It was?
I tried to push him away, but my palms met a solid wall of muscle that refused to move. “Get your head out of your ass. I’m not a shifter, okay? I wasn’t trying to claim you, or whatever.”
I think.
He took his time and drew in a long inhale, brushing aside my hair before he licked my neck.
Oh, well, that’s kind of nice.
I mentally slapped myself and focused on the burn on my arm where the rune kept my succubus side in check. Nope, not going to let my succubus side take over my mental faculties. Repeat the mantra, Lils.
…. You’re greater than your sex-drive.
… … You’re greater than your sex-drive.
… … … Your sex-drive is great.
Dammit.
Logan chuckled. “Succubus? Is that what you are? I didn’t know your kind were allowed on campus.”
My blood ran cold and I tried shoving him away again, but he retaliated this time by pushing his leg between my thighs. An agonizing pressure ran up my core and made me want to forget getting away from him. My nostrils flared, taking in a new scent.
Lust.
“Stop that,” I hissed, but it was too late. I had his scent now and it was delicious. A magical mix of a forest and moonlight. His hand fell to my hip as he grated his thigh harder against me, making me groan. “Did you trick me into mating with you, little succubus? And claws. That’s a nice touch. I knew succubi were a branch of demons, but—”
Demons.
That was where my claws had come from. I was one-third demonspawn and my worst fears were coming true. The deepest, darkest parts of me were coming to the surface and I clamped that knowledge down tight. Those were not thoughts I wanted drifting into Logan’s mind to shout to the rest of the Academy and get me expelled, or worse.
He frowned as he nosed my neck. “You’ve shut your mind off to me. Why?”
“Because I deserve privacy,” I countered, feeling that cold sensation spread through my chest again. A gnawing hunger ate at me and the rune Kaito had put on my arm began to burn.
Shit. My super strength. My claws. Those were magical attributes fueled by something inside of me, and my stores were starting to get low.
I so was not going to refuel on a wolf.
He chuckled, sending his breath hot against my skin. I couldn’t help the urge to arch into him. He was all muscle and tightness as he closed in around me like a prison I never wanted to escape. “I couldn’t hear all of that, but I sense your need, darling. I scent your heat.” He ran his tongue down my jaw, eliciting a shiver from my body. “And you smell delicious.”
No, this was so not happening. “Logan, you need to get off of me right now,” I bit out, although the words held a sensual tremor to them that I couldn’t control. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Hurt me?” he sounded absolutely delighted by the challenge. “You can try, darling.”
“Quit calling me that.”
He nuzzled into my neck again. “Not a chance.”
Dammit! I needed to think of something. If he kept doing…that, I was so going to break.
“What, this?” he asked, shifting his leg against my core again and sending a moan escaping from my lips.
A cool breeze drifted into the locker room as the door popped open. I managed to flutter my eyes open to see Orion staring us down. I guess the Demis were one faction that didn’t require a signup in order to gain entrance to the arena’s locker rooms.
He grinned. “Is this a bad time?”
