"Feed fro to do, as I said, it won't hurt" And it would offer her the only protection she'd get in this place

He didn't think she'd put together what he was doing, or perhaps the idea was so ludicrous and herto lend to resist it Rand was stroking her hair When Cai reached up to put his fingers against Rand's jaw, expose his neck to her, Rand curled his lip back again, his eyes flashing

Cai seized his hair in a harsh grip, and banged his head none too gently against the cabin wall It aze locked on Rand's "We've been round and round on this, wolf I'll touch you however and whenever the fuck I want You're bound to me You can't run from me, and every time you try, I leave scars on you that take days to heal You resist ht for a week until it refuses to heal up Tone down the attitude"

Rand's eyes were blue and gold fire, but as Cai held the gaze with a threatening one of his own, the fire died back His wolf's expression became sullen rather than defiant He turned his attention to the girl in his arh the rest of his body where Cai brushed it reid

"You'll have to tell us how you captured a shifter, Cai," Goddard said "It appears there is a story to be told"

"Pretty much what I already told you Saved him from a hunter, marked him, and it's been a battle of wills ever since He's more wild animal than man most days Easier to handle as a wolf" Cai tossed out a harsh chuckle "He's actually protective ofis of his Master, which pisses him off I'd sleep with one eye open if I couldn't kick his ass any day of the week He's a little stronger than your average human, but not by much"

Rand's body stiffened further at the insult, but he kept his head down If they lived through this, Cai expected he'd have a serious ass-kicking co

Count on it

Fuck, he really couldn't afford the repartee, because it did so he wasn't in this all by himself Rand's life depended on his hardness, so Cai pushed away all the soft feelings and went radio silent

When he heard the scraping of a chair, he saw that Goddard had taken a seat only a few feet away The others were positioned in a half circle, though on their feet He guessed that was in case he or Rand tried some foolish attempt to bolt

"I liked your fur," Dovia whispered shyly against Rand's chest "It's pretty"

Rand dipped his head and blinked The quiet coirl's mind was already broken, or in the first instance of safety she'd had, deceptive though it was, she'd simply spoken what came to mind

Rand's most recent experience with vampires had been those at Greenwald's, their sexual sophistication out front and overwhel a sexuallywoman, would have some level of it, when healthy and not terrified for her life But vae could be innocents in other ways Impulse control for bloodlust was so poor that they could kill a huht and ht well, for her fangs unsheathed instantly at proximity to Rand's throat, but she didn't leap on hiame

"Would you prefer a cup, my lady?" Cai asked quietly

"There's none of that my lady, my lord bullshit here," Goddard said irritably Dovia flinched As Cai kept his back to hi him, she met his eyes and shook her head

Putting her sliht her fangs to his artery A tiny growl cah her It was as if she was fighting her own urges, es about htened around her, a gentle encouragement, not a restraint, and she bit The relief fro her hunger

Cai was startled by an unexpected reaction For an absurd second, he wanted to growl himself, pull her away from Rand's throat Rand was his servant, and no other va wasn't functional for vampires It was intimate, sexual

Yeah, he'd lost his fucking mind For Dovia, it was functional and all about survival, and he was being an idiot Hell, if the intimacy, the involuntary sexual response all va illusion of safety or control, he wasn't begrudging it to her Plus, he had other things to handle

There were a lot of things wrong about what he was going to do And dangerous And part of the reason he'd stayed so fucking far away fro as he could He hadn't told Lyssa the whole truth No one knew the whole truth

He'd never actually successfully done it to a female vampire But that wasn't because he couldn't do it It was because he'd never tried
