16.You are just like them.

**Eve**

Eve flinched, her back hitting the door, as she caught the dark undertone laced in his voice. At first, his words sounded like an invitation. When a mischievous grin slowly appeared on his lips, it suddenly seemed more like a dare. Her knees felt weak, but she kept pretending that his words hadn't affected her. Despite the visible fear in her eyes, she straightened her back and looked up, right into his eyes.

"What, the Hell, is that supposed to mean?" She leaned her head a bit, raising an eyebrow in question. Eve and Eros stared at each other for a while; the room's atmosphere grew tense enough to cut it with a dull knife. At one point, she felt as if the silence was choking her.

"It's a pity to hear such bad words coming from that cute mouth of yours," Eros spoke, breaking the silence. Eve's eyes widened in surprise. What has gotten into him?

"Don't start with me now; I'm not in the mood to play your games, Eros. Or should I call you Azra? If I do, will you treat me with more respect, or will you keep looking down at me, acting as if I was a little child?" Eve snarled at him, unable to contain her emotions. She didn't feel hurt or offended, yet there was a weird feeling, forming in her chest.

"Not in the mood, huh?" Eros laughed, showing off his extended canines, looking nothing like human.

"I wonder why," step by step, he neared Eve, his gaze burning her skin, making her flinch away. Like a chased wild animal, she tried to hide away from him, ending up in a corner. "Is it because I took the opportunity to escape, away from you?" He now stood right in front of her, looking down with so much anger and hatred, Eve became genuinely terrified.

"W-what?" she barely spits out the question. Eve's thoughts rushed; she was fully aware that he had gotten her right where he wanted. Once again, she was trapped, and had no way out. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before something genuinely awful happened.

"Not so angry anymore? It's funny; I thought you'd try to lie, cover up your plan, or save yourself. Instead, you blindly followed my lead and ended up locked up, in my property, with a chance of escape close to zero. Now tell me, how does it feel? How does the complete loss of control feel, Eve?" Eros spoke coldly, spitting her name as if it was the deadliest venom. Eve, confused beyond limits, decided to stay quiet. She would rather stay mute than risk saying anything to anger the beast more. She turned her face away, breaking their eye contact. Eros growled; the terrifying sound was soon followed by his fist, knocking a hole in the wall next to Eve's head. He grabbed her chin and forced their eyes to meet, breathing heavily.

"How dare you. The things I've given up for you, the things I had to sacrifice, and the people who turned their back on me- because I chose you!" Eve shivered like a leaf under the autumn wind, fighting the tears away. The feeling of safety long gone. She squeezed her eyes shut, imagining herself anywhere, far away from him. Eros didn't hesitate to show off his anger, demanding that she opened her eyes and look at him. Only when he calmed down a little, did Eve comply with the shifter.

"I thought my demons were almost defeated, but you... You had to take their side and pull them to freedom, didn't you?" He lowered his head to her neck, inhaling her scent, his hands traveling to her waist, pulling her closer. "How am I still not enough?" he whispered against her skin, unwillingly enjoying the shivers which travelled over her skin. She was mute, not a single word left her lips, yet Eros didn't care. The longer he spoke, the longer she kept quiet, making Eros and Ares deeply irritated. In him, the beast became restless, hurt by the apparent betrayal, deeply disappointed with her silence. If only Eve would open her mouth and explain her intentions, if only she would try to prove that their mother was wrong in the first place. Eros kept inhaling her scent, finding the smell of her fear addictive.

"You smell so good," he murmured against her skin, squeezing Eve's body tighter. She didn't know yet, but the only thing this beast was terrified of was losing her.

"P-please, let go of me," Eve whispered, her voice sounded hoarse, probably because of the dry throat, even though talking hurt, she didn't care. All she wanted was a distance to be between their bodies.

"Why should I? You'll run," Eros didn't let go of her, quite the opposite, it felt as if he was digging his fingers into her skin with greater force.

"No, just please."
He ignored her pleas, pushing his erection against her stomach.
"See, that's what you do to me. You have no idea how aroused your fear makes me feel, how much I want you," his words echoed in Eve's mind. She tried to squirm against his tight hold. No matter how hard she tried to fight back; she couldn't escape the beast. Eve bit her lip, finally letting the tears stream down her cheeks. She couldn't fight, even if she tried, she would fail miserably. She had no chance against the mighty creature. A thought crossed her mind, making the human girl even more scared. Maybe she has to accept whatever he was going to do to her and her body. Perhaps, if she didn’t fight back, he would do the thing and let her be. Even though the thought of losing her virginity like this hurt her, Eve couldn't think of a better way out. At least, she wouldn't end up dead or beaten. Probably.

"I want to taste you," Eros whispered in her ear, seductively. He bit onto her earlobe and slid his hands down on her ass, squeezing it tightly. Eve took a deep breath, against all survival instincts, she whispered: "Then kiss me." He didn't react for a moment, just stared at her with the most conflicted look in his eyes she had ever seen. Then, he started laughing.

"Kiss? That's not what I meant," his eyes travelled over her body, millions of thoughts, of what he could do to her crossed his mind. His dick pressed against his jeans, making him groan. He understood how big of a risk it would be completing the mating with her, but at this point, he didn't care. Whatever common sense he had, was lost. Now, he needed to fulfil his fantasies, to make sure that she's rightfully his and will never have a chance to even think of leaving him. He loved Eve deeply, no matter how much he didn't know about the human. She was his true mate, and he would love her, with or without her content.

"What do you mean?" Her eyes finally met his, a deep frown on her face. Eros bit his lip and placed his knee between her legs, lifting her tiny body. He reached for his belt, undoing it quickly and leaving it open.

"You have no idea what I'm talking about right now, huh?" He smirked, officially done with the lies. If she did have that boyfriend, she does know what's on his mind. There is no way she's still a virgin, the thought itself pissed him off even more. Eve shook her head from side to side.

"Well then, let me show you," Eros smiled, sliding his hand into her pants, cupping her sex.

"Here. This is where I want to taste you, Eve," he leaned closer to her mark and nibbled on it gently, enjoying how her body melted in his hands. Eros had done a lot of awful things during his lifetime, and even more of them for someone's respect. He had seen so many on their knees, begging for forgiveness and their lives. But no one, from those cases, was close to the feeling of power, Eve gave him. Whenever her body responded to his touch, Eros felt as if he was on top of the world.

"What are you going to do?" Eve asked, grabbing onto his shoulders.

"I am going to mate you, Eve. I'm going to make sure that you never leave, and if you do- I'll find you fast enough, to bring you back home." He said against her neck, his hand still in her panties, almost sending him into overdrive, as Eros noticed how wet Eve had become from a mere touch and a few words. He smirked.

"What?" The woman tried to fight him off again, ignoring her previous plan. Eros kept her steady, knee still between their legs, bodies dangerously close. With one quick movement, his hand landed on her neck, holding her into place, gently.

"I am going to mate you, meaning- I'll fuck you, until you will be too weak to think or breathe. I'll show you how much of an animal I can be, burying my dick so deep down in that pussy; you won't be able to take more, even if you wanted to. No matter how hard you cry, or how loud you scream, I'll hold you down and fuck you as rough as I want to, even if it hurts. Then, I'll sink my canines in your flesh, again, right at the moment, when I'll cum- mixing our scents, making you mine forever." Eros breathed heavily, his arousal grew within seconds, just thinking of the scenario he had given Eve. She looked at him with disgust and fear in her eyes, unable to determine which emotion had become more potent, while listening to his words.

"I was right; you are just like them- a monster," she spat in his face, hiding all fear deep down. Eve had to be strong.

"That's right, baby, a monster. A monster who's about to bury his dick in that pussy of yours." He winked at her and grabbed onto her hips. Eros threw Eve over his shoulder, carrying the human to his bedroom.
