never met a male as strong as he was. “Will you walk with me?”
    His expression remained dark. “Will you help me get that ring?”
    She nodded, knowing that he still meant to go without her to get it. She would just have to change his mind about that. “After I have some air.”
    Payne nodded too and held his hand out to her. He meant to teleport her. Well, it certainly beat walking but he had snarled and growled at her earlier when she had touched him. Was he that concerned about those males finding her that he was willing to break his no touching rule to get her up to the woods unseen? It was a start.
    Elissa slipped her hand into his. Heat chased up her arm as his fingers closed around it. She gasped and stared up into his eyes. The flecks of blue and gold in them brightened, glowing in the low light from the fire and the candles. A louder gasp left her when he pulled her hard against him, wrapped his arms around her, and darkness swallowed the world.
    They reappeared in the middle of the grounds of the mansion, the manicured lawn stretching around them and glittering with dew. Elissa shivered, the cold air instantly chilling every inch of exposed skin. She should have put a jacket on before letting him teleport her. She tipped her head back and stared up at the crisp moonless sky above her. Bright stars twinkled and winked at her. She drew in a deep breath and sighed it out, the sight of the universe on display above her relaxing her.
    Witches always felt an affinity to nature and whenever she was out in the open, surrounded by greenery, she felt as though she had come home.
    Payne moved against her, his arms still around her waist, his cool breath caressing her face. She lowered her eyes and froze as they found his were on her throat. The light from the mansion behind her was weak but enough for her to see where he was looking and that he was thinking very naughty things. She could see his fangs between his sensual lips.
    Elissa swallowed her nerves and the action caused him to frown and hold her closer. It seemed he could deny his incubus urges but his vampire ones were more difficult to control. It was definitely his stronger side and that was a problem. She needed his incubus side at the fore, and the only way she could think of bringing it out in him was pleasure. She needed him to give in to his desires. He stared at her throat and the longer he gazed upon it, the faster her breaths came, until she was panting with anticipation in his strong arms.
    “Payne?” she whispered, breaking his reverie. His eyes slid to her and the look in them would have knocked her on her backside if he hadn’t been holding her so tightly.
    A man had never looked at her with such intense desire and need before.
    She risked it.
    She wriggled her arm free from between them and raised it to his face. The moment she made contact, her palm cupping his left cheek, he sucked in a sharp breath, closed his eyes and leaned into her touch.
    He growled. Not in warning this time. It carried unadulterated hunger.
    He clutched her closer and her eyes widened, skin flushing with prickly heat. Oh, mother earth. His hardness pressed into her belly and all manner of wanton naughty thoughts cascaded through her mind.
    Gods, kiss her.
    She needed to be kissed.
    He dipped his head, his mouth nearing hers. She couldn’t breathe. She slipped her hand around the nape of his neck and tried to make him move quicker.
    Payne tore away from her and distanced himself, instantly placing over ten feet of grass between them. He stood with his back to her, shoulders heaving with his breaths. Elissa cursed herself. Too fast. She should have let him set the pace and maybe she might have had that taste of him she so desired.
    Craved.
    Now she wasn’t sure what to say. Things had turned strained between them again. She paced back and forth, her eyes on the stars, searching for inspiration. How could she get him to give up his restraint and unleash that passion on
