A slow smile curved Ian’s mouth. “Have I ever told you you’re irresistibly attractive when you use forbidden magic?” “Yes,” I said, then could have kicked myself. Now his gaze was filling up with green flame. “Don’t,” I said when he reached for me. The look in his eyes made me shiver. “You want me, and I want you more than anything I’ve wanted in my entire life.” I had to look away. If I didn’t, I would take him up on every decadent promise in his gaze. “Yes, I want you. But desire is an emotion, not a decision, and I still say no.”
