"That's one," he agreed.
"I love you." She gave him back his words. She wanted to share this part of herself with him, tell him what she'd never told another male. He was hers and she loved him. Bond or no bond, they belonged together.
"And I love you," he promised, his head lowering to hers.
He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. The jumpsuit parted easily when he got a thumb on the zipper and tugged. Revealing her inch by inch. That sure, deliberate touch sent pleasure spiking through her. He wanted her, saw only her. And she was wet and aching for his touch.
She wanted him to taste her.
All of her.
Wanted him to lay her down on the bed and taste every secret place, find the magic they'd shared in the Preserves and recreate it all again.
"You're staying with me," he growled and it was more satisfied statement than demand. "Now. Tomorrow. Always."
She leaned her head back against the arm holding her up, just watching. There were no favors here. No rules. She wanted to leave, he wouldn't stop her. If she wanted out from his arms, all she had to do was take one little step to her left and she'd be free and clear.
"Always," she agreed, sliding her hand up his arm. He looked like he wanted to say something more, but she didn't want to talk any more. All she wanted was to taste.
He threaded his fingers through her hair, and closed the last few inches of space between their mouths. The arm around her tightened, brought her impossibly close. Stroking a thumb over the small of his back, she stole a moment to savor the heat, the hardness of the male holding her, through the fabric.
His lips against hers were a simple little tease, a gentle brush of his skin on hers. The kiss was a slow and sweet game, but sensation rocketed through her with that first touch of his mouth against her skin.
Mine.
His head came up. "We've still got the soul bond, Ria." Her name was an intimate promise on his lips. "This time, it's forever. For as long as you want me."
She felt his mouth against her ear. "Vkhin," she gasped. "You think I can afford a soul bond?" Here with him, now, she felt alive and unafraid, as if she had wings herself and could use them.
"This one's free," he promised. "A gift from me to you. You want me, you have me."
"Yes," she whispered, her fingers marching up his chest. "Forever."
That new bond pulled them close to each other. Something more. Something right. He was right there, waiting for her to recognize him. To let him in. His arms closed around her, pulling her close.
Finally back where she belonged.

HE HUNGERS FOR HER BODY!
Zer is no angel—well, not anymore. He's explored every flavor of sin imaginable, drinking in the pleasures of humanity. But now he must find the woman who carries his salvation in her very blood! a woman like Nessa St. James.
AND HER SOUL
Nessa has considered the bargain the Fallen offer. Anything she wants in exchange for accepting Zer's bond? No way. Not her. Not when she finds out about the mind-blowing ritual involved, and the marks of surrender that will ink her skin. But with a serial killer to stop and centuries of experience on his side, this is one job Zer's going to nail.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
After ten years of graduate school and too many degrees, Anne Marsh escaped to become a technical writer. When not planted firmly in front of the laptop translating Engineering into English, Anne enjoys gardening, running (even if it's just to the 7-11 for Slurpees), and reading books curled up with her kids. The best part of writing romance, however, is finally being able to answer the question: "So! what do you do with a PhD in Slavic languages and literatures?" She lives in Northern California with her husband, two kids and five cats.
