32. Evalee

EVALEE

I lead Hunter down a path paved with flowers, staring up at the twinkling stars sparkling in the sky. The way I move feels different than normal, like I’m more in control over my body. A seductress. Powerful. Hypnotic.

My heart is steady inside my chest as I steer him farther down the path and into the darkness. Then my pulse quickens with excitement as I turn around and look at him.

“You don’t need to worry,” I tell him, my lips curling. “I won’t hurt you.”

Not physically, anyway.

I can feel a darkness stirring inside my chest. A darkness begging to be fed. It’s terrifying and invigorating. I want to turn around and run, yet at the same time, I want to keep going.

Soft, sultry music flows from somewhere and candles sparkle in the distance. The air is hot and my skin is damp beneath the short dress covering my body. I feel sexy and alive. Awake for the first time. In control.

I love the feeling. Crave more of it.

I walk backward in front of Hunter, still holding his hand. I slip my tongue out of my mouth to wet my lips, and his eyes flare with desire as he watches the movement. When I do the movement again, he lets out a groan.

The urge to lean forward and bite on his lip rushes through my body, and I lean forward to do just that. A simple taste, but it sends my senses into a frenzy and makes Hunter groan again.

I’ve never felt this way before. Wildly in control, yet reckless, like I’m about to do something very wrong, yet so, so right.

“Are you ready?” I ask, stopping where the path opens up.

Thousands of candles flicker across the ground, matching the stars in the sky. Leaves and flower petals rain in the air. This place is gorgeous, familiar, but I don’t know why.

Hunter slowly nods, skimming the inside of my wrist with his finger. “Fuck yes.”

A smile tugs at my lips as I move into the space at the end of the path. Petals and leaves instantly swirl around us, making the atmosphere magical. But the uplifting feeling clashes with the hungry darkness clawing at my chest.

I need something. From him.

A nervous breath puffs from his lips as he stares at me, hypnotized, waiting.

For what?

I crook my finger at him. “Come here.”

He steps toward me until our bodies are nearly flushed. “Now what?”

I stare into his eyes. “Do you want me?”

He nods without hesitation. “More than anything.”

I pull him closer. “How come you’ve never said anything before?”

His shaky fingers find my waist. “Because I was afraid.”

I trace my finger up and down his back, smiling to myself as he shivers. I have so much power over him.

“Afraid of what?”

He loops his arms around my waist, then slants forward, leaving only a mere inch between our lips. “You. Me. How I feel about you. What it means. How the society would react …” He trails off, his gaze dropping to my lips. “I want you so badly, Eva.”

“I want you, too.” My bold words don’t feel like they belong to me. Nothing about me does at the moment. Something is wrong, and I know it, but I can’t stop myself from leaning closer to him and breathing in his scent. “You smell so good.” Tasty.

I’m going to devour you.

The thought sends terror coursing through me, but the darkness in my chest promptly squashes it.

“So do you,” he whispers dazedly.

I dip my lips closer to his. “I want to kiss you.”

What is happening to me?

He shuts his eyes and lets out an untamed moan. “I want you to kiss me, too.”

Giving him what he wants, and what the darkness inside me craves, I seal my lips to his.

He shivers, his eyes slipping shut.

A consuming hunger blazes through my veins as I deepen the kiss, slipping my tongue into his mouth.

He whimpers, almost seeming in pain, but he has to like what I’m doing to him because he says, or more like begs, “Please, Eva, I need more.”

I give him what he wants, and what the darkness inside me craves, as I tangle my tongue with his, tasting, wanting, driving him mad.

My pulse throbs as I grab ahold of him, stabbing my fingernails into his flesh. A husky moan flees his lips, and I press my body closer to him, kissing him fiercely, nearly bruising our mouths.

What in the world is happening to me? I’ve never acted this way before. So out of control. So bold. So sexual …

My mind gets lost in a cloud of desire as I kiss his jawline, his neck, gently grazing my teeth across his skin. I’m sweltering with need.

Take it from him, Eva. Feed your powers .

What powers?

He groans out my name as I bite his neck, kind of roughly, too.

He clutches on to me, groaning and panting, begging for more.

“Eva,” he groans out my name as his head tips back and his hand finds the back of my head. “More please.”

I bite him again, probably breaking skin. I’d worry maybe I have vampire blood in me, but it’s not his blood I crave. It’s him—all of him.

“This is crazy,” I whisper more to myself. “But I can’t control myself.”

“Good … I don’t want you to.”

I bite down on his neck again, leaving teeth marks. “I’m going to devour you.”

“Yes, please …” he begs as my lips move toward his mouth again.

I prepare to kiss him until he can’t breathe, until the hunger inside me is fully fed. But right as our lips are about to reunite, I realize what’s happening.

I’m seducing Hunter in a dream.

Max told me I have succubus blood.

Oh, my God, I’m in succubus form right now!

I jerk back and slap myself across the face. “Wake up!”

Hunter gapes at me with wide eyes. “Eva, what are you ? —”

I smack myself again, and it seems to do the trick as I’m yanked away from Hunter and into the unknown.
