Letting go of his wrists, I slam him back to the floor, pouncing on him with a low growl. He gives me a delighted look and tilts his head in preparation for me to chomp down on his jugular.
“Fuck, yes!” he yells in triumph as I pierce his vein and start slurping at him with all the finesse of a newbie Vamp.
But I don’t give a fuck.
He tastes delicious. He tastes like wild strawberries picked on a hot summer’s day and washed down with Champagne but with a slightly spicy kick.
I want more.
Ineedmore.
I can’t stop.
I’m parched and his blood slakes the raging thirst that I have.
Grinding my hips down, I feel the bulge in his pants, but I don’t want sex with him. I just want to drink and drink and drink until I can feel the burning in my throat abate.
Drawing back, I give him an apologetic look as I wipe my chin with the back of my hand, but he doesn’t give a flying fuck. His face is flushed, his eyes are alive, his dick is digging into me and he gives a whoop of delight.
“Fuck, yeah!” he yells and grabs my hips, rolling us over so that his body is covering mine. His fangs are down, and he takes a moment for me to give him consent and then he returns the favor by biting down viciously and suckling my blood with way more panache than I did to him. I belatedly realize that I also didn’t ask him if I could bite him.
He doesn’t seem to care though as he simulates sex with me, which is so fucking sexy with his fangs in my neck, I come in his arms, shuddering like it will never stop with his name on my lips.
“I hate to break up this bite-fest,” Trey drawls, “but isn’t there a massive, brooding Dark Fae Guard waiting to be rescued.”
Instantly, I crash back to Earth and push on Theo as he releases me, also feeling shame for losing himself in the moment. But he groans and rolls off me.
“This is going to be torture until I can get rid of it,” he says, indicating his raging hard-on.
“Rath will take care of it for you, won’t you, not-Gramps?” Trey snickers.
Sitting up, I snort unattractively as Theo gives Rath a hopeful look, but I break it up before it’s even started. “As much as I want to see Rath on his knees with your dick in his mouth, Theo, Trey’s right. We have to get this show on the road.”
Theo’s face falls dramatically, but I know he’s really okay. “So, what’s the plan?” he asks, going serious. I stand up and hold my hand out for Rook, who is looking a bit unsure of seeing me with fangs. I stow them, realizing that the action is as easy as breathing, just like my wings.
“We march to the border and I will talk to the Guards there first. It will be easier to get them on my side by going to them at the start. I’m pretty sure that either way, they will want Ambrosia out of power and so won’t stop us. I’m hoping that all of this…” I gesture to me and Theo, who suddenly seems to have a shimmer of power glowing all around him that is probably indicating his über-Vampire boost, “…won’t be needed. It’s a necessary back-up and there should they attempt to turn us away.”
“I don’t think they will once you talk to them,” Rath states with such confidence in me, I simper slightly.
“Let’s go then,” I say and head for the door.
With my men at my back, we stalk through the Dark Fae Palace, out of the doors, across the gardens and out of the gate.
I figure this is a better way to go about it so that they see us coming. If we Puffport straight to the border, they will immediately go on the offensive.
A short while later, after a walk where no one said another word, we arrive at the border. The Guards go on alert and point swords at us with suspicious looks.
I hold my hands up and the men hang back, knowing that the further away they are, the better, but also needing to be close to me.
Giving the Guards a big, friendly smile, which only further serves to add to their suspicion, the one that I guess is the superior officer of the group steps forward.
“Hello,” I say. “I’m Savannah.”
“I know who you are,” he growls.
Well, I had kind of hoped he would. It would have been awkward if I’d had to explain that I’m Queen of the Dark Fae and then launch into my goddess tale after that.
“What’s your name?”
