Chapter 18 : Between Systems

Theodora’s POV

Aeolus was a few days away. Until then, I was going to spend my free time on the bridge or drinking with my brother. Anything to keep me away from the two men I kissed the other day. My fingers stroked the side of my neck where Javier bit me.

I could still feel it even though the marks were gone.

My body twisted up at the memory. Damn it. I can’t believe he bit me.

More unbelievable to me was that he gave me the supernova of orgasms when he fed off me. I never thought I’d be the type of person to enjoy that sort of thing, but there I was, moaning like I was being paid for it, as he drank from me. Fucking ridiculous.

Every time I tell myself not to fuck Javier, I end up doing everything but fuck him. Who could blame me? Mads wasn’t the jealous type, but apparently, Javier was.

And I shamefully liked watching Javier get all wound up about me and Mads. Dangerous. That was a dangerous dynamic to like.
