My fangs sink into her flesh, where her neck meets her shoulder.
And Rune’s human teeth pierce my skin in a matching spot.
It shouldn’t be possible.
It—
My heart stops.
We both freeze.
Her heart has stopped too.
As one.
Liquid chocolate coats my tongue. And I slide my arms under Rune’s back, hugging her to me.
My mate hugs me back.
Bliss coats our bond.
There is no fear. No panic.
I hold her tighter as I swallow.
Rune’s core clenches around me.
And then our heartbeat returns at a gallop.
My ribs ache with the force of it. With the strength of us.
Gravito pulses through the room.
Rune sucks on my neck.
And when she moans, swallowing a mouthful of my blood, I am thrown past the point of no return.
Chapter 44
Rune
Warm honey slides down my throat as I swallow.
And that’s all it takes.
The vibrations rolling out of Vameer and into me.
The blissful heat everywhere we touch.
The stretch. The way he’s stuffed me full.
I come undone.
With blood trickling off my lips, I pull my mouth away from Vameer’s throat and cry out as pleasure crashes over me in waves. The intensity is nearly too much to understand as I tremble.
Fangs slip free of my skin, and Vameer throws his head back.
My senses are cloudy.
