I sit and swing my legs to the floor. “I wasn’t going to suck your blood,” I say in a bored tone, padding past her to the bathroom where I splash water on my face.
“Are you...hungry?” she asks, trailing behind.
“No,” I snap. “I was aroused. Feeding satisfies a sexual urge in addition to providing nourishment.” The truth is, I probably do need to feed soon, it‘s been a couple weeks since I’ve had any blood, but I don’t want to scare her.
“Oh,” she says.
I glance over to see her nipples protruding through her bra and tank top. I inhale, breathing in her scent, longing to grasp her breasts and knead them possessively, pinching her nipples into points. I wrench my thoughts from her perfect anatomy. Staying with the little fairy might be as much torture to me as I intend to inflict upon her. Drying my hands and face on the towel, I saunter up to her, eying the vein at her throat. “Are you going to let me taste you, Aurelia?” I purr.
She takes a quick step backward. “No!” Her voice pitches higher than usual.
I smile, flashing fang.
She draws herself up, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “I can’t open the front door,” she says.
“I know.”
“What did you do to me? Vampire hypnosis?”
“Yes,” I admit, knowing it would probably enrage her. “I couldn’t take the chance you would open the door and let sunlight in while I slept.”
Her shoulders lower and the fists unclench, as if my argument holds some merit with her. “Oh.”
I’m mildly surprised she’s acting so reasonably. She might be more easygoing than she lets on.
I head past her into the living room.
“Well, you might have just left a note or something instead,” she says, following.
I turn and lift my brows. “After what you tried to do to me last night?”
She bites her lip. “Well…”
“Well, what?”
She stares at the floor. Her shyness is adorable. “Did you give me the dreams?”
I remember the way she rocked her pelvis over my thigh when she woke and smile. I felt the dampness of her arousal through her shorts, and now, fully awake, I wish I helped her come. I can’t wait for a repeat of that scene. “What were you dreaming about, anyway?”
She flushes, and the smell of her arousal blooms, making me want to forget Operation Break My Curse and carry her off to the bed to ravish her naked body until she screams. Last night I tasted her lips. Now I want to taste between her legs.
“Nothing! I don’t know…”
I let her squirm a bit more under my scrutiny before confessing, ”I didn’t wish to wake you with my hammering, so I suggested you fall into sweet dreams...literally.”
She nibbles her lip as she digests that.
“Were they?”
“What?”
“Sweet?”
“Oh...um. Yeah.”
I can tell she’s torn between being pissed off about my manipulation and appreciating the gesture.
“Don’t do it again,” she says although she lacks conviction.
I ignore her, seating myself on her couch like I own it.
“Did you hear me? Vampire?”
“Charlie,” I correct her. “Charles Edward Holbrook, the third. Come over here.” I crook a finger.
I don’t expect her to come. She was all sweet defiance last night, but after a moment’s hesitation, she walks over to me.
I catch her hand and guide her over my lap. She goes willingly. Almost eagerly.
Interesting.
“Who gives the orders around here?” I ask softly.
I hear her swallow, the increased rate of her delicious heartbeat. “What?”
“I said, who gives the orders around here, you or I?”
She kicks up her chin, tossing her hair as she looks over her shoulder at me. I’m surprised she stayed in the position I put her. She must enjoy my games as much as I do. I’m certain of it when she dares to snap, “Go to hell.”
I chuckle and slap her ass pinning her wrists with my other hand. “I thought you didn’t curse, little mortal.”
She holds her breath like she’s waiting for more. I smack her other cheek then squeeze roughly. She has a full, juicy ass. I want to sink my cock between those cheeks and show her who her master is.
“Who says you get to give the orders?” Her voice is breathy, and it goes straight to my cock.
I spank her again. “It’s a given. Little mortal, you’re lower on the food chain.”
“Fork you!”
I love it that she doesn’t have a filthy mouth. It’s so damn cute.
I turn her around to face me and give her a taste of vampire strength, lifting her by the waist to sit her up on the arm of the couch. She blinks in surprise. I pull her shirt off over her head.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Even though she’s wearing a bra, she covers her breasts with one forearm.
“Every time you sass me, you will lose an article of clothing. You may earn it back by showing your subservience to me.”
