“We knew each other before Black Hearts?” I asked, with hesitation.
I got the impression from the last cryptic conversation with Liam that we might have. The idea of not knowing a huge chunk of my own life was terrifying.
“We didn’t, but we did meet,” he admitted. “Don’t be afraid. I’ve never touched or had you before last night.” My confusion must have shown on my face, because he caressed my cheek. “One encounter. That was it.”
“And you looked for me?” After one encounter?
“Yes, because you disappeared on me. I put you somewhere, and you just up and left one day.”
“Why did you take my memories?”
“Because you witnessed us drinking from blood bags at the hospital and freaked the fuck out.”
“You said you didn’t like the taste of those.” I narrowed my eyes.
He smiled. “That was the day we found out we didn’t like them.”
“Can I have my memories back now?” I asked him.
“Tomorrow,” he promised.
I studied the way he held my hand in his so fiercely. “There’s more to the story, isn’t there?”
“Yeah, there’s more.” I liked he didn’t deny me the truth. “I wouldn’t have taken them that night if you would’ve been able to accept us. You need to know that. But you weren’t in the right headspace to trust three strangers drinking blood.”
My stomach churned. Why? Fear of the unknown. Fear of how it’d make me feel now. Not because I didn’t trust Liam. “I believe you,” I told him.
“I’ve wanted nothing but you since I saw you.” Liam pulled me closer and nuzzled my ear and neck. “It’s like you’ve been the missing puzzle piece to my existence, Jayne. I have no beating heart or soul, but around you, I’m whole.”
I’m whole.
What a perfect way to describe those emotions inside me. When he neared, gravity stopped, my lungs stopped, and my heart became whole. Complete. Lowering my head to his chest, I wrapped him in my arms.Let me be silly. Let me be stupid.I believed him. Nothing had felt truer than him.
With a shaky breath, I let Liam lead me toward the bed. He flopped down. Reaching out, he glided my panties down so that I could step out of them. He kissed my navel before pulling me down to his lap. My bare pussy met the thick erection in his pants. He inhaled me, starting at my collarbone, and I shuddered. Sweet God, I wanted that vampire to devour me.
“Bite me,” I urged him, squeezing his shoulders as I exposed my neck. He gripped my hips tightly, a slight tremble in his arms. When he did nothing for the longest time, I turned my head enough to peek at him. His eyes were molten black, fangs revealed. Drool slid off his bottom lip. He looked… Unhinged, like a rabid animal. And so hungry. So why did he wait?
I licked my lips. “Liam?”
“I’m just looking,” he murmured. A hint of awe was in his voice.
It tantalized me, knowing that his purpose was all about me.
“I’ll never be able to go back. Nothing will be the same.”
I wasn’t sure what he meant, but he seemed positive.
“You’ve ruined me, Jayne.”
With his fangs bared, Liam leaned closer and licked his tongue over my skin. Then liquid fire shot through my bloodstream as his teeth pierced me. I moaned. He groaned and tightened his hold on my hips. Pleasure zinged down my stomach like lightning. My pussy tightened for Liam’s cock. My need pulsed like a beating heart. Liam rocked against me like he sensed my clit throbbed for him.
“So hot,” I murmured as I tried to keep my arms wrapped around him. It was hard, though. The bite made me weak and so incredibly horny. My arms slackened a little. “I feel so empty… Liam, please.”
He threw his head back with an exhale. His eyes were black pools, and lips red, tinged with my blood. He looked primitive. My blood trailing down his chin was the filthiest thing I’d ever seen, but also the sweetest sin. “You’re the purest addiction.” He gulped. “You’re so fucking tasty.”
His mouth crushed mine, and I experienced the metallic flavor. It wasn’t pleasant, but the kiss drowned out the nastiness. After a while, all I got was the spicy tinge of him as our tongues clashed.
His hands left my hips and worked to unzip his jeans as I smothered him with kisses and licks up and down his neck. I moaned when he pushed his pants down and his cock rubbed against my clit. Caressing my ass cheeks, Liam lifted me up.
