it yet, but we’re meant to be together. You’d love me if Zane weren’t around. I’m stronger than he is. I may be younger, but my abilities are the best of them all. I’ll take care of you, Dina. Be with me and I’ll give you a life that’ll make up for all the abuse and pain we went through as kids. You’re weak, I need to protect you. I’m seventeen now. I know what I want. You’ve always been the one I love.”
She couldn’t understand why he was saying such crazy stuff.
“Please let me go. I do love you, but like a kid brother. You’re hurting me.” He was strong and she could see the energy running up and down his arms. The way his face scrunched and sweat beaded on his forehead told her he was charging up to use his power of electrical current. Her life hung by a very slender thread. If he lost the small amount of control he had, she’d die instantly.
“I can do things with this. I’m more powerful than the others—than Zane. You’re the weakest, we belong together. I can protect you.”
“Right now the only thing I need protection from is you,” she spat angrily.
“Be with me, Di…or I’ll kill them—him. I’ll take him away from you. Tell me you’ll give me a chance. Have sex with me, you’ll see I’m better.”
She was certain Ian was a virgin, which only made his boastfulness more ridiculous. Normally, she’d have said something sassy, but the crazed look in his eyes kept her silent. She knew enough not to throw water on electricity. His power was unstable, as was his mind. She wasn’t giving him a reason to destroy her.
Pity constricted her heart. Even after what he’d done, she hurt for him. He’d only been six when they’d started experimenting on him. Anger had kept him alive, but it had also twisted him. “Please let me go now. I don’t want this, and I know you don’t want to hurt me,” she whispered quietly.
Hurt and rage filled his eyes. Not a good combination, especially in someone who controlled electricity. Her heart pounded.
“I’m going to have you, Dina. I’m going to have you right now,” he said with a childish edge in his tone.
Ian pinned her again before she could move. He was so fast, so strong. She’d never realized how dangerous he was until now.
“You’re mine.”
She turned her head before he could kiss her mouth. She whimpered as his clammy lips connected with her throat. He sucked and then bit her. Dina screamed. He forced his lips against hers in a brutal kiss.
When he released her mouth she turned her head to the side and spat blood on the floor. “Don’t kill me. I’ll never love you like a woman, but I’ll always love you like a sister.”
She gasped with relief as he pushed her away. Her hand clamped over the wound on her throat. Panting, glad the terrible moment was over, she turned to look at the shaking young man. He looked so vulnerable it broke her heart.
“I’m so sorry, Ian.”
Her tender words didn’t have the desired effect. He moved with unnatural speed, holding her back against the chair. This time he used his human strength, and it was still too much for her. She tried to push him away when he began to kiss her, but he was just so much larger, all muscle and desire. She couldn’t budge him. His erection pressed painfully into her thigh. Terror filled her, tears trailed rivers down her cheeks. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to block out what was happening. Then his unwelcome weight was gone.
Zane stood toe to toe with Ian, their height equal, neither backing down.
    “Ms. Dell, marketing asked me to come and get the proofs if they have your okay.”
    She gasped. The messenger interrupted her terrible memory, she was grateful.
    “They look great. Tell Jonny he did good.”
    The young man nodded and took the portfolio from her hands. He rushed away and she sat back with a sad sigh. Dina ran her hand through her hair and opened her browser. She looked at the station’s website. They’d just updated it again. The hype
