“So, if you have any former-whore-turned-promiscuous-vampire tricks you’ve been holding back, bring them on,” Cat continued, her gaze slanting with challenge. “But, you’d better outperform any service you gave to Annetteoranyone else, because if I don’t wake up tomorrow red in the face from embarrassment over what you did to me, I’ll be disappointed.”
Bones stared, barely able to believe what she’d just said even though her words had set his blood on fire.
“No you don’t, you clever little bitch,” Annette muttered before snatching the door open.
Bones rose from his crouch in front of Cat. Annette’s golden gaze was nearly frenzied with desperation as she looked at him, and then behind him at Cat.
“We have business to sort out, you and I,” Bones said, letting an arc of his rage slice into Annette through their tie. “Later,” he emphasized, and slammed Annette out of the room and his emotions.
Cat’s breath caught as he turned back to her. She was still seated on the edge of the bed, but her color was higher, and her pulse throbbed at the hollow of her neck. She’d meant her decadent dare, but now that he’d accepted it, she clearly didn’t know what to expect.
Oh, he’d show her, and she would absolutely love it.
“Trying to hang my knickers around your neck?” he asked in a lower, silkier voice.
She cleared her throat. “You don’t wear any.”
No, he didn’t, and she’d soon lose hers, too.
He took her hands, enjoying her anticipatory twitches as he pulled her to her feet. Then, he leaned down, letting his words fall against her cheek. “I should assure you that in bed you have nothing to prove to me, or that I’ve never enjoyed making love to anyone more, and I will.Later, because only a fool passes up what you just offered me. Now, I am short on some props, and one night isn’t nearly enough time to run through all the ways I’ve fantasized about taking you, but I promise you this,” his lips grazed her skin, “you’ll be scandalized in the morning when you can think again.”

Bones unbuttoned his shirt, letting the fabric slide over his skin in a leisurely caress as he drew it off. Cat watched, her gaze caressing him, too. Her breathing accelerated when he tore the sleeves free and fastened them over her eyes in a makeshift blindfold.
I love how you look at me,Kitten,but right now, all I want you to do is feel.
She shivered as he led her to the bed and removed her clothing with the same sensual leisure. Then, he doffed his trousers and tore off each leg before tying her wrists to the bed frame with the lengths of fabric. He would have preferred using silk on her lovely skin, but as he’d said, he was short on props.
“Don’t fight them,” he said when she gave an experimental tug on the restraints. “They’re not strong enough to hold you. Relax, and let me work.”
She smiled at that, but it was clear from how she jumped at every sound that she was disconcerted at being tied naked and blindfolded to a bed. Thus, Bones was quick as he collected a few items from the bathroom before he returned to her. Even still, he had to take a moment to admire her satiny skin contrasting like moonbeams against the dark blanket, and her lush body trembling in anticipation.
He could barely keep from falling on her in a lustful rush, but he had a promise to fulfill, so before he released any of his control, she would loseallof hers.
Bones slid onto the bed, touching her with light strokes that mimicked the feathers he would have used, if he’d had them. After that, he grazed her skin with his mouth, staying above her waist to heighten her anticipation, and only allowing himself the barest suction on each full, lovely breast.
Her nipples hardened as if begging him to draw deeply on them. He didn’t comply until her breathing came in gasps and her scent richened with mounting desire. He teased her nipples with his fangs, grazing the peaks with increasing frequency, until her moans were edged with nervous excitement.
Oh, yes,he thought, filling his fangs with venom.I’m going to do everything you think I am, and so much more…
“I want to touch you,” she breathed out, straining against her ties.
He didn’t move his mouth, but he grasped her wrists before she could pull herself free. “Later.”
She drew in a breath to argue. That breath exploded out of her in a rapturous cry when Bones’s fangs pierced her nipple and his venom filled it. At the same time, her blood coated his tongue, hot and sweet. He groaned, swallowing it before closing the holes with a bead of his own blood. Then, he sucked on the taut peak, the pressure maximizing the effects of his bite.
She cried out in sensual surprise that turned to shivering expectation as he switched to her other breast.
“Your heart is thundering in my ears, but you won’t fret long,” he murmured. “I’m going to knock the fear right out of you, Kitten.”
With that, his fangs sank into her other nipple. Another cry tore from her while the heat in her center practically scorched his thigh. He wanted to bury his mouth there next, but he forced himself to move higher, not lower. He’d have her burning from the inside out before he allowed himself to taste her.
After Bones closed the new holes, he slid his mouth from her breast to her wrist. Once there, he only allowed himself a moment to savor the rapid beats from her pulse before he pierced the tender spot. Blood filled his mouth like liquid candy before he closed those holes, too, and moved to her other wrist.
Cat pushed it against his mouth before his fangs even touched her skin, moaning with demand.
He laughed, low and knowing. “That’s the juice from my fangs filling you with all that delicious heat. If you were human, I wouldn’t dare bite you more. Too much venom would drug you, but you’re not human, so I can do this…”
