Both frustration and the exhilaration of a worthy challenge flooded my being, and I started looking forward to our exchange—thiswasfun.
Heat spread under my skin as Hannes’s muscles contracted with each action, and perspiration made his skin glisten. My attention went to his incredibly toned pecks, corded arms, thick thighs, and even those perfectly square eight-pack abs I couldn’t really see under the t-shirt…
Honestly, I could go on forever.
“Is it me, or is it getting hot in here?”
“It’s definitely not just you. He’s hawt,”Star agreed, throwing in a horny whine in there for good measure.
Goddess, she was right. He washawt.
Tension thickened in the air while the guys tried not to chuckle behind us with each of my failed attempts to get to Hannes, but I could still feel their amusement dancing between us.
They were next on my list.
“I mean, they did warn you it was pointless to fight me… on the count of me being innately bad-ass.”
Oh, it was decided. I was going to kill him. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow…
“He’s right. They did warn you.”Star added.
“Keep it up, and I’ll add you to my list too.”
She chuckled, and I almost smirked. I was half beginning to enjoy our banters. I guess Star wasn’t that bad after all.
“Damn it!” The curse slipped under my breath when my perfectly executed kick-jump-double-kick combination did absolutely nothing.
Nichts. Niente. Nada.
Flashing a few paces back to gain traction, I used my Vampir speed against Hannes and launched myself at him. Successfully landing on his shoulders and wrapping my thighs around his neck, I threw my body forward to flip him against the ground and pin him under me… nothing happened.
I tried and tried again, bouncing on his shoulders like an idiot with each attempt to flip him, but this fucking man was a mountain—unmovable.
“Am I the only one horny right now?”
She wasn’t, but I’d die before I told her that. All this sparring kind of felt like foreplay for some reason.
“Seriously?” I snapped, making him open his eyes, and I immediately regretted it.
His nostrils flared as he looked at my crotch perfectly set before his face from my struggle. Hannes scented me, and his sensually captivating gaze rose to meet mine.
“If you wanted my face between your legs, Natalia, all you had to do was ask.”
Heat deepened his gaze until it began glowing blue, which made my stomach dip with desire.
“Star, stop it!”
“Is not just me, you know? You crave him too!”
Before I could reply something clever, my surroundings spun.
“Aaah!” I screeched as my back suddenly slammed against the ground.
Hannes’s sexy, deliciously ripped body slowly descended on me, and he took his sweet time too—like a predator toying with his prey. The breath lodged in my throat as he held my wrists, lifting my arms above my head, and I watched him lower himself over me until I was firmly pinned down by his broad chest.
My breasts tingled with the contact even though there were stupid clothes between us.
Fuck.
