"Gideon" Anwyn’s soft voice was a stripe of fire through his htened, deter to hurl his last , he knew he’d be the one cleaning it up Daegan was giving hi the cell to take the weapons away Gideon forced hireen eyes were vivid like a tropical sea again, his blood still on her lips Her hair tumbled over her breasts, but he could see the firainst the T-shirt in her restrained position, the hint of the nipples With the cotton hiked up, she was all long, creaetting the same fused but not completely healed look of the other wounds Despite that, chained, helpless, she was sote around her like an irresistible perfuht now Maybe she was right Maybe one male wasn’t any better than another But only soh to act on such vile ideas He wasn’t one of thean had coaze toward her was co You won’t be able to stop yourself And he obviously does not have any desire to be a donor I will arrange for that when it is ti himself He should defend himself, however he needs to do it" Anwyn drew a deep breath, closing her eyes For a longher body to relax,muscle, despite the quivers and jerks she couldn’t control The frustrated whiut It took a while, though, and he forced hi still so as not to distract her

When at last she spoke, her voice was calm, oddly detached, as if the past few moments hadn’t occurred "Funny When you bind a sub, arched Begging for a Mistress’s attention, or a Master’s" She opened her eyes, looked toward Daegan "But like this, unwilling, the mind is in control So you have to make decisions If your feet are free, do you cross them at the ankle, spread them out to relieve pressure on the lower back? Clasp the uess however’s coet hair out of her eyes, she hit the back of her head on the stone with another wincing thud, though she didn’t see to itch, right?"

Da, Gideon nized that instantaneous flick of attention fro in her blood, nizant of anydown his unreasoning anger at her, his justified guilt at hiht at all

He readjusted the T-shirt, sliding it back down over her hips As he did, his fingers er there, but he didn’t He pushed her hair carefully froht hold up better"

She licked her lips, discovered the blood was causing the itch there She sed,at it Unsure as guiding hi noise, he took her chin, used his thuue Anatched him, her eyes so preternaturally focused He could sense the coth and violence churning like a whirlpool

"You’re hungry and I’ you the blood," he said softly "There’s no reason to take Willing subht? That’s what you crave It’s so an’s indrahisper of breath, a reaction to his rash act, but Daegan himself had planted the seed, hadn’t he?You will be less of a threat You subly allowed anyone, even Jacob, to feed directly from him The two vampires that had captured hih his blood was poisoned by their saliva The desire to scour himself internally had persisted for days

Yet this was different She hadn’t volunteered for this She needed hian providing her another donor Maybe fro hi her feed off someone else Vampires preferred their donors to be those who suited their sexual orientation, so a straight female vampire would prefer males

It was ludicrous, since he’d known her for a couple days, and her va possessiveYeah, I’, too" Aned She kept her eyes on Gideon’s, though, not shifting to the wound her flared nostrils detected so keenly

"All right" Putting his ar his other behind her back to steady hi it to the outside of her hip so he could drop down a few inches, bring the shoulder within coe of her mouth Her bound ar toward Heaven, so he reached out to the end of it, linked his fingers with hers

This wasa sheep’s stoan had said it was chemical, that there was no way she could control herself But he’d never been as sut most days, and dumb luck so far had helped him survive his missteps

Today, he had help froan had stepped close, his hands sliding under Gideon’s ar hian was ready to pull Gideon away if needed Functional, but also a strange reassurance to it, a steadying force behind the touch

His gut aside, he’d been pissed by Daegan’s comment that he would refuse to be a donor He’d donated blood for his brother when it was needed, albeit not straight from the vein But he wasn’t so much of a bastard that he couldn’t look past his own squeaesture of trust, he could tell her that he believed things were going to work out for her God knew, he’d been in situations where everything had gone to hell in a handbasket The right word at the right ti that told hi, even if it had corip on her hand, he encouraged her to get started before he changed hisGideon’s cheek, herhis neck where it h she’d ripped it in the back when she bit hiht to expose the bite area, his fingers grazing bare skin The brief, startling brush of the h Gideon’shim Hell, he’d never let a vamp touch him this much, but it was necessary Whatever else the creature was, Gideon didn’t doubt his devotion to Anwyn

He couldn’t help tensing a little, though, when Anwyn fastened her s Just her tongue, licking at the wound, tasting hi only on a way to soothe her, but noas reminded of other side effects that ca her uise the pressure of breasts against his chest, the nipples a noticeable difference in the soft give of her flesh Her bare thigh brushed the inside of his Glancing down to distract hi curves of bone beneath her pale skin

Her an had known, like many women, she could draw reassurance and comfort from her lover’s sree in his line of work, and knew he practically had a Gerht now, it wasn’t an advantage, because the unique male smell, mixed with the scent of Anwyn’s skin, wasn’t as unaffecting as it should have been

Daegan had registered the spike in his tension when she’d put her an to rub Gideon’s hard shoulderthere, andit to keep Gideon calm for Anwyn’s benefit, Gideon didn’t like it He twitched, an unspoken e to the vampire to cut it out The erotic heat of Anwyn’s ave both of the to let his cock get hard over Daegan Rei’s touch, even if it was just incidental to hers

Anwynup the side of his neck, where the artery pulsed even harder Daegan paused Gideon wondered if he should pull back, but froht be interpreted by her newlyto run So he stayed where he was as her breath teased the flesh directly beneath his ear Then she wasthat bone, her lips dragging along his skin

Da hard, and the fact her nipples were tightening even further wasn’t helping

Yeah, she was getting aroused No surprise there, because vamps stayed horny about 120 percent of the ti fountain of pheromones

He didn’t like the sound of that crude word in his head, though, not applied to Anwyn Maybe he’d done it to distance hi he was positioned between a fledgling vampire who could tear out his throat and a vampire who could dice hi his nails with the blade, before the last piece hit the floor

When she found his o with it She had his blood on her tongue, but she opened wide, encouraged hi fro into her, he let her feel his arousal against her thigh He hter to hi through his own vocal cords
