Okami's POV:
She finally gave in. Her body, every inch of it, is mine. I could see her eyes filling again with tears while I fed on my desire with no restraint, and instead of stopping, I felt a twisted rush of excitement. How soft and trembling her skin was—gosh, I could have my fill.
"S-Stop…" she uttered quietly, placing her hands on my chest, gently pushing me away.
Huh? My line of sight dropped immediately to her nervously shaking hands on me. What's wrong?
It was the first time I felt emotion flare within me—frustration: stopping me after all this time? When I restrained myself for this long?
"I… I'm scared…" she said, her breath shaking and body trembling like a leaf in the wind.
At that, I forced out, "So?" I was surprised at how cold my voice sounded, even to me. It had to hurt, but the words were out there.
She recoiled from my tone, and this finally broke her: "I know I am not making you happy. But just… just give me a little bit more time. I promise I will give you everything you want… Just not right now."
I clenched my jaws, my frustration now crashing against guilt. Why the hell would I have to wait for anything? My very body raged for me to disregard her words and take what was mine.
But then… I looked at her.
Her legs just curled inward instinctively, while her arms wrapped about her protectively. Her whole body trembled, not knowing whether from anticipation or fear.
Damn it…
I sighed heavily and broke away by sheer will. Lying on my back, I stared at the ceiling, letting out a sharp breath.
"This will be the last time I let you go, Bunny," I murmured in a dark but controlled tone. "Next time you get caught in my fangs… I won't hold back."
And then I lay beside her, just a little farther.
