Page 76 of A House of Fangs & Deceit

My gaze rose from the ground as if pulled in. The way the corners of his lips curled up told me he knew exactly what he was doing by saying my name like that.

He tilted his head. “We both know you need to feed.”

“I’ll ask Nyx when I get back.” I licked my lips and took a step forward before catching myself and forcing my feet to remain rooted. “You should go.”

Every part of me wanted to sink my fangs into Kieran. Theneed was so intense that I was having a hard time thinking about anything else, which was exactly why I shouldn’t do it. The bond I was forming with Kieran was too much, and it was happening too fast.

I needed to calm the fuck down, but instead, I took another step closer. Then another, and another, until I found myself directly in front of him.

“And if I want to stay?” Kieran’s eyes were ablaze as he stared down at me.

“Things will change between us.” My desire to claim him was so strong, this was so far beyond the normal bloodlust I felt. It took every ounce of my willpower, but I forced myself to take a step back. “I’m sorry. You make me want things… and I have no right to ask that of you yet.”

He stepped forward, reclaiming the distance I had put between us. “Ask whatever you want of me. It’s yours.”

“Are you sure?” I rasped. “And think carefully, because we both know I’m a possessive bitch, and I know it’s not fair because I’m not ready to commit to you and only you just yet. But if I taste your blood…” I closed my eyes and inhaled his rich and decadent scent before snapping my eyes open once more. “If I taste you, then you aremine.”

The gold in Kieran’s eyes spread, drowning out the hazel as he pressed down on the black gem that adorned his left pinkie finger, causing a blade to pop out. I watched with rapt attention when he dragged the blade down the side of his neck, leaving behind a trail of blood.

My nostrils flared as the scent hit me.

“I have always been yours, Sam.”

The last of my control snapped, and I leapt forward.

Kieran caught me as I wrapped myself around him, one arm around my back holding me close while the other cupped my ass. My fangs sank into his neck, and he let out a deep groan and gripped me tighter against him.

He lowered us to the ground, settling on his back with me on top. I drank deep as I ground my hips against his, loving the way he hissed every time I did it. The rich, full taste rushed across my tongue and down my throat, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever felt this alive. Kieran’s blood was the most delicious thing I’d ever tasted. It was wickedly divine.

My main source of blood these last few years had been Demetri. I’d tried to make it fun whenever we’d had to feed from each other, but it’d been nothing like this.

“Fuck, Sam,” Kieran breathed out.

One hand was still gripping my ass, but the other had slipped beneath my shirt. I continued to drink deep as his hand made a blazing path up.

Just as I pulled my fangs out from his neck, Kieran ran a thumb over my pebbled nipple, and I threw my head back with a moan. My body was tight with need, and I wanted his hands on me more.

Nimble fingers unbuttoned the leather vest I’d been wearing before Kieran pulled it off me. My shirt was next, and Kieran wasted no time once my breasts were free. He pivoted up and sucked a nipple into his mouth. I shuddered and arched my back further.

When he moved to give my other breast the same attention, I pawed at his clothes, untying the various knots. He nipped at my skin before leaning back and pulling his vest and shirt off. I frantically tugged at his pants, but Kieran grabbed the back of my thighs and flipped me onto my back.

My remaining clothes were gone in a flash, and I arched my back when Kieran buried himself between my thighs and dragged his tongue up my pussy before sucking on my clit.

“Fucking hell, you’re good at that,” I said through panted breaths.

I licked the remnants of Kieran’s blood from my lips as his fingers plunged inside me. There was nothing gentle about hismovements as he pumped them hard and fast. My hands clenched the blanket beneath us, tension building in my core.

“Tell me how good I am,” Kieran purred before swirling his tongue around my clit.

I whimpered as the pleasure started to become too much. Just as I was about to go over the edge, his tongue vanished, and he pulled his fingers out.

“FUCK!” I screamed and glared at him.

The asshole just laughed and plunged two fingers back in while taking up an irritatingly slow pace.

“Tell me, Sam.” His golden eyes bore into mine as he demanded again, “Tell me how much you love me fucking you.”

His thumb just barely grazed my clit, and a moan slipped out of me.
