It was just how it was.

She did not want to get to know any of them. And she did not want to get to know Arken. So, she deflected, “Why are you even interested in me?”

“Because of the way you volunteered to take your friend’s place tonight. Molly,” he added.

“So, you’re punishing me?”

“On the contrary. I admire you for it.”

The blood rushed to her face in embarrassment. It wasn’t fair. She should not be the one to feel embarrassed, not when Arken was in the wrong, but she couldn’t help it. Not when he said things like that.

“So, this is meant to be a reward?” she muttered, trying to keep the disdain from her voice.

“Well, my dear…I’ll let you be the judge of that. But I feel you deserve to experience an orgasm. I can help you with that.”

Susie nearly scoffed in reply when Arken touched her cheek. She stilled, breathless as he held her chin and thumbed her lower lip. His words were quieter, deadlier when he spoke. “Tell me, Susanna. What can I do to help you get there?”

“You could help by leaving the room,” she shot back. “That would give me the highest chance.”

“Don’t sass me,” Arken said, but he was smiling, his eyes gleaming as if he enjoyed the exchange.

It was a miracle he hadn’t reprimanded her yet for her tone of voice, and it made her wonder what his limits were. Where was the line she’d have to cross for him to be cruel to her? Because there was always a line—the tripwire was never far away with vampires.

Arken was waiting for her response.

Seriously?

Susie repressed a groan, uncomfortably conscious of how hard he still was inside her. How could he stay aroused while simply talking to her?

“Look,” she began, trying not to sound irritable, “I can’t climax during sex, all right? It’s just not possible—my body doesn’t work that way.”

And I don’t want to.

“I’m confident you’re mistaken, Susie.” He pulled his hips back, easing several inches of his cock out of her.

Oh no…

She waited for him to thrust back in, to make her hurt…but when he pushed back in, he was careful.

The rub of his engorged member caused fire to dance along her insides. There was something achingly good about how he moved inside her.

He repeated the motion, sliding in, sliding out, several more times.

Then he stilled.

That was when Susie realised she’d closed her eyes, absorbing the shivery tingles coursing through her. Her eyes flew open to catch Arken staring, one corner of his lip curled in an unabashed smile.

“Well, what do you say, Susie?”

“I’ve got nothing to say to you.”

“I hope that’s not true.”

“Just hurry up,” she snapped, no longer bothering to be polite. He’d already been here…what, an hour?

He tipped his head to whisper in her ear, his deep tone resonant. “Are you asking me to take you faster?”

Hmph.
