Chapter Eight
As we dig through my new outfits, we come across a red silk dress that stops at the top of my knees. The sleeves are loose and have cutouts that tie around the arm above the elbow and then around my wrist, leaving skin showing down the sleeves. The neckline cuts out into a V and connects to the fabric right above my belly button. It’s revealing but sexy as hell.
Also in my closet are five-inch, nude high fuck me heels that have peep toes. I put dark charcoal eyeshadow on to make my blue eyes pop, and a nude lipstick. After checking everything out in the mirror, I add the final touch by pulling my long, honey blonde hair into a French twist, leaving a few loose pieces on both sides.
Walking out of the bathroom, I spin in a slow circle for Eli. “How do I look?”
Eli groans. “You look delectable.” His feet carry him closer and he reaches out, placing his hands on my waist and drawing me closer. “We should go before I can’t hold myself back.”
I take in his eyes that darken with lust and something else… Hunger. How long has it been since he fed?
Other than his sunken eyes, he looks dapper in a three-piece charcoal gray suit, with a black shirt and tie. My body sparks from the electricity shooting through the fabric of my dress where his hands splay against my body. I reach up, placing my hands on his forearms, drawing myself closer to his body.
“Do you need to feed before we go?” My voice comes out huskier than usual.
Fingers tighten on my waist and I watch every nuance of his face.
He looks at his watch and shakes his head, looking back at the bed. “We really should be going.”
I tilt my neck to side, tempting him with the vein on the left side. My pulse picks up tempo until he can’t pull his eyes away.
His fangs peek out of the sides of his lips, and my core tightens in anticipation. He leans down, placing a kiss on my jugular.
I prepare for the ecstasy of his bite, but then he pulls away, and I stiffen as I begin to fall forward. His arms band around me to keep me from falling on my face. I straighten, pulling out of his hold, and glare at him with pinched lips.
“As tempted as I am, we don’t have time for what I have planned. Come now, we must be on our way.” He straightens his tie and suit jacket and walks over to the door we came through.
It slides open as he approaches, and I follow behind him as we emerge from our room.
We pass a few doors in the corridor, stopping in front of a set of double doors. Eli opens one and waves me in first.
I step into a home office. A masculine power desk sits in the middle of the room, facing a grand marble fireplace on the opposite wall. Warm reds, browns, and tans make up the decorations with dark wood furniture.
