His Serpent's Kiss
He murmured, his tone heavy with implication.
My heart leapt in my throat, and I couldn't find it within my will to refuse.
Damn him.
Nero must have sensed something in my body language, because then he gripped my chin, his lips pressing against mine in a hot, searing kiss.
I hissed as his fingernails dug into my chin, my lips bruised by the force. Yet I didn't pull away. Blood rushed down to my nether regions, a traitorous reaction.
It wasn't my fault, I thought fervently. I was attracted to him, but it didn't mean anything.
