where it is coming from.
He looks at me then, concerned. “Aefre, it has been so long
for you. I know that it isn’t really what you want.”
“It is,” I insist.
“No, you are too good for that now, my sweet. It isn’t who
you are anymore. This feeling must be coming from the mystery power that is
trying to mess with you.”
I pout at him and he sighs, “Don’t look at me like that. I
find it hard to refuse you.”
“Please,” I coax him. “Please do this for me.” I run my
hands down his now healed chest.
He pushes us over so I am underneath him again and says,
“This way you are feeling isn’t you, Aefre.”
“Yes it is,” I snap at him. “I want to feed, to kill.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“Leave it for tonight. If you still feel this way tomorrow I
will personally take you Hunting,” he says, deliberately using the word Hunting
to try and put me off.
“Then you had better start thinking where you can take me,”
I say before he kisses me, so sweetly that I know he is trying to distract me.
I am about to protest his actions when he enters me and, well, I just forget
about everything else. He makes slow love to me, ensuring I get the maximum
pleasure (and distraction) out of it until I am throbbing around him for the
third time. I roll us over. “I want to fuck you,” I whisper to him.
“Don’t let me stop you then,” he purrs. “I love it when you
take over.”
“You do?” I asked, surprised. “Whatever happened to sire
dominance?”
“It is replaced with your soon-to-be-husband’s love,” he
replies.
“You don’t want to dominate me anymore?”
He shakes his head.
This disturbs me a bit. It is not like him at all. I try a
different tactic. I lower my eyes to his mouth and say in as submissive of a tone
as I can muster, “Don’t you want to play with me, Master?” I peek up at him
through my lowered lashes.
His eyes flash. “Don’t, Aefre,” he warns me.
“Please,” I whisper. “I’m not asking you to go hardcore on
me, I just want to play. It has been months.” I lean forward so my nipples are
brushing against his chest and I start to move over him slowly.
“I can’t,” he says. “I don’t want to. It’s all or nothing,”
he says despondently.
“Then give me your all,” I say bravely.
“No.”
“Stop denying me!” I am getting mad now. “You said you would
give me anything I wanted.”
He grabs my wrists tightly, “But the two things you want are
the two things I won’t give you. I’m sorry, my love, I don’t want to deny you
anything, but you can’t ask me to hurt you and you can’t ask me to allow you to
kill.”
I howl in frustration, “I’m not asking you to hurt me.”
“But I will. I told you last year that next time you ask me
to do that I won’t be able to hold back. Is that what you really want? For me
to do to you what he did?” Again I know he is saying these things to deter me
but I am not going to let that stop me.
“Yes,” I say to his absolute horror.
“No!” he yells at me as he pushes us back over, “You are
just saying that to be defiant. Don’t be a stubborn fool, Aefre.” He pins my
hands to the ground painfully tight and I struggle out of reflex. “I love you,”
he says softly. “Please just come back to me. Whoever this is, it isn’t you.”
And again he takes me but this time hard and fast, as the
mood requires. I forget all about my unreasonable demands as I just want him.
Everywhere. I roll us back over and he is wary this time but he moans as I
swivel around so my back is facing him. He runs his hands down over my Dragon
and She flutters across my back under his touch. He pays Her special attention
and I giggle inwardly as I know it’s because he now knows that Cole does this.
Men are so competitive, it’s so silly. I feel myself coming back, the power
rush has died and I cast a quick glance over my shoulder at the terrace and the
mysterious figure has vanished. I make a mental note to ask
