He introduced himself first, then me as his mark.
“Huh? Really? You marked him?” The original knight said, seriously amazed.
Dammit. Why did he have to come here? Why did he… How did he… Oh, God.
You see?the whiny part of me droned.Time to stop.
“Fuck off,” I grumbled, feet stubbornly fixed to the ground.
Because ofhim. A fully healed miracle fresh from the sky, wrapped in red leather, stirring my cock to life.
My heart hiccupped in the good way, desire a sugar rush beyond any chocolate’s capabilities.
My Asher.
My muscly, delicious rock.
You keep me steady…Dark Me sparkled with starlight and lunar kisses, cooing over the gargoyle.
Me. Us. The whole of me.
I smiled, ready for a cuddle in the snow, for a few cheeky snogs.
“I did, yeah,” Asher answered the knight.
God, that voice. That exquisite baritone. Seductively masculine, rich like honey.
Let me just get naked right here.
His amber gaze bore into me, weakening my resolve. Those orbs of hotness were about to melt my boxers off my body.
Bring it.
“I’m… I’m…” I wanted to tell him I was going to Oxford, failing to do anything but revel in his delectable regard.
Take me, gargoyle. Fucking take me.
No. No. No. This wasn’t in the cards. Nothing would stop me from visiting the library.
The other gargoyles said something to him before taking off, leaving us alone in the park.
“Luke,” he said, wisps of condensation curling from his lips.
My heart prepared to embrace him, until I thought of Seth. “Please leave me alone.”
“How can I? I’m your bodyguard.” His smile sent fracture lines through me.
“I’m not… I’m not…” A whistle in my head, a thunderous quake. “I can’t…” Everything blurred, my body hit by a storm of bewilderment.
Give in or fly away? Tell him to come with me or leave me alone because I wasn’t going back on a leash again?
I lifted my head. “I’ll never agree to it.”
The December breeze rippled through his hair. “Agree to what?”
My knees weakened under the sexy force of his voice. “To be…” I coughed to clear the clogs in my throat. “To be everyone else’s tool. Whatever I am, I’m still me.” Dark Me twinned with the rest of me, becoming one man, one Luke.
Hello, you.
