"I know you wanted to fuck me so bad last night. I know you're excited that we're alone in these woods. I know you want me, Maverick. Stop resisting and give in."
"You're so wrong and so bold."
"Wrong?" My eyes dropped to his arousal. It was thick and straining. "Your cock breaking the water's surface tells me a different story."
My fingers traveled lower until they made contact with something hard.
He huffed as I trailed my fingers along his length. I gently wrapped my fingers around it. He was hot, hard__I could feel the veins of it beneath my grip.
"You enjoy my touch, don't you?"
He grabbed my hand but didn't pull it away.
"Don't." The muscles in his forehead bulged.
"Don't what?"
"You keep pushing me." His grip tightened.
"I will continue to do so until you give in."
"Take your fucking hands off me and leave." He leaned closer until I could feel his warm breath on my face. I focused on his lips, wanting to capture them_to kiss him right now.
"Why don't you take them yourself?" I began stroking him slowly.
....

In a world where Lycans, and Hunters are sworn enemies, Lilith Blackheart, a powerful hunter, is assigned with one mission; seduce the Lycan King, make him fall in love, and destroy him. If she fails, she loses her claim to the Blackheart throne.
Lilith has always known what she was from a young age; a hunter forged to hunt and kill Lycan, and werewolves. But everything took a different turn when she met him. When she discovers that the Lycan King, Maverick is her fated mate.
As she utilized the mating bond to manipulate him, Lilith began to noticed that her own blackened heart was betraying her. With every touch, the line between duty and desire begins to blur, and she realizes that she's not only at the verge of losing her heart but also her life—if she dares to fail the mission.

"Is that what's bothering you?" I could literally feel his warm breath brushing my face. "That I left after kissing you?"


His fingers twitched around my throat. The grip had lessened a bit, but the threat was still there. Deep inside, I was excited that he was angry. This meant that my plan was working.


Through the exhaustion pulling at my muscles, I felt the thrumming of the bond between us. It felt like a living thing awakened from sleep. It responded through the tension between us, at our close proximity, at the skin-to-skin contact. I could feel the heat radiating from him. Smell his arousal that the bond stirred.


Slowly and deliberately, a smile curled on my lips as I leaned closer.


"Or maybe," as I whispered, my eyes focused on his lips, "the fact that I did kiss you isn't what's bothering you, but because you wanted more."
