skimmed her
breasts, moved up to frame her face. "And I hunger for the taste of you. I want
to bring you more fully into my world."
    She turned her face up to nuzzle his throat. "Do you know what I am?" She
kissed the hollow of his throat, her hands sliding possessively over his body.
Stroking his flat stomach and kissing her way along his chest. Her hands
caressed his penis, shaping and teasing and memorizing the long line of him.
"I'm jaguar. A shape-shifter. Are you certain I am what you want?"
    Riordan answered her in the only way he could. His body was sensitized and
reacting with more demands. His incisors lengthened as his penis did. He bent
his head and buried his teeth in the pulse beating so strongly in her neck.
    She cried out, threw her head back and circled his neck with her arms,
pressing her body closer to his. He had not used his tongue to prepare her for
the shock of the connection, but Juliette felt it only as white-hot heat
coursing through her bloodstream, as whips of lightning lashed every nerve
ending into a sexual frenzy.
    He held her possessively, his hands tender, but commanding, shifting her so
that the tips of her breasts rubbed against his chest and her hair was out of
the way. So that his straining groin pressed against her soft belly.
You
taste like an exotic fruit, tangy and spicy and hot. I wonder what you'll taste
like when I crawl between your legs and drink my fill there
.
    Her entire body clenched. She closed her eyes and pressed closer to him. She
wanted everything from him, with him. She wanted it all.
    His tongue swept across the pinpricks on her neck. His hand circled her
throat, his thumb tipping up her face so that she was compelled to look into his
eyes.
See what I taste like
. He commanded it in a purring, velvet
voice, so mesmerizing she half fell into a dream. Riordan opened a line with a
sharp fingernail, caught the back of her head in his palm and pressed her face
forward until her mouth was pressed to the heavy muscles of his chest, just
above his heart. She could feel it beating, accelerating as her lips moved over
his skin, as she drew his dark gift into her body.
    He brought her out of her enthrallment when she had taken enough for their
second exchange, his mouth ravishing hers. He could kiss her forever, over and
over and never get enough. Their mouths clung, tongues tangling wildly. Abruptly
he pulled away, scowling at her. There was an ominous danger to his smoldering
gaze.
    "What?"
    "Do not
what
me. You were thinking of another man."
    Juliette ran her tongue over her bottom lip. "I was not thinking of another
man. I merely thought I'd never been with a man as sexy as you. There's a
difference."
    His hand circled her bare arm, brought her close to him. "You have been with
another man."
    "Jaguars are sexual creatures, Riordan. We need sex at times." She leaned
forward and lapped at his chest, right above his heart. "Why should that bother
you?"
    "Juliette, we are bound together. I would know if you had sex with another
man. You could not hide it from me."
    "I wouldn't try to hide it from you." She pushed at the wall of his chest but
he was a rock, and even with her unusual strength, she couldn't move him.
    "I would kill him."
    "Why would you kill him? He isn't the one bound to you."
    "Exactly." Riordan turned away from her, a black anger he didn't understand
enveloping him. To cool off, he waded into the pool and looked back at her. She
stood there with the moonlight spilling over her luscious body, her expression a
mixture of amusement and exasperation. She was so beautiful he hurt just looking
at her. "I am not human, Juliette and you can never think for one moment that I
am. I am a predator and I will protect what is mine."
    "Did I say I wanted another man? No! I was thinking no one else could compare
with you. I was
not
thinking I wanted someone else. How could I, after
what we just shared? Are you going to be an idiot and act
