Chapter 87

• Sliding to the edge of the counter, I leaned forward and ran my tongue over the blood trickling down his toned chest. The taste didn’t bother me, another thing to ponder. Why? As I gently sucked his life blood into my mouth I felt his tongue licking the cut on my arm. I hadn’t even noticed he’d lifted my arm. All it took was a touch and I was consumed with this man.
• When the cut healed closed, he grasped the back of my head and guided my face to his throat. I needed no further encouragement as I sank my fangs into his flesh. He made a guttural noise in the back of his throat and suddenly his emotions were merged with mine. Desire ignited in a way I’d never felt in my life. Licking across the bite, I lifted my head and looked at his yellow eyes. I needed to know. “Feed from me, let me feel what you do.”
• His hand still rested against the side of my face, his thumb stroking along my jaw. “That will be dangerous, my lovely duchess.” His voice rasped. Holding my look, he lowered his head and brushed light kisses along my jaw and down my throat. My whole body responded to his touch.
