companion.
    "My lady." His voice
was a hoarse rumble against skin as he eased his bite. She closed her eyes,
sliding her hand up so it cupped his face even as her body quivered under the
touch of his slowly kneading, clever fingers.
    She could send him through a
window and rolling into the street. She could lay her hands on his skull and
crush it with a thought. But at this moment she reveled in the way his hands
held her, so powerfully. He had the suggestion of Rex's strength, but none of
the cruelty that had kept her from completely surrendering to the passion of
her husband's embrace.
    Colors. Spiraling colors. She'd
ignored the warning sign as well as the dizziness because she'd been impatient
for the sensation of the climax, of Jacob's kiss. But now the disorientation
was increasing exponentially, clearing the sensual haze over her mind with the
cold wind of apprehension.
    Lowering her hands to his arms,
she began to push, enough that he couldn't resist it. When he tried to maintain
a hold on her, a simple additional exertion was all she needed to slam him back
down on his knees before her, his grip dropping clumsily but quite pleasantly
to the outside of her thighs. He tried to pull back but she merely tightened
her hold on his shoulders. Staring at him unsmiling, she waited for him to
understand.
    A first lesson.
    Jacob's eyes narrowed, betraying
temper and not a small amount of frustrated lust, an energy she absorbed with
pleasure, savoring it almost as much as she would blood.
    "You haven't displeased me,
Jacob," she said. "I admit I'm intrigued. But you won't come home
with me tonight. You need to think some more. At the moment you're standing in
the surf. If you submit to me, you'll be taken deep into the ocean and never
touch solid ground again."
    "I came prepared to go with
you, my lady." He spoke low, obviously struggling for the earlier tones of
smooth courtesy. "With respect, I think it's you who needs time to think.
Not I."
    Arrogant, even if he was also
right. She didn't know enough about him, and unfortunately now was not going to
be the moment for her to learn more. Time was short. Regardless, she lifted a
disdainful brow. "So if it was my will to take you home tonight and make
you serve me with your mouth while another man fucked
you
from behind,
that would be fine?" At his startled reaction, she gave a sharp nod.
"I will take you far past what you think your limits are, to the level
I
find acceptable. After that, I might go even further. See how you handle pain,
how loyal you would be to me under torture."
    She knew how to do such things,
but the thought made her a little sick, especially when her body was still
shuddering from that kiss and the orgasm that had surged up like a violent
seizure at his barest touch.
    "I'm committed to your
service, my lady. Whatever it might be."
    But she heard the rage against
it in his voice. "I think you're rash and foolish," she said in
sudden anger. "Driven by your cock and your male ego. You're romanticizing
the situation, blinding yourself."
    The world was becoming a
wavering rainbow. Nothing was as it seemed. She needed to go. Was it time for
her driver to return? She couldn't remember when she'd said for him to come.
She used her dwindling reserves of strength to send out an urgent compulsion to
him, a mental shove that would have him turning the key in the ignition and
heading this way before he even thought about the fact he was earlier than
she'd suggested.
    She'd known the danger of going
out like this. It was too much… But she'd wanted a manicure, damn it. One
pleasure. But there were no easy pleasures anymore.
    "My lady?"
    By his alarmed expression she
knew her irises had gone blood red, her pale face even paler. Her fangs had
elongated and now pricked her lips, lancing the skin and drawing blood. Salty
blood that tasted metallic on her tongue.
    It was too late. The chair
became green, then purple. The fire was now olive drab, with blue flickering
lights.
