“Repeat after me.My blood.My passion.My life.”
The vows echoed through the chamber.
Gareth drank from the chalice then handed it to her.Without hesitation, Adalyn consumed the contents.The warm syrupy liquid slid easily down her throat.When she gave it back, her wrist tingled and without thinking, she removed the towel and unfurled her hand.Right before her eyes, the wounds sealed shut.Gareth took her hand and ran the pad of his thumb over the disappearing scratches.
“Blood of my blood.Life of my life.”
The last vows were said, then she willingly bared her throat and Gareth sank his fangs into her skin to feast.Euphoria filled her.Gareth settled deep in her soul.Their heartbeats merged into one tempo.
She was now and forever, his.
Chapter Sixteen
Gareth lifted her andcarried her over the threshold.Adalyn placed her palms on both sides of his face to kiss him on the lips, but in a matter of seconds, Gareth took over.Wrapping one arm around her waist, he held her against him, sinking the fingers on his other hand in her hair as he angled her head so that their mouths aligned perfectly.He walked to the bedroom.
“You’re mine, Adalyn.”The declaration was low and guttural.“Say it.”
“I’m yours,” she whispered.
“Damn right.And I’m yours.”
Clothes were wrestled off in between kisses.Gareth thrust his fingers inside her tight pussy and found that spot that had her writhing in pleasure.His thumb rubbed her clit, and she couldn’t hold back.Her moans of ecstasy echoed through the bedroom.Suddenly, he rolled them, and she found herself on top, staring down at him.
“Ride me,” he urged.
He lifted her hips up until she aligned with his rock-hard cock, sinking slowly down.In this position he filled her differently.Bigger.Harder.Hitting places that had her pulsing with exhilaration.Trying hard to control her orgasm.He guided her as he relentlessly thrust into her, again and again, until sweat beaded on their skin.Until her control shattered and the climax consumed her as she screamed his name.Then he chased his own, groaning as he filled her.

“What happened withyour palms?”he asked.
The scrapes were healed but the memory of them lingered.She couldn’t dismiss them.
“I fell.”
His gaze narrowed.“You know, I can now feel when you lie.”
