or something. Like you have a say in my life. Newsflash…you don’t.” She threw her clutch on a nearby sofa, running a hand through her hair. “There is nothing between us…this isn’t exclusive.” “Like fuck it isn’t.” His voice was deep and gravelly. He was so fucking pissed. “You can decide right now, Alexandra. You can go back in there and take your chances on one of the other nine or you can take your chances with me. I don’t share well…not a fuck.” He growled the last. “You don’t share well?” She snarled. Her eyes narrowed to tiny slits. “You…” She poked him in the chest. “Don’t share…” Another hard poke. “Well…?” A final poke that would have left a mark if he was human. Her spectacular chest heaved, her dress barely holding her breasts in place. “Eyes up here asshole! You get to fuck around but I need to be at your beck and call…ready to jump when you click your fingers? Is that it?” She didn’t give him a chance to say anything. “You listen to me. It’s not going to happen. I say no way…I would rather take my chances out there. So…” A poke in the chest. “You can take your conditions and ultimatums and shove them up your ass and then you can go back to your fuck buddy in there and leave me alone. I don’t share well either, so there. Nuff fucking said.” His dick throbbed behind his zipper. It fucking all out throbbed. She was beautiful and sexy when she was happy. She was all out fuck-me-now hot when she was angry. Her skin was flushed. Her nostrils flared. Her eyes a dark, stormy blue. “I told you that she isn’t my girlfriend.” Lazarus took a step towards her and she took a step back. Alexandra rolled her eyes and sighed heavily. “Girlfriend, fuck buddy, whatever. I refuse to be the next notch on your belt. It isn’t going to happen.” “Stop saying those things about Jenna. She is my friend. Full fucking stop.” “Oh… she’s Jenna.” Her brows went up. “Sarah may have mentioned something about the two of you being friends.” Lazarus had to suppress a grin, Alexandra had been asking around about him. She may not want to admit it but she cared. He nodded his head. “Look…it’s complicated. I took Jenna home with me last night but I didn’t touch her. Everyone thinks that we rutted but we didn’t. I haven’t been with any of the humans.” She choked out a laugh. “Yeah, right. Next you’ll tell me that Santa Claus is a vampire and that the reindeers are shifters. I know you slept with…at least one of them.” Lazarus shook his head…again. This female was infuriating. He took another step forward and she took another step away. A small one, her back hit the wall. He took another step, putting her a breath away from him. “The other human females are afraid of me and Jenna is my friend. I like that you are jealous though.” Her mouth tightened and she shook her head so hard that her curls bounced. “No, I’m not. It’s just that you’re wasting my time.” “You are jealous and I’m not wasting your time.” She narrowed her eyes. He could see that she was still not buying it. “I want to get to know you better, Alexandra.” He brushed a wayward strand of hair off of her face and placed his hands on the wall on either side of her head. Her heart rate picked up. “There is something about you that I really like.” He let his eyes move across the delicate features on her face before moving back to her eyes. They reminded him of the ocean. Stunningly beautiful but unpredictable as fuck. She made a snorting noise. “Yeah”—she rolled her eyes—“my boobs. You have a thing for them.” “Let’s get something straight, I don’t like your breasts, Alexandra. I fucking love them.” Every muscle inside of him clenched. “There is more to this though. Much more. I’m not a part of The Program for a quick fuck. I can get that anywhere…easily. I’m here for more. The question is…are you
