Smiling against his lips, I respond, “I’m no stranger to a little blood.”

Diving back in I moan and his chest rumbles in satisfaction.

My shirt quickly finds itself on the ground and I urgently push his up and off his head needing to feel more of his skin against mine. His cock is hard underneath my ass, and I’d lovenothing more than to take it out of the confines of his jeans. He teases his fingers down my body and under the waistband of my pants.

“Zav,” I gasp when one of his long fingers finds itself along the seam of my panties.

“What does my girl want?” Another teasing stroke. “Tell me. I’m yours.”

He breathes deeply against my neck and a need I didn’t know could be this strong fills me.

“Bite me,” I murmur.

Zav stills and I whimper pushing myself against him, needing more friction.

“You don’t know what you’re asking for.” His voice is raspy, and I can tell he’s slowly losing control. Just how I want him.

“It won’t change me into a vampire will it?” I question.

“Well no but ...” He trails off with obvious desire in his eyes fixed on my neck.

“I trust you.” I pull his head snugly against my pulsing throat and encourage him to do what we both so badly want. “Bite me, Zavier.”

CHAPTER 32

ZAVIER

I’m hanging on by a thread. My control is a flickering flame that will go out any second now, throwing me into darkness. I would never hurt Celine, but I’m afraid of what my instincts will make me do with my mate squirming and pleading beneath me.

“Wait.” As much as it pains me to stop, my dick screaming at me, I have to tell her the truth before taking this plunge. I haven’t wanted to overwhelm her, finding out I’m a vampire is enough to send any sane human screaming, so I’ve wanted to be cautious approaching this topic.

“Hmm?” Celine’s confused gaze is cute.

Lust is written across her features, and I can’t help brushing a stray hair out of her face.

“I haven’t been completely honest with you,” I stall.

“You’re not a vampire you actually shift into a hamster?” she replies dryly.

Faster than she can track, I bend her over my knee and give her ass a slap. She cries out but by the smell of her arousal I can tell it's just fueled the fire.

Good to know.

“No, you sassy thing. I am indeed a very sexy, very humble vampire.” I stroke her butt over the spot I slapped. “It’s something other than that,” I say slowly.

Don’t be a pussy, Zavier. Tell her.

I help her up until she’s facing me. I need to gauge her feelings on this.

I blow out a breath and adjust my glasses where they’ve slipped down my nose.

Spit it out,I command myself.Just say it.

The words tumble out of me in a blur. “You’re my mate. We’re mates.”

Silence.

“What did you say?” she asks, nose scrunching in confusion. “You said that so fast I didn’t catch a single word.”
