I chuckled. “Since I’m half of the two people you’re talking about, it makes perfect sense, ’mara. It’s what’s supposed to happen with Mates. Once we’re bonded, it’ll be a more seamless loop.”

She pushed herself up on one arm, looking down at me inquisitively.

“What does it mean to be bonded, really?”

I couldn’t stop touching her. “It’s as serious as it sounds, a lifetime commitment. Our minds and bodies will forever be attuned to one another. Right now, we can catch each other’s thoughts and feelings because we’re physically touching and in close proximity. But for bonded Mates, they’re able to communicate—what’s the word—‘telepathically’? Yes, I guess that’s it. They can communicate telepathically even if they’re Stars apart.”

Her eyes were round like saucers. “Wow, so it really is a superpower. But that’s not what I wanted to know.”

“What is it? You can ask me anything.”

“How do you bond, you know, as a Fanger?”

My fingers thrummed over the pulse at her neck and goose bumps broke over her skin. “You would wear my marks here. Always.”

“Would you want to drink my blood all the time?”

I felt my fangs press against my lip as I smiled at her innocent question. “No, ’mara. Sharing blood is a sacred rite, not something we do often. When we bond, however, my fangs will produce a clear liquid that will tie you to me.”

Her fingers rose to my lips. “All right. But how will I tie you to me? I don’t have this...clear liquid. I don’t have fangs.”

“I don’t have all the answers, but if we were to bond, I would start by giving you a drop of my blood.”

“Just one?” she asked, her index finger softly tracing my fangs.

Her pupils had dilated, drowning the dark brown of her irises.

I nodded, parting my lips to slide her finger into my mouth. She gasped lightly, her own lips parting as I suckled the single digit.

So sexy.

I smiled around her finger, letting her know I’d heard her little comment.

“Cedra?” she asked as she withdrew her finger with a soft pop. She trailed a wet path down my neck.

“Hmm?”

“May I take your clothes off? Please?”

Gods, when she asked so nicely, how could I say no?
