A soft, half-hearted laugh escaped her. Uncertain and slightly nervous, Inez said to him, "You just said that he was going to prove troublesome."
"I never said that I am scared of trouble," countered Killian. He then leaned forward, and Inez felt her breath getting caught in her lungs. The air between them started to charge once again, and she could feel her siren screaming at her, yelling in her head to kiss him.
No, we can’t! Inez told Nerina.
Yes, we can! Nerina fired back. She didn’t care about anything other than shedding the clothes of her mate and taking him down on the floor with them, but Inez knew better. At least she thought she knew better, for she knew that she couldn’t do that. Not when she knew that if she dared to let her siren take control, Killian would be reduced to nothing but an empty shell.
"You need to step back," said Inez, feeling a bit stifled. His cologne smell was getting stronger, and Inez had to force herself to stop from drinking in too much of his scent. She was worried that if she sucked it like a woman drowning in it, she might not be able to keep her hands off him.

Inez pursed her lips as she stood up on her feet. She felt her head sway a little, but she somehow managed to stay stable on her feet. "I told the head guard that I was your —mate. He didn’t like that I was using your name to get out of trouble."
She then headed to the shower and started pulling her clothes, or what remained of them, off her body. "I didn’t know that it was a taboo."
Killian’s eyes softened as he followed Inez inside the shower, but as soon as she sensed him coming after her, she turned her head to look at him. "We cannot—"
