I didn’t even fucking hear him behind me. Christ, I need to concentrate on my surroundings, especially since there might be hunters out.

He comes to a stop in front of me and smirks.“It’s dangerous to walk out at night; don’t know what’s creeping around in the shadows.”

I scoff and cross my arms. “I can handle anything hiding in the shadows, besides aren’t you a more dangerous beast than some mugger?”

“Exactly, so can you handle me?” That grin on his face makes me want to punch him, but I try not to let my emotions get the better of me, especially not when he can see.

“I’m pretty sure I can put you on your ass, even if you are a beast; now if you don’t mind. I’m tired and pissed off,” I say, side-stepping him, but he grabs my arm and pulls me hard towards his chest.

Worn leather, Scotch, and motor oil - God, he smells like I’d allow him to rip my clothes off right fucking now. The scent of a biker and sexy as hell.

“Wanna make good on that threat?” he asks with that ever-present grin. “Or are you scared that you might like it?”

I chuckle and it sounds like I’m being choked out. “I could never like… what you do to me…” I trail off when his face moves closer to mine. He tilts his head as if he’s about to kiss me, but instead he draws my bottom lip in between his teeth and pulls gently.

“Hmm, you don’t have to admit anything, because your scent is a fucking traitor,” he whispers in a husky tone. “Then again, your scent may be vanilla, but I know you’re anything but. Am I right, Hellcat?”

My heart is sitting in my throat with this crazy proximity and when I look into his eyes, I notice the light flecks of gold in his brown eyes. It makes him seem almost human as if he’s not a beast who kills first, and then asks questions later.

I smirk when I see the uncertainty there and move my head closer to his ear. “Wouldn’t you like to find out?”

He laughs, a low throaty sound that’s just as sexy as it is dangerous; then he slips his arm around my waist and cups my ass in his massive hand. “I’ll get you on your knees one day, Hellcat,”

“Is that a promise?” I shoot back, the tension between the two of us making my head spin, but he seems to like the fact that I haven’t given in yet. His dick is thick and hard, pressing up against my belly and I know I would fucking love going on my knees for him. But not today; I’m going to make him beg for it.

“Oh, you can bet this sweet ass that it is,” he says, squeezing my ass harder.

I chuckle, taking his face in my hand and shaking my head. “Not if I get you there first, Beast,” I say, stepping back from him and walking away.

I feel his eyes burning into the back of my head, and I’m painfully aware of every inch of my body calling out and wanting me to throw myself at his feet. But I can’t - not yet, at least. Church has just turned this into a game, and since I’m the gambling type, I’ll take him up on that wager.

I’ll make him beg for me, that’s a fucking promise.

My entire body is on fire, but I find myself unable to move or call out. My mouth hurts, and my gums feel like I’ve chewed on too much Doritos and got shards stuck in them. With heavy eyelids, I drift off to sleep, but a few hours later something claws at my stomach and I wake up.

Hunger – soul-splitting hunger.

“What the fuck are you doing, little lamb?” Gabriel’s voice interrupts my chewing and I peer up at him while chewing at the leftover pizza in the fridge. I’ve had six slices, but nothing is stopping this fucking feeling.

“I’m hungry,” I say, shaking my head. “I’ve eaten so much already but I’m still fucking hungry! My mouth hurts, my body aches as if I have a hectic flu, and my head feels like it’s about to explode! What’s wrong with me?! And why the fuck am I so emotional?!”

He sighs and walks over to me, taking the pizza from my fingers and planting me on the counter top. Then he wipes my tears away and kisses my forehead. “Here,” he tilts his head to the side. “Drink from me.”

“What?!” I call out. “Why would that… what…?” I trail off when last night’s events hit me all at once. The shower, the teasing, the spanking, Gabriel sinking his teeth into my neck, telling me he loves me…

Oh my fucking God, I’m a vampire now.

Gabriel frowns, then chuckles while gripping my thighs. “Did you forget our Entwining, little lamb? Do you want me to remind you?”

“No, you horn dog! It slipped my mind!”

“Luckily, it didn’t slip your mind and you walked out of the front door. The sun hasn’t set yet.” He says, pulling me closer to him. “Drink from me for now; I’ll show you how to hunt later or, if you prefer, we can get you some blood bags.”

The thought of drinking from another person sends a shiver of disgust down my spine, and I shake my head. “Blood bags,”

“Are you sure? Drinking from the source is so much better.”
