She jumps off the bed as she slides her panties back into place. “Here we go again. Let’s hear it, Liam. Tell me all about how it was all a mistake, again.”
I feel her accusation settle deep in my chest.
“Selene,” I say gently. “I didn’t want to hurt you.”
“Just decapitate me, huh? Oh, I remember. Your actual choice of words was ‘I will drive the stake through your heart myself.”
She is looking around for something to cover herself in.
This is not how I wanted any of this to go.
“Selene, please.”
“You can go.”
“I am not going anywhere,” and then, before I can overthink anything, I reach out and pull her to me.
She comes willingly.
I sit on the bed and pull her into my lap. She is so soft and small in my arms.
How could I have said such horrible things to her?
In this moment, she is not a vampire. She is not my enemy. She is a vulnerable woman who’s upset, by my actions.
I push her bangs back and cup her cheeks, forcing her to face me. “Stop fighting me right now, okay? We can go back to you wanting to bite my head off in the morning.”
She swallows hard. “Okay.”
“Now, tell me, did I hurt you? And don’t fucking lie to me.”
She shakes her head. “No. It was all intense, but I was not in pain or anything like that.”
“Good. And what about everything else? Have you had someone go down on you before?”
She bites her lower lip again, making my cock stir once more. “No. You were the first.”
Is she blushing right now?
“No one?”
She shakes her head. “Is that weird?”
“No, Selene. I mean, I thought you would have at least experimented with someone before.”
She bites her lips once again. Damn! That’s sexy. It’s making my cock harden.
“I kissed someone once. Does that count?”
I hate the jealousy that I feel at those words.
I know it’s selfish, but I liked the idea of taking all her firsts.
“Please don’t talk about other men when you are just in your panties, sitting a few centimeters from my cock, Selene.”
This is the first time I see actual mirth on her face as she eyes the bulge in my pants and then drags her eyes back to me.
“Are all wolves this possessive? Or is it just you?”
