Chapter Five

Holy. Shit.

Pierce froze for one long moment after Toni pulled him down and smashed her sweet lips against his. Her eyes glittered intensely, like the predator she was when she came at him, but he could handle her.

One. Single. Moment.

That was all he allowed himself to catch up to what was happening. Was this sexy as sin, smart as a whip, funny little Lioness making the first move with him? Fuck yes, she was. And wasn’t that hot?

During that frozen moment in time, Pierce was immovable. Frozen. Rooted to the spot. Hell, he might as well have been a statue—then she sighed.

Shivers raced up his spine, and it was like the entire world just clicked into place. It was a sweet, soft expulsion of sound. So small, it was barely a whisper, but it might have been a roar for the effect it had on him. Blood pumping, heart pounding, his beast growling a chorus inside of him, only it comprised one word and one word only—mine.
