"You know you belong here with me," Caleb whispered in my ear.
A shudder ran down my spine. I wanted to pull away but his voice paralyzed me.
"No!" I snapped, my voice trembling, giving away my fear.
His hands curled around my shoulders. I closed my eyes, the touch so soft and familiar I secretly wanted more even though the mere thought made my stomach turn.

BETWEEN TWO ALPHAS

When I returned to Loki’s room, he had mercifully showered and dressed. If he’d still been prancing around naked, I never would have been able to stay focused. Still, as I entered, his eyes raked me up and down, a soft smirk on his lips. It was like I wasn’t wearing any clothes at all, how his eyes burned through me. 


I closed my eyes and sighed. “I have a plan,” I said. 


“No. Because you won’t let me go through with it,” I said, chuckling. 


Loki narrowed his eyes. “I already don’t like it, based on that,” he muttered, crossing his arms. 


I went to him and tugged at his steel-cable biceps until he relaxed his arms and uncrossed them. He still glared at me, so I ran my fingers over his brow, smoothing the creases. 


“Don’t look so serious,” I said. “I’ve got this under control.”


“That’s what I’m afraid of,” he muttered.
