As I’d hoped, Elijah’s eyes fill with jealousy and possessiveness. “Of course not. I brought Parker here so that I wouldn’t have to share you.” He sucks in a deep breath and steps right up to my bars. “You’re mine, Nora. And I’ll kill anyone who touches you. You have my word.”
He’s getting more and more excited now that I’m not fighting him. He wants this union. He wants me. Badly. This is it. Time to use my feminine wiles on this guy. I’ve never done it before.
When I purposefully try to lure him in, he leans closer to my cage, as if he’s literally being drawn to me. Surprise rocks me. Am I doing this? Is this a power of mine? Like Cecile’s?
I grip one of the bars and look at him as if I’m falling under his spell instead of the other way around. I chew on my bottom lip, and his gaze falls to my mouth. His eyes glaze over. “Elijah…” I whisper. “Come closer.”
He does. Without question. Holy shit! I’m better at this seductress thing than I thought.
I lick my lips and push out my chest until it presses against the bars. I’m in a T-shirt that doesn’t show any cleavage, but I’ve got enough of a shape that the gesture still catches his attention. He gulps and places his hand around mine on the bar. “You can trust me, Nora.”
He really believes this. He believes he wants to protect me and take care of me. And he’s certain that once we forge our connection, I’ll feel so close to him that I’ll want to be with him as much as he wants to be with me.
He reaches through the bar to cup my cheeks in his hands. I place my hand around his wrist and allow him to touch me while I prepare to make my move.
“Nora…” he says softly. “I need you. Say you want to be mine.”
I know I’ll only get this one chance, so I give it everything I’ve got. I grip his wrists and yank him forward as hard as I can, smashing his face into the bars of my cage. The hit stuns him but doesn’t quiet knock him out, so I reach through the bars and grab him from the back of the head. “I’ll never be yours, asshole,” I say as I smash his head into the bars three more times, until his eyes finally roll back in his head.
