Chapter 32
It would be a lie for Delaney to say he had no worries about Grigori drinking his blood for the first time, but he wasn’t anxious for himself. They had no idea how the vampire would react to all the magic that poured through Delaney’s veins, and he wasn’t a huge fan of suspense outside of a horror movie. He was glad they were finally at the point where they’d get all their questions answered, and he could lessen the burden of his concern for him. After leaving the gathering of sorcerers, Delaney walked at Grigori’s side toward their bedroom.
He shook off the tumult of emotions the discussions about T’Eirick and Saura had dredged up. It was going to be a difficult time for everyone as they passed over to the other side of the veil, but Delaney figured dwelling on it beforehand would only make it worse.
When the time came, he would be ready for whatever happened. Before then, Grigori needed him, and Delaney was happy to oblige. They made it to their room, and Grigori went straight to the alarm clock to set it.
Tugging his phone from his pocket, Delaney asked, “Four minutes?”
“Yeah, but I’m thinking it’s too soon to get ready.”
“What do you mean? You have a week and a half before you run out of the blood you drank before our mating ceremony.”
“I know. No worries…I’m drinking tonight, but I think we need to do a few things first.”
Delaney’s brows drew together in confusion. “Like what?”
“Do you remember what it felt like when I bit you?” Grigori asked, and Delaney nodded. It was an incredible feeling, and the desire already consuming him had intensified to new heights. “Okay, so think about having that sensation for four minutes straight.”
“I’m going to be naked for this.”
“Damn right we are.”
His T-shirt hit the floor seconds later, and he leaned down to untie his sneakers. “What else do we need to do besides get naked?”
“Decide who gets to bottom? I imagine we’re both going to need to fuck after I’m done drinking.”
Once Delaney got his shoes and socks off, he glanced over and his hungry gaze roamed over the smooth skin of Grigori’s chest.I’m glad I’m not the only one tearing off my clothes, he thought as he reached for his belt. “You get to drink. I get to be the one fucked.”
“Willing to negotiate?”
“Absolutely not.”
Grigori chuckled as his footwear hit the floorboards. “I think we should stretch your pretty hole before I bite.”
“You won’t get any arguments from me,” Delaney assured him as he shoved his pants and underwear down. He stepped out of them and ran his hand over his hardening length.
“Stop playing with yourself and get over here,” Grigori ordered as he climbed onto the bed, naked. He snagged the lube from the nightstand and poured some onto his fingers.
Delaney got up onto the mattress and crawled until he could kiss Grigori. When they stopped for air, Delaney was out of breath and still on all fours. “We can’t forget to set the alarms,” he warned.
“No fangs or dick until they’re set.”
“We’re such a good team,” Delaney crowed as he shuffled around to give Grigori access to his ass.
“Hmm.”
“What?” Delaney asked as he waited. Grigori had yet to touch him.
“You know there are things we haven’t tried yet.”
“I’m sure there’s all kinds of things we haven’t tried yet. Remember all that shit we saw on the Internet? I don’t even know how some of that stuff works and if I’m being honest, it’s a little disturbing.”
“We’re not bringing disturbing into our bedroom,” Grigori stated. “The idea I had doesn’t require anything not currently available.”
“Okay, what it is?”
Grigori didn’t reply with words. Instead one hand landed on Delaney’s ass and he used a thumb to expose his pucker. Then he swiped his tongue over it. At that point, Delaney’s eyes rolled back into his skull and he let out a moan.
