\u201cStop that,\u201d she scolded. \u201cNo more of that until you tell me what it means, because I get the feeling there\u2019s more to this than your mouth against my skin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor stopped his teasing and looked her in the eye. \u201cWell, I\u2019ve always enjoyed kissing a woman\u2019s neck, but it\u2019s increased a lot since I\u2019ve become a vampire. However, rarely, if at all, have I ever marked someone. It leaves a scent that can\u2019t be detected by anything other than another vampire or werewolf an\u2019 it tells that vampire or werewolf that you\u2019re taken. That, if they were to be so dumb as to make a move or cause you harm, they\u2019d have to answer to me. It\u2019s not a permanent scent, a bonding is needed for that an\u2019 both parties have to want to. Every mark I make on you, is a reminder to me, that you\u2019re mine.\u201d He kept eye contact with her, trying to figure out what she was making of everything.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA werewolf with a good nose could smell you on me,\u201d she cracked, instinctively. \u201cThat\u2019s \u2014 what if I don\u2019t want to belong only to you? What if I \u2014 you \u2014 \u201d She sighed, thinking. \u201cLet me find the right words to say this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor stiffened a bit but didn\u2019t move, \u201cTake your time, luv.\u201d His voice was quiet and his eyes a little guarded as they darted over her face, searching for any twitch of a facial muscle that would give him an inkling as to what she was thinking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer chewed on her lip. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2026 you never asked. We just tumbled into this. I\u2019m not angry. But you should\u2019ve asked. I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m not a thing, to be owned. That way.\u201d She took a deep breath. \u201cThat\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor sighed, \u201cI\u2019m sorry if tha\u2019s what it sounded like but that\u2019s not what it is, I promise. Generally speakin’, when two vampires are in a relationship they mark each other t\u2019 tell everyone else they\u2019re spoken for. I\u2019m not saying tha\u2019 I \u2018own\u2019 you, not by any means, you\u2019re your own person. It\u2019s basically the vampire way of announcing to everyone else tha\u2019 we\u2019re a couple an\u2019 tha\u2019 their advances wouldn\u2019t be welcomed. If you were a vampire, you would\u2019ve marked me as well. All it is, is to let others know that we\u2019re in a relationship.\u201d He watched her again, hoping that she understood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“No, I didn’t say it right.” Frustrated, Summer sat up, fisting her hands. “Victor, what if I did welcome other advances? You never asked me. I’m not — spoken for. Because you didn’t ask.” She pushed a hand through her hair, the other one going to the ruby at her throat. “Victor, I love you, a lot, but … I can’t be — I don’t know how to say this.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
