Page 6 of Stolen By the Necromancer

Slipping an arm around her waist, I cupped her chin in my other hand as I lowered my lips to hers. Her body tensed and then relaxed against me, her hands slipping up my chest and around the back of my neck as she gave in to me.

The contact and the sweet floral scent that gripped me only fuelled the desire within me. When she moaned, her fingers tightening their grip on the cotton of my t-shirt, it took everything within me to keep from pulling her back into the now vacant lecture theatre, and fucking her over one of the chairs.

But I had to play this smart.

Reluctantly, I released her and stepped away.“I’llbe seeing you around.”

Without a word, she spun around and rushed down the hallway. With one final quick glance over her shoulder, she escaped out of the building and out of sight.

I sprinkled the final few rose petals onto the bed and then took a step back, admiring my handiwork. This was romantic – I think. I was planning on making her dinner and then finishing the date in my bed, ravishing her body. I needed to ensure she was a virgin, that’s how I justified it to myself. If I’m the first and only man she’llhave lain with, then it would give me a much more pure and powerful energy to siphon. Admittedly, I couldn’t help myself from fucking her before the ritual. After all, it would be a shame to see the light within her expire without feeling her body writhe against mine as she moaned out in passion.

I’d been playing an amusing cat-and-mouse game with her all week. She did her best to repel me, but it was useless. By the end of the week, she seemed to be coming around, her magic barely fighting me anymore when I was in her presence.

Looking around the bedroom, a grin spread across my lips. I had to make sure everything was perfect for her arrival, so she’d willingly fall into my bed, begging me to take her.

Once satisfied with my home, a grand three-story house on the outskirts of the graveyard where the ritual would take place, I grabbed the present I’d enchanted just for her and slipped it into my pocket.

Humming, I left, intent on making her mine tonight.

“I thought he creeped you out?” Jules stated as she sat cross-legged on her bed, watching me get ready for my date with Nero.“Don’t get me wrong, he’s as hot as fuck, I’llbe the first to admit that. But how you behave when he’s around seems so unlike you. Nearly fucking this guy at the club and now going to his place for dinner. I mean, it seems a little reckless.”

Frowning, I finished applying my mascara and then looked up from the mirror and over at her.“You do stuff like this all the time. Hell, every girl on campus gets fucked on a regular basis. He’s hot, maybe I want a little taste of rebellion for myself.”

“Yeah, but…”

I sighed.“I’vealways been the weirdo. The girl that never got picked. I didn’t even have a date for prom. So Ididn’t go. I got picked this time and it feels good.”

“You’re not a weirdo.” Sliding off the bed, she came to sit beside me, draping her arm over my shoulder.“You have so much to offer. No one thinks of you that way.”

“Maybe not. But they did.”

“In your old life.”

“Yeah, I know it’s my old life, but it still hurts. I think I’m the only virgin on campus.”

Her frown deepened.“I guarantee you’re not. Besides, that’s not a bad thing. You’vesaid it yourself that he gives you a weird feeling. What if that’s your instincts telling you to stay away? Just because he’s sexydoesn’t mean he can’tstill be a creep.”

“Maybe not, but I want to live like everyone else. Nero seems interested in me. Genuinely interested. He’s in our class. We know who he is. Nothing is going to happen.” I looked into her dark eyes pleadingly.“Can’t you be happy for me?”

She smiled.“You know, you’re right. I’m sorry. I’lldrop it. I am truly happy for you.”

Lifting the mirror up to my face, I gave my appearance another inspection. My ivory complexion was blemish-free thanks to masterfully applied makeup. Hopeful green eyes, lined with brown cat’s eye makeup, looked back at me.

Placing the mirror on my desk next to the bed, I slid off the bed and stood in front of Jules, awaiting her approval.“So, how do I look?”

“Hot enough that I think I’m going to have to give you an entire box of condoms, just in case.”

I laughed.“You realize that I don’t even know if it’llhappen tonight. Maybe he’llturn out to be a giant dick over dinner and I’llbe home early to cry over a tub of Häagen-Dazs.”

She gave me a wink.“I won’t wait up.”
