to him. As I do, I discretely look down to see what time it is. It is only eleven o’clock, but I am unnerved by this human and his smell is driving me wild. I’m ready to do this.
    I moisten my lips and slowly tip my head up, watching as his gaze lowers and he looks at me intently. Boldly, I use my other hand to fist his tee shirt at his chest and close what little distance remains between us.
    His lips brush against mine and the strangest sensation sweeps through me. It is like butterflies are trying to escape from inside of me. Something is strange about him. I’m nervous and fluttery. Ignoring the sensation, I push forward.
    Our lips meet again, only without hesitation this time. His kiss is hungry and needy. It feels so strong, I have to remind myself that this is just a mere human. The kiss softens and his tongue gently explores the recesses of my mouth.
    When I pull away, I’ m breathing hard and my feelings are all over the place. This is unnerving. That’s when he gasps and I instantly know what has happened. My violet eyes have become more intense and bright. I have to get him out of here before my control slips.
    Leaning forward again, I shout in his ear. “Let’s get out of here!”
    Chase smiles and begins to tug me towards the exit. A sigh of relief that this is almost over, escapes my lips. Needing my fix, my perfect composure is waning. I can’t afford to let my human features slide.
    Vampires have brightly colored eyes that glow when we are feeding. We have to be careful about being seen, so our feedings require privacy. In my case, my violet eyes glow a bright purple and people would definitely notice.
    Once we exit t he warmth of the club, I enjoy the soft breeze outside. Keeping my hand wrapped in his, we move further away from the noise.
    “Do you live close by?” I ask breathily.
    “Yeah, just two blocks over.”
    “Good,” I say into his mouth as my lips land on his and tug his bottom lip gently. He lets a small moan escape.
    “Let’s go before I have my way with you in this alley.”
    The thought sends chills across my bare skin. Could I do it? I’ve never indulged with a human but something about Chase is so different, it makes me curious.
    Truthfully, I’ ve never indulged with anyone. Female vampires, especially royals, are coveted. Besides not being able to leave our city alone, we’re forced to wait until we have finished the mating process.
    We must remain pure until our mating night. Then the breeding begins. Vampires don’t believe in birth control because it’s hard enough for a vampire to conceive. Every life is a blessing when it comes to our kind.
    The blood ball will be the first time I’m actually allowed to begin the mating selection. Since we mate for life, my goal is to take my time and choose right, on my own terms. That doesn’t mean I don’t lust after hot guys, it’s just never been a human before.
    Coming off of my tangent and trying to refocus on my present situation is hard, but I can’t afford to lose track of myself. Knowing that doesn’t necessarily make my mind stop thinking about Chase.
    All my thoughts on the walk to his place circle around how he will taste as his blood spills into my mouth. Will it be sweet or metallic? Maybe it will be bitter and I won’t really enjoy it. Trying to calm myself down, my primary focus is not let my features slip. Showing him my fangs would definitely scare him away.
    I hope that he tastes every bit as good as he looks. I’ve never seen anyone more gorgeous. It’s almost a shame he’s human and won’t remember this. The thought makes me uneasy but is quickly brushed away once again.
    We walk in a comfortable silence, hand in hand. It takes only a few minutes to reach his apartment building. Chase unlocks the outer door and tugs me up the stairs to the third floor.
    After he open s the door and we step inside, I take in the scene before me. I’m not expecting this. Usually a single male’s apartment is all
