“Take off the bra,” he said. “But don’t turn around.”

I stood with my back to him and unhooked the bra. I was still looking over my shoulder, watching his gaze. I couldn’t help but get wet as I saw him stroking himself. The sight of his hand fisting his dick over and over made me want to climb him.

“Now the panties.”

I turned so I was facing away from him. I bent, tugging down my panties. They were added to the pile of clothing, and then I stood back up and kicked everything away. Almost immediately, he was standing behind me, rubbing his dick against my ass. He was still fully clothed aside from his cock, so it was a strange sensation.

I could feel his clothes, but I could feel his skin, too.

I wanted him.

I knew he wanted me, too.

I knew that he needed this just as much as I did. The Vampire Lord had a lot on his plate. His life was wild and chaotic and incredible. He was always busy, always needed, and always forced to take care of other people. When we were together, it was a chance for him to just forget about everything else. When we were entwined, he didn’t need to worry about protecting the world.

He pushed me onto the floor and, just as I wanted, he mounted me. He didn’t hold back. He started thrusting hard and fast immediately, and I started to cry out. He grabbed my mouth, covering it with his hand, and then he sank deeper inside of me.

“Someone could see,” he hissed, and I was perfectly aware of this. It made me more wet, more excited. I liked that he was acknowledging this fact.

Anyone could see.

“If someone walks by, they’ll see me fucking your tight little pussy, Juliet. They’ll see my cock sliding inside of you. They’ll see how much you like this. You love having vampire cock inside of you, don’t you?”

I growled, nodding my head, but I still couldn’t speak. His grip on me was too tight, and I was pinned down as he fucked me over and over. Finally, he released my mouth so he could use that hand to rub between my legs. He teased me, pushing me to the edge

of orgasm. My hair was to one side, which meant part of my neck was bare. Just as I was about to climax, I felt his lips there. His fangs pierced my skin, and he bit me, sucking my blood.

My body’s reaction was instant.

I came so hard for him that I felt like I was going to pass out. He was no longer covering my mouth, so I did cry out. I groaned his name, growling and crying and begging for him to stop and keep going at the same time. He came, too, and then he collapsed on top of me, spent and exhausted. He rolled to his side and stroked my hair for a moment. We both laid on the ground, entwined in front of the fireplace. I looked over at him and smiled. He made me feel so many wonderful things.

Then we heard someone clearing their throat.

“If you don’t mind,” Ida whispered. “There’s a problem.”

Colin

THE TONE OF HER VOICE let me know that the problem was very real indeed. Juliet started scrambling for her clothes. She’d come apart for me so beautifully that I couldn’t quite believe it had actually happened. I got dressed a little more slowly, looking at Ida while I did.

“What happened?”

“There was an attack at the hospital,” she said.

“An attack?” Juliet asked, looking up sharply.

“An administrator called us right before she...” Ida stopped talking, and we both looked over at Juliet. She had paled.

“Before she what?”

“She’s dead,” Ida said.

“Who was she?”

“She said her name was Clarissa,” Ida told us. “She called during the break-in. Apparently, a bunch of rogue vamps that nobody has ever seen before stormed the hospital.” The look on Ida’s face told me everything I needed to know. It had been nasty. It had also come at a horrible time.

“Norman’s goons,” I growled. Damn it all to hell! What the hell was he playing at? I knew what he was trying to do. I knew that he was playing at. He’d come here acting like this was some sort of peace offering for humans and vampires, but the truth was so much worse. I knew without a doubt that my brother must have been behind the recent attacks and the missing blood.
