His nose landed on her neck where the fragrance of her blood was strongest. He groaned and his cock jerked. He’d barely been doing anything and he was worked up to the tipping point.
Sweet Goddess.

Emily was grateful she was tipsy from the wine. It helped her not to care so much that Devyn was being a pain in the ass about Kyle. She needed to love him and love on him and use his body and play with him. Touching him right now had become everything.
Her head had cleared a little, which was a good thing. She didn’t want to miss any part of this time with him.
His mouth was already making sucking motions on her neck. But like hell she was going to let him get away with a quick draw then leave once more in another cloud of guilt.
The way she saw it, circumstances outside her control had brought Devyn to her home. He wouldn’t be here otherwise. So, in her mind this could still be the last time she’d ever get a chance to be with him. For all his fine qualities, he was a stubborn vampire.
She pushed at him. “I have an idea.”
He drew back to look at her. Though he was frowning, he gave her room to move out from under him. She levitated then turned midair to land on his back. Not bad for a woman who’d had half a liter of wine less than an hour ago.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking what I want.” She might as well be up front. She stretched out on top of him, her front to his back, and felt him relax beneath her on the bed.
“Don’t think,” she added.
He chuckled softy which caused her to bounce a little. She loved it. “How well you know me,” he said.
“You’re here with me, for whatever reason, and I want this time with you. Are you gonna let me have it?”
“Oh, I’m going to let you have it.”
She chuckled again. She couldn’t help herself. Devyn didn’t joke often. She took it as a good sign. It also sounded like, at least for this moment, he’d accepted the inevitable.
She pressed her arms against his shoulders and hugged him. She savored the warmth of his big masculine body. She wiggled to feel every part of him, his strong back against her breasts, the soft yet muscular shape of his ass, the backs of thighs. She even rubbed her feet over his ankles.
When he spread out his arms, she did the same, laying hers on top of his. “I love you, Dev. Always have. Always will.”
She felt him take a deep breath and release a heavy sigh. Her body rose and fell with his.
She smiled as she asked, “But do you know what I’d really like right now?”
“What?”
“It was something I used to fantasize about doing with you, but I’m not sure you’ll want any part of it.”
“Okay, now I’m intrigued.” He lifted up a little and craned his neck to look at her.
She took a moment to remove the woven clasp that held his long Guardsman hair away from his face during battle. She tossed it in the direction of his coat. She smoothed out his hair. “I want to be on my knees, on the bed, and I want you to take me from behind. But I want you feeding from me at the same time. Is that something you can see yourself doing?”
He growled softly and the tips of his fangs showed. His mating frequency suddenly dove inside her chest and made a trip around her own frequency. She gasped at the sensation. “I take that as a yes?”
“It is.”
She moved away from him so he could switch positions. Once levitating above him, however, he reached for her and pulled her down on the bed. She squealed and laughed as he flipped her over, then guided her to a soft landing on her stomach. She loved being man-handled like this. Even when he was rough, the damn vampire had a light touch she loved.
She lifted up on her knees immediately and arched her back. He was directly behind her and took a moment to massage her bottom. “You are so beautiful, Em. Every bit of you.”
She couldn’t believe how comfortable she was with him. In some ways, it was as though they’d been lovers forever.
He leaned over her and pushed her hair away from her neck. He kissed her below the ear. “Thank you for this.”
