abs. No shirt, just sweatpants.
And you swear you see a certain, uh,shapein those sweatpants.
Or maybe that’s just a trick of the light.
The next, he’s got you cornered against the wall, one hand braced on the wall beside your head.
With the other, he takes your jaw, tilting your face up toward his as he leans in close and growls in your ear…“What the hell are you wearing, human?”
You freeze. “Do you…do you not like it?”
His laugh is low and dangerous.
“No, human. That’s not it at all.” And before you understand what’s happening, you feel the sharp points of his fangs pressing at the base of your neck, making you gasp. “I sure hope…” he growls against your skin, his voice strained like he’s fighting hard as he pushes himself away. “Human. You’d better be trying to seduce me.”
“Does that mean it’s working?”
