“Are you ready to hear it?” he asked.

I jumped when his fangs nipped the muscle of my thigh. “Hear what?”

“My argument.”

His tongue came out to flick my clit, making my body twitch.

“I’m listening.”

I felt his smile against my pussy before he opened his mouth and began convincing me.

Chapter

Twenty-Four

Talant

I kept Minerva’s knees pinned up high as I devoured her. Her pale skin flushed with heat and desire as I latched onto her clit, licking and sucking. My fangs ached to sink into her, but I fought the urge. I hadn’t asked if I could bite her again. And I needed to ask soon because I wasn’t sure how many times I could resist the instinct. When I was inside her, I wanted to consume her. All of her.

I wanted to carry her in my very veins. I wanted a part of her with me for eternity.

The blood exchange had bound her to me, but as long as we continued to drink from each other, it would get stronger each time.

Minerva squirmed beneath my hands and mouth, her fingers locking into my hair as I tormented her clit. Her panting breaths became moans and whimpers as I locked my lips around her clit and sucked hard.

Minerva jerked, and suddenly, the taste of her blood was in my mouth again. My fangs had nicked her. I hadn’t meant to do it, but my control was frayed thin. Her thighs tried to slam together, but my hands were in the way. She cried out, her bodywrithing on the bed as she came hard. The taste of her in my mouth, her blood and her sex, snapped the last of my control.

I released her legs, moving to crouch over her. Pink stained her cheeks and chest as she breathed hard. Her peaked nipples flushed the same color.

I sucked one into my mouth, wringing another cry from her, and nearly sank my fangs into her breast as her sharp nails bit into my shoulders.

Releasing her nipple, I grasped her hips and flipped her onto her belly. Minerva tossed her hair out of her face and looked over her shoulder at me, brilliant gold eyes shimmering up at me in her flushed face. Using my knees, I shoved her legs apart and lowered my chest to her back, keeping her trapped beneath me. I braced my weight on my forearms, angling my hips until the tip of my cock lined up with the hot, wet silk of her pussy.

I cupped Minerva’s jaw in my hand, keeping her face turned toward me as I slid inside her, slow and deep. She gasped before she moaned low in her throat, her body clasping me tightly.

“I need you,” I said, keeping my body locked inside hers, unmoving.

“I’m here.”

I shook my head, trying to clear the fog of bloodlust and desire. “I need to…”

I groaned as she shifted beneath me, making the muscles sheathing my cock ripple and tighten. My tenuous hold on control slipped again.

“Tal, what are you?—”

“I need to bite you. I’m not sure I can hold myself back unless we stop right now.” Goddess, I hoped she didn’t want me to stop because it was going to be agony if she did.

Her eyes locked on mine, unblinking, as she stared up at my face. I gentled my hold on her jaw, stroking the tips of my fingersdown the delicate line of bone to the artery that throbbed in the side of her neck.

She remained still except for the pounding of her heart beneath my fingertips.

“Do you want me to stop?” I asked.

Minerva’s silence lasted so long that I tensed, ready to pull my body away, before she finally answered.

“No, don’t stop,” she murmured. “I don’t want you to stop. Take what you need.”

“I don’t?—”
