“I already did, and you forgot to even acknowledge it,” I tossed back, deciding to go with left.

He followed me without pause, which made me think I’d picked the right way. “I acknowledged it.”

“It was greatisn’t a compliment when a woman tells you it was the best sex of her life. You basically saidI’ve had better. You could at least mention what I did wrong.” As the words came out, I was forced to admit to myself that he’d hurt me just the tiniest bit.

Well, fine.

Maybe more than the tiniest bit.

I’d only had sex a few times, so it wasn’t like I was a professional. And I’d never left afterward saying,“I want to do that again.”

So yeah, maybe I was shit in bed.

But I didn’t want tohearthat.

Maybe I needed to ask my sisters for pointers or something. I?—

He grabbed my hip, turning me around and walking me backward until my ass met a cold wall. I tried not to shiver.

His eyes were narrowed at me when I looked up. “I haven’t had better. Between sating myself on your blood, fucking you while I fed, and feeling you come around me three times, that was the most erotic experience of my life. I just shouldn’t have let it happen.”

“And there you go again.” I tossed a hand toward him, hurt and anger still curled in my abdomen.

“Powerful vampires should never have sex while they feed, Blair. It’s addictive. People get hurt. I should never have risked your life the way I did, and I amnevergoing to be okay with what happened, regardless of how fucking good it felt.”

“Do most vampires refrain from screwing their blood mates?”

His scowl answered my question.

I pushed his hands off me, and started back down the hallway. A door opened behind us, and he snarled at the person to wait five minutes.

The door shut again quickly.

My phone vibrated in my hand, and I looked down at the screen.

The message said I had been invited to join VAMP MANOR HOMIES.

Biting back a grin, I hit accept.

My phone vibrated repeatedly, until I muted the chat and pulled it up to see the messages.

“Who are you texting?” Damian still sounded frustrated.

“No one.”

A message popped up.

Sylvester

Hale just snarled at me. Think I saw Blair’s bare ass in front of him

Allie

Big Mama B isn’t taking it lying down

Damn straight I wasn’t.

Damian plucked my phone from my hand, ignoring my noise of irritation as he read the messages.
