Shock flooded him, and he was immediately—desperately—curious.

“You’re beautiful, little lamb. Everyone in that room noticed you.” He smiled. “I’d wager everyone in any room notices you.”

Wanting him didn’t scare her, didn’t feel impulsive or shameful or dangerous. It simply felt inevitable.

“You’re going to ruin me for anyone else.”

“I’m doomed to walk the earth, alone and immortal, until my beloved finds me and rescues me.”
