He cupped her face in his hands, crushing his lips into hers. Angry and raw after all these months, he couldn__ hold himself back any longer. It wasn__ gentle or sweet. It was powerful and full of need. A quiet moan escaped from her throat, inciting another rushing wave of desire through him. Her lips parted, inviting his tongue inside her mouth.

Mate. He__ told Hayden he would stick to his routine. That meant watching the game at her apartment on Sunday and maintaining their friendship. His logical mind fought against his growing urges. Last night, he couldn__ have a simple conversation without touching her. And she didn__ make things any easier. He could smell the desire pouring out of her. It took every ounce of his self-control to hold himself back. At times, it was painful. __ know what I__ doing. I__e got the situation under control._ Cam laughed. __ike you did yesterday? Dude, we both know it__ only going to get worse. You__e like a ticking sex bomb._ Deep down, Kaden knew he was right. Annabelle would become an irresistible, unquenchable thirst. Ordinarily, she would feel the same pull, but there was no way to know how a human would react. __here__ no such thing as a sex bomb._ Cam spread himself flat across the sofa with his arms crossed behind his head. __eah, well, there definitely should be._ __e serious._ He sat up. ____ trying to tell you, it__ foolish to fight the bond between you. You__ be better off going with it and letting the panties drop where they may._ And what would happen if he did bond with her? There was no chance it would ever work out between them. He had to hide who he was from the world. A life with him meant Annabelle would have to lie to her friends and family about their relationship. He would never be able to marry her or give her the children she wanted. They__ talked about her dreams for a white picket fence and a family. Even if she were willing to give up those things, wouldn__ he be putting her life in danger? A dull ache formed in the pit of his chest. __ou know that__ not possible._ If he could somehow push away these human emotions of his, maybe he stood a chance of keeping her in his life. Maybe someday he could actually be happy for her if she found a suitable mate. He dug his fingernails into the palms of his hands at the thought of her with a human. __ have to go. She__ waiting for me._ __on__ forget the condoms,_ Cam shouted out. __atter of fact, you might want to double up. With all your pent-up frustration, there__ bound to be an explosion._ __ilarious,_ he replied, shutting the door behind him as he made his way toward his truck. Once inside, he slid his seat belt on and leaned back against the head cushion with his eyes closed. Filled with self-doubt, he worried that he wouldn__ be able to handle it. But he had to. For the sake of everyone he loved, he had to find a way.

Then it__ settled._ He pulled her into an embrace. __t__ been a long night for both of us. How about I drive you home?_ Inhaling a deep breath, she was overwhelmed by the woodsy scent of his bare skin. Desire surged through her__ euphoric sensation, vibrating all the way to her core. A second later, her nipples pebbled. Worried he might notice, she pulled away from him, covering her chest with her crossed arms. What was happening to her? __ think that__ a good idea.
