held on as pleasure coursed through my veins, an orgasm rushing through me. I could feel his cock pressing against me, ready for the second part of our exchange. Vampires feed off blood, but they also need the boost they get from sexual energy.
It was also comfort for Daniel. I was languid and happy when Daniel released the vein and flipped us over. He pressed me into the mattress and I sighed as I felt him pull at my undies. They came apart easily and then Daniel was shoving his own slacks down and pressing my legs apart and making a place for himself.
He loomed above me, his eyes finding mine, and I could already see how his skin had warmed. I knew if I’d put my head against his chest, his heart would beat against my ear. There was something satisfying about knowing my blood sustained him. We needed each other in ways most people could never imagine, and that was why even when we were together we felt Dev’s absence.
I shoved aside the thought and concentrated on Daniel. He would need strength tonight. I was sure Myrddin would put him through a lot, anything to make Danny understand how hard he was working.
Daniel had shoved his slacks down enough that he could thrust up inside me, joining us. Despite the fact that I’d already had an orgasm, the minute he was inside me, my body primed for another.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, grateful for these moments when I didn’t have to think about anything but him. My body was warm and happy, my soul briefly content.
I let it all float away as Daniel made love to me. His body nestled against mine as he worked over me. In no time at all I was clutching his back and tightening around him as I came for the second time. Daniel stiffened above me as he joined me in going over the edge.
He fell down on top of me, his weight a delicious burden. I loved being crushed under him and hearing his breath as he came down from the high. His cheek nestled against mine.
“I love you, Z.”
“I love you, too,” I whispered back.
We held on to each other until it was time to go to his office, each of us praying the evening ended with three of us in bed.

“I’ll do it,” Summer said.
Yeah, I knew that wasn’t going to go well. You see, this is another place where I would have sat back and let the queen deal with a bunch of irrational, overly emotional dudes. She was used to it.
But the queen was likely somewhere on the Earth plane freaking out because I wasn’t on the Earth plane. She was probably having to deal with my overly emotional dudes, so I had to handle hers. And the kid.
“You will not allow a vampire to feed off of you.” Dean looked outraged in that way only the very young could be. The early twenties are a time of great righteousness, I’ve found, because you’re old enough to realize the world sucks and should be a better place, but not smart enough to understand that only happens with compromise and tolerance.
“Absolutely not.” Dev Quinn didn’t have the excuse of youth. He was just being an asshole.
“Your mother feeds a vampire every day,” Summer pointed out to her friend who obviously wanted to be more than friends.
“My mother loves my father. He’s a good male. We don’t know anything about this vampire. You know as well as I do that an unattached vampire is a dangerous vampire.” Dean had moved in front of Summer like he could protect her from Marcus. “She is not yours to use.”
He was going to be super fun to mentor. I would be the one teaching him how to fight, and that meant regularly putting the kid on his ass. I would probably enjoy that. Unless he turned out to be a whiner like Casey. “Guys, it’s a little blood. It’s going to make things so much easier. We can’t have Marcus getting antsy on us. You remember how he fucked around in your head? That could get worse if he’s hangry. You won’t like him when he’s hangry.”
He would be the mental equivalent of the Incredible Hulk, and when Marcus was on the angry side, he liked to watch people gut themselves. I needed to avoid that.
“I offered to help him,” Dev said between gritted teeth. “He doesn’t
