Selene's eyes flicked between their natural hazel and a vamped out electric blue in quick succession.
"Michael, I will not be used in this manner." Her expression was one of angry incredulity.
Her blond lover shook his head with a placating smile - he knew it would lessen the blow of his words - as he reached to touch her pale face. She was all his and what he wanted from her would prove just how much he appreciated that fact.
"Please. I know you're not into modern dating rituals, but, please?" His thumb brushed her cheek in pulse with his heartbeat. "It would let me show others your beauty. Every man has to have his moment to boast."
She studied him critically for a moment before finally relenting. "One movie, Michael." She stipulated. "At night and no 'chick flicks', I refuse to be debased in such company."
Michael pulled her face close and kissed her deeply. He pulled back after a moment, his eyes twinkling in delight. "Thank you."
The hybrid knew how much this had hurt her pride. The vampire woman had become used to being in control and had long mastered the strength and no-nonsense realism that were required. Michael would make sure she enjoyed the night.
