Annah suddenly leaned in, and clasping her hands around my head she<br />

pulled me close, biting me sharply on the neck, giving a s<strong>of</strong>t hiss. Rather<br />

than pulling back, she pressed closely in<strong>to</strong> me and whisperd in<strong>to</strong> my ear.<br />

"D'yeh fancy yer chances?" Her tail <strong>be</strong>gan <strong>to</strong> lash slowly back and forth, but<br />

the rhythm was more hyp<strong>not</strong>ic than angry.<br />

I could feel Annah's heart <strong>be</strong>ating fast in her chest, and the color rising in<strong>to</strong><br />

her cheeks. Her skin was smooth and s<strong>of</strong>t against mine. The tight embrace<br />

she held me in was pressing the heat <strong>of</strong> her body in<strong>to</strong> mine. "I want tae tell<br />

yeh something, an' yeh can't poke fun at me."<br />

I licked my lips. "All right..."<br />

"Do yeh know I like the way yeh smell? Oh, aye - it drives me barmier than a<br />

Chaosman, it <strong>do</strong>es." She sniffed up the side <strong>of</strong> my cheek and gave a low,<br />

eager hiss. "I see the way yeh look at me, and I like it. Yeh've got hungry<br />

eyes, yeh <strong>do</strong>. It makes me a-fire."<br />

My breathing quickened and my jaw fell slack at her caress. Slim fingers<br />

traced white-hot lines along my flesh, searing an electric tingle along my<br />

scars.<br />

"I want tae bite yeh, s<strong>of</strong>t-like around the neck..." She teased the side <strong>of</strong> my<br />

neck with her teeth, never breaking skin, and with every whisper, I could<br />

feel her breath along my ear. Her hand slid up around the back <strong>of</strong> my neck,<br />

and tightens, and I could feel her nails digging sharp crescents in<strong>to</strong> my skin. I<br />

gasped, the pain so<strong>be</strong>ring and drawing me out <strong>of</strong> that lusty haze and in<strong>to</strong><br />

Annah's grip. "I want ta drag me nails along the back <strong>of</strong> yer neck, and force<br />

yeh <strong>to</strong> kiss me."<br />

"Oh powers above..." I whispered.<br />

"Do yeh know I can smell yeh from fifty paces, that smell <strong>of</strong> fermaldyhe<br />

pouring <strong>of</strong>fa yeh like one <strong>of</strong> them dustie shamblers. May<strong>be</strong> if yeh cleaned<br />

yerself up some, yeh'd <strong>be</strong> a right prize." Her eyes flashed. "I'd make passion<br />

with yeh so hard yeh'd <strong>be</strong> knocked <strong>of</strong>f the spire." Annah stepped back then,<br />

her tail flicking lightly against my leg, and gave me a hard stare. "So... d'yeh<br />

fancy me?"<br />

Oh what the hell.<br />
