“Yours,” Alena says quietly when I pull away from her.

Nodding my head in agreement, I try to force away the more primal urges my body wants to demand of her, but it’s too hard. Her submissive understanding of the word feeds into my very nature.

Pushing the rage back down, I wrap my arms around her.

Frenzies in a newly turned soulmarked are yet another thing that’s not fully understood.

Chloe was almost uncontrollable.

Alena seems more subdued. There’s a yearning inside her… an ache to take care of me as much as she needs to take care of herself.

Both instincts should be at odds with each other, but they’re not.

She’s surrendering herself to what’s happening.

Her plush lips press hard against my own. And I groan at the way she clings to me, like I’m a life preserver in the middle of a stormy ocean.

Alena slides her hand from my chest to my cock. Before I even realize what’s happening, she’s used her nails to rip the pants open at the waist.

Delicate fingers wrap around me and her eyes are hooded with lust as she growls, “Please.”

Some part of me rebels at the thought of her feeling the need to beg me.

But it’s only a very minor part.

I explore the bond. She’s full of need and a desire to please. But she also wants to be loved and taken.

Taken and devoured by me.

I bite down gently on her lip until I draw blood.

Tasting her for the first time as a pure vampire is like tasting the heavens. It’s too powerful to even understand.

Moaning, she nips my lip open to take revenge.

Fuck.

The moans she makes drive me mad.

Forcing her backward, I push her down on the bed and spread her thighs with my knees.

“Do you want me?” I ask.

Looking up at me, she whimpers, “Please.”

“Do you want me?” I growl.

I want to hear her say the right word.

Not please. Not hungry.

I want to hearyes.

Pushing hard on the bond, I long to feel her mind whole again, but it’s simply not there. She’s operating on her most basic needs.

Her most basic desires.

“Please,” she answers again, staring up at me with eyes blazing with desire.
