It wasn’t a proper kiss. It wasn’t.

But it had been close, and the dizzying realisation somehow made her chest both expand and tighten at the same time.

No one had ever kissed her on the mouth before—thank goodness. The academy had not destroyed her dreams of one day finding someone to love, and of sharing that first perfect kiss. A soulmate. Wolf or human, she didn’t care, as long as it wasn’t a vampire.

If she ever was to be kissed properly, she imagined it would feel a lot like Arken’s kisses on her neck had. Like the one dangerously close to her mouth.

Soft and warm.

Hot and passionate.

Rough and demanding.

And no matter how he kissed her—her true love, not Arken—she would feel safe.

A little bit like how she felt safe now, but less confusing. She wasn’t actually safe with him, Susie reminded herself. Arken might have been one of the most powerful vampires in the world, but that only made him more dangerous.

But the greatest danger she feared was herself because, together with the soft smile he was now giving her, she felt the last of her restraint slip away.

She tipped her chin up slightly, wondering what his lips would feel like on hers.

Thankfully, Arken spoke, saving her from making the gravest mistake of her life.

“Yes.”

She blinked. “Pardon?”

“Yes,” he said simply. “I agree to do everything within my power to ensure Molly’s safety at the academy.”

Susie’s jaw dropped. “You mean that?”

“I do.” He kissed her again, this time safely away from her lips on her cheek. “Provided you reach your climax with me now.”

“I thought you could guarantee me a second orgasm,” she quipped.

“I hope you’ll prove me right on that point.”

Her heart stopped when he winked. As alluring as he was…had he really just winked while he was still inside her?

It ignited a dormant resilience within her, and she narrowed her eyes at Arken as she clenched her inner walls around his cock.

He jerked as if she’d struck him.

She bared her teeth in a wolfish smile and did it again.

His cheeky smile was gone, his composure giving way to surprise…and delight.

“There’s not going to be a second orgasm if you keep—” he groaned as she squeezed as tight as she could and thrust her hips upwards, “—doing that,” he gasped.

Susie did not relent, gripping his shoulders as she lifted her hips to grind against him. She took him deep, fixing him with a smug smile that caused his body to stiffen.

“Would you like me to stop?” she asked mockingly, repeating his earlier words back to him. The question was irrelevant—it was too late. Arken twitched inside her, and his large hands clamped down on her shoulders as his entire body seized and jerked. He groaned against her neck as he came, surging forth and pumping her full of his hot seed.

His chest rumbled with low groans, causing her entire body to vibrate with tiny thrills.

“Well…that was unexpected,” he murmured, his lips brushing her ear.

Susie didn’t reply. The vindictive feeling of triumph has been fleeting, and she was now left to comprehend what the hell it was that she’d just done.
