Page 76 of Always Eros

“You say Hades a lot. Who is that? A god or something?”

He nods. “God of the underworld. A place believed by some to be where souls go when their earthly journey is over. I do not worship him, only revere him.”

“Cool.” I bite my bottom lip. “So, yeah? A little bite is good?”

“I would take a mere pinprick if that’s all I could have.”

As his eyes glow and his voice grows thick, my cock reacts, twitching. Oooo-kay, I’m turned on by Eros in vamp mode. Good to know.

“Where do you want to bite me?”

His eyelids flutter as he clears his throat. “I think the wrist is a good place for you.”

“But that’s not where you want to bite me, is it?”

“No. If left to my own desires, I would drink from your elegant neck, or your supple thighs, but for a first taste, your wrist is more than beautiful.”

“You are a poet, aren’t you?”

“Inspired by you, a most perfect muse.”

I lift a shaky arm, offering my wrist. “Taste me then, my poet.”

Eros’s glowing gaze holds mine, and as he gently grips my arm, he opens his mouth to reveal very long, very sharp, very white fangs. I guess at least I know he’s not making up weird shit. This man is a legit vampire.

“My darling, Justice,” he whispers, still holding my gaze. “What a joy and a gift you are in this dark world. You are my sun and I your earth. My entire existence revolves around yours.”

With those sweet words, he sinks his teeth into the fleshiest part of my wrist. I’m expecting pain but instead it’s almost the opposite of that. Like a mild sting, immediately replaced by feelings of cozy warmth. I gaze into his eyes as he drinks from me, and it’s not gross at all. It’s weirdly beautiful.

After only a few seconds, Eros pulls back, licking my wrist, and I watch in amazement as the two puncture wounds instantly heal.

“It’s over?” I ask.

“It has to be for now.” His lips are tinged red, and somehow he’s even more attractive.

“How do you feel now?”

“Indescribable.” He lifts my arm again, dotting sweet kisses along my skin. “I expected your essence to be as sweet and compelling as you are, but there are no words to explain it.”

“In a good way?”

“Oh, my darling, you are delicious. The nectar of gods.”

“Okay sexy, romantic angel. Can we make love now?”

He smiles. “Absolutely.”

Eros scoops me up effortlessly and carries me to his bedroom. He tosses me on the bed, and I shiver as he pulls his shirt over his head. His eyes still glow, and his teeth are still fangs.

“Are you gonna stay like that?”

He nods. “I have no choice. My desire for you is too strong to hold back.” He unbuttons his pants. “But I won’t bite again. I promise.” Eros grins. “Unless, of course, you invite me to.”

I shiver again, kicking off my shoes and tugging my socks off while Eros lets his pants drop to the floor. He’s completely naked, and the sight of him makes my mouth water.

“Holy shit,” I murmur. “You are unbelievable.”

“Do I please you, my treasure?”
