Chapter 154: Ritual - Part 2

~ ZEV ~

"Are you ready?" Dunken asked him quietly.

Zev nodded, his eyes still locked on Sasha, who couldn't seem to take her gaze from him, either. His heart pounded to beat out of his chest, his pulse throbbing in his skin until his ribs hurt. But he wouldn't give up that moment for anything.

She looked like an angel, floating out of the forest to find him with her eyes. And when she started examining his body… Fuck. He felt her eyes like she was touching him.

Everywhere.

"Down boy," Dunken said quietly, a smile in his tone. "We've got some stuff to get done first."

"Let them try and take her from me," Zev growled, imagining picking Sasha up and running out of the clearing with her, taking her to the cave and tearing that dress off… with his teeth.

"If you don't stop stinking of arousal, you'll get them going too," Dunken muttered, tipping his head towards the crowds of males clustered around the bonfire.
