Her eyes held his The brown bled away until only darkness remained

A darkness tohim feel the wet retreat of her sex, the soft silk of her body His fingers clenched around her hips and he pushed her back, arching up with a hard thrust

Still her eyes stayed on his

He could see the edge of her fangs, but she made no move to drink fro-torture-him move Sweat beaded his brow as he watched her The heat and fury of their previous loveone This was different

He pushed up and hiswith his tongue Such tender flesh

Her fingers sank into his hair and she held hi his ck balls-deep in her slick heat

The need to thrust, to shove deep and take control, pounded through him, but he yanked the lust back on its leash

She needed this So did he

Softness, restraint Control

For once

Because death had been too close

Her fingers tugged at his hair and his mouth freed her breast He looked up at her

The bloodlust, no the lust for her, only her, broke free He grabbed her hips and shoved up, deep and hard, and she ca out a cry as her eyes widened and the ripples of her release contracted around his cock

He cliht as he could, and knew that no way, no fking as he gonna let Sandra Dee go

He’d die for her, and, hell, yeah, he’d kill for her In a heartbeat

Because the truth was the woman held his heart in her hand In the same hand that she usually held her beloved stakes

When her heartbeat slowed down and the tremors finally left her body, Dee sucked in a deep breath Probably shouldn’t have juht away
