“don’t want you to come that hard with anyone else.” Bella whimpered loudly against her neck, pressing a kiss there. “No? You want me all to yourself?” she said quietly. She sounded unsure; no, she sounded desperate. Maybe she sounded both. “Yes,” Yasmine hissed as Bella began circling faster. The words kept falling out of her. “I don’t want you to fuck anyone else. I don’t want you to kiss anyone else. I don’t want you to sleep over at anyone else’s house. I don’t want you to live with anyone else.” Bella whimpered again against Yasmine’s cheek. She brought her into another kiss, and this one felt different than every other one before. The kind of kiss that separated a life into a before and an after. And, fuck, maybe it was because Yasmine was high on blood; maybe it was because she was seconds away from coming all over Bella’s hand, harder than she ever had; but she’d never felt more certain in her life. This was what her life had been leading up to. No matter what had happened before, or what was going to happen in the future. Bella was supposed to be hers. “Okay, then,” Bella breathed shakily against her lips. “I won’t. Just as long as you do one thing for me.” “Yes,” Yasmine whined. “Anything.” “Come for me, darling.”

“I just told my mother to fuck off for the first time in my life. First time in two thousand years, mind you,” Bella said, her breath landing hot on Yasmine’s exposed skin. “There’s not a demon from hell that can get me off that high. So try me. Look me right in the eyes, and scare me.”

“As a rule, vampires were not very obedient individuals. Even the most dense amongst them eventually realized that society was nothing more than a well-marketed pyramid scheme, in which only those at the top derived any real value. After coming to that conclusion, well, it’s hard not to step outside the career ladder, and start building your own pyramid.”

“Ah,” she said, leaning back in her chair and taking a long sip of her coffee. “I think this date is done. That was the sixth time you abbreviated something that didn’t need to be abbreviated. I’m not particularly interested in someone who can’t finish the second half of a word.”
