Those words touched him deep. Fang sat up underneath her, pulled her close, then sank his teeth into her skin.
Aimee let out a small cry of dismay as her own teeth elongated. She felt her powers soaring as their blood was mingled. Brushing his hair back from his shoulder, she bit him.
The room around her swam as every sense she had sharpened and burned. In that one instant, she could feel Fang's heartbeat as if it were her own. The two of them were truly united.
Forever.
They would never again have to live without each other. It was the greatest gift.
And the ultimate curse.
But she would have it no other way.
Locked together, they came in unison. Aimee pressed her cheek to Fang's as he held her close and she listened to his heartbeat slowing.
"I swore I would never bond to anyone," Fang whispered in her ear. "I thought only fools did this."
"And now?"
His dark gaze locked with hers. "I'm the happiest fool on the planet."
She kissed him then and couldn't agree more. She too was the happiest fool on the planet.
