“Why now? Why me?” I asked, since she was still quiet. I wanted to make sure she wanted it.
Me.
“Don’t act like you haven’t noticed my… advances,” she finally spoke, and it was becoming more and more difficult to control myself.
“Is that what they were?” I asked, letting a smirk pull at my lips. “I’m afraid they were barely noticeable.”
I expected her to pout, to pretend to be all innocent or show some type of unhappiness at my teasing, but instead she met me with a smirk of her own.
I felt her inhale, like she was making up her mind about something.
“Shall I make it more obvious?” she asked before moving her hand down my front.
Fuck.
Heat spread through me faster than I could take it. The bloodlust clouded my brain, started making me think things that would put Eve in danger.
I wanted her. More than I’d ever wanted any human before.But if I allowed this to go on, I knew I might hurt her.
I should have moved her hand away, taken a step back, but I went for something stupid and selfish instead. Something I’d been thinking about since I first laid eyes on her.
I leaned forward. I took something for myself.
A kiss.
Sweet, more hesitant than with anyone else. It had always been rushed with others. I knew what needed to happen, and so did they, and there was no need to draw it out. But with Eve…
I really didn’t want to hurt her, but the need to taste her was so overwhelming I couldn’t hold myself back. It only made it worse that she was the one kicking things up a notch.
Her hands grabbed my waist and forced my body against hers. She opened her mouth and ran her tongue across my lips until I had no choice but to open for her.
I had never met anyone like her. She had no restraint. She was wild and unyielding. I gave her an opening, and she took it, showing me just how much she wanted me.
Her taste was unlike anything I had experienced before. So,sosweet, better than any human or demon. Her flesh smelled like the flowers that grew on the outskirts of our land where Mother used to take us when we were younger.
Kissing her gave me a taste of the freedom I didn’t know I craved.
I wanted more.
My hands moved of their own accord and gripped herclothes. There was a pounding in my head. Bloodlust was creeping in, telling me to get her naked, put her legs around my waist, and dip my fingers into her sweet nectar while my fangs tore her throat open.
Fuck. I can’t hurt her.
It took everything I had to push her away, breaking the kiss, my breathing heavy. When her eyes met mine, they widened, and surprise spread across her face as she could finally see the bloodlust.
What she did to me.
And still there was no fear coming from her.
“We’re a package deal,” I said quickly to justify my stepping back.
She held my gaze for a second before an understanding smile spread across her face.
“A package deal I would gladly accept.”
“Careful what you wish for,good girl. You may be biting off more than you can chew.”
And then I left before I was unable to.
