She awoke to hands on her body. Slow, stroking fingers that pushed up her shirt and skated over her stomach. Gentle. So gentle.
Her lashes lifted. Darkness surrounded her, but she could see so well.
See him.
Healed now. Not even a scar to mar his face or the bare skin of his arms. Simon leaned over her with his eyes intent and his fangs gleaming.
Dee reached up and touched his chest. “I dreamed about you.” Yes, vampires dreamed. Or, in her case, had nightmares.
She’d seen flames burning Simon’s body. Killing him.
He’d walked through the fire for her. Whatever agenda the guy was working, he’d sacrificed for her, again.
His gaze held hers. His fingers were a warm weight against her. No aches troubled her body. No pains. Healed, just as he was.
But…hungry.
The bloodlust was rising again.
She’ll drink from any fool she wants. Drink, drain, and fuck—and you’ll be just as screwed as before.
No, Leo had been wrong about her. She would have control and she would have Simon. “Stop risking death for me,” Dee groused and the words stuck in her throat.
A sad smile twisted his lips. “Don’t you understand? I’d risk any damn thing for you.”
He kissed her. Still gentle. Still soft.
And the hunger grew.
Her hands clamped around his shoulders, and she pulled him closer.
His tongue thrust into her mouth. She moaned, eager, and arched toward him. Taste.
His hands eased up, sliding under the shirt that still covered her breasts. His fingers skimmed over her bra. Over the nipples that were pebbled and hard and thrusting up against the cotton.
She could smell her own need in the air. Feel him all around her.
Simon’s head lifted. “I want your throat.”
Drink.
Asking, not taking. The lust was there. It brimmed in the eyes gone black. For vamps, blood was about power, control, life.
In Simon’s eyes, she just saw need. The same stark need that she knew would be reflected in her own gaze. Dee tipped back her head.
Should have been repulsed. Horrified. Even with what she was?—
His teeth scraped over her neck.
Her sex clenched.
Should have been afraid.
His teeth pierced her flesh. Her nails dug into his skin. “Simon!” A bolt of pleasure shot straight to her core. Her belly quivered, her knees shook, and she wanted. Dee’s hands pushed between them. Fumbled with the snap of his jeans. She needed more. So much more.
Her hands shoved inside his jeans, and she found his cock. Fully erect. Thick. So hot to the touch.
