She scoffed. “I don't think you want that at all. I think it was just what you wanted.”
He looked at her for a moment and the smile spread wide across his face. “You’re probably right. I tried to take it slow, but something inside of me wouldn’t let it be.”
“Another part of you?”
“Yeah, the part that is just a little bit feral.”
“Well, whatever it was, that was a lot. I don't know if I'll be able to look you in the eyes for a while. Your feral side is a bit much.”
“Wait until tonight, and I will make you feel all of that with my mouth. Make you beg for more again.”
Cassandra shifted uncomfortably and Antoine just laughed a little louder. Cassandra was having a real hard time with the conversation, but it seemed to be right up his alley. Cassandra didn’t do those kinds of things and she certainly didn’t talk about it.
“Why do you say those kinds of things to me?”
“Probably because I like the way you get goosebumps on your arms and I like how nervous you get. I like that I make you nervous. I like that with a few touches, I can have you screaming out my name. It definitely gives me a feeling of power.”
“And that's why you like it?”
He got serious for a moment, handing her some honey for her biscuits.
“No, it has nothing to do with the power. You are actually the one in control, so you have the power. I’ve never had a girl make me feel the things that you do.”
“So, if you lose power to me, why do you like it? You seem to be a man that wants to keep control.”
“Because you feel so damn good.”
“Does it always do that thing, right at the end?”
“What thing right at the end?”
“You know, where it gets bigger?”
“I don't think it gets bigger.”
She shook her head adamantly to the contrary. “No, trust me. It got bigger. I don't remember that from before, and I didn't think that that was actually a thing. Is it just you, or do other guys do that, too?”
He frowned at that. “Are you already thinking about other men?”
She hitched her breath and just kind of shook her head. “Wow, that happened fast.”
“What?”
“That idiot jealousy thing that you guys do sometimes. I mean, that happened quickly tonight. Just the mention of another guy and you’re right there.”
He didn't say much to that and granted, there wasn't much to say. It wasn't like she was asking a question. It was merely an observation, and whether he wanted to hear it or not, it was still true. Cassandra had too much experience with envious men.
“It would be quite hard not to be jealous of you, Cassandra. I think I am jealous of any man that has ever kissed you or touched you before in their life. Maybe I'm even envious of men that have looked upon you. Now that you’re mine, I never want anyone to look at you like that again. I don't know if I'd be able to take it.”
“Since I'm yours?”
She giggled a little bit because she thought it was funny. She thought he said it like it was a joke, but he was far more serious than she thought he would be. “Yes, Cassandra, you're mine now. I can't be with you in that way and not have you as my own.”
Still, she was laughing a little bit, making light of it, but he got very serious, very quickly.
“I'm not joking, Cassandra. You’re mine now.”
“Don't you think that I'm supposed to have a say in it?”
