“I told you, Bastille adopted me,” he said. “I may not be some super strong basilisk, but everyone deserves a family, right, Luna?” The sincerity in his voice softened her even more.
I…have feelings for Sly. “I won’t take you from your family, Sly,” she promised. She would control her bloodlust. She had to.
“I’m not worried about that.” A small smile stretched his plush lips. “I’m worried you will takeyourselffrom my family. Don’t give up on us, Luna. Not yet. Let us win you the way you deserve to be won.”
Daxton cleared his throat from the corner of the room. “This was supposed to be a bloodlust lesson.”
Nikolai nodded and moved to stand behind Sly, facing Luna. “Let’s begin.”
“No romancing, then?” Luna asked softly, her gaze locked onto Sly’s pulse point as she drifted closer. “We just, uh, ‘do the deed?’”
“Technically, I am buying you dinner first,” Sly said.
“Focus on his heartbeat, Luna,” Nikolai instructed. Tall, dark, and handsome. Imposing. Deadly.He really does make a sexy teacher.
Thump, thump. Gods, Sly smelled so good. Like summertime—sunshine, sensual sweat, and cold, refreshing coffee ice cream. Her fangs lengthened in her mouth, causing an ache of pain and thrill of anticipation. She still remembered the raw pleasure she felt while drinking from Bastille—a much different experience than when she wanted to hurt the other predator shifter.What if I end up grinding myself on Sly too?
She tried to clear her mind, shaking her thoughts from her head.
“Listen to his heartbeat before you bite,” Nikolai said, curling a hand behind Sly’s neck and bending it, so Sly’s head tilted and his magnificent throat was on display to her. “That way you can recognize how much it weakens the longer you feed.”
Thump, thump, thump.
His heartbeat was strong but irregular.He is nervous. She blew a calming breath over his neck, and Sly stiffened, preparing for the bite.
“Thank you,” she whispered, before sinking her fangs into him.
Chapter 47
Shit, Sly thought to himself as her teeth broke through his skin and she began to suck.Fuck.
He was not the man to pine over another guy’s girl—especially the mate of his friend and king—but this wasLuna. Funny, pretty, sassy, guarded, soft, delicate, yet hard as stubborn rock, Luna.
Offering his blood to her was about as uncomfortable as it could be. Because he wanted her. Viscerally. He was just a fox shifter who the king of the Dark Ones kept around. How was he ever supposed to throw his hat into the ring for Luna? Compete against a basilisk, a dragon, and a werewolf?
And from the looks of how Nikolai stared so intensely at her—like she was his new favorite subject that he wished to become an expert in—it would seem the vampire was also a contender for her affections.
What if we could all share her?
Still, Sly felt a small sense of pride at being the one she practiced biting. A welling sensation of desire ran through his veins at providing this to her.
It feels so fucking good, Sly thought. She sucked, dragging blood from him, and his shaft pulsed behind his pants zipper in response. Each pull from his neck felt like a tugging pressure, a luscious sucking on his cock.
Why did she have to tenderly whisper “thank you” just before this, making him melt for her? She was the king’s mate. He shouldn’t be feeling like…
His mind shot back to when he teased her with the vibrator in the cabin. Her naked body straining against those ropes, gyrating as she cried out to come… As shebeggedto come.
Sly’s hands turned to fists at his sides, trying to resist the sudden urge to touch her. To cup her full breasts. To grab at her round hips. Tomoldhimself to her.
The dragon might burn me to a crisp.
“See how you’re making it feel good for him?” Nikolai asked softly from behind Sly. “Doesn’t it feel good, Sly?”
She moaned against his neck as she drank deeply, and he went a little lightheaded—not because she took too much, but because her moan made his chest purr with approval. Hot little flames ignited in his bloodstream, pumping through his every limb, sinking to fill his cock, thickening it with need.
He became so hard, so fast, he groaned and ran a hand over his erection. Nikolai had once bitten him, but Luna’s mouth sucking on his flesh…Fuck.
Her fingernails bit into the back of his shoulders as she clutched him closer. His chest smashed against her lush breasts as she pulled at him. Her firm, tight, little nipples poked into him, and his cock throbbed painfully as he recognized her new scent in the air—arousal.
