“No, but you can reap mypowers.”
He reared back, tearing free of her grip. “What?”
She rolled her eyes. “I’ll excuse you for not being aware ofthatbecause of everything that occurred. Dagan, I saw—Iknow. You not only taste food through my blood, you also harvest my powers when you take my blood. It’s how you broke through the force field surrounding Samael and me. Furthermore, it’s one surefire way to get this churning power inside me down a level, too, Ithink.”
He stared at her, shock brightening his beautiful eyes. “I did, didn’tI?”
“Yes. At least, this way, you’ll always be gifted with the powers I drain. Though how long it lasts, I guess we’ll have tosee.”
Without a word, he lowered his head and licked her on her pulse point once,twice.
Her breath caught, the feeling so sensual, her heart thudded in anticipation. His mouth pressed against her skin, and his fangs sank deep into her. He sucked hard, a pull she felt all the way to the spot between her thighs. A soft moan escaped her. She rubbed her aching core against his hardening cock. A growl rumbled low in his throat as he fed. All too soon, he licked her skin and pulledback.
“I love you, you crazy, impetuous woman, more than I ever believed possible.” He caressed her face, his eyes filled with tenderness. “You are my smile—my heartbeat—my entire existence. So you damn well better survive this shit. Or I swear on every godsforsaken star that I will find you, and you will besorry.”
She laughed and hugged him with an airtight squeeze. “I love you, too, my dearest barbarian. Now let’s go getAza.”
His gaze skimmed over her, and she knew he was scanning for the churning power inside her, but it had quieted. A sigh escaped him. He nodded and picked up her wrist. “This knot remains open because he hasn’t completed the physical bonding. Don’t engage him, Shae. He gets anywhere near you, he could flashyou—”
“And I’ll flash rightback.”
“Great.” He pinched the bridge of his nose. “Just be safe,okay?”
Her heart melting with love, she stepped out of the closet. Good thing she hadn’t told him what Samael had revealed about Aza and his twisted sexual needs or Club Illudo. Later, she’d tell him.Maybe.
