I wrapped my legs around his hips as he pumped into me and ran my hands over the soft skin of his upper back. An intense urge to sink my fangs into him consumed me, and my fangs lengthened, head falling back.
“I’ve never had a woman bring me to shambles as you are now.” His voice was like honey, coating me with comfort.
“I’ve never wanted to bite someone so fucking bad.”
“Don’t fight it. It’s vampiric instinct.” He swung his hair to the side to allow me access, and my pulse blurred my vision. That hunger from last time churned my stomach, and I snapped my gaze to his.
I grabbed hold of him and sunk my fangs into his neck, piercing the skin with an ease I didn’t know was possible. Thick, spicy blood poured into my mouth, and my tastebuds exploded in sync as I catapulted into a blinding orgasm. It rolled through me like violent waves.
I choked out a cry, pulling my fangs out as his dark blood dribbled down my chin.
Thaddeus leaned forward and stilled, two pinpricks slicing into the skin of my shoulder as he came apart alongside me.
He collapsed on top of me as we gathered ourselves.
“That…that…was the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had,” I panted, moving a piece of hair that clung to my sweaty forehead out of the way.
“That was bloody perfect.” He swallowed hard and pushed up off me.
I sat up, and he grabbed the towel on the floor next to the bed that I’d used from my last shower and helped clean me off. He tossed it into the dirty clothes hamper.
I still hadn’t found how anything I threw in there ended up clean in the closet the next day, but I figured it was the pixies.
Thaddeus stepped back into his pants and headed toward the door without another word.
My mouth fell open. “You’re just going to leave?”
He hesitated. “I’m sorry. I can’t stay any longer, love.” Turning back around, he walked back over to me and pulled me in for a lingering kiss. “I’ll see you tomorrow bright and early. You’re going in front of the Order in a few hours.”
And just like that, he high-tailed it out of the room.
I snorted. I shouldn’t be upset. He’d told me before we fucked this would happen.
“Meow! Meow! Grrr.”
“Oh!” I shuffled over to the bathroom and opened the door to reveal a pissy-looking Jax. “I’m sorry, baby.”
He glared at me before prancing over toward the bed and sniffing the air.
“Don’t judge me, all right?” I huffed. “It was fantastic sex.”
He gave me a low growl and sat down on the floor beside the bed with a look.
I sighed, throwing my hands in the air. “Fine. I’ll change the bedsheets.”
He gave me an approving meow, and I set to work changing the sheets with my stomach in knots. Even with the pain of losing my family, Corbin’s death, and the brush off Thaddeus gave me, I had to pull myself together.
Tomorrow I went in front of the Order of the Void, and my fate would be decided definitively.
FOURTEEN
“Kai, did you hear Poppy and Thaddeus last night?” Blaise asked as he brought the glass of coffee to his smirking lips.
Heat rushed up the back of my neck as I shot him a scathing look. “Blaise!”
Kai nodded, pressing his elbows into the kitchen table as he leaned forward like a gossip queen. “Oh yeah. I definitely heard a lot of moaning and groaning.”
“So tight,” Blaise teased.
