Chapter 33 : I Want You

I reached behind me and turned the lock into place, narrowing my eyes at Jared, who was baring his teeth at me.

“I said get out!” he repeated.

“What is that thing?” I asked, ignoring the urgency in his tone.

I’d just told him I wasn’t afraid. I hadn’t been afraid of him the night after the ball, but this was a little different. I suddenly wondered if the intensity of our coupling had more to do with this power of his, this curse, than his own desires.

He was standing with his legs apart, his body firmly rooted as he tried to reign that shadow of power back in. I could see the desperation in his eyes, maybe even a flicker of pain as his jaw clenched, his eyes still fixed firmly on mine.

“My powers,” he said after a moment. “My… dark powers. I’m losing control of them because of the curse.”

“What does it feel like?” I asked, running my fingertips over the footboard of the bed as I walked toward him. He backed away from me, shaking his head.

“Eliza, stop,” he commanded.

“What does it want right now?” I asked, coming to a stop a few feet away from him.

Jared ran his tongue along the inside of his lower lip, narrowing his eyes at me in a way that sent a burst of heat down my spine.

“You,” he said, almost casually.

I pursed my lips, trying to look unaffected even though my blood was hammering in my ears. I thought of Lena and Xander for a moment, wondering if Xander’s power, his shadow, or whatever they called this thing, made Xander behave like this.

The Xander I’d known was poised and polite, not a rough-and-tumble outlaw like Jared. But Xander also wasn’t cursed.

“I’m flattered,” I said lightly, blinking up at him.

“Take this seriously, please,” he said through gritted teeth. “I can’t control this thing like I used to be able to–”

“What is it, exactly?”

“Just a… pulse, something within me that should be in balance with my wolf, but it’s not… not anymore, not since you showed up.”

“Me? How is this my fault? I thought you said–”

“The curse,” he panted, running his fingers through his hair, “is taking my wolf powers from me. Every day they get less and less. That shadow? It’s stronger than ever and it’s tearing at my soul with each passing day. But when I’m with you? It wants… out. It wants you. I don’t know what that means–”

“So, it likes me?” I teased, but Jared wasn’t in the mood, not at all.

“It’s not some entity–Eliza, listen to me, please. That night in my study when I pushed you against the desk? These powers just… took control. It took every ounce of my willpower to reign it in.”

“After the ball?”
