I turned away and headed for the shower. “It’s fine. You can leave then if you don’t want what I offered. Actually, send Ty up. I bet he’d love the attention and—”
“You’ve made your point, Inez,” he growled.
“Have I? Because I’ve been very careful and let you get away with a bit too much. So accept or don’t. The choice is yours.” I glanced at him over my shoulder. “You don’t have to get naked. You can get your clothes wet.” I let my fangs slide out. “I’m thirsty. Are you satisfying my need or someone else?”
I felt like a bitch, but I’d felt too much like his bitch.
And I was done with that… From all of them even. I was the princess.
Now I understood how even the good ones became such pompous bitches. They’d been stepped on too often and had to scorch the ground around them and remind people where they stood before they messed up.
It really sucked that we had to behave that way, but the alternative was truly painful.
I left my hair up to wash my body and he came in naked when I was covered in suds.
“Where do you want me?” he asked, his voice gruffer than normal, and I wasn’t sure if that was because of anger or lust.
I wasn’t sure I cared because both were warring inside of me as well.
I studied him a moment. “Have you ever heard the saying ‘don’t open someone’s heart to love if you don’t have any intention of catching them when they fall?’” I gave him a moment to respond, but all he did was swallow loudly. “Nora said it in Gaelic while she was here bitching about how you all twisted me up and did so much damage to me.
“I asked Sebastian finally while you were gone, and he told me what it meant. It gave me a lot to think about.” I nodded to the wall. “You can move there and put your hands against the tile. I wouldn’t want you to accuse me of forcing you to touch me or something. Let me be clear that you’re not actually allowed to touch me.”
“Yes, My Princess,” he whispered, moving where I said. “I’m sorry.”
“Oh, you’re going to have to be more specific on what you’re sorry about,” I said with a dark chuckle. “But I’d be careful not to sound like you regret me because I think the anger you scent from me would win over what else you’re getting.” I was glad when he nodded that he understood.
But then the idiot kept his mouth shut.
Fucking men. Seriously.
So I rinsed, washed my hair, rinsed that too, and then conditioned it which needed a bit to sit. I glanced at his hard groin as I stepped closer. “That looks painful. I’d handle it for you if you didn’t say something so—”
“I’m sorry,” he whispered, his voice cracking. “I shouldn’t have said what I did. You weren’t acting like the Inez I know, and you don’t like the games of—”
“And who is to blame for making me become like this when I didn’t start this way?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. I molded my body to his and acted like I was trying to reach his neck as I rubbed against him. “Are you going to lean down for me or are you enjoying this?”
“You know I am,” he groaned, even as he leaned in so I could reach his neck.
“What do you want more than anything, James?” I breathed in his ear.
“You know. You know exactly what I want, Inez.”
I actually didn’t. All of them had tied me up in such knots and made me feel things that they never followed through with that I was a mess.
So I was mean and did the same even if it was just physically.
I grabbed his cock and stroked it, swallowing a snort when he groaned. “Yeah, I bet this is what you want.” I didn’t wait for him to say anything, moving my hand faster and sinking my fangs in his neck. I drank slowly, making him orgasm over and over again until he had nothing left to even give me.
He growled each time he finished on my skin, knowing others would smell it.
When I’d had enough blood to please him well but still could take more and be safe, I pulled out my fangs and licked the bite closed… And let go of his dick.
I moved under the water and rinsed out the conditioner while keeping his gaze, loving how his chest was heaving and I was completely fine.
Okay, I wasn’t fine. I was turned on as all fuck, but I wasn’t a mess and he was. It felt amazing, but also cold which I hated. There had been… I loved him. I didn’t want to keep feeling anger and cold with the men I loved.
It turned into being numb too fast. I felt that with Darius and Jaxon most days. Cerdic was different because of how big his mental breakdown had been and also the effort he kept trying to put in.
