He grinned back, and they ran

Wings flew overhead now and then, and when they did, the two of theot frolowed—Venom knew because she’d unzip and check every so often, until, by the tie, there was no wash of acid green pulsing off her body

Dawn hovered a red line on the horizon, but it was just far enough off that the faroats up in these mountains weren’t yet awake Venoe, not stopping when dogs barked

They were long gone and back in the forests before anyone so much as twitched a curtain in response to the canine alarm If anyone had seen them, all they would’ve spotted were two dark silhouettes Venom had pulled the knit cap back over his hair and made sure to keep his eyes open only a sliver so no one could identify him

Sunglasses pre-daould’ve been a dead giveaway

Safe in the trees soe, they stopped so Venom could drink the second bottle of blood, after which Holly would feed froave her the prepackaged food she’d brought along: he never forgot that Holly wasn’t a vampire in the known sense, needed actual food, too As she munched on a packet of cheese and crackers, he opened the bottle of blood and—forewarned by the last bottle—took a cautious sip

Pretzels and coffee and roasting nuts

He laughed “Ashwini gave me New York this time” Another home of his heart He drank it doithout hesitation, then kissed Holly again so she could taste it And so he could taste her

She licked her tongue playfully against his “Shall we indulge in wildly-inappropriate-on-the-run sex?”

He sank his fangs into her lower lip, just enough for it to be a sting

“Ouch” She did the same back to hi

“A bed,” Venom said silkily “I want a bed and time” The luxury to stroke her softly, slowly, drink her in

Holly’s breath caught “Then let’s move it”

“Feed first” But he didn’t give her his wrist

Instead, he did so he never didexcept with her He leaned in so she could feed fro around the side of his neck, a soft breath kissing his skin, her scent slinking around him like an affectionate cat

His already rigid cock went stone hard when she sank her save him sohe’d ever before handled He cradled her head to hi in the pleasure of the intimate blood kiss

She took her ti it over with

When she did end the kiss, it ith a press of her lips against his skin “Okay,” she said in a husky tone that stroked hi blood in soainst his throat “Will you feed from me?”

Venom shuddered “When we’re safe” He wouldn’t take much, the act more about the offer and the acceptance than sustenance
