Lorraine nodded. “That’s a good idea.”

Rowan gave me a pointed look. The breeze was more magic than it was the promise of a storm, but Lorraine didn’t know that, and I wanted to get her back in the cabin before nightfall. I wanted to get away from her before I did something stupid. Before I let my body take over, and my mind get high on the sexual desire that rolled off her in waves.

We walked back through the trees. I was hyperaware of Lorraine by my side, of every little movement she made—from the way she carefully scraped her hair out of her face, licked her lips, and rolled them to the way she drummed her fingers lightly against her thigh as we walked.

Her chest rose and fell with the exertion. I glanced at the delicate skin on her chest, the swells of her breasts.

I wanted to lick a trail down her chest and between her breasts.

I could sense her arousal grow as we walked, and she glanced at me.

It took everything I had to quash the need for her. I couldn’t be with her, not like that. I had my pick of the litter with any dryad in the vale. I had to stay away from the human.

By the time we reached the cabin, the magic was so strong in the air, it felt like water on my skin. I could drag my fingers through it. My body was strung tightly, and at any moment, I felt like I would snap. I was wired, ready to take her and fuck her.

I opened the door for Lorraine, and she stepped into the cabin. I didn’t trust myself to follow.

She turned to face me. “You’re not coming?”

I shook my head. Gods, if I followed her now, there would be no stopping what would follow.

“I have a few things to take care of,” I said. “I’ll be back.”

She nodded slowly. “I’ll see you later, then.”

I swallowed hard and nodded. Her eyes locked on mine, and for a moment, I was on the cusp of falling into them. I leaned forward. I wanted to kiss her. I needed to be with her.

Stop it!

I grabbed the doorknob. “Good night,” I said. “I’ll make sure you’re safe tonight.”

She nodded and licked her lips again. I wanted to kiss those lips, to nibble on them. I wanted her on her knees in front of me, those lips wrapped around my cock and her big green eyes rolling upward to look at me. I wanted?—

I pulled the door shut, then forced myself to turn around and march away. I forced away images of her on her back beneath me, writhing, screaming my name.

I ignored images my lust conjured up of her on top of me, hands on my chest, her blond hair falling over her shoulders in a waterfall as she bucked her hips back and forth.

When I stepped over the boundary, I could finally breathe easier. The desperate lust faded.

Rowan chuckled from somewhere just beyond the trees.

“What?” I snapped.

“I’ve never seen you this worked up. I swear you would have fucked her right there between the trees if you waited any longer to get her back.”

I grunted, irritated. “I didn’t, did I?”

“You’re a bigger man than me, that’s for damn sure.”

I adjusted my pants, trying to accommodate my erection. Fuck, would this thing just calm down? I didn’t know what it was about Lorraine, but this was out of control.

“So, this is the new interest, huh?” Rowan asked.

“She’s not an interest.”

“No? Seemed to me like you were on fire with her.”

I huffed. “She’s not an interest. She’s just… I’m protecting her.”
