nearly forgot her own name as she stared at the stranger and let the blaze inside her burn brighter. Her grip tightened on the glass she held. As it turned out, ice water was a great idea. She needed something to douse the internal flames. Good God, she was hot and breathless.
    “Are you okay?” the vampire finally asked in a low, intimate tone.
    Cass sucked down a big gulp of water, at a loss for words. Rational thought escaped her. All she could think of was the sexy vampire pushing her skirt up to her waist, grabbing her by the hips and driving his hard cock into her. Right here. Right now.
    Being on top would work just fine too. She’d straddle his lap as his thick shaft thrust up into her. She wanted to ride him hard and fast until they were both out of control and a frenzy of erotic sensations consumed them, making them yell out as they came.
    Her sexual deprivation aside, the man in front of her had her juices flowing with such little effort on his part. She suspected he could send her desire off the charts with just a kiss. And that was a very tempting notion.
    “I’m Marcus,” he told her.
    She still hadn’t spoken a word. Her gaze swept over his devilishly handsome face and landed on his mouth. His very enticing, “I know how to please a woman with these lips and this tongue” mouth.
    “And you are?” he inquired, a dark brow lifting.
    Cass blinked. She was being rude. Mesmerized, but rude. “Cass,” she finally managed to say. Relinquishing her death grip on her glass as she set it on the table, she held a hand out to him, desperately wanting to feel his skin against hers.
    His mouth turned down at the corners as he regarded her offering. He didn’t take her hand, much to her regret. Rather, he simply said, “You shouldn’t have come here alone.”
    Cass withdrew her hand, reached for her water and continued to sip. “I can take care of myself,” she said.
    He eyed her for a minute or two. An electric current flowed between them, palpable and enticing. His gaze was a searing one and he was so damn sexy, her heart thundered in her chest and her pulse raced.
    When she eventually polished off her drink, he took the empty glass from her and returned it to the table. His fingers grazed hers and his skin was cool and supple.
    With a compelling look, he said, “You need to be more careful, more cautious.”
    “Of what? Vampires?” Her voice was low and breathy. She wondered what he’d say if she told him she wanted him to fuck her. Not that she was the type to say something so brazen. It was just another fantasy that took up residence in her mind.
    His gaze remained on her, steady and intense. “This isn’t the place for a woman like you.”
    Her brows knitted together. “What do you mean, a woman like me? Am I not dressed appropriately?” She glanced down at her skimpy outfit. Hell, she was almost as naked as the rest of the women in this club. She was certain she fit in quite well.
    “Let me drive you home,” the vampire said, taking her by surprise.
    Disappointment set in. He wasn’t even hitting on her. He was treating her as though she were a teenager disobeying her curfew and hanging out with the wrong crowd.
    He looked way too intense. His muscles were rigid, his jaw was set. He was serious about getting her out of the club, but Cass sensed it wasn’t for the purpose of getting her alone. He wasn’t looking to ravish her, which was a damn shame.
    She contemplated this unexpected predicament she’d found herself in. The tingling in her shoulder had spread down her arm. The sensation wasn’t uncomfortable, it just tickled a little.
    She thought of that pinprick she’d felt on her shoulder when the pirate had tackled her. Had he somehow managed to shoot something into her, so quick she’d hardly noticed?
    Or was she just being paranoid?
    “At the very least,” Marcus continued, diverting her wayward thoughts, “let me call you a cab.”
    Okay, he really wasn’t looking to hook up
