Prey

Chapter 93 (Doe's POV)

Doe's POV:

This was a stupid bet.

I knew that going into that, but I realized that I could not say no to a challenge.

So here I waited, hoping that Nico would come banging on the door here any seconds now.

I had absolutely no reason to think that today would be the day, it's just the side I chose, and now I was stuck with it

My fingers drummed against my hips while I stared at the door, trying to manifest his arrival.

But really I was just trying to distract myself.

At the time neared the deadline we'd set, the more and more I thought about what I'd put on the line.

I'd already decided that today was going to be the day I'd ask him to go through with biting me, so in a way, I'd already accepted my loss.

It was just every time I thought about it... About him coming near my neck, memories of the last time kept popping up unprompted into my brain.

It caused an intriguing sensation and brought that weightless feeling into my stomach.

Even more so ever since our conversation yesterday.

It was something so close to excitement, which I found myself battling with since it was ludicrous to find excitement in him biting me.

That's all it would be right? Just the bite, letting him get a few gulps in, and then we would be done.

...How boring.

Although, he may do that extra stuff again if I asked.

Heat overtook the back of my neck, crawling up to my cheeks at the thought.

God, this was so weird.

It was somewhat embarrassing admitting to myself that I wanted to feel him against me like that again.

The concept was still so foreign. To want to have someone touch me or... whatever that action would be considered.

It even differed from just the general safety I found within his arms. At least that I could deduce.

But this... this was much different. It was practically harassing me in the way it made me long for that sensation all over again.

A chill ran up my spine at the thought, further proving it.

God, this just all felt so... vulnerable, but that didn't sway the undeniable pull I'd been having to him lately.

Or the comfort I felt whenever I was close to him. No matter in which way it was.

As long as it was him, I was fine. I was safe.

I huffed out a breath as I tried to come to terms with all of this.

I wanted him to bite me so I could replace the memories I had around my neck while also itching for that sensation he brought me the last time he was there.

Maybe the experiences will be similar or something.

All I knew was that thinking about it like this wasn't going to get me anywhere.

If I wanted results, I was just going to have to get them myself.

And I wanted them soon so I could try to piece these things together.

Ugh, screw this bet.

"Alright," I spun on my heel to face him from where he sat on his bed, "I give up."
