A Mate for York(17)

“I don’t have fucking bloodlust. Why won’t anyone listen to me?” Frustration caused him to pound his chest on the last word.

“It doesn’t fucking matter. It’s done. You’re out.” Gideon’s eyes narrowed on him. “Why did you act the way you did?”

York couldn’t answer the question. There was only one thing he knew for sure. “I enjoyed touching and drinking from the human…end of fucking story. I don’t have bloodlust.”

“Not good enough. You don’t have a logical explanation, do you?” Gideon let his arms fall to his sides.

“Not one that would make sense to you.” York finally said when he could see Gideon preparing to leave.

“Try me.”

“I wanted her okay? The need to rut her rode me hard.” He huffed out a frustrated breath.

“There’s a reason it’s called bloodlust.” Gideon shook his head. “Stay here, please.” The male implored him with his eyes for a beat or two before leaving.

York snarled and punched a hole in the closest wall. This was a total fucking mess. The thing that aggravated him the most was that he kept on seeing a replay of Cassidy’s wide, petrified eyes, he could still hear her shriek in terror. Anger and frustration coursed through him and he punched the wall a second time, leaving a wide fissure from floor to ceiling. A large chunk of plaster lay on the ground at his feet.





Chapter 6




“And…” Dee whispered as they sat down to eat. “How did it go? I didn’t see you for the afternoon session.”

Cassidy shrugged, not sure she wanted to even talk about the events of today. Her hands still shook and she actually felt cold despite the high temperatures. She shoved a mouthful of food into her mouth instead. Steak, mashed potatoes and salad, normally a firm favorite. She didn’t taste a thing though, just went through the chewing motions.

Dee licked some sauce off of her hand and gave Cassidy a smile. “If you think I have the glowing look of a girl who got it all, you would be right.” She giggled quietly, talking as softly as possible.

Cassidy shook her head but couldn’t help but to smile. “You have more guts than me that’s for sure.”

Dee ate a forkful of mashed potatoes before continuing. “I only planned on letting one of them touch me, but”—she shrugged—“I kind of let them all do it.” She pulled a face. “It’s not like I had sex with them or anything.”

Cassidy took a deep breath. “Don’t beat yourself up. It’s hard resisting the urge.”

“No, it’s pretty much impossible. I orgasmed so many times, my eyes actually watered. And my throat hurts from the screaming.” Come to think of it, Dee did have a bit of a huskiness to her voice that she didn’t have earlier.

“Really?” Cassidy felt her eyes widen.

“Wait a minute, are you telling me that you were able to resist?” Dee pulled a lock of hair behind her ear.

“Um…yes...” She felt that she owed the other woman something in return. She really did seem very sweet. Cassidy cut a big piece of steak and shoved it into her mouth. Hopefully it would keep Dee from asking any other questions.

“I can’t believe it. You resisted all three guys?” The other woman’s eyes were wide and her mouth actually gaped. “You are much stronger than me. I am in awe of you. I also think you are a bit nuts because even though they barely touched me, the experience was off the charts good. I’m not even going to try and resist tomorrow.”

Looking around the room, she noticed that the only other girl left in the program was nowhere to be seen. It was just the two of them. Cassidy took in a deep breath. It felt bad to allow Dee to assume that she’d had three guys drink from her. That she had managed to resist three times. “I only had one of them drink from me…” She shivered, remembering how good it had felt and not just the drinking part but also the feel of him. It was probably because she missed having someone in her life. She was lonely.

Dee frowned. “Why only one?”

Cassidy sighed. “He went into bloodlust.”

“Oh my god!” Dee shrieked, a small piece of steak shot from her mouth and she slapped a hand over her lips. Her eyes widened. “What happened? Are you hurt?”

Cassidy shook her head. “It was really scary. Not what I expected. He just started taking bigger and bigger sucks on my neck. Started making these growly/grunty noises. Holding me tighter and tighter. Then the guards were pulling him off of me.” She swallowed hard. “It’s all a bit of a blur. He snarled and made these terrible noises. He fought the guards. His eyes were the scariest of all…” She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself. “They were glowing and wild. Like nothing I’ve ever seen before…”
