Askel sucked in a deep breath as Zariah stepped into one of the rooms and slammed the door shut.
Askel could have sworn, for a moment there, her cold facade had faltered as her gaze roved over him and Askel was certain his mate approved of what she saw.
It was clear in her gaze and how she had unconsciously flicked a tongue out to wet her lips.
The sight of that small, wet appendage had Askel's heart beating faster than he had ever thought possible...with Zariah, Askel found he always reacted in ways he previously did not think himself capable of.
And then those alluring crimson orbs that trailed down his chest slowly, it had only been for a moment but her gaze had left a heated trail as it moved across Askel's chest.
Askel wished she hadn't stopped, but he had spoken up intending to get her to stop, Askel knew if she stared at him in such a way for too long, he would loose every ounce of self control he was struggling so hard to hold unto.
