Which resulted in Jason taking full advantage
of me, and I couldn’t think about anything
else.
The phone ringing was ruining the mood, and
Jason scowled.
My eyes were still unfocused, and my breath
came in hot gasps.
Carter kept calling, but when I didn’t answer,
he started sending me messages.
[You’ve got some nerve not answering my
calls?】
【Summer Lane, where the hell did you go?
Get your ass back here now!]
【I already told my parents I was bringing you
home for Christmas, can you please act like
you have some sense?】
【Come back now, and I’ll forgive you.】
Jason leaned down and whispered in my ear.
“Summer, can I block him?”
I felt a little dizzy, remembering that Carter
would never have been so respectful.
He would have just ripped my phone away
and deleted all the guys from my contact list,
even my professors.
And that was why I failed a class.
Seeing that I wasn’t responding, Jason gave
me a meaningful look.
“It’s kind of loud, and I don’t want it to affect
my… concentration.
99
As if he meant that this was going to affect
my feeding, I wouldn’t have that!
Chapter 2
I immediately snatched the phone from his
hand and blocked all of Carter’s contacts
myself..
Jason smiled, kissing my earlobe. “You’re the best, Summer.’
“”
We were all loved up, while Carter was about
to lose it.
He was sitting on the couch with a face like
thunder, his smashed phone screen filled with
red exclamation points.
Bethany took his hands in hers, speaking
gently.
“Calm down, Carter. Let’s just enjoy
Christmas.”
“We can go find Summer together after the holidays. I’ll apologize to her.”
She looked away, eyes brimming with tears,
acting all innocent.
Carter couldn’t stand to see her like that,
reaching out to touch her face.
“None of this is your fault. She’s just narrow-
minded and always overthinking things.”
“If I hadn’t told my parents I was bringing her
home, I would have dumped her a long time
ago.”
Bethany snuggled against his hand, saying
softly, “Don’t worry, Carter. I’ll take care of
99
your parents.
st
Carter mumbled something in response, but
his attention wasn’t on her.
His eyes were fixed on the broken phone, as
if he’d just had an idea.
As it got dark, Jason started making dinner.
He usually just threw something together for
himself at Christmas, but this year was
different. I was here.
I was wearing his big, black shirt, which made
my skin look even paler.
The marks he’d left on me were impossible to
miss, turning me into a straight-up
seductress.
“You don’t have to do this. Succubi don’t
really get much out of human food.”
What we craved was pure, concentrated life
energy, which was like a superfood for us.
I never thought that the guy I’d stumbled
across would turn out to be a virgin.
Even though I’d been out of it that night, I still
remembered that feeling.
I barely had time to process it before I
realized how incredibly lucky I was.
“Summer, I want to do this for you.”
Jason in an apron? That was enough to make
me feel hot.
He could tell what I was thinking, smirking.
“First, we eat dinner. Then, we eat something else. Okay?”
We succubi were born to be obsessed with
hot guys…
After giving myself that little pep talk, I
nodded eagerly.
Okay? More than okay.
The table was a disaster.
I sat on the marble countertop, complaining
that it was too cold. Jason reached out to
hold me in place.
We were making out when Jason’s front door
was kicked open with brute force.
Carter stormed in, his eyes bloodshot, like an
animal blinded by rage.
“You bitch! You dare cheat on me?!”
“If I hadn’t installed a tracker on your phone, I
wouldn’t have known you were here screwing
another guy!”
