how much she loved feeding him like this because it was something only he did. None of the leeches at the blood brothel she’d been imprisoned at for three long years had ever been allowed to take her blood from anywhere else than her neck or wrist. With one last thrust, he came and flooded her tight channel with his seed. His entire body shook from the intensity of his climax. It took long moments before he could think clearly again and was able to retract his fangs from her breast. Gently he licked over the two small incisions, sealing them instantly. There would be no scars. His saliva guaranteed it. Oliver dropped his head next to hers, breathing heavily. “Wow. I love it when you do it like that.” He lifted his head to look at her. “How?” “All out of control.” He shook his head. “It was close. I almost bit you before you climaxed. But I—” She put a finger to his lips, stopping him from continuing. “Almost. I’ll make sure it won’t happen.” Oliver dropped his forehead to hers. “I thought it had gotten easier, but it hasn’t. What if one day you won’t come in time?” “Then we’ll deal with it. Together.” She gave him a soft slap on his backside. “Besides, you can always make me come.” He chuckled. “That’s what a guy likes to hear.” He pressed a gentle kiss on her lips. “It’s time to go,” she murmured back. “I know.”
2 Ursula fidgeted as she nervously watched the escalator that descended from the arrival level to the baggage claim area at San Francisco International Airport where she and Oliver were waiting. She turned to him. “You know what to tell them, right?” she asked. Oliver clasped her hand then led it to his lips, pressing a soft kiss on her knuckles. “Don’t look so anxious! Your parents will wonder whether something is wrong.” She sighed. “Well, that’s because something is wrong. I’ve been living in sin with you, and if they ever find out—” “What are they gonna do? Force me to marry you?” He chuckled. “Guess what? That’s what we’re gonna do anyway.” “Still, there’s no need to upset them.” “Upset them? I thought they liked me.” “They do,” she hastened to assure him. “Though I’m sure they would have preferred if I married a nice Chinese boy instead.” Oliver grimaced. “Hey, two out of three ain’t bad.” “Two out of what three?” she asked. He lifted his fingers and started counting. “Good looking and great in bed.” He shrugged. Ursula shook her head and rolled her eyes. “Yeah, about the latter. I’m sure my parents wouldn’t appreciate the fact that I shacked up with you for all these months while they thought I was living at the dorms at UC Berkeley.” “Shacking up with me? I’d hardly call it that.” He gave her a soft smile, his eyes dropping to her lips and his head inching closer. “Actually, I preferred it when you called it ‘living in sin.’ It’s got a much nicer ring to it.” Ursula nudged him in the ribs. “You’re terrible. I wish you’d take this seriously.” “You mean the ‘living in sin’ part? I take it very seriously. And I thought you liked it. I did. Immensely.” She felt her entire body flush with heat. He could do that to her with the way he gazed into her eyes, his mouth parting, and his fangs starting to elongate as a sign of his desire for her. “Oliver, your fangs,” she whispered under her breath. He closed his mouth instantly and swallowed. “See what you do to me. You start talking about sin, and I turn all primal.” She couldn’t help but smile. “Maybe then it’s a good thing we’re getting married. At least then it won’t be considered a sin anymore.” Oliver bent to her, placing a soft kiss near her ear. “I don’t care what it’s called. It won’t change the way I feel about you. Nor the fact that the next week will be pure torture for me.” She lifted her eyes to meet his look. “It’s the
