House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

He moved closer to her, she took a step back, until her back was flat against the bathroom door. He placed his hand on the wall beside her head, making the hairs on her neck stand up at close contact. His heat seeping from his skin, imprisoning her.

“I don’t want to say no, let me pick you up tomorrow, show you around.” Kalbreal’s eyes were so appealing, unyielding in its request, but she wasn’t going to give in to his temptations so easily, this feeling wasn’t like what she felt for William, this was strange.

“First, I’m not your type and now you want to take me on a date, the day after I just lost my mother.”

He dropped his hand but kept his eyes focused on hers, showing no attempt to rekindle its course. The hollows in his face and the piercings in his ears were stark at the close distance. Taking a closer look at his ear, they weren’t piercings, but small shining tattoos on his skin, it was part of his flesh, a shiny silver metal.

He was no doubt an un-captured beauty, “No, not a date, just a tour, I find you fascinating Clarebella.” He paused, it was the second time he had called her that, “I was married before, not so long ago, and she was taken from me, you remind me of her.

Kalbreal’s eyes dropped to the floor, he didn’t continue with what he was going to say, she exhaled a burst of warm carbon dioxide. Clare turned her head to the left, her hair falling in her eyes. She wanted to push it back, but his gaze was so captivating, so unrealistically burning. Was it arousal, or need, or hunger, she couldn’t tell, but all of a sudden she felt like the room just got fifty degrees hotter.“But without your name on your skin it’ll never be possible, the heavenly fire in my veins will burn through you with one touch.”

She didn’t know what to say by the little peek into his life, he had given her, “I’m sorry to hear about your wife, she would’ve had to be perfect to marry you, but you shouldn’t compare me to her.” She didn’t know what she had expected from Kalbreal, but this was certainly not it, “I’m not sure if sightseeing alone with you is a good idea, as you said, trust issues.”

“I am ageless, I have patience.”

muttered, “I don’t doubt that.”
