If I were the sort of person who swore aloud, then this would be the man
who would drag expletives from me. ‘No,’ I said firmly, turning back to my
paperwork. ‘Go away.’
Out of the corner of my eye I saw that the griffin stayed completely
motionless and ignored my imperious command. His lion’s body filled my
office, the white feathers around his face and neck shone, but it was the
eyes – and the claws – that were most dangerous. The eyes, because they
missed nothing, and the claws because they could kill you before you
blinked. There was a shimmer, and standing in front of me was a man who
looked no less dangerous than he had in his griffin form moments before.
He had dark hair, olive skin and dark eyes. He was dressed in black
combat trousers, black boots and a black T-shirt that might as well have
been painted on. The shirt showed off hard, corded muscle. Human or not,
he was still more deadly than your average viper – and I hate reptiles.
Bastion studied me like I was a puzzle he couldn’t quite work out and
then, in blatant contravention of my order, took the seat opposite me. He
stretched out his legs, crossed his ankles and lounged back. Indolently.
Bastard.
‘I need your help,’ he said calmly.
I looked up again. ‘You need to go away,’ I replied evenly. ‘I don’t have
anything to say to you. Not now, not ever.’
He studied me. ‘There are lives at stake, witch.’
‘Not mine. Leave.’
His eyes narrowed; they were now so dark as to be almost black – as
black as his soul.
‘I want nothing to do with you.’ There, that was clear enough. He still
didn’t move. ‘Get out!’
He continued to ignore me as if I hadn’t spoken. My blood started to
simmer.
‘Let me tell you a little about why I want your help. Then, if you still
don’t want to assist me, I’ll leave willingly,’ he offered.
‘You’ll leave unwillingly,’ I threatened through gritted teeth, reaching for
the potion bomb in my jacket pocket.
‘I wouldn’t do that if I were you,’ he said softly. The words carried on the
air like the caress of a silk handkerchief with a sharp blade wrapped inside
it. He was like a coiled spring. Suddenly violence was in the air. As quick
as I am, one wrong move on my part and blood would be spilled
I eased my hand away from the potion bomb. Suddenly my mouth was
dry and, though I refused to admit it, fear had sent my heart careening. I
glared up at him, hating this man who set my pulse racing like a rabbit
being hunted. ‘Fine,’ I spat out. ‘Tell me what you want and then you will
leave.’
