Nee followed my line of sight and I noticed her smile in my periphery as we both watched the couple. “Pretty much. It’s anything goes.”

As soon as she said that, he reached for the woman’s wrist and sank his fangs into her skin. Dark red slid down her arm as he sucked at her pulse point. My stomach tensed when he pulled back and licked the trail of blood.

My skin heated and I looked away, locking eyes with a man sitting alone on the lounge next to them. He was in dark jeans and a long sleeved tee but the sleeves were pushed up his forearms. His big body was expanded with his arms extended across the back of the sofa and his feet spaced shoulder width apart, making him appear sexy and kingly. We watched each other, fully aware that we had one another’s attention. He tilted his head, smiled, then lifted from his spot.

I followed his sexy, unhurried movement as he crossed to the other side and entered, making eye contact once more before he pulled open one of the wooden doors and disappeared behind it. He left it open a few inches, which felt like a silent invitation.

And shit, I wanted to accept.

“Girl, that was about as subtle as a flashing light saying join me.”

“I’m not doing that.”

“Yes you are. There’s no judgment in here, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t. These people don’t know you or give a damn about what goes on in there. Hell, they’re out here fucking in plain sight.”

“This shit is wild,” I said, glancing around again.

“A little but that’s the best part. The rooms are for whatever you want. Only what you agree to. You can just go in to see what it’s about and leave or you can stay and have a little fun.” She smiled smugly. “I damn sure plan to and with him.” She pointed to a man at the other end of the bar, clearly locked in on us, or rather, her.

“Uri, go have fun. That man was sweating you real bad and he’s sexy as hell. Don’t go home with regrets because I’m not.” She blew me a kiss and eased off the stool, heading to the end of the bar. I turned and glanced at the door once more before I said fuck it and decided to go with the flow.

I walked to the room, paused briefly, and walked in. It was darker than the main area but I could still see a leather sofa on one side, a small bar in the corner, and an armchair where my mystery guy sat. His eyes were on me as soon as I entered the room.

“You’re nervous.” His deep voice flowed smoothly, causing my stomach to tighten.

“I don’t really know how all this works.”

And I don’t trust you or this…

“Close the door and I’ll show you, but if it makes you more comfortable, you can leave it open. I’m cool either way.”

He lifted a hand and motioned toward the dark wood behind me. Last thing I wanted was someone walking in to see whatever the hell I was about to do, so I turned and pushed the door closed. At least I would hear it open if someone else entered the room.

“Come here.”

My fool ass did as he asked and stopped between his legs. Seeing him up close was so much better. Dark brown skin, fresh fade, low set eyes, and full lips. He was a big guy, solid but lean in stature, not bulky, and he smelled good. His fine ass had a cocky grin in place as his gaze moved up my thighs to my face.

“Nothing happens unless you want it to. You want to talk, I’m cool with that. You want to fuck, we can do that too. And just so we’re clear, I damn sure hope that’s what you want.” He smiled smugly as one hand lifted, gripped the back of my thigh, and guided me closer. The heat of his palm on my skin had my stomach tensing and my pussy thumping.

Can he hear that? They have supersonic hearing, Uri. Use your damn brain.

Shit, he can for sure hear my girl going wild between my thighs. This man knows I’m horny as hell which was why he said that.

“Whatever happens in here is fully consensual. You want me to stop for any reason at all, I stop. No questions asked, no hard feelings.”

I nodded while he held my gaze.

“Okay.”

“If you let me feed from you, you’ll feel it, but it won’t be painful. Most people describe it as…” He paused and his head angled to the side as an arrogant but sexy smile teased his lips. “Warmth, pleasurable, like a rush. I’ll make sure you feel good but you have to agree before we take it there. I don’t want to taste your fear. It’s better for me when you want it just as much as I do.”

Well fuck…

“Oh…okay. I want it.”

What the hell am I saying?

Drink my blood and fuck me, that’s what you’re saying, hoe.
