Heat rolled through my body, and I swiveled my hips the other way.
He followed me there, too.
The pulse of the music thrummed around us, our bodies rocking together.
Wetness pooled between my thighs as his grip grew tighter, his movements rougher.
The dance alone told me there would be nothing soft or sweet about sex with Bash. He would destroy me—and I would love every damn minute of it.
When the song ended, his lips brushed my ear. “We need to go home. Tell your friends you’re tired.”
His fingers slowly, reluctantly, unclamped from my waist.
I stepped away from him, my body aching for more.
More dancing.
More touching.
More ofhim.
“I’m going to call it a night,” I told Miles and Tatum, throwing my arms around them both. The crowd was still moving around us, but no one dared push the demon men around. They were too big. “It’s been fun! Or at least, fun-ish!” I winked at them, and Tatum laughed.
“Let’s dance at my house next time,” she called out.
“Deal!”
“I’ll text you the date for the girls’ night so we can get it on the calender!” Miles promised.
Bash didn’t grab me again as we slipped out of the crowd, though his body was directly behind mine.
I didn’t touch him, either.
We didn’t say a word to each other on the way to the Hummer, or when he opened the door and lifted me inside the vehicle.
He took his seat and started the engine. His eyes lingered on the city around us, staying off of me, and I stared out at it too.
A long moment passed before he finally said, “I have to tell you something.”
His voice was low, with that tone I loved, but something about the words seemed… colder.
“Go for it.” I slipped my shoes off and pulled my legs up onto the seat with me, glad my dress was stretchy despite being outrageously tight.
“You and my mom were looking for my potential mate. She left because she realized she’d already found you—I’dalready found you. Unintentionally. I’ve never wanted a mate, so I tried to stay away from you. It’s not working anymore.”
“I know. She told me, before she left.”
He let out a long breath. “Of course she did.”
I nodded.
He pinched the bridge of his nose.
“If you don’t want a mate, I see two potential options,” I said, still staring straight ahead. “You can find a vampire to turn me, and we can go for that. There’s a good chance it would erase the bond between us, the same way it created one between Miles and Zander.”
He growled at the idea. “No. Your brothers would kill me, and even if they wouldn’t, I could never hurt you like that.”
“Vampirism isn’t a painful,” I argued.
