against hers, and she can feel his tongue against hers. She swooned with the pleasure of having him hold her so close, so tightly, his arms wrapped around her with such a ferocious need while his mouth devoured hers.

“Briony,” he whispered against her lips. “I want you so bad it hurts. But I have to fight it al the time when I’m with you. I can’t help wanting your blood,” at that Briony pul ed away, her eyes widened. “But I’ve channeled it so that I want something else more instead.” He kissed her again passionately, letting his tongue slip in to taste her. Then his mouth was on her cheeks, her jawline and then her neck where Briony could feel a slight prickling. Fal on’s fangs had extended, and she stiffened against him.

“Relax, Briony,” Fal on said, rubbing her back to ease her tension. “I won’t bite you, although it would add to your pleasure. I’ve learned to control myself as much as I can around you with the biting, but I’m having a hard time control ing how much more I want, Briony.” His voice grew hoarse and thick. “It can make us sensual creatures, Briony.

Every time I want your blood, for example, I just remind myself of how much I would rather have you. ”

Briony felt herself start to blush. “I suppose it’s better than wanting to drain me dry.”

“Yes,” Fal on chuckled deeply, then his eyelids lowered, and his eyes smoldered with his desire. Briony could see how much he was struggling to keep control. He pul ed her to him firmly and lifted her so she was straddling his hips and his head disappeared under her shirt, where he was trailing his tongue against her bare stomach, gently and slowly making his way up.

Her eyes closed in the unbelievable pleasure he was creating with his tongue against her skin. She felt her stomach flutter, and started pul ing him in tighter with her legs. She heard a moan, and didn’t realize it was hers until Fal on’s face was against hers, and his mouth had captured hers in a deep kiss. “Oh, Fal on…” she sighed. “I want…”

He silenced her with another kiss. Then she felt his hands unclasping her bra and making their way to the front.

She started to pul back, but found Fal on’s hold on her tight. She pul ed back again. “Wait, Fal on. I… this is too fast for me.” When he final y let her go, his expression was ful of regret.

“I wish you wouldn’t pul away from me, Briony. I want you now, more than anything,” his fangs were ful y elongated now. “I know you must think the same way about me.”

“Fal on, please…”

“Tel me, Briony. Tel me that you don’t want to take things further.”

“I’m not ready for it.”

Fal on’s expression twisted for an instant. “I bet if it was Kevin standing here, you wouldn’t be saying that.”

“Fal on, stop this.” Briony said. “Nothing has happened

between

me

and

Kevin,

and

you’re

embarrassing me, doing this.”

“We wouldn’t want that, of course.” Fal on stopped himself, standing there with his eyes shut for several seconds. “I’m sorry, Briony, but I can’t do this. Being here to look after George was a mistake. I can’t be around you like this and not want you physical y, too. I already love you so much it hurts, and then…”

“Don’t say it,” Briony warned. “I love you, Fal on, but I can’t right now…not when I have feelings for Kevin, too.”

“Then why should I hang around waiting for you to make a choice?” He said, clearly hurt.

“Fal on, I do care for you… “

“But you want Kevin instead, is that it? You want his body more than mine… Briony, if you give me a chance, as a vampire, I can give you the most unbelievable pleasure.

You’d forget about Kevin…”

“But I don’t want to forget him. And that’s not the point, Fal on.” Briony took a deep breath. Her body stil wanted him and wanted to continue where they left off, but… “I can’t. Not until I’m sure.”

Fal on’s face looked like it was slapped. “What?

What can you not be sure about Briony? That I love you?

Because you can know right now… I do. I would risk my life for you, and I have. And I thought.” His voice broke off, and he looked away. “That you loved me too. At least I thought you did.”

“Fal on…” Briony started to say, wanting to run to him so he could
