You just stop that thought right there. There will be no discussing of the future likes and dislikes of our maybe one day physical relationship, got it? Jacque told him with finality.
I will humor you for now, Fane told her with a grin. Moving along, love, I will bite you on your neck. Rest assured, Luna, I am a werewolf but at least Im not a vampire. My bite will not last so long as to drain you of your blood, only long enough to take enough blood to swallow and leave my mark on you.
Jacque was quiet for a moment. She took a deep breath, then said, Im not even going to ask about the vampire comment. Im just gonna let that one slide by without so much as a wave or glance. What I will give my attention to is this whole leaving a mark on me bit. I get that when you bite me you'll get blood in your mouth and yada yada, but how are you going to leave a mark on me? Jacque asked him with surprising composure.
Im not really sure how I leave a mark on you. I think its just a part of the whole supernatural part of bonding. The mark I will leave is the visual symbol that you are mated, he explained. The final warning to other males that you have been bonded is smell.
Im going to smell? Please tell me Im not going to stink, cause I dont do stinky, okay? Jacque implored him.
No, Luna, you are not going to stink. To other Canis lupus you will smell like me because you have taken my blood, and I will smell like you when I have taken your blood. Once we have consummated our mating, the smells will intensify greatly, Fane explained.
You just had to throw that last curve ball in there, didnt you? Well, dont get your hopes up cause Im not going to swing at it, Jacque told him haughtily.
So this whole biting thing is done in private. Why? she asked.
Would you like me to bite you on the neck in front of your mom?
Point to you. Youre right, there is no way that mouth of yours is coming near my neck in front of anyone, not my mom and especially not your parents, Jacque said.
Oh crap, she thought, I have to meet his parents. She felt panicky at that thought yet she didnt know why. She hadnt been nervous when she'd met Trents parents. She heard Fane growl as he caught the thought of Trent in her mind.
Oh shut up already, you over possessive, royal, Romanian pain in the backside. Its not like Im thinking about him biting my neck, Jacque said sarcastically.
Fane stood up and sat next to her on the bed. He leaned closer and swept her hair away from her neck, revealing the markings on her shoulders and neck. Fane traced the marks and let out a low growl. Jacque shivered at his touch and found that she couldnt quite keep herbreathing even. Actually, she felt like she might pass out at any moment. What came next almost sealed her fate.
Fane leaned even closer and whispered in her ear, I would hope you were not thinking of him biting your neck. I assure you that once I do you will never have need to think of another again. And then he gently placed his lips on her neck. Jacque didnt even try to suppress the small moan that came out of her tightly closed lips. But naturally, Fane could not leave well enough alone. After he kissed her neck, he pulled his lips away playfully and gently nipped her.
Jacque jumped and turned to look at him breathlessly, putting her hands up as if to ward him off. I, um... She shook her head and rubbed her face with both hands as she struggled to get her thoughts and words to cooperate with her mouth. Now I understand why that part is done in private. Thank you for demonstrating.
Fane grinned at her wickedly. I could demonstrate again. It is proven that people are most likely to remember things when done three times.
Nice try, Don Juan, but people remember things they are told three times, not things they do, she countered.
We could test out the theory to see if it applies to actions as well. Im all for scientific study, Fane teased.
Well, youre out of luck because I suck at science and therefore do not enjoy it, she said matter of factly.
Fane leaned forward again and this time Jacque leaned back, but this didn't deter him, he just grinned and leaned closer.
So you mean to tell me, my micul incendiu (little fire), you did not enjoy my demonstration? If you did not, then I did not do it correctly and I would feel obligated to try again.
Closing her eyes, Jacque immediately thought of a wall shielding her mind and then she came up with plan. Evasion is not working, time to move on to plan B. If you cant beatem, joinem. Let me just see if I can give him a taste his own medicine and just maybe it will throw him off his game and then I can retreat. You know what Jen would call you right? she asked herself. Yeah, yeah. Im a chicken s_ _ t, so be it.
Her plan of attack decided, Jacque stopped leaning back and instead leaned forward. This did indeed confuse him and make him back up a tad. Encouraged by the little victory, she got a little bolder and scooted her body closer to his. Fanes brow furrowed and she could tell he was wondering what was going on, but he did not move, just sat very still. Jacque decided the angle she was currently in was all wrong for her scheme so she got up on her knees and scooted around until she was directly behind him. She was sitting on her legs with her feet behind her. She placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned close until her mouth was right beside his ear.
