THE GIRLS DORMITORY
The digital clock on the wall flashed exactly three in the morning.
There were exactly twenty-seven days left until the stupid deal was over.
Twenty-seven long, agonizing days until the vampire completely disappeared from her life.
But right now, Twila wasn't thinking about the timeline at all.
She woke up in her room, completely covered in a cold sweat. Her chest was heaving up and down like she just ran a marathon.
She tried to take a deep breath, but a horrible, burning ache ripped straight through her stomach. It didn't feel like the Void magic waking up. It felt like a physical chain was wrapped totally tight around her ribs.
"What the fuck is happening to me," Twila whispered out loud to the room.
She tried to lay back down on the pillows, but her body completely refused to listen to her brain.
Her legs swung out of the bed on their own. She stood up on the floor, her eyes completely glazed over and foggy.
The bond was completely hijacking her system. It was dragging her toward the door of her bedroom.
"Stop," Twila mumbled weakly, trying to force her feet to stay totally still. "I don't want to go out there."
But the magnetic pull was incredibly overwhelming. It felt like her heart would
stop beating if she didn't follow the heavy, invisible rope pulling her forward.
She grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. She stepped out into the freezing cold hallway, wearing nothing but tiny sleep shorts and a baggy white t-shirt.
Twila walked exactly three steps across the corridor. She stopped right in front of the door directly across from hers.
Niles Vayne's bedroom.
"Turn around, Twila," her brain screamed at her. "Go back to your room right now!"
But her hand raised up on its own. She knocked her knuckles softly against the door.
She stood there shivering in the dark, her heart hammering a crazy, violent rhythm against her chest.
The door clicked loudly and swung wide open.
Niles stood right in the doorway. He was shirtless, wearing just dark sweatpants hanging low on his hips. He looked exhausted, with circles under his eyes.
When he saw Twila standing there in the middle of the night, his jaw dropped open in shock.
"Twila?" Niles breathed out, totally confused. "What the hell are you doing out here? Are you okay?"
"I don't know," Twila whimpered, tears of pure frustration filling her foggy eyes. "I can't stop my own body, Niles. The bond just woke me up and dragged me right to your door."
Niles froze, his eyes going wide.
He felt it too. The heavy, intoxicating pull of the mate bond crashed into his chest the second he looked at her.
"Go back to your room, Twila," Niles growled roughly, his hands curling into tight fists at his sides. "I am trying to play fair. I am trying to be a good guy. Go back inside before I do something stupid."
"I can't move," Twila choked out, her body leaning forward against her will. "My legs won't turn around."
Niles stared at her flushed face, his fangs dropping down instantly over his bottom lip. The bond completely snapped inside his brain.
He didn't fight it for another second.
Niles grabbed her waist tight with both of his hands, pulling her into his bedroom. He kicked the door shut behind her, pinning her right against it.
"You are making me crazy," Niles groaned, crashing his mouth onto hers.
Twila didn't push him away. She kissed him back aggressively, opening her mouth
wide and tangling her fingers deep into his hair.
The kiss was desperate and incredibly messy. It tasted like mint and raw hunger.
"Touch me," Twila begged breathlessly, her body burning up from the inside out. "Please, Niles."
Niles let out a dark, animal growl. He grabbed the hem of her t-shirt and pulled it over her head, throwing it onto the floor.
He looked down at her bare breasts in the room, his eyes totally blown wide with lust.
"You are so fucking perfect," Niles whispered, leaning his face down to kiss her neck.
He didn't bite her this time, he just sucked hard over her collarbone, licking the skin with his hot, wet tongue. His hands slid right down her sides, gripping her hips tightly.
Twila moaned loudly, arching her back hard against the door. She wrapped her arms tight around his shoulders, pulling his chest flush against hers.
"I can't stop thinking about you," Niles muttered against her skin, moving his mouth right over her left breast.
He sucked her nipple into his mouth, pulling on the sensitive center with a tug. He used his teeth to gently bite the nipple, sending a jolt of electricity straight down to her stomach.
"Fuck, yes," Twila gasped out loud, her hips grinding against his thighs on their own.
Niles moved his mouth to her other breast, worshipping her perfectly while his hand slid down her stomach.
He slipped his fingers under the waistband of her sleep shorts. He pushed the fabric down just enough to reach her panties.
"You are completely drenched for me, beautiful," Niles smiled a dark, sexy smile
against her skin.
He pushed two long fingers straight past the lace, sliding perfectly into her soaking wet core.
Twila threw her head back against the door, a loud, helpless scream ripping out of her throat.
Niles pumped his fingers deep inside her hot, tight pussy. He moved incredibly fast, using his crazy vampire speed to hit her most sensitive spot over and over again.
"Tell me this feels good," Niles demanded roughly, his thumb pressing down hard on her clit.
"It feels so damn good," Twila cried, her fingernails digging deep scratches into his back. "Don't stop, Niles, please don't stop!"
Niles kissed her mouth deeply, swallowing her loud moans. He pumped his fingers faster and harder, determined to make her shatter right in his arms.
The overwhelming pleasure built up way too fast. Twila's whole body started shaking violently against the door.
"I'm going to cum!" Twila sobbed, her legs trembling weakly.
"Let it go for me," Niles growled, rubbing his thumb right as he pushed his fingers deep.
Twila completely fell apart.
She climaxed incredibly hard, a wave of pure heat washing over her brain. She cried out loudly, her pussy clenching tight around his moving fingers.
Niles slowed his hand down, letting her ride out the orgasm. He rested his forehead gently against hers, both of them panting heavily in the room.
The heavy, intoxicating fog of the mate bond slowly started to lift. The crazy magical trance melted out of Twila's brain.
She blinked her eyes, reality crashing instantly back into her chest. She was standing half-naked in the vampire's room.
Niles pulled his wet fingers out of her shorts. He stepped back slowly, dropping his hands to his sides.
He completely braced his body, expecting her to scream at him. He expected a slap too.
Twila just stood there leaning against the door. She pulled her t-shirt off the floor and slipped it quietly back over her head.
She didn't yell, she didn't look angry at all.
She just looked tired and confused by her own body.
"You can hit me," Niles whispered softly, looking down at the floor. "I promised
I wouldn't touch you like that again, and I broke my word. Just hit me, Twila."
Twila looked at his face, she felt absolutely zero anger toward him. She knew exactly what the bond felt like, because it forced her to walk through the door too.
"I am not going to hit you, Niles," Twila said, her voice calm and quiet.
Niles looked up in shock, his eyes wide.
"You aren't mad at me?" Niles asked, his voice shaking just a tiny bit.
"We were both under the curse," Twila sighed, rubbing her tired eyes. "I know you didn't force me. My body walked in here on its own."
She turned around and grabbed the door handle.
"I am going back to sleep now," Twila muttered softly. "Goodnight, Niles."
"Goodnight, Twila," Niles whispered, watching her open the door.
Twila walked out of his bedroom, closing the door gently behind her. She walked across the dark hallway and went back into her room.
She didn't cry or panic. She just climbed back into her bed, feeling completely numb.
But across the hallway, Niles slid down his door. He dropped his head into his hands, realizing that this girl was going to break his heart and he had fallen too deep.
