I nearly told her to now, the desire to teach her mouth a lesson with my cock growing exponentially with each passing second.

But I decided another lesson would be more prudent in our situation.

I returned the bar of soap to its holder and rinsed my hands beneath the spray.

Then I walked Calina backward into the tiled wall.

Her hazel eyes flickered with uncertainty, yet she held my gaze even as I slid a thigh between hers. I caged her in with my body, my palms claiming her hips.

She trembled.

I smiled.

“You believe seduction is a key principle in hunting prey, that it’s only natural for you to feel aroused in my presence because of what I am, notwhoI am. Correct?”

“Yes.” The confirmation came out on a soft exhale that I felt against my chin.

“What about pleasure?” I wondered. “Do humans only experience it as anaturalreaction to the predator’s prowess?”

Her brow furrowed. “Do you mean during death?”

Such a telling reply, one that had me tightening my grip on her. “Is that the only time a human feels pleasure when in the company of a superior being?”

“The point is to enrapture the prey. So I suppose a certain amount of endorphins are involved in the process.”

“Is that what you feel now?” I asked, my lips skimming her cheek as I kissed a path to her ear. “A certain amount of endorphins?”

“I… I feel… yes.”

“Hmm,” I hummed, intrigued by her interpretation of her body’s reactions. It was a practical assessment that suggested she’d never truly experienced the thrall of passion.

Not surprising, given what she’d told me about her single sexual encounter.

Which made this experiment with her all the more fun.

However, I had to define just a few more parameters before we could truly begin. As a scientist, she would appreciate having the facts straight in her thoughts. That way, when I blew her mind, she’d feel the full force of that explosion.

“Did you come while the lycan fucked you in the lab?” I asked. It was a crude question, but Calina didn’t react with emotions. She appeared to prefer science and reason over feelings and sensibilities.

And she didn’t hesitate now. “No.”

“What about with Lilith? Did she ever make you come?” I pressed, my teeth grazing her earlobe as my pulse quickened at the thought. The notion of Lilith using Calina didn’t particularly appeal to me. And that wasn’t a result of it involving Lilith so much as Calina.

An odd revelation, considering I hardly knew the female.

Yet, I felt miraculously possessive of her.

Was that a result of her existence? She’d already mentioned that Lilith had felt similarly. Perhaps it was something to do with her creation in the lab?

“Of course not,” she replied, confirming Lilith had never given her an orgasm. “My gratification served no purpose during her feeding sessions. She only desired my submission and pain.”

“Which is what you think is happening here now, that I’m applying my sensual power over you to encourage you to yield.”

Her throat worked against my lips, her quiver a palpable sensation I felt shivering across my own skin. “Y-yes?”

“You don’t sound very sure,” I murmured against her throbbing vein as I flexed my thigh between her legs. “That’s okay, little genius. I’ll help you see the light in just a few minutes.”

“Light?”
