“Oh, Angel. So perfect,” Vin whispered.

“Gonna go out on a limb and guess that vampires mate through penetration,” Angelo said between gasps.

Vin pressed a finger to his lips. “Suck,” he ordered. “Get it nice and wet.”

Angelo took the digit into his mouth and did as he was told. He was rewarded moments later when an impatient Vin returned his hand to where it had been and pushed a little harder, finally breaching the muscled ring of Angelo’s hole with his finger. They weren’t even bonded yet, but it was like Vin had a cheat sheet on how to make Angelo’s nerves sing as he stroked into his body over and over again.

“Fuck,” Angelo gasped. “So good. More. Please.”

He whined as the finger disappeared and his mate’s body twisted beneath him so he could reach down next to the bed.

“Hush, Angel. We need lube,” Vin gently chided.

“How the fuck did you fit that in your jeans?” Angelo asked as Vin gave a triumphant cry and held a small bottle up like a trophy.

Vin smirked. “You’d be surprised what I can fit into my outfits.”

Angelo leaned over to look at the collection of clothes Vin had dropped next to them and noticed the small arsenal of weapons that had somehow remained unseen in his scant clothing. The tiny bottle was really the least impressive thing he’d hidden.

Vin took advantage of his distraction to flip their positions so Angelo was on his back.

“Hold your knees apart for me, sweetheart.”

Angelo swallowed hard and did as he was told. “You’re really not going to tell me anything, are you?”

Vin looked up at him from where he’d been sliding down his body. “Do you trust me?”

“Yes.” He didn’t know when or how it happened, but he did. Implicitly. Without reservation.

“I promise I won’t hurt you. But if I explain it, you’re going to tense up and then it might.”

“Not filling me with confidence here, Vin.”

Vin’s smile was wicked. “Better fill you with something else, then, so you’re too distracted to think about it.”

CHAPTER 10: ANGELO

Angelo’s eyesrolled back in his head as two lubed fingers slipped inside him. The burn was exquisite, and the slide obscene in the best way. The hint of danger that Vin’s talons could come into play if he lost control flooded his body with an adrenaline high. When Vin’s mouth started licking and working over his balls and shaft, he lost himself in sensation entirely. He had no clue what sounds and words were coming out of him other than that he was pleading, begging Vin to keep going. He didn’t realise his legs were trembling until he tried to hold them still as he felt the pressure of Vin’s fangs on his inner thigh.

“May I, Angel?” Vin asked, pausing.

The image of Vin’s debauched face staring up at him from between his legs, lips swollen from sucking his cock, hair dishevelled where Angelo hadn’t been able to stop himself from wrapping it in his fist, was one he would never forget.

“Fuck, yes,” he gasped.

It was all the invitation Vin needed. The vampire groaned in desperate pleasure as he pressed bite after bite into his thighs. He was barely feeding from them, only taking theoccasional swallow of Angelo’s blood but otherwise using his saliva to immediately clot the wounds. For a moment Angelo was as confused as he was aroused and then he realised what his tricksy mate had done as pleasure venom flooded his system from half a dozen or more different searing bites to the sensitive skin so close to where Vin was still working his fingers in and out of him, scissoring and stroking him with three now. There was a frantic edge to his movements that hadn’t been there before the bites, as if the release of his venom was affecting him just as much as it was Angelo.

“Vin, please. I need you,” Angelo moaned, voice broken.

“Tell me what you need, Angel,” Vin said, nipping at the skin where his leg met his groin and letting loose another few precious drops of blood.

“Your cock. My ass. Now,” Angelo snapped.

Vin’s smile lit up his whole body. “Look at you trying to top from the bottom. So cute.”

Angelo snorted and shook his head. “Just get inside me, you annoying, bossy, beautiful?—”

His words were cut off by Vin notching the head of his intimidatingly thick cock against his hole and slowly and relentlessly pushing into him.
