“Will you take some of my blood to help you heal?” His eyes dart back and forth between mine. I feel his need to nurture me, the intensity of his feelings for me.
“Yes,” I tell him angling myself toward him.
He puts his wrist to his mouth to tear open his vein and then holds it out to me. I take it and lap at the blood that’s dripped out already. As soon as the coppery tang hits my tongue, I growl in appreciation, and that has his vampire flashing through his eyes. I take a deep pull while keeping eye contact with him, and we both hum in pleasure. I take another deep pull, and we both stand up. I give his wrist one final lick and release it, already feeling the effects of his blood.

Unbound
He lifts me out of the tub, and I wrap my legs around his waist. I can feel his erection through his jeans and rub my bare center against him. He growls and backs me up against the wall.
Then his mouth on mine, not a hard, demanding kiss like I was expecting but a soft, exploratory kiss. One of his hands moves to cup my pussy, and he gently grinds his palm against my clit. I pull his shirt over his head, and he breaks away from kissing me just long enough to toss it across the bathroom. Then he’s carrying me through the door into the bedroom.
He sets me down on the edge of the bed and kneels between my legs. His hands grip my hips and yank my center closer to his mouth after tossing each of my legs over his shoulders. Then his mouth is closed over my clit, his tongue flicking and swirling around it. I rise up on my elbows so I can watch how beautiful he is, his head buried between my thighs. He looks up, and we made eye contact, then he laps straight up my slit and slides his fingers inside me again. I can feel my orgasm building, and I breathlessly say his name as he rubs circles over my clit. My orgasm slams into me. My legs are shaking as he stands up.
He unbuttons his jeans and pushes them and his underwear down. Then he’s crawling over me on the bed and pulling me up my head can rest on a pillow. He kisses me slow and deep again, 274

and I can still taste myself on his lips. He slides between my legs and enters me in one long, slow stroke. He keeps the pace slow and starts trailing kisses down my neck, to my breast, back to my neck, and I swear I feel a scrape of his fangs. I clench around him about to come again, and he increases his pace. He’s slamming into me when I cry out in ecstasy again. The last waves of my orgasm, making me clench around him, and he comes with one final thrust. He rolls us over so I’m draped partially over him and I fall asleep in my vampire’s arms.

Calum
Tonight was unusual. It went against all my instincts as Lenna’s protector to let her fight the other shifters and watch her endure injuries. If the fox hadn’t kept stopping me, I would have been by her side before one blow landed. I will admit she was captivating to watch. She moved with such savage intensity and intent and then her grace and skill with her katana. I’m anxious to get her training in the Dark Fae realm and using her full powers.
I knew she was my mate as soon I felt the pull to her. I can feel her every emotion, the pain, the devastation, the love she has for her mates. I’m sure she’s also in denial about the latter. I don’t want to insert myself into their relationship yet, not when she’s in so much turmoil. Twenty-eight years I’ve waited and searched for her. Sitting in the room that would be hers in the palace on Sanctuary. Wondering where she was, who she was, and whom she surrounded herself with.

After spending the past few days with her mates, I have to admit they seem to only have her best interests at heart. I feel like I can trust them to keep her safe, not that I’m ever letting her leave my side now. I’m giving her this one night before I drop the bomb on her that this only the beginning and she has to go home; to Sanctuary.
