The warmth in her chest was something she’d never experienced before. A settled, sure rightness.
I am going to love you forever.
“You’re a good man,” she whispered.
“I’m good for you.” He stroked his hands down her body and knelt between her legs. “And you are so very good for me.”
Chloe had expected the warm kisses and laving tongue. She couldn’t keep her eyes off him. The sight of his head between her legs was enough to make her see stars. What she wasn’t expecting was the hot, buzzing sensation that crept under her skin, making her feel light-headed as he kissed higher.
“Is that amnis?” She gasped when his tongue found her center.
“A little. Do you like it?”
“Fuck yes.” She couldn’t keep her eyes on him. They rolled back in pleasure as he wound her up. The mounting pleasure grew and grew until she felt his mouth on her thigh. Felt his teeth grow long as he pressed them to her skin. “Yes.”
The pleasure cascaded as his fangs pierced her skin. He pulled from her vein and stroked her clitoris as her back arched in the most powerful orgasm she’d ever experienced. Shivers ran over her body. Her skin felt ultrasensitive. Every inch of her came alive under his hands and mouth and body.
Gavin pulled hard on her thigh, then she felt his tongue swipe over her skin. He rose over her and entered her when the climax was still giving her aftershocks. His lips were swollen and his skin was flushed.
Because of me.
Chloe pulled his mouth to hers and tasted the edge of iron in his kiss. He lifted her knee with his hand and entered her at a deeper angle. She hooked her leg around his waist and pulled him closer.
Closer.
Never close enough.
“My love.” Gavin gasped against her neck, scraping his teeth along her skin, but he didn’t bite. “My sweet, sweet love.”
He muttered curses when he came.
Chloe didn’t understand a single one.
Gavin heldher as she slept. She was lying in his bed. His scent covered her skin. Her blood flowed in his body.
The sigh he gave was of deep, deep contentment.
Chloe’s curls tickled his nose, but he didn’t move. She was sleeping with her head in the curve of his shoulder and her arms wrapped around his waist. Their naked legs were tangled together.
He would not have moved for all the whiskey in the world.
She slept for a half an hour, murmuring under her breath, and woke with languid eyes and a long stretch.
Chloe looked up and smiled. “Hi.”
“Hello.” Gavin met her smile with his own. “Did you have a nice nap?”
“I did. This bed is really comfortable.” She looked around the room. “I always wondered what your room looked like.”
“Just this. Not very exciting. Though you improve it.”
She smiled, then abruptly narrowed her eyes. “You’re not going to want me to…”
“Sleep in here all day with me? Party all night?” He smiled. “No, dove. You’re welcome to wake me up in the evening if you’re home, but it’d be a bit maddening for you to be locked in all day. You have a life.”
“Okay. Good. That was one thing I wasn’t sure of.”
“Also, I look a bit dead when I’m sleeping. No need for you to see that.”
