" Ach, lass, I canna fight ye Do as ye will" His voice inside my head probably meant I’d won this skir, his fangs dragging across my swollen lips until I pulled back My mouth wandered over his battle-scarred terrain, every nook and cranny so achingly familiar I licked away the salt from his sweatslicked body and watched hie When I finally sat astrideVa This had to end If only--He jerked hts until there was only taste, touch and the need to push toward satisfaction I sat up and tossed , too replete to doin the sharp, sweet essence we had created between us
Jerry whispered inside s a man won’t actually say to a woman That he needed me, that I pleased him as no other woman could, that… wait a minute Other woman? The hell with it I’d had otherAnd I sure wasn’t going to let a little, okay, a lot of jealousy spoil some of the best sex ofhim that he would always have a special place inti each other, until the vamp awareness that daasn’t that far away made me move off of him I kissed his lips, firm noith the displeasure he didn’t bother to hide Yep, I was disobeying ain I hated that and the fact that he never see but a slow learner in all other aspects of his life But with ot dressed, but Jerry didn’t try to stop me or offer false words of co So I could just deal with it We were both quiet and I, for one, was sad that separation see down the stairs when the front door opened Varim He hates rejection Not that I’d rejected him, just his plans for how I should live, happy vampire Handsome as the devil too, dressed in a black silk shirt open to the waist and sli to smile "Gloriana, this is Damian Sabatini The owner of this castle" Damian took my hand and pulled it to his lips He actually brushed it with a fang and I shivered Whoa In the vampire world this was considered a major pass Did Damian have a death wish? But Blade was stone-faced Of course he hadn’t missed the intimacy orjealous beast? He wouldn’t Not after I’d just declared ain
I smiled at Damian "Please, call me Glory I love your house"
"Thank you You must come back for my Halloween costu anything Pouting? Seething? I couldn’t complain I’d made my choice So it had left my stomach in knots and a hole in my heart I’d learn to live with it
"Are you sure you won’t keep the car?"
Ah, Jerry the vampire speaks In a cold, clipped voice that masked what I sensed was his hurt Yes, I do know hih to know that this too, would pass I couldn’t iine he’d ever walk away froene of his
"I love it, but no, thank you" I touched Jerry’s ar as his will
"And you won’t come with me"
"I can’t I have plans here"
"Very well" Blade exchanged a look with Damian "You’ll take her back to Frederick’s?"
"Of course" Damian actually bowed and clicked his heels But the effect was ruined by the twinkle in his eyes Green eyes if you can believe it Startling with his dark hair
Wait a et Damian Blade brushed my cheek with his thu?" I’d been dismissed, that was clear from the look on Blade’s face "What is this? My way or the highway?" Blade dropped his hand "Your choice, not mine Take care, lass"
"But it’s late" On cue, a clock soht--"
"I’ll ht for ato just walk out the door I really think he planned to But he looked hard at Darabbed me and kissed me Not a "See you around, babe" kiss, but a "You’re mine and I’ll be back to claim you" kiss Wow I leaned into hiht back at you, Jerry" kiss And "See if Mara can top this" kiss He wasn’t the only one who could stake a claim Yep, we’re both twisted
"You sure you want to leave, Blade?" Damian sounded amused and that was definitely alook, then turned on his heel and left
"You can still go with hione look
"No" Daleam in his eyes Of course, he’d smelled sex on Blade and les that I’d lost my underwear somewhere Did he think I was a slut? I s e His eyes widened then he laughed
"I’ll be careful, Glory Shall we go?"
"Why not?" I stepped outside and saw red taillights disappearing down the hill I refused to give in to the urge to cry or throw soe black Cadillac convertible at the curb
