Page 89 of Bound By Blood
When her fangsgrazed his bottom lip again, she drew a bead of blood with it. Thescent and taste of it on her lips nearly sent Caro reeling into amadness she didn’t understand.
She was as wild ashe’d been when he first came down on top of her, and her suddenhunger demanded she tastemoreof him. However, she’d neverfed from another vampire.
It wasn’tsomething one did without permission, and while she fed on a few ofher human lovers, it was different. She’d taken the memory of itfrom them afterward, but she couldn’t do that with Saber.
Torn between thisnew, ravaging thirst and the growing tension in her body as hepushed her toward another orgasm, Caro tipped her head back as shefought her body’s demand for his blood. It was strange to be tornbetween ecstasy and thirst, but those sensations battled each otheruntil she almost screamed from their warring natures.
When Caro’s eyesmet his again, they were a vivid red, and her fangs cut into herbottom lip. Two small trails of blood trickled down her chin.Unable to resist, Saber licked the blood away as he kissed heragain.
The second herblood hit his tongue, power shot through him along with a strangesense of finally coming home. She washis,and he would haveher ineverypossible way.
Breaking the kiss,he left a trail of them across her cheek and down her throat, wherehe rested his mouth over the rapid beat of her heart. That pulseand the smell of her locked him in a trap he couldn’t break awayfrom, but he’d happily remain imprisoned by her for eternity ifnecessary.
When Saber’s fangshovered over her pulse but he didn’t bite, Caro couldn’t take itanymore as the hunger radiating from him inflamed hers. Unable toresist, she lowered her mouth to his shoulder and bit.
She didn’t stop tothink she’d bit a vampire without their permission. Taking hisblood was as instinctual to her as breathing.
And what amazingblood it was. It tasted as delicious as the man smelled.
Strength from theimmense power his blood possessed seeped through her body andflooded her veins. She felt like she could become Superman and leapa building in a single bound as it became a part of her.
She’d never tastedanyone this delicious and powerful before. She hadn’t known thisambrosia could exist, but here it was, andtheyweretogether.
Her bite on himended Saber’s hesitation about tasting her. Unable to resist anylonger, he buried his fangs in her throat. As her blood filled hismouth and inundated him with power, he fucked deeper and harderthan ever before.
Caro clung to himas something unseen enveloped and grew between them. It drew themcloser together while joining them in inexplicable ways.
It was as if ahole had opened in her mind. His pleasure mingled with hers as histhoughts coalesced through the bond tightening around them.
This unexpectedglimpse into Saber’s mind should have frightened her; it didn’t. Hewas probably experiencing the same thing from her, and she didn’tcare. She wanted more of it.
She had only asecond to think about what this meant before an explosive orgasmripped through her. Caro screamed against his shoulder as her mindand body spun out of control.
She’d stoppedbelonging only to herself; she was a part of him too. And they werejoined forever as she finally understood what had built betweenthem and what they’d unleashed… the mate bond.
When her sheathclenched around his cock, Saber buried himself inside her againbefore pulling out and finding his release. He’d nearly lost itcompletely, but he retained enough control to know that a baby wasnot an option right now for him or his…
Saber hugged heragainst his chest as he turned to the side and collapsed on thebed—my mate.
CHAPTER 70
Nestled in hisarms, Caro slept curled against his side. Her hair tickled his chinand nose while her pliant body was exactly where it was supposed tobe, in his arms.
Mate.
It wasn’tsomething he ever expected to find and certainly wasn’t somethinghe deserved, but he would never let her go. Maybe they should havethought about completing the bond before it happened, but there wasno stopping what passed between them.
Once this ball wasset in motion, it would roll down the hill, taking out anyone whogot in its way. And he wouldn’t have stopped it even if hecould.
She was now boundto a selfish, murderous bastard, which was how it would stay. Shewashis. And he wouldn’t let anything change that.
A horde of demonscouldn’t take her from him. He’d slaughter every one of them ifthey dared to try; he hoped she knew it.
They hadn’t talkedabout what happened before she fell asleep, but he was certain sheunderstood what had passed between them tonight. Her parents weremated; she would know about the bonding process and that theirjoining could never be broken.
They would have tonavigate this new development together, but he wouldn’t accept ortolerate it if she tried to push him away. He suspected that wouldbe easier said than done. Caro was willful; she wouldn’t bendeasily to his will, but he would keep her safe, and she would dowhatever he deemed necessary for her survival.
She murmuredsomething in her sleep before settling down again. Unable toresist, Saber brushed the hair back from her delicate face toadmire the beautiful contours of her cheeks. Her long, black lashescast shadows over her cheeks.
