Why the hell did I just say that?

His face turns pale, and he looks like he’s been hit by a train. “Excuse me?”

“I didn’t want to say anything until I knew for sure.” I place a hand over my stomach. “I mean, I was so sick after being heldprisoner by Benicio that I hadn’t had my period in a long time. Then you and I had sex, and then I was killed and turned into…you know the rest.”

“But why do you think you’re pregnant?”

I shrug. “It’s just a sense. So I came here to find out if that’s even possible—if there are any records of it happening.”

“A pregnant Blood woman has never happened before, but perhaps…with you being human and pregnant first? I do not know.” Gabrio sits on the cot and stares at the floor.

I can’t believe he’s buying this.

“This will devastate Alwar,” he mutters to himself. “He’s already taken much criticism after telling our people he had me proxy for him to consummate the marriage. He will lose the throne if you are carrying another man’s child.”

“They won’t let him be king of the War People?”

Gabrio shakes his head. “It is one thing for him to have married you, a human, out of necessity for our people. Most understand. But his wife impregnated by his own brother—one who has been ostracized for no longer being a War man—he will not survive the humiliation.”

“Then let’s hope I’m wrong.”

Gabrio stands and starts removing his shirt, exposing his thick muscled arms, bulging pecs, and washboard stomach.

“What are you doing?” I ask.

“I was told you need to eat.”

That was an abrupt change of subject.

I step away from him. “No, Gabrio. I meant what I said before. It’s too dangerous.”

“You might not trust me, but I trust you.” He walks up to me, pressing the front of his body against mine. He feels so hot and smells so sweet.

My mouth waters, and I lick my lips. “But what if I go too far and can’t stop?”

“I have already risked my life for you once. I am not afraid to do it again.” He leans his head down and kisses me. I don’t fight it because I’m way too fixated on the sound of his pulse. It’s like an indulgent song, calling to me.

He pulls away and turns his head, exposing his thick, strong neck with cords of muscles that slope into broad shoulders. “Come on. Do it, Lake. I am not afraid.”

I’m too hungry to resist this time.

I bite down on the nape of his neck, and the bloodlust takes over the moment his warm sweet blood touches my tongue. It slides down my cold throat like a salve for all my problems, and I instantly know I won’t be able to stop. He tastes fucking amazing, way better than I imagined. My rational mind fades away, replaced by something primal. I want to devour him, fuck him, make him mine.

I start tearing at his pants and throw him to the floor. He doesn’t seem to mind one little bit.

CHAPTER EIGHT

I suck Gabrio’s neck and ride his naked body on the stone floor, taking pleasure from the heat of his skin, the taste of this blood, and the feel of him inside me. I have no regard for his life. I only care about my own sinful pleasure. If being bitten by a vampire is addictive, this is a thousand times sweeter.

My entire body hums with a deep carnal need, like it was born to experience every sinful delight this man has to offer—food, sex, his sublimely muscular body and thick cock. My senses are on fire. I’ve never experienced anything so all-consuming.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I hear him speaking, but the sound is overridden by the deep pulse drumming away in his neck, growing faster by the second.

“I’m going to drink you until I come.” Even if it kills him. Don’t care.

“Lake, do not stop. It feels so good.” He grunts with pleasure, and I know it’s because he’s flying high on that cloud of ecstasy only my venom can bring.

I suck harder, his cock sliding in and out, deep inside me. I rock my hips to the rhythm of my mouth as it draws in more of his sweetness.
