His face lost all humor and she was pinned by the intensity of his stare. Her eyes wandered
over his exotic, hard features, and she was once again entranced by the pattern of tiny bumps
on his skin.

on his skin.
Hesitantly, like she was afraid he wouldn’t allow it, she reached for his cheek. His skin was
hot under her fingertips but also smooth, the texture thicker than a human’s, but warm and
pleasant. Her fingertips slid along his jaw with its myriad of tiny bumps, their formation so
close and forming swirls so intricate, it was almost like a tattoo.

Kamal’s eyes gleamed and his body was unmoving. He was watching her in silence, allowing

“What are those?” Aliena asked.
“An Eok earns his warrior status by marking his body. I only stopped to spare my father’s
record.”

Understanding came, fast and shocking. Those patterns, intricate and wonderful, were created
by blood and blade, through an amount of pain she could not even comprehend. She pulled her
hand away but Kamal caught her wrist.

“Such fragility.” He examined her hand under the moonlight. “Such beauty.”
“Let me go.”
Aliena pulled but her hand was a prisoner. Kamal’s eyes locked with hers, and he tugged her
closer, forcing her hand to flatten against his cheek again.

“An Eok warrior learns to master pain.” He turned his head slightly and a kiss landed just at
the base of her wrist, creating an electric current of arousal down her entire body. “One has
to master pain if one wants to conquer pleasure, wouldn’t you agree?”

“I wouldn’t know,” she forced herself to answer, even though her throat was closed and her
heart beat like a crazed animal between her ribs. “Pain isn’t one of my pastimes.”

Kamal’s lips stretched in a predatory grin, exposing his fangs, and a hand closed on the
small of her back, pulling her closer into his male heat. His breath caressed her lips, his
eyes imprisoning her like a blanket of lead.

His mouth closed on hers with purpose. It laid waste to everything she thought she knew,
to everything she ever thought she wanted. This kiss was a claim, a brand on her very soul.

Kamal took possession of her mouth, his tongue sliding in and out, rubbing over hers, filling
it with his taste, his scent. Her tongue answered, responding automatically. She slid it over
the sharp tips of his fangs and a tangy taste tickled her taste buds. A rush of adrenaline and
heat spread inside her body and she moaned into his mouth.

Kamal’s hands slid to her ass and he pressed her against his erection, hard and large under
his pants. One hand slid to her front, cupping her small breast through the heavy layer of
clothing. Unable to resist the sudden surge of lust, Aliena’s hand ran down Kamal’s perfectly
muscled chest, then lower, along the flat of his stomach.

She held his erection, squeezing lightly.
Kamal broke the kiss, and locked gazes with her.
