Eddie Brock and Demon Venom: MINE

Chapter Thirty-Two

Eddie didn't know of a more embarrassing situation than riding home with Dan and Anne. He sat in the back quietly...or as quietly as he could...and Dan and Anne were content to leave him alone.

Eddie.

Eddie's heart hardened and he scowled.

What? Why are you upset?

Why did you do that? I told you not to! Anne and Dan had to see that and now they know—

I don't take orders from a silly little human, the demon scoffed.

Well, if you actually loved me you would! Eddie shot back.

Love is simple, Eddie, the demon mused. It is not what you think it is.

No, you have it all wrong. Should I explain it for you or should Anne?

Let's hear it from you, first.

Well, I want to know what your thoughts are about the word love and how we are supposed to use it.

Well....to be honest, I have never experienced such emotions since I met you.

I....I can't tell if you're being serious or not, V.

I'm being serious. I have never felt any emotion like that which I feel for you before, Eddie.

Hmm. Well, tell me what it feels like, maybe I could—-

Eddie, you can barely function at ten o'clock in the morning, the demon chuckled.

Yeah, yeah....

There was a pleasurable feeling passing between their bond for a moment before Venom spoke again.

Love is an intense feeling towards someone. It can vary on how much the person values that something or someone, the demon said slowly as if looking through Eddie's brain.

Love is when Eddie falls and I heal him. It is also present when we saw Dan and Anne's wedding. It was always present from the day I rescued you from.... that.

Eddie nodded.

But it is also present when we do things... things that involve us joining together... becoming one, does it not?

Yeah, and it also involves asking before you do it, Eddie mumbled.

I did! I asked you!

Yeah, but there's something called personal boundaries, V, Eddie sighed and shifted a little. It's like consent but realizing what the person's—here, lemme put it this way. I obviously enjoyed the little sexy time we had back there last night after the wedding, you did great, but there was one thing wrong with it.

Such as?

I didn't want you to expose us to Dan and Anne.

I don't understand. We told them before that we have fucked and have been fucking. How is this different?

It's very different. Okay, remember that time I was in the restaurant and you decided to take out your hunger on me?

After a few moment's hesitation, Venom replied.

Yes.....

Damn if that demon didn't sound smug as fuck right now and that low, soft voice in his ear made Eddie's breath hitch a little.

Okay, yeah, so remember that? I didn't want that then. We were in a public area. And I didn't give you consent to give that to me. Remember that?
