“Who’s this?”

“Sarah,” I answer. Mae needs to go away. Can’t she take a hint? She holds out her hand, and Sarah shakes it.

“I just want to meet the female who Eric left me for,” she says. Sarah snatches her hand away and Mae looks at me with disappointed eyes. “I never thought it would be a human; the weakest creatures on the planet.”

“I didn’t leave you for her. We broke up a year ago,” I shoot back. What the fuck is wrong with Mae? I never saw this jealous side of her. Sarah rolls her eyes.

“We have to go, Mae.” I lead Sarah down the hallway. I’m going to have to talk to Kate about her sister not staying here. I can’t have her interfering with Sarah and me. Sarah stomps ahead of me. I pull her into an embrace, and she shoves me away.

“Sarah, what’s wrong?” I ask.

“Did you know she was here?” she asks in a bitchy tone. I don’t answer. Instead, I keep walking.

“You should’ve told me. I’m not too fond of your ex flaunting herself in front of me.” I don’t know how to handle these types of situations.

She makes a left and walks up the stairs, and I reach for her arm. I hate to see her mad at me.

“My room is not this way,” I say. She snatches her arm away.

“I’m going back to my room,” she says as my chest constricts; I need her with me.

She’s not going to play games with me. Instead, I continue to follow her. She opens the door and tries to slam it in my face, but I grab the door handle pushing it wide. She lies on the bed.

“How long were you with her? Did you bond with her?” her voice fills with anger.

“I was with her for a few hundred years, and no, I didn’t bond with her,” I answer truthfully.

“That’s a lot of time to spend with someone and not have feelings for them.” I sit on the bed next to her. She doesn’t understand the power of bonding. Once you bond with a female, you have to be with them for the rest of your life.

“How did you learn about bonding?” I never told her about it.

“Dr. Edward.” That’s all she says before rolling over on her stomach.

“You’re mad?” I ask, and she turns over.

“No, it’s not like we’re a couple. You can screw who you want,” she says, and her words sting.

“I have never been in a relationship,” she looks into my eyes, fishing for a reaction.

“Are you a virgin?” I ask.

“No.”

I sit in silence for a while, smelling the slight scent her of arousal. It takes everything in me not to pin her hands above her head and fuck her. My dick is so hard that it aches against my jeans.

“Eric, I can’t do this. Leave.”

“Did—.”

“Just go.” She stomps to the bathroom and slams the door, leaving me speechless. What the fuck did I do?
