“He’s turning it into a game,” I said, rising to my feet. “I have to find somewhere to hide. Can you watch my food for me? I probably won’t be back before it?—”

Ifeltthe man’s presence before I saw him.

My gaze met his across the room a heartbeat before his hands were on my waist, walking me backward until my ass met the edge of the table. His teeth slid into my throat, and I gripped the collar of his button-down desperately as I fought the lust flooding through me with his magic.

He was so much more powerful when he bit me after feeding the day before.

His magic was nearly impossible to ignore.

“Fuck you,” I breathed, gripping his shirt even harder.

Eyes all around the room were on us.

There was a reason vampires were provided with private rooms when out in public. Watching one feed could most definitely trigger other people’s predatorial instincts. Seeing him bite me would push others to want to do exactly the same.

But considering his power level, I didn’t imagine anyone would actually lose control of themselves to that level.

Hopefully.

Fingers and toes crossed.

He didn’t drink from me for nearly as long as he had the night before when his fangs finally retracted.

My chest rose and fell quickly, pressed against his.

“Everyone’s staring at us, huh?” I whispered.

“Yup,” Zora said from beside me. She was still sitting down, sprawled out, but there was something bright in her eyes that made me smile.

She was exactly the kind of woman who would love a game like the one Damian had just started.

And itwasa game. Because he’d just drank from me in the middle of the damn dining room, and I wasn’t going to let him get away with that easily.

“Good morning, little siren,” Damian said, his eyes bright and his gaze victorious. “Don’t leave my bed without waking me up again.”

“Yourbed?” I drawled, though I wasn’t offended in the slightest.

I was too damn excited.

“Our bed,” he corrected himself, finally taking a step back and sitting down in the chair on the other side of mine.

Our food got there just as I took my seat again, and Damian put in a breakfast order of his own. His hand landed on my thigh under the table, and I bit my lip to hide my stupid smile.

My phone buzzed again, and a glance at the screen made me snort.

The Vamp Manor Homies chat was exploding, but I didn’t bother opening it. It would just have moreBig Daddy HaleandBig Mama Bshit.

Those weren’t the messages that I tapped on.

Zora read over my shoulder again as I opened my conversation with Kara and Lou.
