Carys kept moving on him, relishing the way his body responded to her.

He gazed up at her from under heated eyes. “I can see we’re gonna have to lay down some ground rules about who’s in charge.”

She smirked. “You know how I feel about rules.”

He reached up to caress her cheek. “How do you feel about forever with me, love?”

Elation sent her heart soaring. She licked her lips. “I thought you’d never ask.”

With her eyes fixed on his throbbing carotid, she leaned down and sank her fangs into his neck. Rune let out a sharp moan as her bite took hold. Then his arms wrapped around her protectively, possessively while she began to drink from him.

And as his blood roared down her throat and into her body’s cells—into her soul—Rune rolled her beneath him and began to make love to her slowly, showing her just how passionate and perfect their forever was going to be.
