He nods. “Thought I had lost you, Del. Never letting you go.”
My hands reach out to touch any part I can reach, a smirk sliding across my face.
“Well, it is a good thing that we are now bonded and tied together forever.”
The cocky smile on his face fades, and I feel the regret and sorrow through the bond.
“Baby, I know you did what you did to save me. So, for my mental state, which is really fucking high leveling right now, can we stop with the regret and sorrow, please?” I grin, showing him that I am not mad at him. If anything, I love him more.
He did something he hates doing to save me; how can I be mad at him for that?
“Told you she would be a badass vampire.” Izzy claps, smiling wide.
“I am so freaking happy that you are okay.” Skyla comes rushing to the bed, pushing Thorin to the side.
“Hey.” He pouts, making us giggle.
“I am all good.” I look to each of the men in the room, who have become my family.
I did not lie to them; my body is not in any pain, I feel pretty damn good.
Thorin sits on the bed next to me, and I pull myself up to a sitting position, leaning against him. He smells so fucking good, and I turn my head into his chest sniffing deeply, making him chuckle.
“You get enough?” He grins.
“Not nearly enough.” His pupils dilate at my meaning, licking his lips, and we stare at each other.
“Okay, she is fine. Now we need to get out of here before they have hot, speedy vampire sex,” Camo calls to the room.
The men laugh, hooting and howling as they leave, also calling out that they are happy that I am okay.
“Speaking of sex…” Camo throws Skyla over his shoulder making her yelp, then giggle.
The door closes behind Camo.
Then we are alone.
Turning at a speed that is new to me, I almost topple off the side of the bed. Thorin catches me, pulling me into his lap. My legs straddle him, his hands finding my bare thighs.
“I need to see all of you,” he murmurs, his voice deep.
Pulling the T-shirt off my body, he leaves me in black cotton panties.
“Did you do this?” I nod down.
“Skyla and myself. We had to clean the blood off you, and you were raging with a fever for a short time. Then everything went still.” I can hear the anguish in his voice, and it makes my chest tight.
Oh, fuck, my heart no longer beats, and it no longer aches.
“Thank you for taking care of me. I know that you hated doing what you did, but you saved me, Thorin. I will be eternally grateful to you for that. You have my respect, my loyalty, my body, and my love, for as long as I am here.”
“Fuck, I love you.” He grips my face, pulling my mouth to his, and he kisses me like I am his last reason to live.
I get lost in the kiss; my arousal is heightened. I rock against his hard cock, beneath his grey sweats, which are hot as fuck by the way. And hide nothing.
“I love you, too.” We kiss more.
Everything seems heightened. His touches feel more intense, kisses feel deeper and sexual, and even sounds around the clubhouse seem louder and clearer. I know I am a new vampire, but it is as if all of my senses have been turned up, and I know that this will take some getting used to.
