Justin’s fleeting feet had me sigh in some relief.
A soft ping and vibration buzzed from my pocket. Fishing it out of my pocket and turning on the screen, a message from Christine put a smile on my stern face. It read, “Did you get home okay?” I smiled wider, only to hear a gasp come from the overhanging ledge. Drops of water fell, landing on the screen, giving it a disordered appearance.
“Shit,” I whispered, standing from the dirt. Justin had already disappeared, and I stood there watching my beloved’s hair dripping with water.
“Sebastian?” she whispered. “What are you doing?” Clutching the towel, a purr left my throat. Grabbing it, I tried to hush the calming sound until she cleared her voice.
“Were you watching me?” her voice squeaked, clutching the towel.
“N-no, nothing like that,” I defended. “I haven’t seen anything, I swear to you. I just…”
“Don’t trust Ashton?” she questioned. Her elbow leaned on the open window, staring at me like a puzzle to behold. “Are you jealous of him?” I scoffed, shaking my head.
“Hell no, I just don’t want him near you.” I growled. A shiver ran through her body, her fingers clutching in the pane.
“Well, what are you going to do about it?” she countered. “He’s my roommate, and he is obviously doing Amber right now.” She made a face. “I’m a big girl, Sebastian.” The twinkle in her eye, the smile playing on her bee-stung lips, had me shift my stance. “Unless you just want me to be helpless.” She tickled her finger over the window. “You like being in charge, huh? Some kind of vampire thing?”
Christine lifted her body from the window, the towel hugging her breasts. I licked my lips, watching her step away.
“Something like that,” I muttered. “Are you inviting me to show you what it’s like to be possessed by a vampire?”
Her breath hitched, the warmth of her breath decorating the air with swirls of heat. “Tell me, Christine, are you daring me to show you how I like to be in charge?”
My beloved didn’t answer. It was enough of an invitation for her arousal to hit me like a pixie’s beating wings. I scaled the house far quicker for her human reflexes to comprehend. My fingertips gripped the windowpane, my legs bowed, standing where her heavy chest leaned. Taking a large breath, I silently jumped inside.
“Sebastian.” She backed away from the window, her white knuckles gripping her towel. Wet hair swirled around the top of her chest. Water droplets pooled between her breasts. I licked my lips, jealous of the damn water on her skin.
Stepping forward, her back leaned into the wall, her lashes hooded, still damp from the steam. “Well? I drawled.
“Y-yes…” I pulled one of her hands that gripped the towel and put it to my chest. “Your heart beats too?” I smiled, my lips becoming endearingly close to her cheek.
“For you it does.”
If only she knew she’s the one I beat for.
“Get dressed,” I ordered. “I’m sleeping with you in my arms tonight.” My impatient body had enough.
“So you really want me to get dressed?” she asked, surprised.
Before I went any further with her, she needed to know who we were. I wasn’t going to have her think this was some superficial human-like relationship.
“No, but if you don’t put something on now, I’m going to fuck you so hard we wake the entire coven.” Christine’s eyes widened, letting out a bated breath. “Tonight, I just want to hold you.” My voice softened.
My hands rubbed up her bare arms. “I want you to feel not just my lust for you but…” I held my tongue, taking every part of me not to tell her the unbridled love I had for her.
“Go,” I whispered, not finishing my sentence.
Not yet… but soon.
Letting her go, she kept her eyes on me until she shut the bathroom door.

Ishutthedoorto the bathroom. The only barrier that was holding me away from him was this. My heart thumped in my chest, the heat of his breath still lingering on my skin. The smell of spice and the bead of sweat that traveled from his forehead to the side of his face as he climbed the house wall had my lady parts searing with desire.
I have never been so turned on in all my life.
