But I have always enjoyed danger.Working on scaffolding three stories high without a safety harness.Going hiking on my own and taking only uncharted trails.Begging my dad if I could go on ride-alongs with him in his patrol car.
Danger excites me.
But I have never been a fan of blood.
When I crawl back behind the panels and make sure to slide it shut behind me, I need to flick on the flashlight as I creep towards Shadow’s bed again.
The bright light floods the space, illuminating Shadow lying on his side facing the wall.He is right in front of me.
“Argh!Jesus Christ!”My scream turns into a wail as I see the damage on his back.“Shadow!What the fuck?!”
His back has a hole in it.A hole so wide I could fit my fist into it.And I think I can see the organs.For one moment, I lose my senses and collapse onto the floor.The flashlight rolls away.
I am left in the semi-dark with that… thing.
Shadow’s hand reaches out for me.I must love him because I don’t shrink away when he touches me.
“Sorry, honey.I should have covered up the wounds for you.I’m healing slowly because I don’t have fresh blood.”
Time for my big romantic gesture.If Shadow has any doubt about my feelings for him, he will be completely convinced after this.
“Move over.Let me lie close enough for you to feed.”Shadow moves closer to the wall with his back against it so that I can’t see the shotgun wound anymore.
Honestly, the invigorating property of some good home-cooked food cannot be overstated.I think the multivitamin helped, too.I feel strong enough to withstand Shadow’s insatiable appetite.
And I can’t deny that he looks insanely hot lying in bed with just his briefs on.The briefs are pulled low on his lean hips, with the large pouch packing carnal delights I have no trouble remembering with sweet intensity.Shadow is brutally hot, and nothing can ever change that about him.
He looks worried as I make myself comfortable next to him by taking off my coat and sweater.
“Are you sure about this?What if your heart starts fluttering again?”
“Then you will stop.A little is better than nothing at all, don’t you agree?”
Our bodies are pressed close together.I swear I can smell a hint of gunpowder on Shadow’s marble skin.The anticipation of sucking me has aroused him.The rampant bulge in his tight briefs shows me how his cock is straining to escape its confined pouch.
Typical man.Nothing ever stops them from craving sex.
“This is going to hurt a bit, Luna,” he explains to me, “because your body is not flooded with endorphins from the orgasm.”
“Shut up and suck me, you fool.”He sees my smile and knows I am teasing him.
He kisses me and my heart races.
Acute desire rises inside me.This man makes me crave for him on a compulsive level.Even injured, he wants me in the same way, too.
He is a barbarian warrior, a deadly gunslinger cowboy, and a rough Rider.
All my fantasies come to life.
As his kiss deepens, my body begins to squirm with sexual excitement.I cross my legs to try and stop it from happening, but it is already too late.The feminine instinct that longs for male domination and penetration is awakened.
Shadow can sense this happening.
“You like that?”His tongue probes my mouth and licks my upper lip before he clamps my lower lips between his teeth.The sharp incisors press down on the plump flesh, giving me a taste of what is to come.“You want more?”
The affirmation sighs out of me.“Yeesss.Please.”
The sound of my jeans zipper pulling down echoes off the panels.One tug and my jeans are down around my ankles.
