“I cannot wait to see what you have on underneath the dress, vackra. I am going to enjoy ripping it off of you later.”
I felt a rosy blush creep across my cheekbones at his mental words, my heart rate increasing as I visualized him ripping the dress from my body with his powerful hands.
"You need to stop with the sexy talk, Romeo."
I heard him chuckle as I sat down on the bench at the end of the bed. I slipped on strappy black sandals that crisscrossed around my ankles. The heel was higher than I was used to wearing, close to four inches high. Standing up, I smoothed the dress with one hand, taking a last look in the mirror.
“What do you think?” I questioned, my eyes searching his in the reflection of the mirror.
“Turn around, Josephine.” Stefan's voice was deep and commanding. I swiveled around to face him, biting my lower lip as I met his piercing stare. His blue eyes darkened instantly and his gaze slid slowly and seductively downward, lingering on my legs in the heels. He rose from the bed, walking to stand in front of me, our bodies so close I could feel his cool breath against my hair.
Looking up at him, I realized that with these heels on I was much taller than usual. I leaned in close to him, wrapping my fingers around his biceps. My lips brushed against his smooth neck and my tongue flicked out to lick the shell of his ear teasingly. His body shuddered slightly against my mouth, his head falling back slightly.
“It is obvious I want to fuck you, vackra. Why are you tempting me?”
“I'm still hoping I can change your mind,” I murmured against his throat. My fingers dropped to rub against the front of his jeans, feeling the hardness of his cock against my hand. I continued to kiss and lick his neck, my hand stroking him through the heavy denim.
Stefan lowered his head to my neck, lightly scraping his fangs against my skin. His lips pressed kisses up the length of my throat until our lips met. I felt his sharp fangs against my mouth and I deliberately let the point of one scrape against my tongue. Moaning softly, I pressed my bloody tongue into his mouth and deepened the kiss.
His strong hands gripped my arms and he pushed me backwards towards the bed. His fingers roughly tugged on the zipper, letting the dress slide down to rest around my waist. I was pushing his shirt over his shoulders when the bedroom door burst open. Lukas was cursing loudly as he blurred to stand beside of us.
“Fucking hell! Josie, Anna and Georgia are downstairs. You need to get your ass downstairs before Mr. Romance loses it! ” Lukas exclaimed, bending to pick up Stefan's shirt and tossing it to him. He pulled my dress up, pulling the zipper back into place, taking me by the wrist and leading me out of the bedroom like a child that had been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
I uselessly tugged at the iron-like grip he had on my wrist. “Did anyone ever tell you that you're a cock blocker, Lukas?” I huffed as we walked down the stairs. Lukas chose to ignore me, muttering under his breath about needing a hose to separate us since we acted like we were in heat.
“It does no good to try to insult him, vackra. I love you.” His mental voice called after me, filled with affection and aggravation.
“I love you too. I'm trying to remember why we agreed we let Mr. Cock Blocker talk us into a fun night out.”
Lukas didn't release the grip he had on my wrist until we reached the living room. Georgia and Anna were waiting, both of their eyes wandering around the large room. Georgia noticed me first, letting out an excited squeal and almost ran to tackle me.
“So this is where you've been hiding, huh?” Georgia asked as she hugged me tightly, almost lifting me off my feet.
“I can't breathe, Georgia.”
She released me and took a step back, her gaze sweeping over me critically. A knowing smile crept over her face. “So, you two are back together again. I can't wait to hear how this happened.”
I was wondering if it was too late to make a run for it when Anna stepped in and saved me from Georgia's flood of questions.
“Can you save the interrogation for the car ride, Georgia? I'm hungry and you know what happens when I'm hungry. My bitch level rises dramatically,” Anna said, grabbing Georgia's elbow to lead her to the door. Trailing along behind them, I glanced back to see Stefan on the stairs above. A small smile pulled at his lips, softening his handsome face.
“Jag älskar dig, vackra. I will see you soon. Be safe.”
My lips curved into an unconscious smile at his mental words, my eyes prickling with tears. I sent him back my own message. “Please hurry. I don't know how long I can do this without you.”
“Josie!” Anna's voice broke into our silent conversation. She was impatient, her toe tapping out a frantic rhythm of the floor. “You'll see him in two hours. Can you tear yourself away from him to actually spend some time with us?”
