It seemed to take forever, but eventually, she gave me a shy smile and nodded. “Yeah. Yes. Definitely.”
I planted a hard kiss on her lips, then turned to the rest of the group, or as many of them as I could take in at once.
“I’m officially off the market.”
There were cheers, along with noises of protest from some of the girls. My two best friends grinned at me, genuinely happy for me, and I returned their grins. It was a relief that they were okay with it. Especially Roman—I hadn’t been sure how he’d take it. He’d been very anti-relationship since…since the summer we were fifteen and Quinn Farrow had disappeared from our lives. He’d never discussed what had happened between them, but all I knew was he’d changed after she’d left Hatherley Hall for good. As for me, I’d never seen the appeal of monogamy, but now Elena was in my life, and I got it. And when she’d left… I’d missed her more than I knew it was possible to miss someone, and that had to be a crystal-clear sign. This wasn’t about being tied down; it was about making a commitment to a person you really fucking wanted to be with, to the point that you couldn’t even imagine being with anyone else.
Still holding Elena’s hand, I began tugging her away from the sofas. “Got to seal the deal now.”
Elena’s cheekbones were an even deeper shade of pink after my words, but she laughed, turning back to our friends. “If I can’t walk properly tomorrow, blame Knox.” I noticed that she was mostly directing her comment at Freya, and I smirked, dipping my head to her ear as we headed for the stairs.
“I love this side of you.”
“What side?”
“The jealous side. Not that you have anything to worry about. I’m all yours, baby. When I asked you to be my girlfriend, it was purposely public so that everyone knows you’re mine.”
She turned her head, pressing a kiss to my jaw. “Mmm. I liked it earlier when you got jealous of Will saying he’d bitten me. He didn’t, by the way.”
“You liked that, did you? I know he didn’t get his mouth anywhere near you because you wouldn’t let anyone else get close. You’re too into me.” I pulled her through the archway.
“No desecrating the tombstones!” Tristan shouted, but I just utilised my free hand, flipping him my middle finger as we continued to move towards the locked door that led to my own private space.
“He’s a bit too interested in our sex life for my liking,” Elena said, amusement dancing in her gaze as she took in the finger I was directing at my friend. Her eyes returned to mine, and they darkened in a way that had my dick fucking throbbing. “But going back to what you just said, you’re right. I’m into you. Very into you.”
Unlocking my bedroom door with one hand, I trailed the other up her stomach and onto her breast, hearing her breath hitch as I stroked my thumb over her nipple. “I’m gonna be into you in a minute.”
“That was the worst…line…ever,” she breathed as I manoeuvred us both inside my bedroom and shut and locked the door. The noise of the party was instantly muffled, and I could hear her unsteady breaths. Now I had both hands free, I continued palming her lush tits as I walked her into the centre of the room, my cock throbbing against the curve of her ass.
“You look so fucking good in this dress, but you’re going to look even better out of it.” I lowered the straps, peeling the dress away from her body until there was a pool of sapphire-blue satin at her feet.
“And the lines keep coming,” she muttered, but her pupils were dilated, and her nipples were so fucking hard they could cut glass. Fucking beautiful. My fingers skimmed across her waist and then down to the scrap of deep blue silk that covered her pussy. I tugged, dragging the material down her legs until she was bared to me in nothing but a pair of heels.
Yeah. So. Beautiful.
I stepped away from her, over to my chest of drawers. Opening the top drawer, I closed my fingers around the slim velvet box. “The vampire bite looks good, and it gives me ideas for later, but I think we can improve on it.”
I went back to her and opened the box, lifting it up so she could see inside.
She gasped. “Knox, is that—”
“Not quite the same, but I think you’ll like this better.” I lifted the collar from its box and spun her around, pushing her long hair over her shoulder so I could fasten it around her neck. It looked very similar to the diamond choker, but it was essentially a thin strip of the softest leather studded with diamonds all along the outside.
When it was in place, I turned her back around. The diamonds lined her throat, a perfect row of iridescent sparkles against her flushed skin.
So fucking sexy. My cock had never been as hard before as it was right now, and I needed to be inside her, to claim her, to own her, to make sure she knew that she was mine.
“This is too much. I can’t—”
Cutting off her words with my mouth on hers, I repositioned us so we were standing in front of my full-length mirror—or at least, mine for now, because I’d liberated it from the lower level of the crypts earlier today. I turned her around again so that we were both facing the mirror and then directed her to put her hands on the back of the chair that I’d purposely placed in that exact spot.
“Bend over. Keep your hands there. Don’t move.” I released her, walking around the chair so I was in front of her with my back to the mirror. From this angle, she should be able to see both my front and my back.
I took my time stripping out of my clothes, fucking loving the way she was white-knuckling the back of the chair, her breaths coming hard and fast as I exposed my body to her. Was there anything better than wanting someone so fucking badly and knowing that they wanted you just the same in return? It was more than that too. The other F-word was involved.Feelings. Yeah, I had so many fucking feelings for this girl it was honestly blowing my mind. I’d never felt this way before, never even come close. Not even remotely.
When I was as naked as she was, I moved around behind her, admiring the curve of her back and ass before sliding my hand down between her legs.Fuck. She was so wet and ready for me.
“I’ll take my time with you later. But right now, I don’t think either of us can wait, can we?” I ran my free hand up her back, then curved my fingers around her throat. The diamonds were cool against my overheated skin. When I squeezed lightly, she gasped.
