“ U gh,” I groan, gently shoving away Echo’s arm. His fingers slide in and out of my slick, very satisfied, pussy. “Why are you so annoying? I was enjoying that nap.”

Echo laughs a little ominously. “Oh, baby darkling. You let me fill you full of my cum. I need to keep it where it belongs. Let’s pray we aren’t summoned by the council until my scent fades from your body.”

“Um, fuck them. Who I’m intimate with is none of their goddamn business,” I hiss, slapping away his hand that’s still playing in a mixture of our juices.

Echo isn’t fazed in the least. He continues shoving his cum back inside my body. “Don’t be a difficult darling,” he says with a smirk. “How am I to seed your belly if you don’t keep my cum inside your womb?”

I sit up, slapping his hand away. “You’re a vampire. There are no baby vampires. Don’t be ridiculous.”

“No baby vampires recently, but ancients are able to create dhampir.” He grins wickedly. “I’m honored you would consider breeding with me.”

“You’re so full of shit.” I laugh, shaking my head.

He’s not an ancient.

His maker may be one, but he’s not.

Imogen is extremely old and powerful, though. A slight shiver of unease slides through me.

Echo’s face turns deadly serious. “I’m not. Did your council, or lessons, teach you nothing?”

I bring my wrist to my mouth and my fangs slide down.

Echo snatches my hand before I can slice my skin to get blood for an extra refresher on my contraception spell.

“Absolutely fucking not,” he growls, pinning my hands to the mattress above my head. His thick cock notches at my entrance, and he slams his hips into mine, impaling me on his shaft. “You’re going to let me breed you, darling darkling.”

A pathetic whimper I’ll be embarrassed about later escapes. Why is that so hot? It really shouldn’t be. I’m like ninety-nine percent sure my contraceptive spell has me covered, except there’s the fact that my magic has been weird lately.

Echo’s eyes turn white as he fucks into my body in powerful strokes that make me bounce.

The tether between us pulls taut, and I can feel his emotions radiate in my chest. His mouth finds mine as his pelvis brushes my clit on each deep, punishing stroke.

Damn, he’s really got that primal, animalistic vibe down.

He fucks into me like he’s trying to slam me through the mattress, and for whatever reason, it only makes the entire experience a million times hotter.

There is clearly something fundamentally wrong with my wiring since coming to North Falls.

I’ve never had a breeding kink before, but damn, if my pussy doesn’t clench around him at the thought.

The link between us is so clear, it takes my breath away.

The infuriating man is desperate to be loved and wanted, which actually makes me feel like an asshole.

Also, I’m totally not letting a vampire knock me up over some lingering guilt.

Not going to happen. I’ll give him a back rub or something to make up for it, but procreation is a whole different level of commitment.

“Don’t dishonor what we have by trying to use that spell when I’m not around to stop you,” he whispers against my lips. Does the tether allow him to read my thoughts, or am I just that transparent?

All thought bleeds away as he grinds against my clit. My body shivers as my back arches off the mattress. He slams his tip into my G-spot over and over again. One hand pins my wrists to the bed, and the other grips my throat. He twists my head to the side, licking down my neck.

“You know I require your consent to bite you,” he whispers against my pulse.

“And you know that you have it. Consider this explicit permission from here until I rescind it. As long as you make me come hard.”

Echo laughs darkly. “I’ll make you see stars.

” His fangs strike in a vicious bite that burns with a painful ache.

Warmth coats my insides, starting in my neck and pulsing its way throughout my entire system.

My nipples ache as they brush Echo’s chest. My pussy leaks around his thick cock as my pleasure coils tighter and tighter.

His venom makes every pleasure center in my body pulse.

“Oh fuck,” I whimper as he slams into my G-spot just right.

Echo knows exactly how to roll his pelvis to brush over my clit with each rhythmic stroke. A bizarre pang of jealousy hits, but it’s the tether. I shake that shit off and focus on how hard he’s about to fuck my world up.

“Shit, baby darkling,” he says against my throat.

“I’m going to be dripping out of you for days .

You’re already so full of my cum that it spills out on every stroke.

” His fangs retract and his mouth finds mine.

The kiss is dirty and frantic. The way he teases my tongue while slapping into my G-spot sends me over the edge.

Rolling waves of pleasure jolt through my system while he holds me in place. My tits bounce as he slams deep and grinds just right.

“Yesyes yes ,” I sob one long string of begging. “Just like that.”

“Come all over my cock, darling.” Echo growls. “Come for Daddy.”

I’m sure I give him a look that says shut the hell up , or maybe it’s some combination of don’t stop and just a little harder. I can’t be sure what comes across, but he laughs against my cheek, pinning me to the mattress.

“That is so not becoming a thing,” I groan as my body finally starts to settle.

“Mmm, yes, I actually think it is,” he muses, kissing me and speeding up his thrusts. He moves so deeply and so quickly, it pounds my body into an unexpected orgasm. His eyes are lost to his monster, and it turns me the hell on.

His tongue finds mine as I’m coming down from the toe-curling orgasm.

His hard body slams into mine one final time as he comes.

His hand finally leaves my wrist and yanks my head to the side again.

He bites, sucking small sips of my blood as his tongue runs over my neck, and lazily rolls his hips through the jumping of his shaft.

I run my now free hand through his hair as he growls against my cheek.

“I’m surprised the wolf didn’t try to stake me while I was distracted,” Echo murmurs, moving to kiss me. He offers one final peck and rolls to the side before stretching out languidly.

My eyes have a mind of their own as they take in his form. His cock still glistens with both of our juices, and I have the urge to lick it off. Or possibly to climb on and ride him until I come again. I’ve always had a high sex drive, but it’s been a little ridiculous lately.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” Ridge growls. It’s a low, feral sound that sends a shiver down my spine. My eyes fly up and it suddenly makes sense what Echo said. I have no idea when Ridge came in. “We’ve been called to a party at Constantine’s. All fucking three of us.”

Vampires are always pale, but despite his normal skin tone, Echo turns a shade similar to cotton. Yanking the blanket out from under me, I cover up. It’s complicated, because Echo is also lying on it, but I feel entirely too naked right now.

“Bloody fucking hell,” Echo whispers, swiping a hand over his face.

“You need to feed now,” Ridge says. “Shower, then feed. Do everything you can to smother her scent.”

Echo nods. “I’ll do everything within reason,” he says pointedly. My magic is a jealous bitch. Dark shadows immediately engulf his body. Echo laughs. “Don’t worry, baby darkling. I’m very aware of who I belong to.”

My magic pulses with delight, but I frown. I don’t especially like the sound of that. “You aren’t my servant.” I roll to face him. “I’d never take away your free will.”

“For hundreds of years, I served a maker who was very much a vile kind of monster.” He leans in close. “I’ve just been with someone of my own free will for the first time since I was turned.” His hand brushes over my cheek. “Please remember what I said—you and I are a team.”

My heart sinks.

Imogen is going to die before I leave town, even if I have to sweet-talk Wraith into doing it for me.

He’s right.

That bitch is the most vile kind of monster there is.

Echo’s lips brush over mine tenderly, and in a flash, he’s off the bed. “You’ll handle covering my smell, I’d imagine?” He grins at Ridge.

“I’ll do what needs to be done to cover your mistake .” Ridge spits the words.

Echo sighs, shaking his head, and he’s gone in a blink. The closet door opens and slams, and a cool rush of air follows him out of the room.

“I don’t love that you made it seem like he’s a mistake.” I frown, giving Ridge a serious look.

“Come on, little witch. I’ll start the water for you.

” Ridge stomps off toward the attached bathroom and is back before I’m even out of the bed.

He yanks off the blanket and extends a hand.

He pulls me up, nodding to the shower. “Get in. I’ll strip and remake the bed, then join you.

This is going to require some creative thinking to manage. ”

My face flames as I spin around, heading for the warmth of the shower. I don’t even know why.

Ridge is handsome and kind, but I don’t owe him shit. We barely know one another. I grab a towel from the cabinet and toss it on the closed toilet lid before climbing into the shower.

My body aches as I step under the hot spray.

I quickly get to work, cleaning myself up.

Echo’s shower is clean and well-kept, but the entire building is old and has that lived-in feeling of age. The fact that I’m using Echo’s body wash might offset some of his smell, right?

I honestly have no clue.

My sense of smell is practically on par with the average human.

I’m rinsing conditioner from my hair and soaping my body for the third time when Ridge’s warm frame presses against my back.

The rush of cool air that follows him makes me shiver, or maybe that’s due to his warm palm caressing my side and lower stomach. I spin around, and his thick cock brushes my skin. His dark blond hair falls around us as he leans over me.
