Vicky’s nails scoured his back as her fangsrested against his vein. Still, she hesitated, afraid he wouldshove her away or regret his decision later.
“Do it,” he snarled in a nearlyunrecognizable voice.
Unable to resist any longer, she sank herfangs into his vein. She sighed when his powerful blood landed onher tongue and slid down her throat. Losing the last of herrestraint, she rode him with abandon as Nathan filled all theemptiness of her soul. He was her mate, and sharing this with himwas far better than anything she’d ever imagined.
There was no doubt she was utterly doomed,and she didn’t care as her body fractured apart, and she cameharder than she ever had in her life.
Nathan pressed her shaking body flushagainst his. He’d always assumed a vampire bite would bring onlypain, but euphoria seeped through him until every part of him wasawash in the joy Vicky emanated. When she orgasmed with a cry, henearly gave in and spilled his seed into her, but he’d promised tomake her beg, and he meant to uphold that promise.
Small contractions from her sheath continuedto grip his cock when she slumped against him and retracted herfangs from his neck. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself towithdraw from her and stepped back to gaze down at her languidbody. She smiled, but when she reached for him, he caught her handand brought her knuckles to his mouth. He kissed them beforelifting her and spinning her around.
Vicky gasped at the abrupt movement. She’dbeen about to curl up in his arms and purr like a satisfied cat,and now she was facing the living room. Her hands fell on top ofthe half wall when Nathan pulled her hips back and spread her legswith his thigh.
His hands ran over her firm ass, tracing theround contours before stepping between her legs again. Resting hishand on her back, he pushed her further down until she was betterpositioned to him. He grasped his shaft, and guiding it inside heronce more, he reclaimed her.
Running his hand over her back, Nathanwatched her body moving fluidly against his, her erotic soundsmaking his blood pump faster. She’d been born forhim, andhe realized not only was he leaving his mark on her, but she wasleaving hers on every part of him.
Nathan slipped his arm under her and claspedone of her breasts. He circled his thumb around her nipple beforereleasing it to grip her throat loosely in his hand. The need to domore than leave his scent and touch on every inch of her flesh grewwithin him, but he didn’t know what else to do.
Vicky cried out when he plunged into heragain and again, each thrust becoming fiercer than the last.
Guiding her head up, Nathan rested his lipsagainst her ear. His other hand wrapped around to her front toslide down her belly and between her legs. She squirmed against himwhen he teased her clit while he thrust into her.
When his fingers tightened on her throat,Vicky tensed. She didn’t tense because his grip was uncomfortable,or she was scared of him, but she’d never allowed a man to dominatesex for her. She wasn’t used to this, but she thrilled at it.
Vicky quaked as his tongue ran across herear before tracing the column of her neck. His teeth scraped thehollow of her shoulder.
Nathan ran on instinct alone when he bit hershoulder. The bite had been natural, a mark on her, but somethingwas missing from it. Confusion filled him as he tried to figure outwhat that was. Then, he realized he wanted to bite until her fleshbroke and her blood filled his mouth.
His mouth watered at the thought of tastingher, but at the same time, a part of him recoiled from the idea ofinjuring her. The desire to drink her blood didn’t repulse him;instead, it made him snarl with need.
Vicky nearly screamed when his teeth lockedonto her shoulder, and his possession of her body became moreanimalistic. After her time in captivity, she’d sworn no one wouldbite her again, but she wanted this.
Lifting her hand, she grasped the back ofhis head and pressed his mouth against his bite. “Harder.”
His teeth clamped down more forcefully, butstill not enough.
“Harder, Nathan,” she pleaded. “Fucking…harder!”
He bit down until pain radiated out from themark, but ecstasy rolled forth to bury it when he broke the skinand her blood flowed free. The primal sound he released nearlypushed her over the edge as he locked her against him while heconsumed her blood in greedy pulls.
He didn’t understand it, and he was too fargone in Vicky to figure it out, but Vicky’s blood was the mostnourishing thing he’d ever tasted and made him feel whole for thefirst time in his life.
“Please,” Vicky whimpered as she squirmedagainst him. She didn’t realize she was begging until he releasedhis bite and whispered in her ear.
“I love to hear you beg. Please, what? Stopor continue?”
“Don’t stop, but I need… I need—”
“This,” Nathan said as he released his gripon her throat and lifted his wrist to her lips. Vicky didn’thesitate; she sank her fangs into it as he bit her shoulderagain.
When she came this time, the muscles of hersheath contracted around him until Nathan couldn’t hold his releaseback. For the first time in his life, he was unable to stop himselffrom spilling his seed inside another. Hunters had a difficult timeconceiving children, it was why they were married as soon as theyreached maturity, but he’d always been careful before.
Now, he didn’t even think about trying tostop himself from marking her further as his.

“What does this mean?” he asked her as hesat cross-legged on the air mattress in his old room. His hand fellon the imprint of his teeth on her shoulder. The wound had almostcompletely healed earlier, but he’d been compelled to reopen it andsee his bite on her.
