“Oh no, I’m fine. Really. I’m warming up.” She took a sip of wine. “And the wine helps too.”
“Well, I’ll take it off anyway.”
Sophie raised a perfectly arched brow in confusion.
“Because we’re dancing.”
“What? Dancing? No.” She almost shrank in panic. “No, no, no. You don’t wanna dance with me.”
Alexi laughed cheerfully. “Why not?”
“I’m clumsy. I dance like a confused duck, trust me. I’m the worst. I’m gonna step on your toes, make a fool of myself, and drag you down with me into the pits of unpopularity.”
His eyes lit up at her words. He studied her pretty face for a second, the blush the wine had already painted on her cheeks, and the full lips that were, oh, so inviting. He realized then he wasn’t attracted to her only for her looks and the intensity of her inner demon. There was something else there, behind that shy smile and doe eyes. Something uniquely… Sophie.
“You’re funny,” he said, and offered her his hand. She eyed it reluctantly.
“No.”
“Yes.”
Sophie smiled. His insistence was winning her over, but not the way Kain’s insistence did a few minutes before. Alexi was different. It was as if he was asking for her permission, and she could say “no” at any time, except she didn’t want to. She set her glass next to his, then placed her small hand into his hand. She loved the way his long fingers closed around hers, gently, yet possessively.
Alexi dragged her to the center of the ball room. A song was playing, and there were already some couples moving to the music slowly, teasingly. His left arm went around her waist, and she responded to his touch by pressing her body against his. His cock stood up to attention, which was highly uncomfortable, since Sophie had already given him an erection before the ceremony began, and his balls were still sore. However, when she looked up into his eyes, he forgot all about it.
“Why did you choose me?” She had to ask Alexi the same question she had asked Kain. No, she wasn’t fishing for compliments. She didn’t expect them to praise her or beg for her to choose one or the other. She simply wanted to know the truth. Why had two hot cambions like Alexi and Kain, two of the very best Lure Academy had, as the headmistress had put it, want her, Sophie, an insecure girl with more curves than the white dress she was wearing could fit inside.
“You’re special.”
Sophie threw her head back and laughed wholeheartedly. “Yeah, right.”
Alexi watched her mesmerized. “No, I mean it. There’s something about you I can’t put my finger on. But it’s there, and I can’t wait for us to discover it together.”
Sophie looked him in the eyes, trying to find any sign that he was mocking her or trying to deceive her. His dark green eyes looked sincere.
“Kain said something similar,” she whispered, unsure if she should mention her discussion with the blond. For some reason, she felt like they were rivals. She remembered those challenging looks of defiance they had thrown each other over the glass goblet.
“Did he?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t…”
“It’s okay…” He pulled her even closer. They barely moved to the rhythm of the music. His right arm came to join the other on her waist, and the small gesture made Sophie encircle his neck with both her hands. He leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Just promise me you’ll choose the one you truly believe will help you unleash the power inside you.”
His hot breath tickled the shell of her ear and spread down her neck, raising goosebumps on her bare arms. She hugged him tighter, holding onto his strong shoulders for dear life. She wasn’t sure her knees could take any more tension from these two hot men who seemed to want her so badly. If Kain and Alexi kept it up, her legs would surely give in. A shiver went down her spine and settled right between her legs when she felt the tip of his tongue trace the shell of her ear. She moaned and bit down on her tongue, trying to stop herself from being too loud.
“You’ve got potential, my lovely Sophie,” he whispered. “Your magic is boiling so close to the surface. It’s going to tear you apart if you don’t let it out and learn how to properly control it. Choose the one who’s going to teach you everything he knows, turn you into an expert in the art of…” he trailed off, letting Sophie guess the end of his sentence.
She was too far gone. She was sure she couldn’t make sense of half of what he was saying. All she could see was his rainbow-colored aura dancing around her, transporting her to a dense forest, right after a heavy rain. A small glade, the intense smell of damp earth and crushed leaves. Her pussy throbbed painfully, and she dug her fingers into the soft material of his shirt. He took her earlobe between his teeth and teased it playfully. Her panties were soaked, her walls were clenching like mad, screaming to be stuffed full by the hard cock that was pressed against her stomach. Sophie knew she had to focus if she wanted to break Alexi’s spell and come back to her senses. She gathered the few coherent thoughts which hadn’t been corrupted by the cambion’s aura and aimed them at that foreign thing in her stomach. She felt the skin there burn, as if something was trying to emerge to the surface but didn’t know how.
Alexi noticed the change. Sophie’s fingers released his shirt and she relaxed in his arms. He pulled back slightly, still guiding her through the movements of their slow dance, and studied her face. She smiled up at him, an innocent glint in her brown eyes.
“You already know how to control your powers, don’t you?”
Sophie looked genuinely confused. “I… I don’t.”
“You’ve just fought me. You pushed against my aura.”
Sophie thought for a second. “Instinct. I don’t know what I’m doing. I just know that sometimes, when I’m around you or Kain, I feel… threatened.” She stopped, unsatisfied with her choice of words. “No, that’s not right. Not threatened. Enticed. Tempted. In danger of losing control, of falling prey to… your desires.”
