Whatever relationship you think we had is over.
The man you claim to love is gone, so you have two choices.
You can stake me like a good little Guardian, or you can join forces with me to make an escape.
But either way, there is no more us."
Crimson splotches mottled Andrea's cheeks, but he didn't need to see her fury to know she was bubbling over with it.
His enhanced senses picked up her anger as a scent that was so bitter he could taste it on his tongue.
"You son of a bitch."
Like a well-trained warrior, she didn't give away her next move, which was to snap up the stake.
He could have stopped her; his reflexes were twice as fast as they had been.
But in truth, he was curious to see what she'd do.
And when she came at him, he had his answer.
Chapter Five
Damn him!
Crazed with hurt and anger, Andrea launched herself at Kaden, her stake aimed right at his cold heart.
Effortlessly, as though she were nothing but a minor annoyance, he blocked her with one upraised arm.
Humiliation aside, she was glad he'd done it.
Oh, she wanted to hurt him, but she'd planned to check up at the last moment, not really wanting to kill him, and clearly, he didn't want to die.
Or, probably more accurately, he didn't want her to be the one to have to kill him.
Not after the trauma he'd suffered when he'd had to put down his fiancee.
Yes, his words had put a fissure in her heart, but she wasn't stupid -- he was trying to piss her off, to chase her away in order to save them both a lot of pain.
She was sorry she'd told him she loved him, but she wasn't sorry for how she felt.
She'd dated before Kaden, but she'd never fallen in love, hadn't known how good it could feel.
Or how bad.
Still smarting from his verbal smackdown, she struck out, slapping him across the face.
His head snapped back and his eyes went wide, as though he couldn't believe she'd just done that.
In an instant, he recovered, red sparks turning his eyes to molten metal as he grasped her wrists and yanked her into him.
Just as she'd wanted him to do.
Still, her heart thundered in her chest.
