W hat am I doing?

This is a bad idea.

What if I drain him? Kill him? His blood is too potent, addictive. I’ve only had a taste, and it was heavenly. If he really is my blood mate, that would explain why it tastes so good.

Up until now, I’ve managed not to rip his throat out and take it all.

Maybe he should be the one cuffing me to the bed. Keep my hands secured so I can’t hold onto him while I drink. But that would leave me vulnerable. I’ve heard stories of vampires who relented control only to be staked mid-sex or mid-bite.

I can do this. I’ll be able to stop myself .

“Do you trust me?”

“Yes.”

“You should never trust a vampire.”

He laughs nervously, despite the warning being true.

I take his hand and cuff it to the bedframe, then I climb onto the bed and straddle him to secure his other hand.

“I’m going to blindfold you now. Okay? I want you to rely on your other senses for this.”

Teddy swallows hard, his heart pounds against his chest.

“Don’t be scared ,” I say, teasing him about his earlier confession.

“It freaks me out that you can hear my heart. Vampire hearing is really that good?”

I lean in and lick his lips.

“Yes, and I’m going to need you to calm down.”

Adrenaline filled blood tastes the best. Aroused blood even better.

He’s both.

Mix that with him possibly being my blood mate? Yeah, this is not a good idea.

I’m going to devour him.

“What? Why does your face look like that? Have you changed your mind?”

Okay, you’d think I’d have better control over my facial expressions after all these years. Am I letting my guard down because of Teddy? Because there’s something about him that feels… right?

Because he could be my mate?

Still, I hesitate to trust a human I’ve only known for hours. I may want my life to end, but I will die on my terms.

I take the blindfold and cover his eyes. He sucks in sharply.

“But what if I want to see you?”

I should get tape for his mouth. My adorable little chatterbox.

“No talking.”

A smile spreads across his face at the order, which mirrors what he said to me earlier.

He lets out a shuddering breath when I gently place my lips over his. He tries to slip his tongue past them, but I’m already moving my mouth to his jaw for another soft kiss.

Once I reach his neck, I scrape my fangs over the skin and he moans, his cock jerking underneath me. I move my hips in small circles, sliding my slickness over his shaft.

“Millie,” he groans.

I pinch and twist his nipples, causing him to buck.

“No talking.”

He opens his mouth to defy me but decides against it, clamping his jaw tight .

“Feel my touch.” My palms smooth over his chest and stomach, his body tensing at the icy strokes. “Listen.” I sink my fingers into my pussy, thrusting them in and out. “Can you hear how wet I am for you?” Upon removing them, I bring them up to his nose. “Smell me.”

He sniffs and his cock jumps again.

“Taste me.” I shove the fingers into his mouth, and he licks them frantically.

I adjust myself so I can grab his dick with my free hand and sink down his shaft. He moans around my fingers, then sucks them harder. I start riding him and he tugs on the cuffs, desperate to touch me. He hisses as the metal digs into his wrists.

“You’re being such a good little puppy,” I whisper, removing my fingers from his mouth to bury them in his hair and tug his head back.

My fangs ache with how badly I want to drink from him. I scrape them over the skin of his neck again and he responds by jerking his hips up into me. My pussy throbs around him and my head falls back in complete euphoria.

I’m not going to last long, and I’m guessing neither will he.

I rip the blindfold off. He takes in my black eyes and my fangs peeking out past my lips. He tries to lean in to kiss me, but I tug on his hair again, jerking his head back .

“Look up Teddy.”

He swallows hard, and I watch his Adam’s apple bob.

“You have a mirror over your bed?”

I’m slowly fucking him, trying to pace myself.

“Yes, and I want you to watch.”

“Watch you bite me?”

“Watch me feed from you. Here.”

I stop moving and within a blink of an eye, I’ve broken one of the cuffs to free one of his hands. I grab the knife I set aside and place it in his palm.

“If I don’t stop, stab me with this. It doesn’t matter where.”

“What? No!”

He tries to give it back to me, but I wrap my hand over his, securing the handle in his fist and press it against his chest.

“You won’t kill me, but this will incapacitate me enough to stop me from draining you of life.”

He stares into my eyes, and I can see him thinking.

“What if I want…”

“Teddy, no.” He clamps his mouth shut, the muscles in his jaw rippling. “That’s not how it works. Me draining you of blood means you die, and you don’t come back as a vampire. Turning a human is a process, one I’m not prepared for. Besides, I don’t turn people. ”

“Ever?”

“Ever.”

“Why?”

I start bouncing on his cock again, and he groans. Good. Now is not the time to talk about this.

“Just… hold on to the knife and use it if I can’t control myself.”

“Why wouldn’t you be able to control yourself?”

“Because there’s something special about your blood.”

I don’t give him time to respond and sink my teeth into his neck.
