How could they possibly know this was what I had fantasized about? I should have denied it even if that would have been a lie. The truth was I did want this, but I’d always been too ashamed to admit it to anyone. Admitting I wanted to be dominated, controlled … fed from by these supernatural creatures would have my kind seeing me as a blood whore. No, I’d always hidden what I wanted, because to me that was the safest route.
But looking at these men, these vampires, I wondered. Was I that transparent? Had even humans been able to see my desire for this powerful kind?
I took a moment to really look at the four men. They were all gorgeous, each one having an otherworldly appearance, a dangerously powerful aura about them. Two of them had black hair, and the other two had lighter hair. But what they all had was physiques that told they could crush a man with their bare hands if they saw fit.
I don’t know why, but that turned me on even more.
The one closest to me pulled back, his eyes focused on me, the color this startling, unearthly blue. We held each other’s stare for a moment, me not able to pull my attention away, and then he stepped back in line with the others. The one that had entered the room first took a step forward, the scent of him filling my head, making me feel drunk.
“Before we begin, I think it only proper to introduce ourselves.”
Before we begin?
That had my heart beating double-time now.
He shifted to the side and gestured to the only other man that had spoken to me, the one with the crazy blue eyes. “That is Eeron and his brother, Aram.” Both men kept their focus on me, their expressions emotionless.
“The dark-haired fellow is Ibrahim.” The one speaking turned back to me and grinned. “And I’m Boden.”
I knew I probably looked frenzied, crazed. This all felt like I’d been dropped into some kind of crazy Twilight episode, my fate unknown. They all stared at me like they expected me to respond kindly to their pleasantries, like they didn’t still have me strung up nude and exposed.
“Let me go.” I tried to make my voice harder, more demanding. I wanted to seem strong even if I felt anything but. None of them moved, nor showed emotion after I spoke. “This is wrong,” I whispered.
Boden took a step forward. “It would be wrong for mortals if you were unwilling.” He reached out and cupped one of my breasts, and I bit my lip, holding in the gasp that would have spilled forth. “We are immortals, predators. We don’t care for your mortal laws, and are not bound by them.” He slid his hand down my belly and cupped me between my thighs. “But you’re not unwilling, are you?”
I was wet, embarrassingly so, and with every stroke of his fingers through my sweetness, I couldn’t hold in the moans anymore. But within a matter of minutes he had his hand away from between my thighs, and took a step back. He smirked, brought his hand up, and licked off the slickness that coated his fingers.
I found his attitude very arrogant, but it also turned me on. Maybe it was my helplessness that made me feel so aroused around them? Hell, maybe it was because there were four of them and they screamed dominance, and that this was one of my fantasies personified. Whatever it was, I didn’t think what I had to say, if I could have said anything coherent, held much weight.
Boden took another step forward until he was close enough his lips were a hairsbreadth away from mine.
“You are ours, sweet Athena. You are ours to do with as we please.” He ran his tongue out and licked my bottom lip. “Tell me you want to go. Tell me you haven’t ached for what we can give you, that you haven’t thought about it more times than you can even count.” His gaze dipped down to my lips, and I licked them involuntarily, tasting him on me. “Lie to us and say you don’t want this, even though we can smell the arousal coming off of you.”
“I…” I didn’t know what to say.
“You just need to say you want this. Give into us, submit to us, and we’ll give you everything you’ve wanted.” He had his hands on my hips, and I shivered from the contact. “Let us dominate you in the way only our kind can.” I found myself nodding, and before I could say anything he had his lips slanted against mine. I moaned at the instant electricity that slammed into me. I closed my eyes when I felt his tongue sweep along the seam of my mouth, demanding access. I opened, tasting him, needing him.
He kissed me for several seconds but then pulled away far too soon. “Give in to us, Athena.” His whispered words tickled my lips.
Did I honestly want this? Did I want to be their “prisoner” and submit to them fully? The thoughts bombarded me in rapid succession. Did I want to let my inhibitions go to four vampires? I felt the world tilt and my arousal heighten.
