“Oh?” she asks, sitting back. “What for?”
“For being an absolute pig last night.”
She lets out a loud laugh and claps her hands. “Don’t apologize for that. I really enjoyed it. I mean,really.”
I give her a half smile. “I know. But that is not how I want to treat you. I think it best that I do not engage in sexual behavior with you and your other men for a while.”
She frowns fiercely, climbing off the bed. “I don’t accept that.” She crawls onto my lap and settles herself comfortably with her hands clasped behind my neck. “I want you with me, always.”
“I will always be here. But when men get a woman to do anything they wish, things get out of hand.”
“None of you did anything that I didn’t want. You might think that they were dictating to me, but you are new. This is my show. They know that. They treat me the way I want, when I want. As soon as I’m done, they stop.”
She wiggles slightly, enticing me to reach up and run my thumbs over her peaked nipples. She loosens her hold and leans back slightly, offering her delights to me to suck. I take one in my mouth and flick it with my tongue. She lets out that soft moan of pure desire that fires up my cock like nothing else ever has.
“More,” she whispers.
I pull back. “No,” I say in a normal tone. “You need time to recover. You were utterly savaged last night.”
She pouts at me in a sexy way that makes me wish I could reconsider, but I can’t.
“I heal quickly,” she points out.
“You do, but my answer is still no. I wish for you to make time for me, alone, later on.”
She shakes her head. “Not how it works.”
“You had time with Jerrick alone yesterday.”
“That was different. It wasmydecision.”
“Oh, I see,” I say, giving her a smile.
She leans forward to kiss me. “You will continue to join in with group sex,” she murmurs against my lips. “If we find a moment to be alone, don’t let it slip by.”
She climbs off my lap as I let out a soft groan. “You are a bossy little goddess,” I murmur.
“You love it, and you know it,” she retorts, and then, blowing me a kiss, she disappears into her bathroom. I want nothing more than to follow her and take her under the torrent of water that comes out of the wall, but I won’t.
“I sure do,” I mutter and sit back, debating on whether to be here when she comes back or not.
A few seconds later, she pops her head back out. “Meet me in the room where you found me meditating the other day, in about an hour,” she says. “It’s time you taught me a bit about my new power.”
I nod but don’t say anything as she ducks back into the bathroom. Standing up, knowing that I was dismissed, the concept delights me. I do love a powerful woman. It doesn’t stop me from asserting my own strength, but knowing that she is my equal, or will be one day, heats up my blood.
I bump into Theo on my way out.
“Feeding time?” I inquire.
He gives me a hard stare. “What’s it to you?”
“I meant no offense,” I say, putting my hand over my heart. “Just making conversation.”
“Oh,” he says. “Well, no. I was hoping to catch Savvie before she started her day.”
“She is under the bathroom waterfall.”
His eyes narrow behind those spectacles he wears for show. I know Vampires have perfect eyesight.
