—Je t'ai entendue plusieurs fois m'appeler "dieu", la nuit dernière.

—J'ai crié "Dieu du ciel", pas "Wen, mon dieu à moi'.

—Ce n'est pas la première fois que je m'enquiers de toi, Gerri. (Le bleu de ses yeux s'était de nouveau assombri.) Je n'ai jamais quitté le territoire du clan sans qu'un allié soit passé te voir. Le lycan que j'emploie m'a chaque fois signalé que tu étais avec un type. Mais, cette fois, s'il avait fallu que je t'arrache à un autre, je l'aurais fait sans hésiter. J'ai besoin de toi et j'en ai ma claque d'attendre le moment propice pour savoir ce qui se passe entre nous. Trouve-toi des excuses, rouspète tout ce que tu voudras, ça n'empêchera pas l'inévitable de se produire.

Son regard descendit jusqu'à la ceinture de sa robe de chambre.

—Je vais te faire l'amour, Gerri, dit-il en la dévorant du regard. Ce soir même.

Sexy comme tu l'es, tu pourrais séduire un arbre si l'idée te passait par la tête.

"I'd hoped the attraction would be gone when I set out to find you." He glanced down her body. "Who won the truth? I saw you... and all those feelings I used to have resurfaced. You're beautiful, G.L. You have no idea what you do to me still."

"Aren't you curious about what's between us ?" He leaned closer, staring deeply into her eyes. "I am. I can't offer you forever, but don't you wonder what it would have been like if we'd had the chance to be together ?"

"Wen..." He was so sexy, and she longed to touch him.

"Worst case scenario, we're going to realize what we had was real. Best case, we'll learn enough to never want to see each other again. We won't be certain either way unless we become lovers."

She closed her eyes, enable to stare into his anymore. "God, Wen. Don't do this."

"I'm not touching you yet."

Yet." What happens if it was real and those feelings are still there ?What if they deepen?" She forced herself to look at him again. "What if we both want forever?"

Wen looked away that time. "It can't happen. I have to return home and it wouldn't be safe for you." He returned his gaze to hers. "I'd be afraid my family might want to hurt you or our children."
