A SENTINEL LOVE STORY Page 2

  Lifting his head, Anton studied her with a brooding gaze. “Not that I don’t appreciate you’re creative approach in trying to sneak past our barriers, but I left my number for you. Why didn’t you just call?”

  She blushed. “Why didn’t you?”

  His thumb brushed her lips still throbbing from his kisses. “I knew you would come.”

  She arched a brow. “You think you’re so irresistible?”

  “If not me, then Charlie would eventually lure you into my web,” he murmured.

  “Web?” She sucked in a deep breath, savoring his heady male scent. “That’s an interesting choice of words.”

  “A web doesn’t release its prey.” His arms tightened as she gave a small shiver. “Are you afraid?”

  “Never of you,” she assured him, knowing that it would take time to get used to the powerful emotions that thundered through her.

  He held her gaze. “You’ll stay?”

  She didn’t hesitate. “For how long?”

  A smile that made her heart stop curled his lips. “Eternity sounds about right.”

  “Eternity.” She went on pulled his head down, not even close to being done with his delicious kisses. “That does sound right.”
