I grab his clenched fist. “Rion, even if we aren’t fated mates, I still really care about you. It wouldn’t be over between us. I think they’re right, we need to know the truth.”
He squeezes my hand in his. “We can find out as long as it’s clear that I’ll be here as long as you want me, no matter what happens.”
The hole in my heart left behind when Killian changed me and I believed it was Rion finally heals completely. It’s been slowly closing as we grow closer but hearing that he’s here for me no matter what seals the deal.
Despite having confidence that it wouldn’t change anything, I do hope Rion is my fated mate. I know he struggles with feeling like an outcast among the other guys and if he’s not my mate, that would only add to things.
“Can I?” I ask, gesturing to his neck.
His pupils dilate as he sucks in a breath. “I’ve been dying to feel your fangs in my neck, Acushla. Please do.”
I move forward and press my body against his entirely. He’s too tall for me to reach his neck. Rion must realize my predicament because he grabs me by my thighs and lifts me so we are nose to nose.
“You’re such a small little thing,” Rion teases.
“Maybe you’re too big,” I whisper back.
Of course, the two goons in the room can’t stop themselves from speaking up.
“Wish she would say that to me,” Griffyn says with an exaggerated whisper.
“She’s pumping his ego,” Felix replies snickering.
I keep my eyes on Rion as I say, “If you two can’t behave then you’ll be kicked out.”
They stay silent.
I kiss down Rion’s jaw until I reach his vein and hesitate.
This is the moment of truth. When I bite down I’ll know instantly if Rion was destined to be mine or not. We can’t go back once we know but we can’t move forward until we do.
“It won’t change a thing, Acushla,” Rion whispers reassuringly.
“What does that mean?”
“Darling.”
It comes down to the fact that I trust Rion. This won’t change anything between us so there is no reason to wait.
My fangs sink into his skin and his warm blood floods my mouth. The distinct flavor of apples mixes with an unmistakable tang that I know means he’s my mate.
“You’re my mate,” I pull back long enough to whisper before I move back and drink more.
I swallow his blood and grind my body against his.
Rion’s grip tightens on me.
I need to be closer to him. He should be a part of me.
I feel a pull to connect us.
Rion’s hard cock presses against me and I can feel how much he wants me in return.
“Guys?” Felix’s voice is distant.
The pull gets stronger like the vampire in me knows he needs my blood.
“Fuck I want to taste you,” Rion growls.
