Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, #2)

A slow, lazy, carnivorous smile touched Curran’s lips. “Not only will you sleep with me, but you will say ‘please.’”

The smile widened. “You will say ‘please’ before and ‘thank you’ after.”

A few steps later I decided to put my worry to rest. “You were joking about the whole please and thank you thing, right?” “Meant every word.” A little light danced in his eyes and he very deliberately said, “Baby.” No. He laughed. “You should see your face right now.” “Don’t call me that.” “Would you prefer ‘darling’? Or maybe ‘cupcake’?” He winked. I gritted my teeth.

“The blood that flows through me was old when she was but a vague idea. Look into her eyes, if you don’t believe me.”
