I moan from the slightest touch against my swollen clit.

The room spins around me, and I’m no longer lying flat on my back. I look down and Dennis is showing off his fangs in an open-mouthed smile. He's waiting expectantly, and I’m positioned right over his face. My cheeks feel hot. I’ve never tried this position before.

I tuck my hair behind my ear.

“Um. I’m afraid I’ll smush you.” My thighs are straddling him, and he grasps my hips to pull me toward him. He kisses me right on my clit.

“I want you to smush me,” he says, his words cool against my slick skin. “Take what you need from me. I’m happy to give it.” He gives me one long lick, then says, “Remember—I don’tneedto breathe.”

He grabs me tight as I lower myself down on him. I feel his approval through the bond and allow myself to let go. I lose myself in finding the perfect pace, circling my hips. Every experience of my past, every insecurity flies out the window as I ride his face. He thinks I’m sexy, and I feel like I actually am from the way he’s responding. I block out anything that isn’t happening between us in this moment; there’s only me and him and the muffled sounds of his pleasure mixing with mine.

I feel the dizzying sensation of my climax climbing through my body, and my head is empty from any thought as I come apart against his tongue and lips. I cry out his name and grab a fistful of his hair.

He lifts my hips a few inches again, giving himself a little space to kiss my pussy and graze his fangs along my inner thighs. I’m completely loose in his arms, fully supported by his hands as a thick heat builds in my low body.

It’s a deep, liquid wanting that makes me feel like melting. I want him to sink his fangs into that beating pulse inside my leg. I feelhimwanting to sink his fangs in, but in one swift movement, I’m lying flat on my belly. His cool, hard body envelops me from behind. His cock is pressing against my ass when he whispers in my ear.

“I think I can take both of our minds off that thirst for a while."

I arch my back for him and feel the head of his dick run down my folds before pushing at my slit. He thrusts into me, and I take all of him. He fucks me roughly while moving his fingers in gentle circles up my arms and down my ribs. He nuzzles his face against the crook of my neck, inhaling the scent of my blood beneath the smoke clinging to my skin and hair. He pins my thighs with his knees and runs his hands over mine until our fingers are interlaced.

I hold on tight as his thrusts grow frantic. I’m all moans and soft mewling as I feel him getting close. Another orgasm rushes from somewhere deep inside me, pulling me under a wave that crashes through my whole body as Dennis licks my neck once before pulling out of me.

He finishes in spurts on my low back and falls into the bed next to me. I lie there for a bit, soaking in the bliss of two orgasms before I roll onto my side to peek at Dennis.

He’s resting his head on one arm.

“Hey,” he says, shifting to pull the silky sheet over us. He smooths the material over my hip with his palm. “You good?”

I nod.

“Yeah. Great.”

He’s still focused on me. My body. We’re both satisfied, but there’s this wide-open hunger in both of us that makes me wonder if we’ll ever stop wanting each other. If the feeling will really just go away in a few weeks.

It doesn’t seem possible right now.

“Should we talk?” I ask him.

His eyes are still heavy-lidded when he answers.

“You banished a demon. That takes a ton of energy. You should rest.” He kisses me softly, his fangs barely brushing my bottom lip. “We have all day to talk, so whenever you’re ready. Nothing you tell me can change anything.”

At first I think he’s making a promise that things will stay solid between us even after I tell him about my dreams. Then I realize he’s talking about the past and the people he can’t bring back.

I kiss him between his eyebrows and duck down to snuggle against his chest. It works to drive the faint whispering of loneliness away.

Dennis is a good guy—a goodvampire, and even though this thing is temporary, it feels good to give in to it. I fall asleep thinking that I kind of like being a flickering flame in the endless night of his life.

RULES FOR VAMPIRE NIGHT CLUBS

The baby’s wails grow louder, breaking off with sobs and sputtering coughs. I follow the sound, knowing I have to move in this direction. I try to freeze in place, but my feet keep moving forward, drawn to the force pulling me to this room.

I know what I’ll see when I open the door; I’ve seen it all before. My gut tells me not to look, but I grasp the knob and turn it anyways.

Dennis doesn’t notice me. Even if he could see me, I don’t think I could pull his attention away from the woman lying limp in his arms.
