Excerpt
“Come now.” He winked, and her heart
skipped a beat. “I’d hardly call my pursuit of your chastity tragic.”
“Not tragic for you.” Syrinx scrounged up
her willpower and inched toward the falls. She glanced at his muscular legs,
then wished she hadn’t. A blush burned her cheeks. “Breaking my vow destroys
everything I stand for.”
He gave her a suggestive smile and stepped
forward. “I’ll make it worthwhile.”
She bet he would. Her mind wandered,
wondering what those sinister lips tasted like and how it would feel to be
claimed by him. He’d saved the girl, so he wasn’t as evil as she made him out
to be. Yet he could have done it just to gain her confidence. Underneath his
sly flirtatiousness, who was he? A child of the forest—wild and untamed, fickle
and cold as the wind. She’d have him for a day, then he’d be on to his next
conquest, and she’d have nothing. Not even her pride.
She didn’t trust him, and she couldn’t
trust herself.
Syrinx backed toward the falls. The surge
of water roared at her back.
“Please.” Pan held out his hand, and the
pain in his eyes tugged on her heart. “Give me a chance.”
“And sacrifice my eternal honor for one
night?” She laughed bitterly. “You can never make it worth it.”
Without another word, she spread her arms
and fell back, sailing down the falls like an angel falling from the heavens.
Adrenaline rushed through her, along with a bubbling sense of freedom and a
strong pride in herself. She would not give in to her temptations. She was the
goddess of chastity and she reigned supreme.
