CHAPTER 11  The Coup

　　I stared as the door swung shut, feeling the echo thundered through my body.

　　What the hell just happened?

　　My entire body was still tangling from where Dracul touched me. I could feel his body against mine, the heat that radiated off him, the power of his hand against my skin.

　　I shivered, lifting my hand and touching my lips. Did I react like that? Had my body been craving Dracul so badly that I had moaned and kissed him back as I meant it?

　　Did I want him? I had thought he was a monster, someone who I hated, someone who I would never want to be with. And yet here I was, kissing him like it meant nothing.

　　What is wrong with me?

　　I groaned and covered my face, taking a few breaths and trying to process what I had done, what had just happened between us.

　　What had that been anyway? Was it lust, was its insanity, or something in between? I shuddered and shook my head.
