Love Bites

Chapter 1

Sweaty bodies were pressed up against me as I gridded up against the bodies that were in front and behind me. My platinum hair whipped around me as I swayed my hips to the beat of the music.  Mia was next to me, but was occupied herself with two attractive men keeping her caged in with their bodies. I smiled and titled my head back, letting the ecstasy of music and adrenaline take me away.

The man in front of me grabbed my hips and tugged me closer, burying his head into my neck. I felt his lips trail up and down my bare neck and I let out a sigh. The man behind me trailed his hands up and down my back, and soon wandered towards my front and under my breasts. I clenched my jaws as I felt the air rush out of me. Sweat ran down my forehead and I rolled my head to the side, closing my eyes.

Suddenly, they were gone and I was faced with empty space around me. I opened my eyes to see flashing lights and moving bodies and pounding music.

And Mia smirking at me.

Her long, black blue hair was tied up and her brown eyes gleamed with unspoken words. She crossed her arms across her torso, pushing up her breasts that barely fit in her purple bustier top. Her tan skin glowed in the flashing lights. She smirked at me with her fangs showing, and swayed her hips as she approached me. I grabbed her by the hips and pulled her closely towards me, letting out a small laugh.

"You were getting cozy with those boys," Mia yelled over the pounding music. I shrugged innocently and held back a smile.

"I could say the same thing about you," I teased, and Mia rolled her eyes. I looked around and realized that there was a small circle enclosed around us; no one touching us, yet no one acknowledging us. Perplexed, I narrowed my eyes and observed my surroundings, but was pulled away by Mia, unable to get a chance to find out what had happened. She tugged on my arm and pulled me out of the mosh pit, pushing and elbowing people to get through. Dirty glares and unintelligent words were exchanged, but I ignored them.

Finally, we made it out of the dance floor, only to find that the bar was crowded too. Mia signed in frustration, and pulled me in a different direction. I followed helplessly, binded by Mia's strong grip. She headed towards the upper level of the club and dragged me up the stairs. It was only until we reached the top that I realized what she was going to do.

"We can't," I shook my head, pulling myself the other direction. But Mia's vice-like grip prevented me to walk two steps away from her. Against the far wall were canopies that draped over a set of couches. Some were closed with a thin slik, but it didn't do much hiding what was happening in there.

"It's not gonna be as bad as you think," Mia said. "You have to start talking on a regular basis soon enough."

"I'd rather not start now." I hissed. Mia was unaffected by my hostile tone, and pulled me towards the row of canopies. I already knew what tent was his, could smell him and his sweat, and my stomach flipped. He wasn't alone in the canopy. He had multiple bodies in there. And I could smell that they were all girls.

Anger boiled in me, but I pushed it down. I approached the tent with hesitant as Mia pulled open the thin silk without a second glance. My breath hitched as my eyes took in the tent. 

A coffee table in the middle with two couch chairs surrounding it. Across the coffee table was a long loveseat. And on that loveseat were girls.

And Gabriel Cross.

I clenched my jaw as my eyes roamed over his body that was currently covered with girls. His hair was pitch black and messy, hanging low over his eyes and curling around his ears. His scruff defined his high cheekbones, and his grey eyes were on mine, only realizing that he was studying me as I was to him.

I blushed and crossed my arms, suddenly becoming insecure as to what I was wearing. The girls were still on him, kissing his neck and running their hands up and down his body. I suddenly felt sick as I took in my surroundings, wanting to tear the throats out of each and every girl that was on him. Gabriel's eyes never left mine, but that didn't make me feel any better.

Mia stepped into the canopy. "Get out." She hissed, her voice coated with venom. The girls looked at Mia, and didn't hesitate to get out. They scrambled away with shrieks and laughter, hissing insults at Mia and me. I coward away from them, bumping clumsily into Mia. She grabbed onto my upper arm to balance me and gave me a smirk.

"I think it's time for you to sit down," She said, urging me to sit next to Gabriel. I pressed my lips together and avoided looking at him. I cleared my throat and shook my head.

"I'm good," My voice wavered, looking at Gabriel from the corner of my eye. He was still looking at me, and that somehow bothered me. I wasn't willing to give myself to him just yet. He needs to learn how to contain his needs and desires. Especially for women.

"Hello Evelyn." Gabriel's voice drew out, smooth and low. Chills ran down my body and I finally turned to look at him.

"Hello Gabriel," I said, keeping my voice calm and solemn. "I see that you've had a busy night." I forced out. Gabriel smirked and leaned lazily into the loveseat.

"As did you," Gabriel cooly replied. I clenched my jaw from baring my fangs at him. I wasn't going to let him scrutinize my decisions when I wasn't allowed to do the same to him. "Come sit down. You look tired." He invited. I pushed the air out of my lungs and hesitated. My head was suddenly pounding and I shook my head. Before I could say anything, I bent over and threw up.
