turned on by his gentle but quietly commanding voice. She had never submitted to a human and hadn't submitted even to a vampire in well over a thousand years. Vampire society is all about the hierarchy, about how powerful you are. And vampire sex is full of adventure – if you live thousands of years, you've got to make it interesting. But a strong vampire would never submit to a weaker vampire. The two might have vanilla sex, but if sex goes off into a power exchange then it just isn't possible for a weaker vampire to exert any kind of power over a stronger more powerful vampire. With vampires it's not so much physical strength as it is metaphysical strength, and Kendra was incredibly powerful both physically and metaphysically. She could have her own territory if she wanted it, but she didn't want that. She was happy staying with Abbot and helping him keep his power base intact. If she wasn't under a Master Vampire who led in a way she could respect, then she'd have taken on her own territory in a heartbeat. But she respected Abbot and had no problems with the way he ran his territory. She was proud to be his third in command.
    So why in the hell was she feeling like following this human's instructions? Why was she getting turned on by it? Time to take control.
    Kendra quickly stepped closer to Eric and very quickly but carefully picked him up and then laid him down on the ground, being careful to slow down just before he touched the ground so he went down gently. She did it at full vampire speed, so he'd just sense standing there one moment and then laying on his back the next, without it hurting. She sat on his legs and leaned forward and kissed him. And kept kissing him, with no doubt as to who was controlling the kiss this time. When he reached up with his hands to put them around her she gently but firmly took them and put them on the ground beside his head and held them there. About ten seconds later when she felt him start to resist, she smoothly stood up and reached her hand down to help him up.
    He gave her a wary eye and rolled his body up and was standing all in one motion, deliberately not accepting the offer of her hand to help him up. Once he was up he quietly asked, "You were trying to make a point with that?"
    "Did you enjoy it?"
    He closed his eyes for a second or two and opened them, shaking his head and talking in a nice conversational style, still not upset or flustered in any way. "Oh, this is rich. I begin to wonder if maybe I've met someone I might want to have a relationship with and it turns out she's a Domme. Is that it?"
    "You're telling me you're a Dom, too?"
    He turned away from her to walk towards the trees that the ropes were tied off to. "Yeah, and you seemed to be responding like a natural submissive right up until I found myself flat on my back." He stopped at the first tree and turned to give her a lopsided smile. “You sure you aren't a switch?"
    She returned the lopsided smile. "Positive. You still haven't answered whether you enjoyed it or not. You responded like you did."
    "I kissed you back, the kiss was nice, but being dominated didn't do anything for me."
    Damn, he was telling the truth. She'd picked up the quickened pulse and thought it was lust, but it wasn't, it was just the rush of it, the adrenaline. He'd enjoyed the kiss for the sake of the kiss, but not because of some latent submissive tendency. She didn't smell the kind of lust she'd smell if he was being turned on by her dominance. But, there had been that adrenaline rush, so she tried that angle. "How big of an adrenaline rush do you think you would have under my control? Isn't that what you liked about what I just did? The unknown? You've never had a woman able to lay you down and take control like that. And when I put your arms down, you didn't fight me. Not at first. As soon as you resisted I pulled back and stood up. I'm not into force, I'll only take you if you submit. But if you submit, I guarantee you an
