Why would an incubus go without feeding? And if he willingly made the choice to abstain, why would he break his celibacy with me?
Reign’s gray eyes are mesmerizing as he smirks. “I can’t help but wonder if you taste as sweet as you smell. You’ve had my blood. I simply wish to taste your lips.” He brushes his lips over mine and shoves his tongue into my mouth with little warning.
Wow. He’s smooth, like a super sexy fae seductress. Wait, is that a gender-specific term? What is it for men? Seducer? Seductor?
He’s like a super sexy fae seductor. Hell, I don’t know if that’s right, but he’s such a skilled kisser, all rational thoughts bleed away.
My hands land on his shoulders, pulling him closer, and one even threads up and into his hair. His skin feels cool compared to mine as he lowers, pushing his weight into me deliciously. He’s so damn playful as he devours my mouth like I’m the most delicious thing he’s ever tasted.
The shaved back of his head feels soft against my fingers, but my other hand digs into his hard and muscular back.
He nips at my lower lip, teasing his tongue over Seiran’s bondmark. “Tell me, darling, does it send a pulse through the bond if someone other than Seiran licks his bite?”
“Yes,” I gasp, nodding.
He nuzzles his nose to mine while his hand drags down my side. “Good to know.”
My legs clench around his narrow waist, and I blink like an idiot when I realize his heavy cock is what rests against my core.
That’s an impressive dick.
It’s got some serious weight behind it.
My eyelashes flutter, seemingly of their own accord. Weight equals girth and probably considerable length, based on feelingalone. I was never great at math or science, but I’m confident being stretched around him would be life-changing.
“You’re adorable.” Reign chuckles, and I vaguely wonder if I said all of that aloud. “Seiran means a lot to me. He looks after everyone else with little care for himself. He deserves to be happy. You’re going to be good for him.” His words make my heart race. “He knew he couldn’t be here, so he asked me to watch over you.”
“Yeah?” I ask, swallowing thickly. That’s incredibly sweet.
“Indeed,” Reign says softly. “Like most fae, I grew up in a pack. I never much saw the appeal of sharing once I came to the human realm, but you?—”
Agony like I’ve never experienced rips through every cell in my body simultaneously. A pained scream escapes my lips as I jolt under Reign.
“Greer, what’s wrong?” he asks, sounding alarmed. “Darling?”
Using my hand in his hair, I tug his head to the side. My fangs slip out as everything gets hazy, and I strike his throat before I can stop myself.
I don’t have the chance to apologize or correct my atrocious behavior.
Everything goes black.
Chapter Sixteen
Novak
The siren should have enough of my venom flowing through her veins to easily facilitate her transformation, but we’re lacking one major piece of the puzzle. She needs human blood before she can slumber. At least her scent no longer holds the same hint of decay that it did before I spent the last fifteen minutes dosing her.
If Seiran doesn’t get back soon, I may have no choice but to use Newton. However, I’m not sure I’m willing to lose my favorite groundskeeper.
My stomach twists as something deep inside me rebels at the thought of losing Greer. She’s mine now, and I’ll do whatever is necessary to ensure her survival.
If I wasn’t needed here, I would have gone searching on my own to procure a human.
I’ve never seen Seiran kill anyone, and I truly don’t think he has it in him. Luring an innocent human to their death isn’t something I would expect from him, but if he wants to keep his bonded mate alive—at least, in some capacity—he better get over his moral qualms, real fucking fast.
Greer whimpers, her entire body shivering. She’s still burning up compared to my baseline temperature.
Tucking my arm around her middle, I pull her back closer to my chest. It feels unsafe to dose her with any more of my venom, so I brush my lips over her cheek. “You are a bundle of trouble wrapped up in one beautiful package. Aren’t you, sweet girl?”
