know what I think of him.
Melanie nodded her head toward Green.  Other parties are present, dumbass. I d
really rather not have to cast another spell ... uh ... can we talk about this after Green
leaves. I m not strong enough to do this completely alone. Russell will help because for
some insane reason he cares about me. She glared at Green.  And he s never once
fucked my name up! Setting her sights back on her brother, she smiled.  You see him as
being a drunken asshole right now. He s not that way all the time. Can t you sense his
pain, Eadan?
 Oh, I m not going anywhere without you, Green said, his voice deep, hard.
 And I really don t give a shit about Russell s pain.
Eadan pointed at Green.  I m with him. Now, get your ass back in his car. You re
going home with him tonight. Then, you re heading out with us to South America. Don t
think about arguing or I ll knock your ass out with a spell and you ll wake up married to
Green. Understood?
 What? Now you suddenly want me to go home with a man I just met? She
tossed her hands in the air.  I surrender. I m just going to say this--fuck whoever hears
me. If you force me to leave with Green, there is a better than average chance the man
will end up dead. I m getting the sense you kind of like the guy, Eadan. Do you want to
see him after someone who is more powerful than Daddy gets a hold of him?
Eadan stilled.  I don t know any Fae that is more powerful than Dad.
 I do. The man is ruthless. He ll cut down anyone between him and his goal.
Don t ask me to sacrifice the man I love just because you like him better than Russell.
There was a collective gasp. Melanie glanced from her brother to Green. Both
looked shocked. She shrugged.  What? Why are you guys staring at me like that?
Green looked at Eadan.  Did she just say that she...?
Eadan nodded.  Never in my life have I heard the girl utter that about any man,
other than her father. Well, there was that invisible friend she loved. His gaze shot to

Green s.  Whoa. Umm, on the count of three, catch her. This won t hurt her but it ll piss
her off when she comes to. One. Two. Three.
Darkness swallowed Melanie as Eadan s power wrapped around her.
RADAR DECEPTION 69
Chapter Nine
Melanie woke to the soft sounds of someone playing a piano. She glanced around
the large, white room in awe. It was beautiful. The ceiling was vaulted and the windows
along the left wall went from the floor up. The bed was bigger than any she d ever been
in and considering the number of beds Melanie had woke to find herself in that was
saying a lot. It was still dark out and she wasn t sure how much time had passed.
She glanced down to find herself wearing one of her favorite nightgowns. The
light pink silk gown was slit up the side and had spaghetti straps. It was like wearing
nothing and she loved it.
Climbing out of the bed, Melanie listened to the sound of the music playing and
smiled. She didn t need to be told whose bedroom she was in. She vividly remembered
Eadan threatening to put a sleep spell on her. She also remembered his threat--she d wake
up married to Green. The thought had terrified her when he said it. Now, as she headed
for the door, all she could think about was being near Green.
She opened the door and stepped out into the large hallway. The sound of music
filtered in from the other end so she headed in that direction. The hallway seemed to go
on forever, making her wonder how many people lived in the house. The sound of the
piano being played grew louder as she approached a large, half-circular staircase. As she
headed down it, she spotted Green in what looked to be a formal living room, sitting with
his back to her while he played. The room was amazing but nothing compared to the
sight of him.
Her breath caught as she stared at him. It was the first time she d seen him
without a shirt on and it hit her just how muscular he was. He looked as though he were
chiseled from the same marble of the floor beneath the area he sat in. Perfection. Plain
and simple. The dark black wood of the piano he sat at only added to the sleek,
streamlined, sensual look Green put out.
The black silk pajama bottoms he wore, rode low in the back, showing that he had
dimples just above his ass cheeks. The urge to rush forward and run her hands over him
was great. She managed to control it, only slightly as she walked slowly toward him. His
head dipped slightly as he played, indicating just how into it he was.
She wasn t familiar with the piece he was playing but she knew enough to know it
was full of emotion. Raw. Powerful, like him. Melanie slid her hands over his shoulders
and rubbed gently. The feel of his warm skin beneath her fingertips left her drawing in a
deep breath, fighting to keep her breathing even.
Green stopped playing and stiffened.  I didn t mean to wake you. I ll....
Her nipples hardened to pebble-like peaks as they grazed against his back. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
