I knew it was a ruse to lure me in, fool me into believing I was safe so that I’d let my guard down.

I shook my head, my voice coming out with more confidence than I felt. “No, I haven’t.”

He took a seat on the bed and patted the space beside him. I moved forward with hesitance, taking a seat beside him.

“In order for this to work, we must feed on one another at the same time. You will feel a sensation, like a drug, as the new blood—the new power—courses through your body and takes root. Though, it only lasts for a short period of time.”

Long, pale fingers extended toward me, brushing strands of red hair from my face and tucking them behind my ear. His face grew closer as he did so, and his breath tickled my skin when he whispered, “That’s better.”

“As per the Black Hole rules, you are prohibited from using the powers on another being,” he said, matter-of-factly. His voice lowered, and his eyes flashed with heat when he suggestively added, “Though, I don’t mind you using your powers with me in this room.”

A shudder crawled down my spine, settling low. He gestured to my neck and told me to tilt my head back so he could feed from me. But before he bit into my flesh, he asked where I’d like to feed from him.

“I don’t have sharp enough teeth to pierce your skin,” I answered.

He flashed me his fangs and bit down on his finger, a single drop of blood pooling to the surface. “I want you to suck here.” Of course, I wasn’t too quick to grab his hand and start sucking, which he must’ve realized, as he warned me, “Blood sharing is an intensely satisfying experience. You will get much pleasure from it.”

As if that were supposed to help.

He didn’t wait for me to speak before he wrapped his hand around the back of my neck and angled my face so he could dive in, piercing into me with his fangs as he shoved his finger into my mouth.

I gagged and tried to spit it out, but he wouldn’t allow me the luxury, and it wasn’t until I was choking before he retracted his long finger. He pulled away from my neck and gripped my chin roughly, insisting I play nice, or I would be punished.

I nodded, and he slipped it back in, returning to his spot on my neck—his fangs going into the same holes he’d made the first time—but he paused before he began to suck, waiting for me to follow his orders. As requested, I sucked on his finger, and when he was satisfied with my reaction, he resumed feasting.

After a moment, a weird sensation came over me, warming my body from the inside out. I was filled with a new power entirely; unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

Strength. Desire. Allure.

They were all emotions I’d felt, but never so intensely. It was like my soul had been placed into a new body that was shaped and formed like my old one, but with a potency I could’ve never imagined.

I felt like I could pound my fist through the wall and not even feel it. Like I could rip someone’s heart from their chest in one clean sweep. Aside from the power, there was something else… I’d heard sharing powers was comparable to an aphrodisiac, but I never thought it’d be something I would experience.

Time seemed to blend, indecipherable as to whether I’d been in that room for minutes, hours, or even years.

When he finally pulled away and released his finger from my mouth, he gasped. Laughter escaped him as he fought to catch his breath.

“I’ve never felt power like yours,” he said, his voice breathless and lively, a grin curling onto his thin, red lips. “It’s intoxicating—more so than I’d ever felt. Like a human, but also a witch. A blend of perfection, the best of both worlds. I can see everything in such contrast. Colors.”

His eyes stared ahead, dragging their way toward my gaze. He huffed an amused laugh. “I can see your emotions. You’re frightened and repulsed, but also filled with lust.”

Averting my gaze, I turned away. It was no use, he could read my aura even without seeing my face, but I couldn’t face him. Not while my body was trembling from both the intoxication and fear.

“I want more,” he demanded, jerking my head to face him.

“No. You got your end of the bargain, so I’m leaving.”

I stood from the bed, and in a flash, he was blocking the door, a glint in his eye like a predator seeking their prey, watching from the bushes and waiting to pounce.

“You’re not going anywhere.” His fangs protruded from his gums, snarling and waiting—to drain me of my powers for his own sick gain.

In a swift motion, he pinned my arms to the wall, trapping me against his body as he sunk his teeth in once more.

Oh, no, brother. In this day and age, we ask for consent.

I kicked him in the crotch, using all the strength I possessed to knock him down. The newfound—and temporary—power I’d obtained was still coursing through me, and after the hard kick, I pushed him away, slamming him into the opposite wall.

Well, he said he didn’t mind me using his powers in this room.

“You little bitch,” he said, lurching forward, but I quickly dodged his attack and peeled out of that room, taking off around the corner and down the hall.

He caught up, snatching me by the hair and holding me up until my feet left the ground and I was dangling; the shooting pain pounded through my head from his tightened grip on my hair.

“You’re going to regret doing that,” he said, his eyes now fully red, his teeth bared and dripping with blood.
