“Would you have killed him for me if I asked?”
“Without hesitation.”
I turn and gaze into his eyes. “After we get him out of here, we should fuck.”
Rapha grins. “I thought we had more talking to do.”
“Oh, we’ll do that too, but after you split me in two. Let me get my fam taken care of and then it’s you and me.”
He lightly touches my cheek. “You’re not afraid of me?”
“Far from it, handsome.”
TWENTY-NINE
Raphael
Finally alone!
The night has pushed me to the limits of my control, and I’m desperate to lose myself in Haven’s body and scent.
As soon as the door is closed behind us, he grins, pulling the shirt he’s wearing over his head and tossing it to the floor. “First, I need a shower. Being held captive in a dirty nightclub doesn’t look good on me.”
“Wrong. You still look good enough to eat.”
Haven tilts his head, still grinning. “Could you eat me up, vampire?”
“You have no idea.”
“Hmm,” he murmurs, rubbing against me. “Show me.”
“Oh, I will.” I sweep him off his feet and he giggles as I carry him to the bathroom.
I set him down on the vanity so I can start the shower. When I turn around, he’s gazing at me with heated eyes.
“I’m so curious,” he says softly. “I want to know everything about you.”
“I’ll tell you everything.” I tug my shirt off. Just gazing at him stirs my soul, my vampire pushing to the surface for another taste. “You still smell sweet.”
“That’s good.” He slides off the counter and unbuttons his jeans. “I can’t believe this is my life now.”
“You deserve the world, my beauty. I can give it to you.”
“I already have everything I want.” He unzips my jeans. “Almost everything. All that’s missing is some of this dick.”
I laugh, wrapping my arms around him and kissing his neck. Inhaling his scent, I walk us into the shower, indulging in the softness of his flesh and the thrum of his vein under my lips.
“Now I know why you like to bite,” Haven murmurs, dragging his fingers through my hair. “You really were drinking my blood.”
“Tasting,” I whisper. “Only tasting.”
He slides his hands down my body, tilting his head back to kiss my chin. “But you want more?”
I nod, searching his eyes before twisting us so he’s under the stream of water. His closeness combined with his tempting words draws my beast closer to the surface. Now that I know he is truly my mate, holding back from making him mine for all eternity is proving difficult.
Instead, I focus my energy on washing his body. “I want to erase what happened tonight. You must have been so afraid.”
Haven shakes his head. “Not as much as you’d think. I knew you were coming. I was just scared they would…” He blows out a breath. “You know, touch me before you got there.”
