fingers. She looked up to find Victor’s hungry gaze on her.
    “You’re not afraid at all.”
    “No. If anything, I’m afraid of myself.”
    “Why?” He tilted his head.
    “How can…” She chewed her lip.
    “How can you want something like me?”
    She wanted to say it wasn’t like that, but she’d be lying if she did. “Yeah. I’m sorry. It’s not a nice thought, but there it is.”
    “It’s all right. If you get too grossed out, just tell me to stop.”
    Now it was a challenge. Claire pulled off her undershirt and tossed it away. “Enough talking.” She slid her hands up the hard muscles of his chest until she reached his shoulders and pulled him down for a kiss.
    Victor groaned into her mouth and pushed her until she lay on her back. He tugged at the fastenings of her pants and she helped him pull them off along with her shoes. Victor yanked off the blood-stained sweatpants he wore and Claire swallowed. He wasn’t wearing anything underneath. Staring at his cock made her mouth go dry. Then reality slammed into her. “Condoms. Oh shit.”
    “Yeah. I didn’t happen to bring any, and it sounds like you didn’t either.”
    “We can’t take any chances.” The pulsing ache between her legs protested.
    “That’s why I waited until dawn. More control.” He leaned over her.
    She pushed against his chest. “I’m not having sex without a condom.” And it was so damn disappointing.
    His wicked look made her fight against the urge to rub her thighs together for the friction. “No penetration, I promise. This is about me controlling myself while I make you come.”
    The little noise that came out of her might— might —have been a whimper. Claire leaned up to pull off her bra. “Then fucking touch me. I can’t stand it.”
    He laughed and leaned down to suck on one of her nipples. She moaned as he flicked and rolled his tongue over it. He slid one of his hands along the curve of her hip and settled himself beside her, their bodies touching. More, she wanted more. He licked a trail over to her other nipple and clamped down with his teeth. It wasn’t enough to break the skin, and besides, he’d said his bite wasn’t infectious. But still, that moment of fear combined with sharp pleasure made her gasp and arch. He tilted his head to look at her, his brown eye fixed on her as he kept his hold on her nipple and pulled. She gasped again, pure pleasure now. Victor trailed his fingers low across her stomach and she arched again, encouraging him. When his hand went no lower, she reached down to take his wrist.
    Victor lifted his head, one eyebrow raised. She pulled his hand down to trail through her pubic hair and… there . She pushed his hand down against her clit and rocked her hips. He rubbed at her with his middle finger and she let his hand go.
    “Oh, that,” he said in a rumbling voice. “I was thinking something like this.” He slid a finger inside her.
    “ Oh God ,” she moaned. This was wrong in so many ways, but she didn’t want it to stop. She wanted more, and the little spark of fear that Victor might get out of control only made it more exciting. He thrust inside her, slow and steady, watching her with those mismatched eyes. Another finger slipped inside her and she moaned again. His fingers were hot, every place his skin touched her was hot. She leaned up slightly on her elbows, thrusting back against him.
    He kissed the inside of one thigh, then the other, barely more than a soft brush of lips. His hot breath puffed against her as he kissed just below her belly button, then on each side of her hips. Claire couldn’t take much more of the teasing. As good as his fingers felt, she wanted his mouth on her. A dangerous mouth, teeth that could grow sharp and tear her apart. But Victor wouldn’t do that, she trusted that he wouldn’t hurt her, not deliberately. Everything about him at this moment was careful and controlled. He kissed the inside of her thigh again, just as gentle and
