“That’s enough!” The three of us stop moving around on the ground and look up at her. There are unshed tears in her eyes and I don’t know who they are for. “Ezra, Erik, let’s go,” she says before she gives me one last look. “I’m so sorry.” Then she flings open the door and storms out.
“Wait, Ravana,” one of them calls out as the other looks back at me from the doorway.
“You stay the fuck away from my sister.” At the word sister the biggest smile breaks out on my face. “Are you crazy?”
“Nope, just glad I don’t have to kill the two of you to get to her,” I say as I get up on my knees. “Don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll meet again.” I wink at him before he’s out the door and chasing after the other two.
I flex my arms and the cable they used to tie my hands breaks. I rub my wrists as I stand up and then I shake my head. Damn, those two could put up a fight. But I had the need for her on my side and that made me stronger. The kiss was worth it and I hated that it ended so soon.
A cold feeling surrounds me, and her presence is gone. It didn’t take me long to figure out where she was going and to be here ready. I know where she lives and I think about waiting until sunrise to pay her a visit. That way she has nowhere to go and I’ll be able to find out what this strange pull to her is. It’s consuming and unlike anything I’ve ever felt. It’s like tracking, but in the end I don’t want to kill her, I want to worship her.
Chapter 5
Ravana
I sit in the back of the limo, going over what happened. Even as I recall every detail it’s like my mind can't process it. Every part of me feels like I’m on overload and I want to cry. But the worst part is that I can’t even pinpoint if I’m angry or sad.
The most overwhelming part is how I’m so infatuated with some bossy alpha jerk. I can’t believe I let him kiss me. I hadn’t even tried to stop him when he gave me an out, and I stood there and let him do it. Then just a second later I was enraged at the twins for hurting him. It’s like my body couldn’t make up its mind and all I could do was get emotional.
An anger like nothing I’d ever felt washed over me when I thought they were beating him up. I had to stop myself from lunging at them. My only saving grace was that Valen took it all in stride and didn’t seem scared of the two of them. That cocky attitude never missed a beat even with his hands bound behind his back. I don’t want to admit to myself how freaking hot that was.
I glance over at the twins and they, too, look to be on edge. “I can kiss whoever I want.” The words leave my lips before I have a chance to rein them in. What the hell is wrong with me?
“He was going for more than a kiss. He was manhandling you.”
I let Ezra’s words sink in because he’s right. The bigger question is, why did I like it? There’s no hiding his desire for me and no game being played. He was there and in my space telling me what he wanted. He wasn’t forcing himself onto me but dragging out the thoughts in my head as if he could read my mind.
“Take me home,” I mutter. I want to be alone and get myself together. “And you two better keep your mouths shut about tonight.” I point my finger at them. Neither respond, giving me no idea if they will keep it a secret or not. The twins might be the most easy-going out of all of us, but at the end of the day they all act like overbearing big brothers. “What was with you two tonight anyway? You went a little haywire before I went to the bathroom.”
I glance between the two of them and there’s something different. I was actually a little shocked when they let me wander off to the bathroom alone. I’d locked eyes with Valen and I’ll never forget the way it made me feel. That’s when I decided to try and sneak off by myself just to see what would happen. His stare was dark and intense and I swear it felt like I’d been created all over again when he looked at me. At first I thought he was a vampire with how big and beautiful he was. There was something about him I couldn't put my finger on, but I wanted to know more. I also wanted to know if the things I was feeling were because of him. But the second he laid his lips on mine, I knew he was the root of everything happening to me. I haven't been kissed since before I was turned, so maybe any man would feel that way. There’s only one way to be sure.
