Bloody hell.
What is wrong with me?
I grit my teeth as I let the icy water shower down on me, hanging my head as I press my palms flat to the wall.
Taking a few deep breaths as the water streams down around me, I will my heart to slow, but it continues to pound heavily in my chest.
I close my eyes, gritting my teeth against the onslaught of thoughts and feelings rising up in me.
I didn’t mean to touch her like that. I was only trying to scare her into learning to be obedient.
I’m not supposed to be the one who breaks.
The one to lose control.
I’ve never felt like this before. Not even withher.
This girl, this Evi … I’ve barely known her but a few days and she’s already taking over every corner of my mind.
She barely touched me and all I could think was how badly I wanted to ravish her in every way imaginable.
To make her mine.
I open my eyes.
How desperately Istillwant to, and the freezing water has done nothing to lessen that.
I lift my fingers to my nose where I can still smell her sweetest, most intimate scent.
Dropping my hand, I grab my uncomfortably hard cock, I close my eyes and think of Evi as I begin to pump my hand up and down.
I imagine her offering herself to me, the taste of her, the feel of her skin against my own, the smell of her clinging to every bit of my body.
And mine to hers.
I work myself harder, clenching my jaw as the pressure builds to an almost mind-numbingly agonizing level.
What I wouldn’t do to have her, to pleasure her, to feel the warmth of her body take the icy chill from mine. To fill her with me again and again until both of us were exhausted to completion. And then do it all over.
I let out a low growl of frustration, dropping my hand from my cock.
Of course, I can’t finish.
One of the great curses of my kind. I need a mate, we all do, and soon.
With not being able to finish ourselves off, I honestly don’t know how we don’t go feral sooner. It’s no wonder Seven is having such a hard time around her. I almost feel bad for lashing out at him over it.
It would be easier if we could just cut these blasted things off, but no man in his right mind would do that … vampire or not.
Taking a few deep breaths, I try my best to think of other things as I force myself to finish showering.
I’m still hard when I finally turn off the shower and exit to towel off. Rubbing the towel over my hair to get the excess water out, I suddenly pause and drop down into myself. I can’t hear Seven or Luci anywhere nearby, though I suppose Luci has probably gone to the city by now.
Seven on the other hand …
