I give him a grin. “That I can do. Zain’s a good man. I couldn’t agree with that direction for him more. I’ll give him a call tomorrow.”
His brow knits. “There is one thing. Zaigon, he wasn’t pleased at all about Zain. We may need to feel that out a little more.”
Zaigon has gotten more pessimistic and obnoxious as the years go by. He gives Embry any trouble and that prick’s going to be dealing with me. “I’ll handle it personally.”
Descallia’s dark eyes flash and he smirks. “For some reason I knew you wouldn’t hand that encounter off to one of the lords. In the meantime, we should probably get home and see what these females are up to.”
I call over to the other masters left convened on the street waiting for our discussion to end. “Ready to go check in on the females?”
Chapter 31
Embry
Ifeel Corvinus before I see him and slowly spin from my position on the makeshift dance floor toward the door where he stands watching me with reddened eyes. The arrogant lord knew I would sense him the moment he walked into this estate. My feet move toward him as in a trance. Anywhere he is, I want to be. It’s been that way since the very first time I met him.Wannadance,vampire?
That arrogant smirk gets me every time, sending waves of desire snaking down the length of my spine as I meet him at the door. His hand snakes around my nape, drawing me close as a slow song comes over the speakers. Lord Corvinus whispers in my ear. “Dance with me, love.”
His hand slides down the length of my back, settling at my lower back, his powerful arms drawing me closer as we make our way back to the dance floor. His eyes don’t leave mine as the seductive beat of the music plays, clasping my hand in his as we begin to move in time to the dark timbered music that seems to be made just for us. My eyes meet his and my heart beats fast. “I could feel you watching me, vampire.”
Corvinus draws me closer, leans down and whispers in my ear. “You’ll always feel me watching you. Wherever you go… I’ll be near, right there taking care of, watching over, and protecting you, no matter where or what you find yourself involved in, love. It’s one of the non-negotiables in our relationship. It doesn’t matter that you’re the leader of the warriors. Where you’re concerned, I’m still in charge.”
My head rests against his chest as the seductive beat of the music plays. “Because you like to be in charge.”
His cock is hard against my belly telling me what I already know, but still, I want to hear it from him because this arrogant and dominant lord in charge, that’s always going to flip my switch, his sexual proclivities are always going to turn me on in the most delicious of ways.
Lord Corvinus’s lips capture mine, causing everything south to clench with a delicious desire that I know he’s going to ignite with a passion that cannot be extinguished tonight. My eyes meet his as his fangs descend, causing my pussy to weep as he moves me slowly and strategically around the makeshift dance floor of Descallia’s great room.
There’s no way he doesn’t already know what I’m wanting him to say. My arms raise so they can encompass his neck. “You should take me home because I want you in the most carnal of ways, vampire.”
He smirks which just drives me half insane. “Anticipation adds to the desire.”
“You like the control too much, vampire.”
Corvinus pulls me closer. “I do like to be in control and I’m never going to be far from your side. Can you live with that, love?”
My heart enlarges with every single word Corvinus says. To be his, like this, it’s more than I could even have imagined. Corvinus waits for an answer while cradling me in his arms. Hisbreath brushes against the sensitive skin of my ear. “Tell me what I want to hear.”
Every neuron in my body clenches. My hand wraps around my mate, clasping him possessively to me. “Yes, I want to be yours, forever and always, love. Your protectiveness, possessiveness, I want it all. You by my side always. Take me home, vampire.”
“Slow down love, we’re going to spend a little time mingling with our friends before I take you home and give you your way.”
Everything south clenches with that uncontrollable desire that only Corvinus can sate, but I know exactly what he’s doing, and I don’t want to wait. Hmm. “You’re teasing me at the most inopportune time,” I whisper.
He glances around at the makeshift dance floor where more than a few of the masters have their mates in their arms. “We mingle with our friends, and then when I think you’re ready, we go home. Not until.”
“You are killing me, vampire.”
Corvinus smirks as the slow song comes to an end. He leans down and whispers in my ear. “Let the anticipation build, you’ll see how hard you come on the end of my dick as a result.”
Well, it’s not like I can argue with that, but still. I reluctantly let him lead me to the bar where Romano, Raven, Descallia and Lucianna are talking. “What would you like?” Corvinus asks.
I grin. “One more margarita?”
He laughs as Raven nods in agreement while holding her empty glass up to a smirking Romano. Raven moves next to me as the guys talk and pour drinks. “There’s something I’ve been thinking about, I can’t get it off of my mind.”
Raven doesn’t even give me a chance to say a word. “You know I love the vampires, would do anything for them, right?”
“Of course.”
