Bound: Toxic Bite (Book 1)

Chapter X

  Dimitri's POV

  Waking up, I could feel the pressure from the brightness on my eyelids. I blinked my eyes open, but something didn't feel right. I wasn't fully aware as my sight was slightly blurry. I rubbed my face, trying to wake myself up a little, but it wasn't worth it. Last night... I drank to much. Alcohol usually doesn't have an effect on me because of the fast healing process, but it kept me numb for a while. Sitting up, I frowned remembering what happened.

 
  *Staring outside the window, my thoughts were starting to go numb. Good, the alcohol started effecting me. I took another long sip from the bottle when I heard the door opening. There was a huge part of me hoping it's Amelia, but when I turned around, I saw Jenna. I frowned in confusion, but my sight was already starting to blur out. She walked in without even knocking and stopped across from me. "Jenna? What are you doing here?" I asked taking a step towards her.

  "I brought you dinner," She answered with that high pitched voice of hers, holding a glass of blood.

  I raised my eyebrows at her answer. This girl didn't have a problem with confidence. "I never asked you to." I said blankly, turning around again. She was supposed to leave but instead I heard her putting the glass down on the small table and walking towards me. I gave her less chores today because I was pissed at Amelia. I knew I had to punish her and this was the easiest way to. But Jenna might have taken that the wrong way.

  Soon, I felt her hand on my shoulder, making me turn around. "I just wanted to thank you for showing me the other option today. About my chores," She said, but I could clearly hear the falseness in her voice. "And I thought that you might need something. Else," She added as her finger moved on my jawline and then down my chest. I was doing my best not to roll my eyes at her. She wasn't the first or the last slave that's trying something like this. If I needed something 'else' I would've done it ten times by now.

  I took her hand with mine and put it away. She was just unbelievable. "You clearly don't know your place here, Jenna." I said with a firm voice, watching her expression fall. "Leave while you haven't pissed me off completely." I really wasn't in the mood for this.

  She leaned in, whispering to my ear. "Oh, I know you don't want me to leave, baby." I clenched my jaw, feeling the anger causing my blood to boil in my veins. Taking her wrist, I slightly pushed her so she'd look at me.

  "Do you want me to punish you? Where the fuck are your manners?!" I growled out, unable to control myself. She really pushed until I was close to the edge. But there was fear in her eyes. Good. "Show some respect," I said coldly before letting go of her wrist. She instantly looked down for a second, but then her eyes met mine again.

  "I'm sorry, Master." She blinked a few times with those blue eyes of hers. But I wasn't done with her yet. I wasn't a fool. I knew what she was doing.

  I let out a breath, feeling the alcohol taking over my control. "Look, I know girls like you. Don't think I haven't experienced the lot of you. Every single fucking year, at least one of you tried to seduce me so I'd go easy on you. It doesn't work. In fact, it has the complete opposite effect. So don't bother," I thought of Amelia for a second. Thought of the fact that this year was somehow different. She was different. Without even trying, she managed to show me something new. Unlike Jenna, Amelia knew her place, but that just made me want her more. Quiet, innocent, breathtaking.

  I shook the feeling off, trying to turn around again, but I felt Jenna's hand on mine, not letting me. "I'm not doing this so you'd go easy on me. Don't go easy on me." Her voice was fading away, but that look in her eyes wasn't. She sure knew how to flirt, but at this point, the only thing in my head was Amelia. Her dark hazel eyes staring at me, her long silken eyelashes swaying, her lips,- "I don't want you to be gentle," She whispered in my ear and my hand instantly moved to her waist.
