"And if we're being honest, you're the first one to rip at me with your teeth."
His eyes snap to mine and I hold them with confidence. They're reflecting off the fire and I melt inside. He's so alluring, a true predator in his natural environment.
"I think that's enough whiskey for you." He grabs my empty glass and walks to the table, but I already feel brazen, too brazen to hold my tongue or my thoughts.
"Aren't you going to wish me a happy birthday?" My voice is a whisper and his jaw twitches. My eyes travel down, and I can't stop staring at his forearms. He says nothing and it allows me to get lost in his magnificence even more. Minutes must have passed by before he spoke again, his voice like charcoal.
"Your semester starts soon. You should be ready to go back to your dorm shortly, but there will be some changes you must welcome in this transition."
I swallow, my throat growing dry. His skin is stretching so tightly over his muscles that it looks like they're trying to break free. He's so dark and tall, crowding the room like thick fog. I look up at him with hazy eyes, desire pooling between my legs.
My time is limited right? Might as well get something out of it, scratch this annoying fucking itch that is Dante.
"Aren't you going to ask me what I want for my birthday?" His massive hands clenched into fists.
"What do you want, Esmeralda?"
I swallow again, licking my lips to wet them. I want this man so much it hurts. I think it hurts so much because I hate him, hate him even more because of the desire for him.
"I want you to make love to me."
He immediately starts walking towards me.

Esmeralda
He stopsbefore me and towers over me, his eyes dark and deadly. I wet my lips in anticipation and when he speaks, his voice is the darkest that it’s ever been.
“Let’s get a few things straight, Esmeralda.” I shiver at the way he says my name.
“I don’t make love, I fuck. And I don’t fuck women who can’t handle the way that I fuck.”
I should be speechless or angry at his comment, but it fuels me instead. I stand up and face him, our noses only a breath away from touching. His eyes are so bright like this, I can see every gold and amber fleck in them.
“What makes you think that I don’t know how to fuck? You’ve followed me my whole life, but not into the beds I’ve laid in.”
He sneers at my comment and a foreign emotion crosses his face. It almost looks like jealousy. His jaw ticks before he speaks, like he’s grinding his teeth.
“I don’t need to know about theboysthat you’ve been with, Esmeralda. I doubt they even pale in comparison to what I’d do to you. I doubt that they’ve even made you come.”
His words make me tremble with want.
“So you do want me? There are things you’ve thought about doing with me.”
I smile slyly at him and his eyes narrow, but he doesn’t respond.
“Because I’ve thought about doing things to you. Even you know that. You’ve watched me come to the thought of you. You’ve always watched me. So why won’t you just do it? Am I so horrible that even you won’t fuck me?”
His large hand wraps around my throat in a second, his thumb pressing lightly against my pulse. It enthralls me. It makes me want him more and isn’t that fucked up?
“You want a monster to fuck you? Is that it? You want to be tainted with darkness so badly that you’ll stoop to the level of fucking a monster?”
I say nothing and his hand grips my throat tighter, still allowing me to breathe.
“You wouldn’t be able to handle the way that I would make you come. I’d leave you begging and red for me, I’d want to hurt you. Because that is the way that I fuck, Esmeralda. I fuck to hurt. I fuck so that the women in my bed only ache for me.”
I feel jealousy seep through at the mention of other women. He’s trying to intimidate me, but instead he’s making me feel worthless. I turn my head away, unable to look at him now. I really was an idiot for thinking of even trying this. Thanks a lot to the expensive whiskey. I’ve always heard of liquid courage, but not about the rejection that comes after it.
