realized
through the sudden light that it was Acayo.
    He’d reared back at the appearance of the flames in my hand
and was regarding me warily. He looked ready to flee at any moment and I
relaxed. I closed my hand firmly and the fire went out.
    “Don’t you know not to sneak up on a witch?” I snarled at
him, my pulse racing. “I could have killed you. What are you doing here
anyway?”
    He’d changed out of the dirty clothes I’d last seen him in
and looked amazing in a tailored gray shirt and black pants. His expression had
lost the “cornered beast” look. When I didn’t make any other movement he
relaxed further and regarded me.
    “I didn’t get a chance to thank you earlier. You probably saved
my life.”
    “Well, I’m not sure that breaking into my place really makes
for an appropriate way of showing your gratitude but you’re welcome.”
    He looked as abashed as a vampire ever could and moved
closer to me.
    “I’m sorry. It seemed like the simplest way.”
    He stared at me intently and took another step in my
direction. My pulse increased and I was suddenly very aware of the fact that it
had been a long time since I’d been alone with a hot man in my
apartment.
    “Why did you do it? Why did you save me?”
    “I didn’t like them much,” I told him, trying to keep my
voice steady as he came to a stop right in front of me.
    “It was dangerous,” he told me, placing his hands on my
waist and looking deeply into my eyes.
    I stared back, trapped by his dark gaze, and wasn’t able to
think of a thing to say. He tightened his hands on my waist and before I knew
what I was doing, I leaned in and kissed him. He inhaled as if surprised,
tensing for a second before wrapping his solid arms around me and pulling me
roughly against him. He kissed me for so long I grew lightheaded and had to
push against his chest to get him to release me. He did so reluctantly and I
gasped against him.
    “Hey, remember I have to breathe,” I managed before he
pulled me in again.
    It had been a long time and I surrendered to him
ecstatically. I bit his lip as I pulled back, and he gasped and lifted me off
my feet. I wrapped my legs around his waist and scratched his back. He held me
up easily, one hand on my ass while using the other to pull my camisole over my
head.
    I cried out as he bent his mouth to my tits, and I laced my
hands in his hair, pulling him against me. He moaned in turn and squeezed me. I
trembled in his grip and unwound my legs to slide down his body until my feet
hit the ground, before running my hand down to the bulge in his pants and
squeezing. He stiffened against me, took my shoulders and tilted me back to
kiss me.
    Sliding my hands up his body, I unbuttoned his shirt quickly
and bent my head to his nipple. He moved his hands to my hair and stroked it,
tugging gently on the ends as I sucked. I’d never been with a vampire before
and he was warmer than I’d expected. Would he bite me? Did I want him to? At
the moment I was undecided. I never thought I’d say yes to being bitten, but
the way he was making me feel, I feared I’d say yes to almost anything. He
moved his hands down my back, scratching all the way to my ass. I shivered and
straightened to put my mouth on his again and he hooked his thumbs into my
pants and pulled them down in one swift move. I turned my attention to his neck
and sucked on it gently before tilting my head up to whisper encouragement into
his ear.
    He pushed me backward against the wall and looked down at
me, his eyes burning. He put one hand against my shoulder and ran the other up
my thigh. I writhed and gasped, pleading with him to keep going, and he smiled
at me in a sultry way before he moved his hand between my legs, flicking my
clit with a finger.
    I felt flushed and hot and couldn’t think about anything but
how he felt. I tried to reach for him but he caught my wrists, tugging them
high above my head. I gasped and rose on my toes and he moved his hand to
