His gaze burned into my own, a test of wills, a battle to see who would look away first. I decided I now had a distinct competitive streak in my second life, because instead of shifting my eyes from his piercing dark ones, I leaned forward and kissed his full lips. One point to Raine. He leaned into the kiss, his tongue a searing brand against my mouth, and he got my bottom lip between his teeth and bit down hard enough to break the skin. The taste of my blood flooded my mouth, and I moaned as he sucked at it gently. He pulled back, looking completely smug. Okay, maybe one point all.
