We will. First, I need to figure out how to handle this drug drop without putting my mate and teammates in danger.
Sixteen
Rion
I stand in the living room, surrounded by Anna and her mates, all of us eyeing the containers of wev on the coffee table, two days after we received them. The air is tense with uncertainty and apprehension as we discuss our next course of action. The drop is tonight.
“Is there more to this substance than just hurting demons?” Anna asks, her voice laced with concern.
“From what I’ve heard,” Felix chimes in, “Wev can cause a high for other types of supernaturals. But it varies from one species to another.”
“So, we need something that might do that but isn’t harmful to demons?” Anna asks.
We can’t turn the wev over the way it is.
“Could a mage take the harmful effects away?” I ask.
Aksel shakes his head. “Their magic doesn’t work that way.”
“We need to replace the wev,” Anna says again.
“With what?” Aksel asks.
“Human drugs, maybe? There must be some that can cause a high for other types of supernaturals too,” she replies, her voice tinged with uncertainty. My mind races at the possibility, considering the risks and potential benefits of her proposal.
“Human drugs can affect supernaturals, just not as strongly as they affect humans. We are taught that but I don’t know anything about them,” Griffyn says.
Anna claps her hands together. “I’ve got it and I know where you can get some! It’s a leafy drug that humans use and it looks really similar.”
“Let’s give it a shot then,” Aksel agrees, his tone serious and determined. “Anna, tell me where to find the drug, and I’ll go get it.”
As Anna explains the location to Aksel, I wait patiently.
I study her curves, and my mouth waters to have her again. I’ve been horny as hell since I got to have sex with her in the kitchen. I feel insatiable.
Aksel leaves with Felix and I take my chance to steal Anna away before one of her other mates does it.
With a swiftly beating heart, I wrap an arm around her waist and use my supernatural speed to whisk her away, up the stairs, and into my room.
“Rion!” she exclaims as I press her against the wall, trapping her between its cool, hard surface and my eager body. Her eyes widen with surprise, but beneath that shock, there’s something else – desire.
“Sorry,” I breathe, my voice taut with anticipation. “I need this. I need you.”
Our gazes lock.
“Please,” I plead, my fingers digging into her hips as I fight the urge to taste her once again. My entire being aches for her.
“Alright,” she murmurs, her lush lips parting in acquiescence. At her agreement, something inside me snaps,and I surge forward, capturing her mouth in a desperate, heated kiss. Our tongues collide and our breaths mingle in the small space between us.
As our lips move together, I trail one hand up Anna’s side, my fingertips grazing the curve of her breast before I slip it around to the nape of her neck. Gently, I tilt her head to the side, exposing the delicate skin that conceals her lifeblood. The scent of her: sweet, intoxicating, maddening, floods my senses, and I struggle to hold back the beast within.
What am I doing? This is dangerous, indulging in my darkest desires. But the temptation is too strong, and I find myself pressing my lips to her neck, drawing in a slow, deep breath as I savor her essence.
“Rion,” she moans softly, her body trembling against mine.
Instead of giving into my primal urge for her blood, I suck on her skin gently, careful not to break it.
In a swift, unexpected motion, Anna uses her vampire strength to push me down onto the bed. The force of our collision sends a nearby lamp crashing to the floor, shattering into a thousand pieces. The sound of breaking glass barely registers in my mind as I lock eyes with her, the intensity of our connection sending a shiver down my spine.
