Chapter Seven

Lucius

For a moment, Lucius stilled, listening to his beautiful mate take him to task. His dick actually twitched against his stomach. She would have seen his reaction if she hadn’t locked him in her gaze.

Had he ever been at a loss for words?

She spoke through the silence. “I can almost feel you trying to find the answer you think I’ll like. Don’t. Be honest with me. I’m guessing it’s probably best not to start off an eternity with you trying to pacify me. I won’t always be this weak.” She rolled her neck as if to rid herself of the anger and frustration he knew she felt. “Tell me what happens next, because even though I’m annoyed, this power feels like too much, and I’m starting to really need a replay of our earlier activities.”

He waited a beat then answered her first question. “My sister would say I bowl her over as well. It’s not because I see you as weak. It’s because of who I am.”

Her lips curved a little at his admission, and he took that as a good sign. He’d never had to explain himself before, and he had a feeling it wouldn’t be the last time.

Being cut off from her thoughts made him edgy. He hated having that barrier between them, but if he’d have allowed her into his mind, he would have scared the hell out of her. He was worried about what this power meant for her. His mind was going over all the potential options when he wasn’t dying to get inside her. And if she knew how rabid the scar on her chest made him, he wasn’t sure she would understand how much he hated that she’d been hurt and he hadn’t been there. His protective instincts made him swift and deadly.

Add all of that to the fact that he had to temper his strength while riding the high of a mating frenzy. She was stronger and faster than a mortal should have been, but she wasn’t a match to his strength. She would still be fragile until they finished this.

He ran his fingers up and down her arm as he watched her. Her soft skin was so smooth and warm. He would never get enough of her, but it was time to do what he’d been dreading. She’d asked what they needed to do. “The next step is to blood bond.”

She stilled. “You want my memories?”

It took everything inside him to keep his voice calm. What would he see in her past that made her so nervous? What horrors had she lived through when he hadn’t even known she existed? “You’ll have mine as well. We have to do this. I’ll warn you that you’ll probably see a lot of blood in my memories. I’m not human, little one. I’ve lived a long life. A very different life with very different rules.”

He watched her closely as he said each word, wishing he could hear her thoughts. Her gaze seemed to stutter.
