She froze, not expecting that. After some hesitation, she straightened up, and then pushed her sweatpants down. Her shirt hung to her thighs, but my eyes raked over her bare legs as she stepped toward me.

“The inside of my thigh?” she questioned nervously. “Where do you need me to stand?”

I swiped my tongue over my bottom lip. “I can think of a place where I want you to sit right now.”

Fuck, the thought of tasting her pussy had my dick hardening all over again. But when I raised my gaze to her face, I could tell that now wasn’t the time. She was already more on edge about letting me feed from her. And I fucking needed it.

“Come closer. Put one foot on either side of me,” I told her. “Just press your thigh to my face.”

She did what I said, her posture like a steel rod. This decision was tearing her apart. Now that I knew who she was with, it made sense. They had been trained to hate us. Even more than regular civilians. The fact that she was doing this was still shocking the hell out of me.

“Thank you,” I murmured in a low voice.

She didn’t answer, turning her leg until the inside of her thigh was close to my face. I slid down my fangs, my heart pounding out of my chest as I leaned forward slightly, letting them graze her skin. A shiver ripped through her, and I heard her breath catch when I lightly kissed her. If I thought she could handle it, I’d drag this out just so I could kiss her more. But she wasn’t ready.

My nostrils flared when I caught another scent that wasn’t her blood. She wasn’t wearing any panties. Jesus fuck.My face was inches from her pussy, but I forced myself to focus on feeding. I carefully bit down, trying to be gentle—something I’d only ever done one other time. And that was the first time I fed on her. Usually, I didn’t care how rough I was. But I did with her.

I sucked softly, relishing in the taste of her blood. It was just as sweet as it smelled, and I groaned, swallowing a large amount before sucking some more. My body was already buzzing, my strength quickly returning, even from this small amount. I wouldn’t be at my full strength, but it would be enough to last me a few more days.

It took everything to pull myself away after I drank some more. I didn’t drink near enough to affect her, but I didn’t want to chance it. She stepped away from me, tugging her pants up quickly, her face flushed as she glanced at me.

“You have…” She trailed off and kneeled beside me before brushing her thumb over my lips to wipe off her blood. “You can’t tell anyone I did that, Zan. They wouldn’t like it.”

I grinned. “Are we trading secrets now?”

Footsteps began coming down the stairs, and my lips turned down in a frown when there was a banging on the door. I wasn’t fucking ready for her to go yet.

“Kali.” Warner’s voice came through the door. “Why is this locked? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” she called out. “I’ll be out in a second.”

“Stay away from Garrett,” I warned her again. “I’m serious, Kali.”

She didn’t respond, almost looking likeshedidn’t want to leave. But after a moment, she stood back up and muttered a goodbye before unlocking the door. Warner shot me a glare before the door shut again, and they both went upstairs.

I rested my head against the pole, listening to them talk as they moved into another room upstairs. Her blood had worked, and I felt a hundred times better. If I wanted, I’d be able to get out of this the next time they undid my chains to make me shower. I could kill Garrett and the other guy who usually came down with him before they knew what was happening.

But I could be patient for a while longer. Maybe I could convince Kali to go with me willingly before I decided to leave.

Kali

“What’s going on?” I asked Tim. “Why can’t I go down there?”

Tim crossed his arms. “They’re talking to him.”

“I thought he wasn’t saying anything,” I said, glancing at the basement door.

“He’s not,” Tim gritted out. “But he’s giving you small things. Nothing about his father or brothers. Important locations. We need all of that.”

“I’ll get it,” I promised.

His face softened, and he patted me on the shoulder. “I’m not blaming you, Kali. Of course we know you’re trying. And it must be so hard to face him after being with him for two weeks. We appreciate your work for us.”

The back of my neck flushed as I thought about what I’d done with Zan yesterday. Getting off against his dick was not benefiting the Clovers. Neither was letting him feed from me. What the hell was I thinking?

“You okay?” Tim asked with concern.
