“You really bringing him up right now?” I asked. Seemed like the wrong time to talk about a guy I’d just murdered in front of him.
“I need to know… if I’m going to… I don’t know… do this thing with you… I need to know. Because you killed that guy, Sage, and no one even seemed phased by it except me,” Adrian said.
I sighed and walked over to him, taking him by his shoulders. “I’ve never hid who I am from you. That guy was a killer, a child molester. No, I don’t feel anything about his death. I would have killed him anyway had I’d known about him. But I fed on his blood. This is a new normal for me. I need to know if this is something you can handle. Adrian, you keep asking me if I’m angry with you. I’m not. I know now that I can trust you with my life. I need to know if you can handle what I am.”
He was quiet for a few seconds and it was long enough to cause me to worry. Then he looked up at me. “Promise me one thing,” he asked.
“What?”
“Promise me that you won’t ever kill anyone innocent,” he said.
“I will try my best to never do that. But if I have to in order to save you or my pride, then I will do whatever it takes. Can you handle that?” I asked him.
“I… I think so,” he sighed.
I leaned over, kissing his forehead. “I will do everything to protect you, Adrian. You… you’re my family now.”
Again, I kissed him and he leaned into me, our kiss growing more passionate. Oh yeah, this was what I wanted… finally, a mate that could match me perfectly. He was fearless and did what he had to do to achieve his goal. I was the same way, but more importantly, he did whatever it took for the people he cared about. I knew Adrian cared about me. How deeply his emotions ran, I wasn’t sure. But I for damn sure was going to do whatever it took to make him happy… to make him mine. I took him into the bathroom and smiled as I watched his mouth drop open.
“Oh damn, this doesn’t make any fucking sense! Your bathroom is bigger than Xavier’s apartment,” he said.
I laughed. “And there is plenty of room for you if you ever wanted to move in. Just putting that out there, you don’t have to answer now. In any case, why don’t you get the bathtub ready while I wash off the blood.”
He nodded and did just that as I stripped off my bloody pants and socks, then climbed into the shower. I was quick about it and my cock was hard the entire time. When I opened the glass door and stepped out, I saw Adrian pouring half a bottle of bubble liquid into the bath as the water filled the tub.
“This bathtub is huge and I want a lot of bubbles,” he said, grinning.
“Knock yourself out.”
He looked at me and his eyes zeroed in on my raging hard on. “Oh, I see someone is excited.”
“Horny as fuck. I’ve been horny ever since I fed. Drinking blood is… I can’t really describe it. But it’s everything. I’m starting to understand why vampires overindulge on it,” I said, then stepped into the bathtub and moaned as I sunk deeper into the bubbles. “Come on, get your sexy ass over here.”
The smile on his face let me know we were about to have one hell of a good time. He stripped out of his clothes and I was mesmerized by how beautiful he was. From head to toe, he was perfection. I watched as he removed his shoes and socks and saw each defined muscle flexing under his golden skin. I knew he was mine. I felt it within every inch of my soul that he belonged to me and I belonged to him. And… I believed Adrian knew it too. Why else would he have gone through such great lengths to save my life?
We’d only knew each other for less than a week, but… it didn’tfeelthat way. I felt more comfortable around Adrian than I did around anyone else, and that spoke volumes considering how I felt about my pride. My smile grew wider once he was fully naked and I got to see all of him. His cock was semi-hard, but I was planning on taking care of that. It bobbed hypnotically as he stepped down into the tub, then began walking toward me.
“This bathtub is just as amazing as it is ridiculous,” he commented as he drew closer, the water and suds swishing between his legs with each step.
“I love excess and luxury and I make no excuses about it. I work hard for what I have. I tend to enjoy it to the fullest.”
“I can tell. Your home is beautiful,” he said, then sat down in front of me, the bubbles coming up to his nipples. Those perky fuckers were tempting me to wrap my lips around them and suck for dear life.
I licked my lips as if tasting them already. “I… Adrian… I can’t thank you enough for saving my life.”
He scooted closer, the water splashing a little between us. “I thought you’d be furious. I mean… you’re a mob boss and king shifter. Being under a vampire’s thumb…” he trailed off.
I smirked. “I wouldn’t be anything if you didn’t take the risk. You could have died going to see Salino.”
He gave me a nervous chuckle. “I thought at one point, I might just end up that way. Especially when he attacked me.”
“And you proved to him that you are no punk. Vampires respect a strong stance, despite what they say. It’s why Salino has never bothered to cross me before. But I don’t want to talk about that. Not right now.” I reached over, caressing his face. “God… you’re beautiful.”
He laughed. “Beautiful? Me? I mean… “
“You’re beautiful to me,” I said.
He stared at me in silence for a few seconds and I wondered if I’d insulted him in some way. He surprised me by leaning over and pressing his lips to mine. When he parted them, I took the invitation to slip my tongue between those luscious lips and taste him. I cradled the back of his head as we kissed and he pressed both hands against my pecs to keep from falling, although, I would have caught him.
