"Belikov's. I was just thinking about when you mentioned needing more information and stuff.<br />
You act just like him. You've gotten all serious since you've been hanging out with him."<br />
"No, I haven't."<br />
Mason had pulled me closer, but now I suddenly didn't feel so romantic. I'd wanted to make out<br />
and forget Dimitri for a while, not have a conversation about him. Where had this come from?<br />
Mason was supposed to be distracting me.<br />
He didn't notice anything was wrong. "You've just changed, that's all. It's not bad … just<br />
different."<br />
Something about that made me angry, but before I could snap back, his mouth met mine in a<br />
kiss. Reasonable discussions sort of vanished. A bit of that dark temper started to rise in me, but<br />
I simply channeled that intensity into physicality as Mason and I fell on top of each other. I<br />

Considering we'd just been having an argument a minute ago, I was surprised to see things<br />
escalating so quickly. Honestly, though … I didn't mind. This was the way I lived my life.<br />
Everything was always fast and intense with me. The night Dimitri and I had fallen victim to<br />
Victor Dashkov's lust charm, there'd been some pretty furious passion going on too. Dimitri had<br />
controlled it, though, so sometimes we'd taken things slowly…and that had been wonderful in<br />
its own way. But most of the time, we hadn't been able to hold ourselves back. I could feel it all<br />
over again. The ways his hands had run over my body. The deep, powerful kisses.<br />
It was then that I realized something.
