My orgasm is building, tightening in my ass. “My Melissa.”

She twists her hips, and her inner muscles hug my cock. I’m right there. “Shit,” I cough as the blinding pleasure explodes through me. I’m coming hard, bucking over and over.

A little cry comes from her lips, and I know I’m gripping her ass too tight. I try to relax my fingers, but I can’t. I’m riding out an enormous wave of pleasure and satisfaction.

My gums burn, but my fangs are held firmly in place. I won’t bite her—as much as I crave that crack-orgasm, I’m only just learning the extent of my control over my vampire nature. I’ve spent the last several months studying everything I can find about myself, as well as doing everything in my power to track down the red-haired old one.

Eyes shut, I’m coming down from heaven, when I register tiny kisses, soft lips peppering my shoulders, moving up to my neck. Blinking my eyes open, I’m hit with such a wave of emotion. Melissa gazes at me with so much love, I have to drop my head against her neck.

“I did it,” I whisper against her skin. “I made love to you. I fucking ascended to heaven, and you’re still alive.”

I’m holding her so tight, it takes me a moment to realize she’s laughing. I’m holding her, and her entire body is shuddering with happiness. My head pops up, and I smile when I see her beautiful face.

“What’s so funny?”

Slim hands cup my cheeks, and she lifts slightly to kiss my nose. “I’ve waited for you so long. You’re here… and I’m still alive.”

Again she laughs, and I can’t help joining her. “You have no idea how tempting you are to me.”

“Mmm.” A naughty gleam fills her sapphire eyes. “I think I might.”

“That, for instance.” I can’t resist covering her mouth, pushing her lips apart and finding her tongue, curling mine around it. Closing my eyes as I savor her taste, her softness. It’s another little piece of heaven.

When I pull up, her eyes remain closed, and she’s breathing fast. I grin down at her, waiting. She stays that way a moment longer, and I chuckle. “You still with me?”

Her eyes blink open, and she stares at the ceiling. “I’m not sure,” she whispers. “When you kiss me like that…”

Reaching out, I touch her full bottom lip with my thumb. So beautiful. We lie back, and her dark hair ripples over the pillow. I move my hand down, lifting a gentle curl and allowing it to wrap around my fingers. She scoots around in the bed so we’re facing each other, and warmth spills over in my chest. In my vampire state, every emotion is heightened, and this right here is as good as it gets.

“Does this mean you’ll stay with me now?” Her face seems to glow in the dim light.

“I don’t know how I’ll ever leave you again.” They’re the truest words I’ve ever spoken.

“What changed your mind? Making love just now?”

That makes me smile. “Making love to you only cemented my decision.” I take a deep breath and tell her. “I killed several powerful vampires before the change. I’ve killed a few since. If Patrick hadn’t alerted me Lilith was in the area… I don’t want to think what might have happened.”

She shivers and scoots forward, into my chest. I wrap my arms around her, loving the feel of her body against mine. I’m holding the back of her head, sliding my palm down the length of her back, to the curve of her ass. Gorgeous.

“For the first time, I confess. I was glad I’m a vampire tonight.”

A ball of ice is in my stomach when I recall my partner’s text. Something’s here. Something powerful. It’s after Melissa. I didn’t pause to consider what that meant. I walked out of the building and started to run. One of the advantages of being on foot, being able to run without growing tired, I cut a straight line down and was here before the demon had a chance to hurt my love.

She moves back a bit so she can see my face. “Patrick knew she was here?”

Touching her soft cheek, I nod. “The word has leaked out. My weakness is now common knowledge.” I’m not sure how to say it without frightening her.

Her small hand touches my cheek. “What’s common knowledge?”

It’s no use. I simply say it. “How much I love you.”

Tears glisten in her beautiful eyes. She blinks several times, and I notice
