Page 16 of Tamed By Her Vampire Protector

“Leo,” I chanted as I flew closer to the edge.The Aching fullness was building up into a sweet pressure that was ready to explode in any moment.

The sharp nip at my neck sent me flying over the cliff .As his teeth sank in, I fell into the abyss and broke into a million particles of light.

Each sip of blood he pulled from my neck drew a matching twinge of pleasure directly from my womb.I was nothing but pleasure and sensation.I felt the gentle press of his wrist against my lips.Instinctively, I opened my mouth and lapped at the skin.The metallic tang of his blood was anything but repulsive as I would have expected.

“Mine!”he growled into my neck.

I drank from him as he drank from me.We were an endless cycle of pleasure and need.He reared into me once more before filling me to the brim with his spendings.

“Shh.Stop, Meghan.”

I cried out at the loss as he wrenched his wrist away and withdrew from my body.

“You have to stop before you take too much.”Leo gathered me in his arms and kissed the top of my head.I was as limp as a newborn kitten as I rested my cheek against his chest.

What was that?I couldn’t believe what had come over me and made me want to drink his blood like it was the most delicious wine.

“We are mated now,” he answered.“It is natural for you to desire my blood as I desire yours.Still, it isn’t wise to drink too much.Vampire blood can be intoxicating for humans.”

I sat up and looked at him.How did he read my thoughts?I did not say any of the words in my mind out loud.

“Oh my gods.You just read my mind, just like Amanda and Alex.”

Leo chuckled out loud.“Yes, as much as you can read mine.That’s one aspect of the mating bond,” he said silently in his mind.

I clung to him once again and traced a pattern on his chest.Suddenly, a sense of warmth and peace washed over me like the thickest blanket being wrapped over my body.

It was Leo’s love for me, I realized.

There had only ever been once source of constant in my life, and that was myself.

Until now.

Was I ready to change all that and let him into my heart?

Chapter 7

Meghan

The car was silent but filled with the noise of everything unsaid as Leo drove back to the compound

Though Leo kept stroking the back of my hand as he drove, his reassuring touch could not hide the telltale signs that he was closing himself off to me.

The closer we got to the vampire lair, the more the demonic part of him came out.The human man that I just shared a bed and played house with vanished in front of my eyes.By the time we pulled into the garage, I wasn’t even sure if the previous hours of pleasure were a figment of my imagination.His eyes were as cool and glacial as the first time I met him.

Dante was waiting for us when we arrived.He glanced back and forth at Leo and me, but if he suspected something had happened, he didn’t say anything.

“Alex called an emergency meeting.Just the A-team today.”

His gaze lingered on the fresh bite mark on my neck.Self-consciously, my hand flew up to cover the glaring mark of Leo’s ownership.

“She should come too.”

I didn’t understand what I had to do with anything, but they both started walking without seeing if I was going to follow.I scurried after them, afraid that I was going to become vampire chow again if I fell too far behind.I guess I was going to this meeting too.

Alex was already in the meeting room along with Grant To my surprise, Amanda, Rose, and Lizzy were also present.

The moment we walked into the room, it felt like all eyes were on us.Their gazes zeroed in like lasers on me, or I guess, specifically the mark on my neck marking me as Leo’s mate.
