Oh, yeah. No problem here.
“Don’t,” he said tightly, grasping my hips before I could manage to arrange things properly. Which was a bit of a disappointment, but then I realized that delicious throat was unprotected. I went in for the kill.
Well, not literally; I even made sure not to use fangs. And after the first bite, it was really more of a sucking motion, because I liked the way it vibrated under my mouth when I—
Hard fingers dug into my hips and that was more like it.
“Dory, please.”
Or maybe not. I paused to look up at him. “Give me one good reason why not.”
“Any moment, you are going to remember. And once I begin to pleasure you, I do not intend to be interrupted.”
I frowned, and sat back. “Remember what?”
And then it hit me.
“That,” he said sardonically, as I stared down at him.
For a long moment, I didn’t say anything. And then I tried hopping up, intending to make for the door because I’d really lost it this time, and I didn’t need to be around people when—
Louis-Cesare tackled me.
My back hit mattress, and my front hit vampire, or I guess he hit me, because he landed on top. “You’re not crazy,” he told me, as I fought, and kicked and bit—
And ended up immobilized with my arms over my head and hot, satiny muscles sliding along—
Okay, that was unfair.
“Not crazy, huh?” I demanded, as he deliberately slowed down. And started kissing my neck.
“Mmm.”
“Then why do I think I just got appointed senator?”
“Possibly because you did.”
“Now you’re just as crazy as I am,” I told him, as those lips slid lower.
“No. I am sure of it. I am on the Senate, too. They require that we know these things.”
“And I require that you stop being an ass! What the hell?”
He looked up from licking his way around a nipple. “Do you see why I did not wish to start this?”
“Just tell me.”
He rested his chin on my sternum and smiled slightly. “It is true. Extraordinary, I grant you, but then, these are extraordinary times. And the consul was not pleased at the reaction of most of the masters who had come to vie for the open Senate positions. This is a wartime Senate; it needs warriors. Yet, when it came down to it, it was as she said. Few were willing to put their lives on the line without certainty of reward.”
“Yes, but…I’m dhampir. I’m not even a person in vampire law!” Why was I the only one who seemed to get this?
“You are not. But your father was able to successfully argue that Dorina is. And since you are inseparable…”
“Dorina.” I stopped, and felt my skin go cold. “That’s it, isn’t it? They want her and her mental abilities.”
He nodded. “They are rare and, based on Lawrence’s fate, it would appear that you have inherited much of your father’s skill.”
“Then…are they going to try to bring her out?” I gripped his arms. “Are they going to try to—”
