contact with his diaphragm.
He grunted, doubling over.
She spun away, her eyes shooting fire. But the truth was clear, now that he knew what to look for. She might appear angry to anyone who didn’t know her better.
He did, and what he saw encouraged him.
“Stop that,” she demanded. Was that a quiver he heard in her voice?
When he smiled, she attacked again. Her blows became more forceful, but more erratic, good technique flying out the window.
She raised the sword above her head with both hands, leaving her middle vulnerable, as she would say.
But Cameron didn’t take the opening. Using his own weapon, he locked swords with her and advanced until her back hit the wall behind her. She grunted with the impact. Then he kept going until she was pressed fully against him.
Kalindra sucked in a breath, her gaze rapt on his lips.
He couldn’t say who let go of their weapon first, him or her, but with a clatter, their swords fell to the ground.
Arms circled his neck, yanking him forward until his lips collided with hers. He groaned as her taste infused his senses. Intoxicating. His fingers dug into her hips as red-hot need boiled his blood. All he could think about was her.
Deepening the kiss, he thrust his tongue into her mouth. He pressed her into the wall with his hips until she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him.

With a thunk , Kalindra’s head hit the wall behind her, but she paid it little mind. Never had she felt such intensity. Cameron’s erection strained against her core, and she clenched her thighs around his hips.
What was happening to her? Her nipples had hardened to the point of pain, remembering the accidental brush of his fingers earlier. As if reading her thoughts, he slid his hands under her shirt and began a slow ascent, igniting nerve endings along the way until her entire body tingled, desperate for his touch.
She gasped into his mouth as his fingers pressed into a particularly sensitive spot on her side. He took the opportunity to plunder deeper, filling her every sense. All she could think about was him.
His hand cupped her breast, but still he didn’t touch her where she so desperately needed him to. She writhed against him, arching into his hand. Trying to maneuver her chest so that his fingers would brush against the peak. But he resisted. Intentional or not, the lack of contact was driving her insane. When he chuckled into her mouth, pulling back and nipping the bottom lip before diving back in, she had her answer. The tease.
Her hips met his thrust for thrust, making her wish there were no barriers between them. There’d be fireworks if they ever had sex, she could already tell. All heat and passion, burning them both in the blaze they’d create.
Never before had anything felt this good. Felt this right.
The thought was like a bucket of cold water. Felt right? No. Sleeping with Cameron wasn’t part of the plan. Getting attached to a human was never going to be part of the plan. Humans died too easily. They lived short little lives that burned out in the blink of an eye.
So, indulging in some hot sweaty sex? That could be on the table. It had been a long time since she’d truly let herself go. But she couldn’t get carried away.
This was too fast. Too unexpected. Was this the same man who’d called her a monster a mere month ago? She needed to get her head on straight so she could approach this logically. And when she did… Hot. Sweaty. Sex. Nothing more.
She pulled away, pushing against his shoulder until an inch separated their lips. He gazed into her eyes. She could read the concern in his gaze. Their panting breath tangled in the space between them.
“Kali?”
Her whole body shivered at the deep timbre of his voice. Control would not be easily gained. She wanted to tumble back into his kiss. Wanted to slide her hands around his neck, and lose herself again. Wanted to feel his touch on her waist, her breasts, everywhere.
But none of that would be
