But down here, right now, I’m allowing this man to claim me as his. I’m done fighting what’s happening between us... I want him.
“Nikolas,” I moan out his name and feel how he stiffens against me. He pulls away from my neck and looks into my eyes. “I want this… I want you.”
He continues to slam inside of me and lifts his hand up to my throat. “You want to Entwine, baby?”
I nod and a moan escapes me just as a tear runs out of the side of my eye. “Y-yes… Please, I want this… all of this. I’m… ready.”
He blinks rapidly, and a frown crosses his brow… not soon afterward, I feel a build-up again and his pace picks up, leaning me to another orgasm that nearly has me blacking out. Church grunts into my neck, his thrusts becoming faster and faster until he stiffens up and his hold around my body tightens.
With the both of us gasping for air, he slowly withdraws from me and loosens the shackles at my wrists, rubbing them and placing kisses along them.
“Do they hurt?” he asks, looking at me weirdly and I shake my head. “Okay, good.”
While he continues to kiss my wrists and caress my skin, I can’t help but feel like there’s something he’s not telling me, and not being someone who shuts up, I ask him.
“Is something wrong?”
He turns his gaze to me and his lips are a thin line when he lets out a sigh.
“You don’t really want to Entwine, Xenia; you were just caught up in the moment.” He says, stunning me with those words before turning his back on me and walking to where his sweatpants lay.
But as his words hit me, I rush over to him and pull him back. “What?! Please explain to me how you came to that conclusion on your own?!”
Giving me a sad smile, he slips on his sweatpants and crosses his arms. “Tell me right now, with the same passion as you just did, that you want to Entwine and I will take back what I just said.”
I take a step back and my heartbeat spikes, but that’s all the answer Church needs before he sighs and walks out of the cellar.
CHURCH
Xenia doesn’t know this yet, but I can tell when she’s serious about something and when she’s just saying it out of excitement. I’ve been around her long enough these last few weeks to know this about her.
So when she mentions she wants to Entwine in the middle of sex, I knew that she didn’t mean a fucking word of it.
I storm into my bathroom and wash my hands before splashing my face with cold water and raking my fingers through my hair in frustration.
This is definitely not how I pictured our first intimate moment going. It started off sexy as hell, I could barely contain myself while slamming into her; then she had to fucking ruin it with those words.
How the fuck do we come back from that?
A knock on my door and I know it was Xenia. She opens it and walks inside, wearing nothing but a t-shirt. Her face is somewhat red, and a confused expression marrs over her face.
“I’m not in the mood for a fight right now, Xenia,” I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Let’s just cool off before getting back into it.”
She shakes her head and walks over to me. “I’m not here to fight. I’m here to find out why you think I didn’t mean what I said,” she says, crossing her arms.
I place my hands in the pockets of my sweats and sigh. “The last few weeks I’ve spent with you, I’ve picked up on your tells. When you get excited, you say whatever comes to mind, but you usually regret it afterward. Like when you wanted us to go to that pub while we waited for Valentine to get better. You regretted it because you drank too much and woke up with the worst hangover of your life.”
She chuckles. “Yeah, that was a bad one. I puked blood for days because of the alcohol poisoning.”
I nod, remembering how I had to take care of her. “And when you wanted to stop at that sketchy diner on the way over here because it was the first thing you saw for miles. Their food was so bad that we walked out.” I say, walking over to her and placing my hands on her shoulders.
“I don’t want you to make this decision in the heat of the moment, Xen. You need to really think about this. If we have to Entwine, it usually comes with a bite from Pres to turn you; I don’t want you to throw your life away if you’re not sure about becoming a vampire.”
She casts her eyes downwards, breathing out a sigh. “But then, what would that mean for us? Didn’t you want us to Entwine and be together as a couple?”
God, she looks adorable right now. I don’t know Xenia to be a coy or shy woman, but she has her moments, and it always makes me want to kiss the hell out of her.
I place my forefinger under her chin and tilt her chin so she can face me. “Baby, I wanted us to be together and stop the bullshit. Entwining and deciding to become a vampire can always come later; you’re my Fated, so it’s inevitable, but if you’re not ready right now, then you’re not ready.” I say, then pull her into an embrace.
