СКАЧАТЬ No, he’d never let her go… the demon blood within him had already claimed her. He watched as a tear slipped from her lashes to land on her creamy cheek. He leaned forward and licked the tear with the tip of his tongue, drawing a startled gasp from the girl.

      She renewed her struggle, wiggling out of his grasp and slid to the ground, throwing herself past him and grabbing at something lying there. He growled at her defiance as he turned and dropped on her, holding her to the ground. He pinned her wrist above her head and the weight of his body held the rest of her immobile. She tried to throw him off her but he wanted her to know just who she belonged to.

      Lowering his mouth to hers, he growled low in his chest. The girl stilled as his lips slashed across hers in a possessive kiss. He forced her lips apart with the pressure and deepened the possession. He wanted her and she would be his. His hands slid up from her wrist to take her fingers in his when he felt his hand come in contact with the thing she’d grabbed from the ground.

      He licked at the inside of her mouth wanting to taste everything that she was. He could feel his thoughts slowly coming back to him, things he should have not forgotten. He calmed, but the kiss didn’t. His mind flickered. He could feel the heat in his lower regions and he ground his hips against her in hunger. Then something clicked inside him and the red haze in his mind disappeared.

      Toya became aware of everything, the soft body under him, the taste of honey and the blinding need coursing through his veins. As much as he didn’t want to, he released her lips from his and raised above her a fraction to stare down into the eyes of Kyoko. He had just been kissing her and really wanted to continue.

      Kyoko couldn’t help it as fiery lightning bolts shot through her body. She stopped struggling as he deepened the kiss. The feel of his lips dominating hers with such passion was a heady sensation. Then she felt the evidence of his arousal press hard against her thigh and that shot another round of heat through her.

      She felt him slowly shift and rise above her as he ended the kiss. What she saw nearly stopped her heart. His eyes were golden, all traces of the demonic bloodlust gone. She glanced toward the dagger she still clutched in her hand and noticed that he was touching it. She sighed with relief realizing Toya was back.

      Toya watched Kyoko as she glanced toward the blade and his gaze followed hers. So that’s what happened. He had changed, and then he’d tried… He knew she would be mad at what he’d almost done. Even his out of control side had chosen her as its life mate.

      He sat up, trying not to look at her as he rolled off her body. Only after he was completely off her did he trust himself to glance at her. The first thing that caught his attention was her kiss swollen lips. He felt a blush burn his cheeks as he remembered the kiss and the feel of her lips against his.

      â€˜So that’s what heaven is like,’ he silently mused and rubbed his eyes with one hand for no other reason than to hide his reaction from her.

      Kyoko turned her face away from him as she slowly stood up. She knew he hadn’t meant to kiss her and was probably now regretting it. She located the other blade and handed both the daggers back to him.

      Toya also stood up, not saying a word. The silence around them was deafening.

      Chapter 2 "Flame of Jealousy"

      Kyoko gritted her teeth, the tension between them was almost tangible and it was really starting to unnerve her. Toya sat on a branch in the tree near the fire and Kyoko sat at the fire by herself. They still hadn’t said a single word to each other and now he wouldn’t even look at her.

      She frowned feeling slightly insulted. Was kissing her really so bad?

      Toya sat in the tree sulking. He’d seen her frown. Had him kissing her been so bad? She hadn’t said a word to him about what he had done. He’d rather her yell at him or something but he didn’t know what to think about her not saying anything. Was she that mad at him? Should he apologize?

      His lips thinned in denial. He wouldn’t apologize for something he hadn’t meant to do. Should he just ignore it and act like it didn’t happen? At this point, he just wished everything would go back to the way it was, although he himself would not forget the kiss. Toya glanced back down at her wondering what she was thinking.

      Kyoko watched the sky as it started to get dark. She wished Kamui was here but knew he wouldn’t be back until morning. The company would’ve been welcome. Right now, she would even settle for Shinbe and Suki starting a fight between themselves. She grinned... now that was always amusing.

      She played with the idea of going home, but it was already late and it would take hours to get back to the Heart of Time, unless Toya took her. Remembering the way he acted every time she wanted to go home kept her from asking him to take her. He seemed to think it was a sin to leave this world even for one day. The last thing she wanted to do was start a fight with him right now.

      She reached into her duffle bag and pulled out her thin cover, not knowing what else to do. Maybe if she hurried and went to sleep, when she woke up, someone would be there… someone besides him. He acted like he’d already forgotten about kissing her and that annoyed her. He didn’t say he liked it. And he didn’t say sorry. He just didn’t say anything, like it never happened.

      Kyoko tossed the sleeping blanket and stretched out on it, deciding to just stare up at the stars that were slowly starting to appear. She couldn’t help it, but she’d been kissed twice in the last twenty-four hours, and after never being kissed before, that was all she could think about. She began to compare the two kisses.

      Kyou’s kiss was powerful and exciting, although it kind of scared her because of who he was. Still, his lips were warm, where she thought they’d be cold. His hands on her body were hot, instead of the chilling touch she’d assumed he would have. She groaned as the memory sent a wave of heat through her body.

      Toya twitched as he heard a faint groan come from Kyoko. Looking down at her, he noticed she seemed lost in thought. His eyes darkened to a molten gold. Her scent was changing and it was drawing him to her. He inhaled the sweet smell. Was she thinking about him?

      His thoughts flashed back to when he’d gotten his senses back, after changing from his cursed form. Her lips were soft and she wasn’t fighting him. He could still taste her. Nothing had ever affected him like that. Kyoko was a different story. When she wasn’t yelling at him, she was one of the happiest people he’d ever known. Not that he’d known many humans but still, she was like his light in the darkness.

      He secretly loved protecting her and keeping her close. It almost made shattering the Guardian Heart Crystal worth it… almost. Now he had to protect her from Hyakuhei and every demon around. He glanced back down at her sensing she’d fallen asleep. He knew if they didn’t stay focused on gathering the talisman, than things could become very deadly… too deadly for her to be in the middle of it all. That’s why he constantly pushed the group to keep searching.

      Toya lightly jumped from the tree and landed quietly near her. He stalked within reaching distance of her and sat down. He often did this after she went to sleep so he could be near her if anything happened, that and the fact that he just simply liked being close to her. He relaxed into a light doze. The slightest sound would wake him and he would be ready.

      Kyoko tossed in her sleep… dreaming. Toya had just killed Hyakuhei and was smiling as he walked up to her, crushing her to him. He looked larger than life. Gazing deep into her eyes, his lips came closer СКАЧАТЬ
