"Stop it! Seriously!" I laughed, trying to wrestle myself out of his hold. He continued to kiss my neck playfully, as though he hadn't heard me but I'm sure he did. His hold on me tightened every time I tried to push him away from me, but he was caging me from the back in a way I couldn't escape.

"Sebby, come on! We're going to be late!" I warned, but then I hissed in delight when his lips brushed against the flesh which he healed seconds ago from his bite. In all honesty, I didn't care if we were late, but I didn't want to disrespect Sophie.

After all, it is her birthday tonight.

I want to thank her so bad for this, because this is the second time I get to see Sebby in a black and white formal suit. Usually when he attends his business, he wears any other coloured suits which just puts those human models to shame, because honestly that man can wear anything and still look good in it.

I once forced him to wear a giant black plastic bag just to prove my point, and it did. Even with just a black plastic bag covering his body, he still looked unbelievably breathtaking.

He's a Pureblood, a Slade so of course. I'd never expect anything less from one, but Sebastian was just one hell of a sight.

But anyway, he was wearing a black suit with a white dress shirt that hugged his muscular yet lean frame deliciously. His black tie was wrapped around his neck and flowed down his chest, doing a great job at highlighting his chest muscles. The suit was completely black, except his white dress shirt which was a huge contrast to his creamy skin and his dark hair.

Delicious, just... delicious.

I decided to do the same with my colour choice. Black with a small touch of white.

I wore a long, slim night black dress that blended with my pure black hair— which was placed on top of my head in a sophisticated updo, leaving two curled streaks hanging at the sides of my face. The dress wrapped around one shoulder and dipped to wrap around my chest, spiralling around my figure in a way that showed my small frame without sticking to me like a second skin. Black Satin elbow-length gloves covered my hands and arms and made them look more delicate. My heels were black with white glitter and my jewellery was white as well— white pearl necklace, white pearl earrings and white pearl bracelet.

I still can't believe that Sebastian bought real pearl jewels for me. The necklace alone had a cost of $6,200 whilst the earrings and the bracelet each had a price of $2,000.

He said that amount of money was nothing, he didn't even think twice about buying those!

Sebastian insisted that I don't wear makeup at all. Even though I agreed with him— I was already perfect without the extras— but I did want to add a few touches. Smokey grey eyeshadow that caused my night black eyes to look bigger and a tint of a rosy lip gloss.

My eyelashes were thick, dark and long which did not need eyeliner or mascara to make me look like a clown. My cheeks were always a rosy colour, so that was solved as well. We were both looking perfect and ready, but there was one small problem.

"They can wait." he brushed his nose against my neck, causing me to rest my head back against his broad chest and close my eyes contently.

"I was thinking of doing something insane after we come back from the party, though." I teased back, already knowing how I'm going to win this without losing anything.

"And what might that be?" he asked and smiled against my flesh.

"Something that has to do with you and me, without any clothes, getting the sheets messed up and not thinking about anything but ou—"

Sebastian's warning hiss stopped me from finishing, but it didn't stop me from chuckling. I just knew it.

"We should hurry up and finish this party quickly." he muttered quickly, taking my hand in his and ignoring the looks his servants and butlers gave us as he walked us out of his mansion and to his car. How about we don't get this night over and done with so quickly?

I can already tell it would be entertaining.

"Sebby, let's go back." I hissed in irritation, my grip curling tighter around Sebastian's arm.

The moment we walked into the room, the scent of lust and desire suffocated me badly as every eye snapped to me and Sebastian. I was enjoying the looks the males gave me, but definitely not the looks the females gave Sebastian.

"Yes, I think we should." he spoke back calmly, yet his actions were anything but that. His grip returned my strong grip when he looked around as well. Well, now that that's settled, there's no need for us to—

"The gorgeous, jealous couple finally makes it here."

Sebastian and I both become tense as Jay approaches us with a teasing smirk. Jealous? I am anything but—

"There's no point in trying to deny it, sweetheart."

"Stop reading my thoughts!" I snapped, glaring at him. He only smirked wider, moving to give Sebastian a hand slap or a hand shake and that one shoulder hug or half hug with the pat on the back men do. I bit my bottom lip and watched as they did that hug, finding it absolutely arousing to see two stunning men act like that. Why wasn't Jay gay and why didn't he have a crush on Sebastian?

"Why are you biting your lip like that and why are you looking at us like that?" Sebastian rolls his eyes, but Jay looks at me with a knowing look. He read my thoughts again, the bastard.

Before I knew what to say to him, he moved to me and dipped his head down to place a kiss on my cheek. Sebastian hissed and he instinctively pulled me into his embrace and glared daggers at Jay. I rolled my eyes and pushed Sebastian away from me, but I froze when I heard a familiar shriek.

"Sebastian, let's go and walk around for a while! I missed you so much!" Jay grinned with a panicked expression, but Sebastian did not listen at all. Sophie pressed me to her carelessly, and I wondered if she didn't see Sebastian there. I placed my hands over her arms, since she was hugging me from the back, and gave Sebastian a warning look.

"She's only hugging me, not making out with me."

A muscle in his jaw twitched and an eyebrow was raised. Oh, damn. That was definitely not the smartest thing to say to him in a situation like this.

Before Sebastian's eyes could drift to their frightening colour, before he could take a step forward and strangle Sophie and probably me, I speeded to him, cupped his cheeks in my hands and pulled his lips against mine quickly. I felt him relax against me after a second and soon he wrapped his arms around my waist. I wanted to laugh when I heard Sophie's what? and Jay's sigh of relief.

"Happy birthday, Sophie." I let out a breath when I pulled my lips away from Sebastian's, but he didn't want to do the same. He pulled me into him and buried his face in my neck, kissing quietly. I couldn't even focus or keep calm with the way his lips were caressing me.

"You didn't get me anything?" she gasped dramatically, crossing her arms together. "Oh, well, you can always pay me back."

"Sophie, do you want to die?!" Jay hissed at her and I curled my arms around Sebastian's toned waist, pulling him back to me when he wanted to pull away. She has to watch the tone she uses and her words. They can really cause her death one day.

"Come on," I urge Sebastian, pulling back to look into his annoyed face. Unconsciously, I licked my lips, and frowned when his eyes fell to watch my lips after. "I didn't come here for nothing. We have to have fun."

A few rounds of dancing, a few rounds of light drinking— Sebastian compelled me not to drink too much— and I found myself sitting down with cute Jay. Actually, no. He looked so yummy in that suit. Cute is not the word for him.

"So..." I smirked, looking down at my drink. It was a strange red colour. Usually, red wines are a little dark, but this one was light, almost an orange colour. "A human, huh?"

"What?" he whispered, his head snapping to me quickly. "What human?" he tried to stay calm about it, but his tone really betrayed him, even his heartbeat which increased. I shook my head and chuckled, taking another sip of my drink. Sophie better not be thinking of becoming straight. She was dancing with Sebastian, anything could happen.

"Sophie told me, Jay-Jay, no need to panic." I scooted closer to him, laying my head on his shoulder as I leaned into him. "Why a human?"

"I can't help who I fall for, Jewel." he sighed, laying his head on top of mine as he took my hand and started playing with my fingers. "I'm a Pureblood, not a Vampire."

A Pureblood with a heart, not a Vampire with no emotions.

"That's not true." he lifted his head a little then bumped back quickly. I groaned, because he had done that to hit me with his head. "If you didn't have any emotions, how do you explain Sebastian, then?"

"Sebby is a special case. But don't change the subject, start spilling." I demand, rolling my eyes.

"Spill what?" he chuckled in amusement.

"I don't know, but I think it means reveal your secrets. The humans say that a lot in cheesy movies." I admitted.

"You have a crazy obsession with humans."

"Not as crazy as my obsession with Sebby." I scoffed, being completely honest. "Now, talk."

"Okay, relax a little." he laughed this time, taking my drink and swallowing it all in one gulp. My mouth hung open and I stared at him in shock. His green eyes sparkled when he grinned back at me. "She's nineteen, lives by herself and she's beautiful." he sighed the last bit, a smile lifting his lips as he spoke. I placed a hand on the table and rested my chin against my palm as I listened. He didn't want to elaborate or describe any more, which disappointed me. I want to know more about her.

"Can I have her name, at least?" I pouted.

"Hazel," he blurted, the smile still on his face. "Just like the colour of her eyes."

"You're so far gone, Jay-Jay." I snickered.

"Sebastian isn't any better." he defended himself. Hm, that could be true, I suppose.

"You know it's true." he nudged my shoulder with a smirk on his face, and I only sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, I need to go find him now." I stood up, sighing again as I tried to find his scent. There were far too many Purebloods and their Vampires, way too many Slades and his scent was really difficult to find.

"Why?"

I looked at him as though he was crazy, maybe stupid for not knowing. "I'm craving something called Sebastian. Ever heard of it? It's delicious."

He shook his head and waved his hands at me, then he froze as though he had remembered something important. By the looks of it, it seemed really serious because his face hardened a little.

"Be careful who you end up getting." his voice was tight and his body was rigid. Something really was going on here. I didn't wonder too much on his words, since I had already started looking around for Sebastian. Where is he? I really need a dose of him right now.

Every where I looked, it was a Vampire or a Pureblood or a Slade. Slades I tried to avoid, so was everyone else around, from what I saw. Since I didn't pay attention to where I was going, I ended up walking into something solid and hard.

It was a familiar chest, a very familiar chest. I staggered a few steps back from the impact, but I sensed hands on my upper arms, steadying me. The touch didn't cause any tingles or a pull or anything. I looked up and saw Sebastian smirking at me, yet something about him was wrong. Something about him was off and I couldn't get my head around what it was.

His touch didn't get a reaction out of me or my body or my soul. His presence did affect me, but not his touch. Something was off, definitely off.

Nevertheless, I ignored whatever it was and rolled my eyes. "I've been looking for you everywhere. It's about time you came back to me."

His smirk widened and there was an unrecognisable glint in his eyes. I raised an eyebrow at him, but pulled his hand and led him to a dark and empty corner, far from people and their eyes, far from their spying ears. I continued pulling him to me until I turned around and pressed him against my body, my back being pressed against a wall. I liked it when he pressed me against a wall or a door. It was just exciting.

I hooked my fingers in the belt of his pants and pulled his body closer to me, mirroring his smirk when I looked up at him. He pressed his body even closer to me, making me straighten up against the wall. He placed his hands on my waist, and still, his touch caused no reaction.

"I hope Sophie still walks that way. I don't want her having a thing for you, because you're taken." I snaked a hand behind his neck and pulled him down towards me, his lips nearing my lips. They looked so delicious and inviting. "You're mine."

I closed the gap that was between our lips and immediately I noticed that something really was wrong. Why was I not reacting? Why was my soul screaming for me to back away from him? But the grip that he had on me was imprisoning. The way he kissed me and touched me made me feel pleasure, at least, which was what I came here for.

My hands fell to his chest and before I could decide whether to pull him closer or push him back, I heard a bloodthirsty hiss that made everything around me shake, even the wall I was against.

I froze and my eyes snapped wide open.

Sebastian was pulled away from me and when I saw who dared to pull him away, I stilled. Standing in front of me, being held back by Jay, Sophie and a few Slades— I detected— was Sebastian, my Sebastian. From the way my body and my soul reacted, it's definitely my Sebastian.

I looked to the other group of Slades who held another man and my mouth slackened, my eyes a picture that captured the word horror and shock itself. Please tell me this isn't what I think it is!

"She's the most ravishing thing I've ever seen in my entire existence," said the man I had just kissed, a devilish smirk on his lips. "Brother."
