company, her limits might be tested. He was a daemon, but he had taken the guise of a very attractive man. She was drawn to the burn beneath his control. She was drawn to what he might hide beneath the hardness he cultivated for the world. His penchant for sugary kisses and his reaction to her cello music gave her a glimpse at what vulnerabilities he might hide.
He wasn’t a forthright man, but a daemon. His every move screamed those truths to her even though his words and demeanor were enigmatic.
“Your music will make this dance impossible to resist. The audience will be captivated,” he said.
And yet he also made raw confessions at every turn.
She lifted her gaze from the dancers below to Severne’s eyes. The shadows were too deep to see any green, but he tilted toward her as if to accommodate her search, and a shaft of stage light fell over his eyes. The rest of his face was still shadowed, but his eyes were fully illuminated and as green as she’d seen them before.
His eyes and his shadowed mouth drew her.
But she quickly rose before she fell further under his daemon spell. Or his masculine spell. Or both.
She wasn’t here to be seduced. Surrender wasn’t an option.
“I enjoy the music. I appreciate the dance. I don’t want to captivate. I just want to find my sister,” she said.
She mumbled to excuse herself as she tried to navigate gracefully past his long, lean legs. He stood, but he didn’t try to stop her. She pushed through the heavy curtains behind their seats, but as she did she heard him reply.
“As do I, Katherine. As do I.”
He said he wanted to help her find her sister, but she wasn’t certain what he wanted most. He was a bottomless pit of wants and needs she couldn’t quite ascertain.
