She was appalled to find that the thought didn’t scare her half as much as what it should have.
Gideon repositioned his cock and tried to do up the clasps on his jeans, finally giving up. “Your scent is fucking killing me.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Her voice shook a little.
“I’m a vampire.” He growled, his eyes seemed to glow.
“Oh.” She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. “I take it that you can smell my blood...is that what’s driving you crazy? You’re not going to hurt me are you?” She swallowed hard. The funny thing was, although she should be running from the room, screaming. She still wasn’t afraid. She was the one that was crazy.
Gideon shook his head. “I’m talking about the scent of your arousal. Your pussy smells fucking delicious…”
She gasped, putting a hand to her chest. “You didn’t just say that.”
“What?” His eyes glinted in humor. “That your pussy smells like heaven? And no, although I wouldn’t mind making you scream…” His eyes were definitely glowing. “They would be screams of pleasure…I assure you.” Gideon took a step towards her. “I won’t lie though…it is definitely the scent of your pussy that is killing me, I wouldn’t mind a taste of your blood as well. Sugar and spice and all things nice…” He shook his head. Then he took to looking quizzical, even cocking his head to the side. “I can’t scent any fear.” His nostrils flared again. “If anything, I would say that I’ve just made you more aroused by my statements. Most humans would have left by now or called security or both. Yet here you still are. I had heard that humans could be timid and that as a species you’re not so open about sex.”
Jenna nodded. “We’re not. I don’t know why but I’m actually not afraid of you. Should I be?”
“No,” Gideon growled, causing goosebumps to rise. “I would never hurt you.” His eyes dropped down to her lap. “Maybe I could ease you once you have finished eating.”
“Ease me?” She could feel herself frown.
“I’m not referring to sex even though I would very much like to rut you.” His eyelids became hooded. His voice was a low growl that did strange things to her.
Then the penny dropped and she felt her eyes widen and her mouth drop open. “Ease me as in go down on me?” She felt her cheeks heat and shook her head. Her clit throbbed at the thought of him between her legs. She felt wet seep from her. “You are seriously forward aren’t you? No thanks. I’m not afraid of you, but…” She let the sentence hang. As much as he turned her on, he was still a total stranger and a vampire to boot. Jenna needed to get the hell out of there and fast before she did something stupid.
He frowned. “You said yourself that you are attracted to me. I can scent your arousal yet you will not allow me to ease you? If go down means to lick and suck on your clit then yes, that is what I mean by ease.”
She shook her head. “No. Definitely not. I’m not the kind of woman that goes around having sex, even oral sex, with people she doesn’t know.”
He smiled for a few seconds. “Vampires are different than humans then. For us, rutting is like any other bodily function such as eating or sleeping. If there is a mutual attraction, then we act on it.”
She shook her head. “Humans are different, well mostly. I can’t speak for my entire species but I like to know someone before hopping into bed with him. I have this little rule. I don’t have sex with someone until I have been on at least eight dates with them.” It was stupid since she’d only decided to do the whole eight date rule thing after her and Rob split a few weeks ago. Things had been rushed with Rob. They met, had sex by the second date. Were practically living together within a few weeks and engaged after six months. Too quick. She took a deep breath. The whole eight date thing was a good idea and she’d stick to it.
Gideon smiled broadly, flashing those ivory fangs again. “How many dates until I could ease you? Would I have to date you eight times?”
Jenna swallowed thickly. “I told you, no sex until the eighth date. It’s not just about sexual attraction for me...there should be more there. I like to have something in common with the person I’m with.” She shrugged. “It would be important that we got along and had fun as well.”
Gideon nodded. “I understand. It would be important that we were compatible on a one-to-one level, not just sexually.”
She nodded. “Yeah. Sounds about right.”
