“Then talk!” I let my irritation show. I want him to think I’m ready to pump him with silver and leave him in unrelenting agony.
“They want to taint the blood. They’re testing different drugs.”
“Taint it with what?”
“I don’t know. I swear!” His fear is evident as he pisses himself.
“Why?”
“So they can be the only ones. The drug ends their immortality. They’ll be the only ones.”
“Who is ‘they?’” The words leave me in a growl.
“I don’t know. We never saw her. She leaves the drugs. All we have to do is get the territory and make the deal with the coven. That’s it, man. That’s the deal. I swear!” Rage bristles through me. It must be vampires in the Authority.
That explains why they made drinking from the vein illegal. It ensures the others will use the blood banks. This is fucked. My thoughts fly to Veronica and what she knows about all this. She did come on behalf of her coven to make a deal with the pack. I shake my head at the thought. There’s no way she could’ve known. I wonder how eager her rulers are to build the bank. And whether they still drink from the vein.
I’m vaguely aware the fucker in front of me is now silent apart from his pathetic sobs.
“Nothing else? Is that all you have to say?” He shakes his head as his body trembles with the fear of his imminent death. Turning to Dom I ask, “You want the honors?” He nods once as he picks up a crowbar that’s hanging on the wall. I walk out, the sound of the shifter’s panic ringing in my ears as I close the door behind me.
Veronica
What is the claiming like? The unspoken question plays on the tip of my tongue as I take a seat in the high-back, black leather chair in the corner of Vince’s room.
Yesterday was nothing more than fun. It was the first time in a long time that I’ve felt alive. Perhaps that could explain why I’m riddled with emotions that pile on top of one another.
“You were right; it ended quickly,” Vince states.
Burying down the unwanted emotions, I nod. “It was much better without me there.” Taking in the modern furniture that’s quite masculine and not at all to my liking, along with his king-sized bed, I comment, “We’ll have to add an addition if you expect me to stay here.”
There’s a darkness of worry that stretches in Vince’s gaze. “I can’t leave my pack.”
“I’m aware, but I can’t store my shoes in your closet, so … addition?” I offer him, again feeling a war brewing inside of me. The air feels lighter even, as if it threatens to dizzy my thoughts. In a quick motion, a flash of a second, I rid myself of my dress.
“We can build on whatever you’d like,” Vince agrees easily, his gaze moving to my bra that I quickly undo and toss in his direction.
“You’re insatiable,” he comments and I ignore it, other than to smirk. I’m not usually, but him … inwardly I remind myself that vampires are not susceptible to the “heat” of a mate’s desire. Yet … I feel this unyielding pull.
“I’d like you to tell me everything about this pack.” In another quick movement, one I’m not certain Vince can even register, I rid myself of my lace garter and panties, leaving myself bared to him. “The coven knows very little … other than the basics filed with the Authority.”
Vince grins back at me. “About your pack, you mean.”
My grip tightens on the armrest. I am his mate. There’s a fluttering in my heart that wasn’t there before.
Cocking my brow, I correct myself. “Yes, my big bad wolf.” I spread my legs, exposing my cunt to him and with a single finger I motion him to come to me. “Let me come on your tongue first and then you’ll tell me everything about my pack.”
His asymmetric grin does something awful to me. It pulls something from deep within and heats my body from head to toe all at once. As he crawls to me, his hulking shoulders flexing and his silver gaze never leaving mine, I feel more vulnerable now than I can ever remember.
His touch is hot as his hand grips the inside of my calves, spreading my legs wider for his broad shoulders. In between kisses up my leg to my inner thigh he tells me, “I’ll get you off.”
Kiss. “And then tell you about our pack.” Kiss. “Our history.” Kiss. “The claiming that will happen tomorrow.” Kiss. “And anything else you want to know.”
My fingers splay through his hair as my head falls back and his lips find my clit. He sucks gently and then his large hands take possession of my hips, pulling me closer to him. My legs wrap around his shoulders as I lean back, getting lost in his touch.
He pulls back, staring at my slick folds, and whispers, “We only have one night together, and then we have forever.”
Forever. My heart stirs in a way it’s not meant to at the word. Before it can take command of my thoughts, Vince devours me and delivers me pleasure like I’ve never felt before.
