His chest rose and fell as he stared at me. “Unlock me. The key is in my nightstand.”

I stared at the golden hue of his eyes and then leaned over and opened his nightstand. The key was the only thing inside. And I couldn’t help but wonder how good this system was if he could only chain up one of his wrists himself and still reach the key in his nightstand…

But he didn’t think straight when he was hungry. I knew that. Or he wouldn’t have bitten me so hard.

I straddled him and unlocked one of his wrists and then the other.

He rubbed the red mark encircling one of his wrists as he stared at me. And then he put his hand on the center of my chest and pushed me backward onto the bed. “There is something just as sweet that I’ve been craving.”

Before I had time to even be a little worried, he buried his face between my legs, thrusting his tongue deep inside of me.

Fuck.

He feasted on me as if my pussy was the blood he craved. And the taste of blood on his tongue must have disappeared with each swirl of his tongue. Yet he didn’t stop.

His hands slid to my ass and he lifted me up for better access.

My back arched from the new angle. I was so close.

He groaned like my wetness was the most delicious thing in the world.

And the next time he rotated his tongue in a slow circle my body shuddered. I felt my pussy pulsing around his tongue.

And he kept his mouth firmly against me. Lapping up all my juices until I caught my breath again.

“So fucking sweet.” He lowered my ass back to the bed. His golden eyes locked with mine.

If he liked that almost as much as he liked blood, the cure wouldn’t change a thing.I hope.

Chapter 9

Friday

Otto kissed my forehead.

I could really get used to waking up like this. I smiled and opened my eyes.

He was standing by the bed already fully dressed. I loved the way his dress shirt hugged his lean muscles. And the way his sleeves were rolled up, showing off his forearms. I sighed. He was so freaking handsome.

“Sorry to run out on you so quickly, but I gotta go,” he said. “Do you want me to grab you something to eat before I head out? We have bagels I think.”

I shook my head. “What time is it?”

“Time for me to open up the bank before Bennett loses his shit. Text me later and we can figure out lunch.” He started walking out of the room.

“Wait.” I sat up. “Were you guys able to grab some of my things for me?” A leather catsuit in the morning wasn’t as fashionable as one at night.

“Yeah, I think we left your stuff downstairs. I’ll see you later.” He smiled and walked out of his room.

Otto said he was opening the bank this morning, so did that mean the other four guys were downstairs? I was used to waking up to Otto. He’d spent the night at my place plenty of times. But I wasn’t used to waking up to all of the guys. I ran my fingers through my hair asI climbed out of bed and hurried into the bathroom. I’d fallen asleep with my makeup on and I was actually grateful. I had that morning-after look going on, especially since I was wearing Otto’s t-shirt. And there was nothing sexier than looking like you just had sex. Even though Otto and I hadn’t.

I smiled. He’d just held me all night because he knew I was scared. Again I had the oddest sensation of feeling so safe here. Despite what had happened with Titan only several hours ago.

I wandered out of Otto’s room. The hardwood floor on my bare feet was cold. But my high-heeled boots did not go with my look. I heard voices as I walked down the stairs. I turned into the kitchen and was surprised by the utter chaos of their morning.

Ace accidentally bumped into Huxley and spilled some coffee onto the floor. Otto ducked under Titan’s arm, almost knocking Titan’s plate over. Otto had a bagel hanging out of his mouth. He pulled his satchel over his shoulder and turned toward me. I could tell he was smiling even though I couldn’t see his mouth.
