His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 9

The one of my right snorted. "And how's that? As far as I can see, you've ruined it by flashing yourself at him."

I ignored the little jab at me, and moved on. "I just convince him that one of the girls here is the best. Easy. I'm working for him. Not seducing him. If it were my choice, I'd be upstairs in my room right now."

The two of them laughed in sync, and it was then I noticed they were twins. Why couldn't I remember their names? "Why're you laughing?"

"We aren't blind. Everyone knows that you and King Dominic have something going on."

"I'll tell you what's going on. I can't stand the guy. But Dominic-"

"Dominic what?" Dickwad tested, looking over at me, now only a few feet away, since he had finished saying goodbye. His eyes challenged me to finish my sentence. And who am I to back down from a challenge?

"Is a dickwad," I replied back evenly.

Dominic laughed boisterously, ruffling my hair. "You're cute. Get in the car. It's time to go."

"No," I said bravely.

His eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything to me or move towards me. And yet somehow it was still enough to have me submitting to his will. The two boys were dismissed, and I pulled myself into the backseat. His driver was already in place, so Dominic slipped in right beside me.

This was my last chance. "I really would like to stay here," I announced.

Dominic raised an eyebrow at me. "Thank you for your input."

I gasped. "Stop brushing me off! I don't want to go to your stupid property with you!"

"There's no need to be nervous, Caroline. Everyone that resides in my region is very friendly to my human workers. You'll have plenty of friends. Plus Alfie will be there," Dominic said soothingly when he caught my shaky hands as I tried to put my seatbelt on, once I realized I wasn't going to change his mind at this point.

"How long of a drive is it?"

"Six hours."

I grimaced. How was I not going to kill him in that time span? Or jump out of the moving car? "Would it make it easier on you if I shifted?" Dominic asked. "I've been told my wolf is a good cuddler."

"No thanks. I don't want to be smelling stinky dog breath for six hours."

This amused him greatly. "I think you rather enjoyed my wolf the other night."

"Weird. Because from my point of view-"

"You were scared of me."

Dominic growled in annoyance. "Why not? Because you're a human?"

I nodded. "Shifters are not meant to mess with that part of the body except with other Shifters. It's sacred, it's intimate."

"It's just your throat. It feels good, once I find your sweet spot," he claimed. "I don't have to follow the silly rules set by our old leaders. Besides, maybe I want to be sacred and intimate with you."

"What's a sweet spot?" I blurted. Yes. When Alfie had said I was the ultimate virgin, he was not lying.

Dominic grinned, resting his hands on my thighs and rubbing them softly. "It's your weakness. Not everyone has one on their throat, but some people do. And I'd bet you do."

"I still don't understand."

"When I find it, you will."

"You should have selected that girl at dinner last night," I said hurriedly, to distract him.

Dominic growled, glaring at me. "You will not speak of her again. Understand?"

I pouted, but stopped when Dominic pulled me back to him and started to kiss my throat. My fists clenched and I tried to push him away, but he held me tightly.
