Or his.

Like the sun, I want to bask in our love for eternity.

His fear fleeing, I become aware of something new awakening inside him. Something that’s been starving for this moment.

It creates a warm, liquid languidness that spreads through my limbs. Urging me to give into him.

To accept him.

All of him.

I gasp at the sensation, and Raphael tears his mouth away to kiss his way hungrily down to my neck.

His fangs scrape at my skin, and I long to have his bite. To have those fangs sinking into my flesh.

To feel that connection.

But he denies me, continuing his path downward.

When his mouth closes around my nipple, my spine comes up, off the bed.

With a growl, he pushes me back down.

His tongue lashes at me, the hunger awakened inside him growing stronger by the second and pulsing through our bond.

Becoming my hunger, too.

My hands grab at his shoulders, my nails digging into his skin, as I try to push his mouth harder into me.

He nips at my nipple, piercing it with the tip of one fang, and a zap of electric sensation courses through me, settling in my core.

Then he does it to the other one.

The blood in my veins buzzing, I squirm beneath him as he begins to kiss, nip, and suck his way down my stomach.

My clit throbs with the anticipation that he’ll put his mouth on it again.

Once he reaches my mons, though, he kisses a path toward my hip and grabs me by the back of my knee.

Then he strikes lightning fast and his fangs sink into the meat of my thigh.

There must be a venom in his bite, I think to myself as he pulls back a hard suck that feels like he’s tugging on my clit.

Chuckling inside my head, he drops my leg and grabs the other one.

“There’s no venom in my bite, my stars,” he says.

Then his fangs pierce me again.

My clit aches this time at the tugging sensation, dying to be touched.

Knowing exactly what I want through the bond, he slides his fangs out of me and purposely takes his time kissing and licking his way up my thigh.

Then, when he finally reaches where I need him, he takes a heartbeat to push his nose against my pussy and breathe me in.

“Fuck, you smell delicious…” he purrs.

Reaching down, I grab him by the hair and whine at him.
