Now?
Now I wanted to smash different parts.
Smash them together with mine.
And while that sudden need, the intense, overwhelming sensation of being incredibly turned on felt incredible, it didn’t sit right with me.
First, the mate bond fucked with my head, telling me I wanted this man even though I knew fuck all about him. Now the alpha shit was getting in my head too?
I tried to pull away so I could get myself together and organize my thoughts on the matter, but Julian shifted so instead of his palm on my back, his forearm held me in place like a band of steel.
Plus, he still had a grip on my hair.
“Let me go,” I hissed.
“That won’t help, Eden. You have to give into this.”
I pushed against him, just enough to angle my knee upward. If he didn’t let me go, it wouldn’t be a warning this time.
Iwouldjumble his jumblies.
Except the second I tried, he tilted his body away, remembering my trick.
I couldn’t blame him. I would remember someone trying to squish my bits, too. Except now, with his adjusted position, Julian’s exceptionally hard cock pressed into my belly.
Holy Bloody Mary mix. Focus, Eden.
“Give in to the power, Eden. There is no other way.”
The length of his body pressed against me, giving me a perfect mental image of what lay beneath that tailored suit. A broad and hard chest, tapered waist with impossibly defined abs. Strong hips for thrusting…
I shook my head, as much as his grip in my hair allowed, and dislodged my meandering thoughts.
“No, Julian. I don’t want magic influencing my choices.IfI fuck you, I want it to happen becauseIwant it. Not because the mate bond made your voice sound like a rumbly orgasm or because this alpha bullshit makes me want to smash your face in until I want to smash my face on yours. Okay? I need to work this out, logically, without you pressing all your considerable hardness against me.” I pushed against the muscle of his chest and this time, Julian released me.
I put three big steps between us.
Four.
Eh, one more.
“Look,” I sighed, running my hands down my sides to smooth away Julian’s lingering effects. The dominance remained thick in the air, but putting more distance between us made it somewhat bearable. “I realize there’s a lot about vampires I don’t know. But I think there’s a lot about humans you don’t know, and right now, despite the fangs and vamp powers, you need to consider me a human. Complete with a whole mess of cultural differences.”
Julian studied me but remained silent.
I continued. “You know what Ecstasy is, right?”
“If you mean the drug, then yes, I do. Titus likes to reward his loyal human followers with it. It’s why he has so many willing humans to feed from every night. He would never deign to go in public and take someone from the street so, he made a reward system. Thousands line up for the chance to get high and have their blood drained by the king.”
Gross. Another strike against that dude. What didn’t he have his dirty paws in?
Focus.
“Right, well, to me the mate bond is like rolling balls on Molly. Sure, it’s fun, and everything feels nice, but just because some guy’s voice does interesting things to my body and his touch feels like liquid pleasure, that shouldn’t mean I have to marry him.”
I waited a few moments, watching my analogy land in Julian’s headspace.
“Same with the alpha power. To me, it’s impairing my judgment. I don’t know if I, Eden, want to smash my body against yours until I see God, or if it’s just the drugs in my head talking.”
