Belonging to Him (6 page)
The man scrambled against the bar and tripped all the way to the door. Her would-be rescuer buttoned up his suit jacket, rearranged his sleeves, then looked around the room. Considering he’d just lashed out at a human in front of more than a hundred witnesses, he appeared remarkably calm and collected. Sophie couldn’t help but admire him.
He gestured for the other people to continue and music filled the silence. Dancers began shaking on the dance floor and the barman continued to serve drinks, the drama of moments ago forgotten. Robert took her by the arm, forcing her along the dimly lit corridor away from people—away from witnesses. Sophie could feel the pulse in her throat.
He was angry. She could sense it.
Everyone they passed moved out of their way.
Eyes followed them. She could feel them boring into her back.
Robert Valentine dominated the entire club.
Moments later, he thrust her inside an empty room. At least, she hoped it was empty. The room was dark, with the only light coming from candles. It was small but cosy. A large bed and a cabinet filled the tiny space. The walls were painted black and the silk sheets were a deep shade of red—the colour of blood.
Swallowing past her fear, Sophie looked up at him.
His eyes were black, his body shaking with rage.
Instinctively, she took a step back.
He came forward, mirroring her every move.
“What are you doing here?” Each word was controlled as he spoke.
Sophie would have preferred the anger, the lash of his loud words. This side of him scared her more than anything had scared her in her life.
She looked away from his eyes, down at the black-carpeted floor. This entire club was so clichéd—darkness, danger and bloodshed.
This was the first time Sophie had entered his club but, now, time was of the essence. Whoever was following Katie needed to be stopped.
“I came to dance.” She spoke the words to the carpet. Her heart rate increased as he trapped her against the wall. The bed was less than three feet away.
“You allowed those men to touch you.” He spat the words. “Human men.”
“I’m a human, Robert.”
His fist connected with the wall by her head, making her jump and scream at the same time.
He wouldn’t hurt her. She
knew
he wouldn’t hurt her. She couldn’t explain how, but it was like a natural instinct.
“You’re
my
human.
Mine
.” He growled the words, moments before he slammed his mouth down on hers, taking a kiss from her lips.
The move was unexpected. Sophie stood there, his lips hard against hers. His teeth had extended with his anger and they were biting into her. Yet she responded to his kiss, hands moving to hold him close to her.
She cried out as she tasted her blood on her lips, but Robert was too fast. Moments later her head was pushed to the side, exposing her neck. Sophie screamed as he bit into the delicate column of her neck. Blood rushed from her. She couldn’t believe he was biting her, feeding from her. Three years, and he was taking from her without asking. She couldn’t help a wave of euphoria, misplaced though it was. She knew she was supposed to be feeling angry.
He pushed his lower body against her as he drank her down. She could feel the hot press of him. Sophie suddenly felt so tired. The blood was draining from her. She couldn’t move—she couldn’t do anything but submit to him.
Her last thoughts were of Katie.
No matter what happened, she had to keep Katie safe.
