Shopping Part 3
“When your eyes went violet, your allure spiked. You didn't just compel her, you charmed her, too. You physically and mentally controlled her, but you also implanted a thought. You augmented her reality. A vampire can only come, which uses their control of the mind to create physical responses. You used your charm to manipulate her emotions and to implant how you want her to feel. My love, you are truly amazing.” He kissed me. It is a prickling fire with a smoldering heat. It feels outstanding. I just warm all over.
We pull away. He is near breathless just looking into my eyes. I know that I must be redder than some of the dresses that Ira threw at us. “Love, you need to get better at taking compliments.”
“It's hard,” I sigh.
“You were never appreciated. We won't ever give false compliments. We will to others, but never to you,” he replies.
“So you and Ira?”
Trent chuckles. “If you were as old as I am, honey, you'd get around too.”
I can't help but laugh at his frankness. I like that he doesn't hold back with me. He doesn't make me seem like the timid little rabbit that I am. Some of my situations remind me of an old fairy tale called Alice in Wonderland. Right now, I feel like Alice must have felt the moment she tumbled through the looking glass and saw a whole different reality. She, too, had those to help guide her, as I do. However, hers aren't nearly as hot as mine. “Do you still want Ira to know about us?”
“Of course, I am thrilled to have a mate. I have looked off and on for a few thousand years. Plus, I think you saw that she can be trusted,” he says.
“I did, but why does she not think favorably of Chase? He's been nothing but nice to me.”
“I love sex, and it is a part of my nature as an incubus to crave it. It helps fuel my abilities, kinda like an energy bar,” he replies.
“So you use it as a pick-me-up or boost?” I ask.
“Exactly, but I also enjoy it for what it is. Chase was a playboy until you came along.”
“Griffins don't have the same requirements as demons, do they?”
Trent shakes his head. “No, they do not. Different Underworlders have different requirements, even if they may be light or dark magic users. Now, many dark users immensely enjoy sex and don't just need it to fuel them.”
“Like a witch could choose to use sex magic or not.”
Trent nods. “Yes, and whether she or he was a white witch or dark mage would play a role as well.”
“There's just so much to learn.”
Trent smiles. “Honey, it took me centuries.
Don't put extra pressure on yourself. We all have a history. For many, it was just sex, but a few found love. Nothing remotely like what we have now, though. Having a mate changes all of that.”
His hands started to massage my shoulders. I just became putty in his hands. I have never had a massage in my life. “I will change that. You feel amazing. Nevertheless, I want to do it right later. This is just to relax you for now.”
“So Ira and Chase?”
“Yep. She caught a bit of an attachment, and he didn't.”
I growl. “You do know what I did to the last bitch that overstepped.”
He chuckles. “So possessive, love.”
“I wasn't until the other day. I have only had bad relationships until now. The guy would get very controlling and even aggressive. That is, if he didn't go batshit crazy first.”
“Well, love, we all will fix that.”
“You are just so accepting of all of this.”
“Part of what I am. Also part of what you do to me,” he explains.
“But I'm not doing anything.”
“But you are. Just by being you.” He kissed me again. The heat returned, as did the sparks. This time, they surged a bit. “Mmmm, I know you feel it.”
“The electric pulse?”
Trent smiles. “Yes. That's only there with you. Now, let's get you out of these clothes and into some new ones.”
“I shouldn't be the only one getting naked here,” I suggest.
Trent winks. “I love the way you think.” This isn't me. I don't have this type of desire. What are these guys doing to me? He just looks at me with his dark, lustful eyes. He heard me, of course, he heard me!
