“No, it’s fine.” I dropped my gaze.

He gripped my chin and tilted my head back so he could look into my eyes. “Please don’t lie to me. Were you planning to go by yourself?”

I sucked in a breath and pressed my lips into a fine line, then nodded.

“What time?”

“After I have dinner at my brother’s. Late… like ten-ish.”

“Then I’ll meet you there.”

“You don’t have to—”

“Obviously I don’t have to, Jacqueline. I’m a vampire. I pretty much do what I want.” As he said that, the shadow of an emotion I couldn’t place crossed over his face, but then he leaned in and pressed his lips against mine and all I could think about was the feel of him.

I reached up and circled my arms around his neck, stretching my body along his.

As he tightened his arms around my waist, his tongue drove into my mouth, deepening the kiss and sending warmth to gather between my legs.

I moaned and Vinny froze.

When I pulled back to look up at him, his eyes were closed and his face was pinched painfully.

“What’s wrong?” I whispered.

“You smell so fucking good.” He opened his eyes and they were damn near glowing red.

I reached up and touched my hair self-consciously. “I haven’t even showered…”

My words trailed off as his eyes flashed brighter red with desire and I registered the hard length now pressing against my lower belly. My cheeks flared with heat in response to that look in his eyes and I realized what he’d meant.

“Oh,” I whispered.

“Yeah.” He smirked. “Oh.” Then in one quick motion, I was tossed onto my back on my childhood bed, his hand cradling my head and his knee between my legs. I gasped but he swallowed the sound with another kiss, deeper and harder this time. Each stroke of his tongue sent fire spreading through my veins. He pressed his knee against my center and I moaned again, but this time he didn’t pull back. The hand not gripping my head reached between us and tugged my nightshirt up, then slipped beneath it to cup my breast. I arched my back and he broke the kiss, dragging his teeth along my jaw, then he licked down the line of my pulse and I shuddered with a mix of fear and need.

“Vinny…” I stopped myself, unsure of what I wanted. To tell him to stop—or beg him to keep going.

His mouth found my breast and closed around it, sucking on my nipple until it ached from the pressure, then he released me and circled the pert tip with his tongue before moving to the other breast and doing the same.

He could bite me now, drink from me without asking, and I’d be unable to do a damn thing about it. I whimpered, because I wanted that more than I should, and my body arched to give him more even as my brain shouted warning after warning.

We were crossing a line. A dangerous, but inevitable line.

The hand gripping the base of my head moved to my throat, his fingers splayed around my neck and his thumb pressing into my pulse. Locking me in place with that firm grip, he kissed a trail down my belly. I moaned as his tongue flicked out to taste me and he made an appreciative sound that twisted my belly into knots. As his openmouthed kisses continued south, his hand moved up to cup my chin, then he brought two fingers to my mouth and pushed them inside. I closed my lips around them and sucked.

He hissed, then murmured my name like a prayer as he pressed his nose against my panties. “I can’t tell you how fucking overwhelming it is to smell this sweet cunt all the time and never get to taste it.”

I moaned around his fingers, bucking my hips as he licked me through the thin barrier of lace. Then he pulled his fingers from my mouth and stretched out on top of me, his elbows positioned on either side of my head. With the weight of his body stretched out over mine, his hard length pressed against my center to create a throb that made my breath stutter in my throat. I opened my legs and rocked my hips to feel more of him and his body went rigid.

When I looked up into his eyes, they were ringed with crimson as they searched mine, something akin to uncertainty creasing his brow.

I reached up and cupped his face. “What’s wrong?”

He ran his tongue along the inside of his bottom lip as he deliberated with himself silently. After a long moment, he finally said, “I won’t bite you.”

“I know.”

“But you should know that I want to.”
