“How much trouble am I in?” Hegna grimaced. Her hands skated along Stormey’s torso with one resting on her hip while the other landed on her bottom.
Hegna was in her formal leathers that were different from her fighting ones. Stormey had wanted her to wear something fancy such as her gown, but Hegna was not having it. She insisted on her formal uniform that had their family emblem on it. She met Stormey halfway and had her hair styled in a braidless manner that left her hair flowing along her shoulders and back.
“I’ll have to decide. Why don’t you escort me to the dance floor?” Stormey asked. She pressed a soft kiss to Hegna’s lips.
Her vampire’s nostrils flared out, her eyes filling with desire.
“Of course, miere. Anything you want.” Hegna dropped another kiss on her lips, taking her hand and leading her out to the dance floor.
The sea of dancers parted to allow them to walk to the center. Stormey eyed her mate, and a rush of desire filled her. She was one lucky woman.
Hegna swung her around, bringing her into the circle of her embrace. Stormey tilted her head back to meet the gaze of her love. Hegna’s icy-blue eyes warmed as they met hers.
“New medical center?” Hegna asked.
“Yeah, I made that up right then and there. I guess I need to put that on my list of things for me and the girls to work on.” Stormey giggled. She pressed closer to her mate, loving the feeling of her vampire against her. Hegna always would have her back. If this was something she wanted, then Hegna would move mountains to ensure she got it.
“I love when you get all fired up about what you believe in,” Hegna said. She twirled Stormey around.
Applause came from their audience. Stormey smiled at their spectators, not realizing the dancers had given them the floor. She inhaled softly, detecting a hint of her mate’s desire.
“I can scent how much you love it.” Stormey smiled. She embraced her new life as a vampire. She could have cried, thrown tantrums, or fallen into deep depression, but that wasn’t her. She was always a fighter. If fate determined that she become a vampire, then so be it.
A single bell sounded, ringing through the air. Stormey frowned, unsure of what it meant. She glanced around, and no one appeared bothered by it. The dancers now joined them on the floor, crowding around them. She pressed closer to Hegna and dropped a kiss on her chin.
“I do love you,” she whispered softly.
The lights lowered even more around them, but it didn’t bother Stormey. She was now able to see in the dark. It was one perk that she loved. Even in the low light, she watched Hegna’s pupils constrict.
“And I love you, too, miere,” Hegna murmured. She cupped Stormey’s cheek and held her in place as she covered her mouth with hers.
Stormey’s lips parted, welcoming Hegna’s tongue. Stormey had never felt so loved and cherished. This was now her reality and her life. Hegna ensured that she honored all of her vows she’d made to Stormey.
Hegna broke their kiss and spun Stormey around. Her arms came around Stormey and held her back against her chest. They continued to sway with the rhythm of the music. Stormey rested her head back, tilting her head to the side.
“What was that bell for?” Stormey asked.
Hegna’s lips danced along her neck, leaving a trail of kisses on her skin.
“The human entertainment,” Hegna replied.
Her fangs slid over Stormey’s neck, eliciting a moan from Stormey. Her eyes fluttered closed as she rested back against Hegna. She basked in the feeling of her mate’s arms around her. Hegna’s hand slid down her stomach and was dangerously low where Stormey’s slit began.
“You know how much vampires love feeding, miere. I ensured our coven had plenty of entertainment and food.”
Stormey smirked. She was sure she knew what type of entertainment her mate was providing for their coven’s entertainment. That male who had approached Corbin had definitely not been a part of the waitstaff. She wouldn’t have put it past Corbin to get first look at the entertainers or donors and had picked who he wanted. Corbin certainly took advantage of being the personal advisor to the princess, and he deserved it.
“I’m sure you did, and that’s why our coven loves you,” Stormey murmured.
Hegna nipped at her ear, her warm breath sending a shiver down Stormey’s spine.
“I care not that they love me,” Hegna said. “The only person I need to love me is you.”
Stormey gasped, feeling Hegna’s hand part her dress open. Stormey had suspected that Hegna had this dress made for a reason, and now it was confirmed. Hegna’s talented fingers parted her labia and dipped into her wet heat. Stormey’s pussy was primed and drenched.
Hegna drew some of her slickness up to her clit and stroked Stormey’s protruding bud.
“Hegna,” Stormey moaned. Her head fell back to rest on Hegna’s shoulder.
