Jade met Cillian's alluring, chocolate-brown eyes, finding them heavy with challenge and desire, and a reckless urge to tease him flared in her chest.
A slow, wicked smile touched her lips.
In a flash, she twisted her body, attempting to scramble off the edge of the mattress.
But Cillian had reached the absolute end of his patience. His hand shot out like a striking viper, wrapping around her ankle and yanking her back across the sheets.
Before she could process the movement, he was over her, trapping both of her hands above her head in a vice-like grip, making her gasp in surprise at his terrifyingly inhuman speed.
He lowered himself until his handsome face was mere inches from hers.
His voice dropped to a deep, rich whisper. "I told you I'd make you regret taunting this demon, didn't I, Jade?"
The feral intensity in his eyes made her realise she was about to suffer the consequences of pushing him too far.
