His large hands slid to my h*ps and tensed. “I can’t feed, pet. Not until tonight.”
That was news to me.
“You can’t?”
He shook his head saying, “You aren’t used to me yet.”
This further confused me.
“I’m not?”
The smug smile came back before his face disappeared in my neck again. “We could try.”
Oh my.
“But you’d be weak all day and it’s Saturday. I have plans for you today.”
He had plans for me. Plans that required me not being weak.
I didn’t know if that was good or not.
“Plans?”
One of his hands came up to cup the back of my head and he looked at me again. “First up, another lesson, this time about feeding.”
“Okay,” I breathed trying but not quite achieving the feat of not sounding disappointed.
He grinned.
Damn the vampire!
I tried to look dutiful. It was hard.
He studied my face then burst out laughing while he stood, putting me on my feet.
He began to set me away from him and, panicked at the idea of baring myself, I latched onto his shoulders and pressed my body against his.
His head tilted down to look at me.
“Leah?”
“Close your eyes,” I whispered before I could stop myself
“Pardon?”
“Um…” How to do this and be submissive? “Would you please close your eyes, darling?”
His hands at my waist gave me an impatient squeeze.
“Why?”
“I’m nearly naked,” I explained softly and, I thought, unnecessarily.
His hands gave me another squeeze, this time also pulling me even deeper into his body as his head dipped closer.
“I saw you last night, pet.”
“I know.”
