explained that demons were incapable of that emotion.
I was livid and threw the sheet off of us and rolled away from him. Yanking on the shirt he'd tossed on the floor when we'd begun, I stormed down the hall without a word in search of the bottled blood I kept in the fridge.
His hand was hot on my stomach, even through the shirt, and I did my best to ignore him.
“ Sun, why does it have to change? Things are going good as they are.”
He sounded convincing but I needed more. I wanted him. All of him, not just the parts he'd reluctantly shared with me.
“ No, they aren't. Not for me. I am in love with you and I need to know that this is going somewhere. I'm no one's one night stand.”
“ Sweetheart, you're not. You're special to me, but I can't give you what you want.”
Keeping my back to him, I fought the tears that welled up. As the microwave beeped, I snatched the bottle of blood and took long, angry drinks before speaking again.
“ And you want to continue being able to fuck any little whore who will spread her legs for you, right? That's not good enough for me. I should be all you need, Severus.”
“ Don't do this, Sunshine. This doesn't have to end this way.”
“ Tell me, demon, doesn't it bother you to know that other men share my bed?”
“ I don't like the thought, but I accept it. We're not in a relationship and you're free to do as you please.”
“ Well it bothers me to think of other women sharing yours”
“ I'm sorry, but I can't change who I am.”
“ No, you won't change who you are. There's a big difference there. I think you should leave.”
His hands pressed tighter to my stomach and his warm breath tickled my ear. “You don't really want me to go, babe. We both know it.”
“ Please , leave,” was all I could manage as I turned away from him, trying hard to keep my tears from falling . As he snapped away, I sank to the cold tile floor and sobbed. I'd just sent away the only being I'd ever truly loved and all because of my pride.
After several hours I somehow found the strength to pull myself up off that floor and wiped away my tears. I was determined to show him just what he was missing by letting me go .
I spent every night out, laughing and having a good time. It was a few short week s later that Draven walked back into my life and everything turned upside down. I won't lie, it was nice to have the attention and he was more than attentive. I began to spend all of my free time with my former husband but I wasn’t really happy.
It had been weeks since I'd seen Severus when our paths crossed at a local vampire bar. I was running late as usual and breezed in, scanning the dark crowded room searching for Draven when our eyes met.
I thanked every god known in every realm that I'd dressed carefully that night. The royal blue of my form fitting dress set off my eyes and I knew that my legs looked long and stunning with the thigh high stockings peeking out from beneath the impossibly short hemline.
I tossed my long blonde hair over my shoulder, smirking at h is reaction as I swayed my hip s on my way to the bar. Leaning over to give him the perfect view of my backside I spoke softly to the bartender who pointed me in the direction of my companion for the night.
As I casually crossed the room, I saw the small dark haired woman join him, her eyes following his to me. I could feel her hatred instantly and wiggled my fingers at them both. I nearly burst out laughing when she asked him who I was and he informed her I was an old friend. Her envy and jealousy was evident as she shot daggers at me with her look.
As I reached Draven, he bent to kiss my cheek and glanced over at the demon with a smug smile. Rage filled me as Sev flooded the bond with his disapproval of my date. Brushing it off I chose to act as if I'd never felt it and ca rried on with my night as usual but we both knew that
