"Fuck off, Reaper."

"You are an acerbic creature."

"Screw you."

"And dramatic."

"Fuck my life," I moan as I pull my hand away to cradle my head. "It's not even ten in the morning and I feel like I need a bottle of tequila to survive you."

I feel Ashen's warm palm slide across my neck and I close my eyes.

"And I have just the place in mind for that."

Chapter 29

"No. No fucking way," I snarl.

"I get a sense you have a problem with this particular establishment. Care to elaborate on why that might be?"

"Absofuckinglutely not."

"But look at the sign," Ashen says, pointing to the brick building in front of us. His voice is laced with far too much amusement for my current state of hunger to endure. "It says 'Under New Management'."

"Go fuck yourself."

"There are douchebags here. I guarantee it."

"So do I. You're one of them."

"You will find both tequila and lunch. It's the perfect solution."

“I’ve lost my appetite.”

“There’s a co

“That’s fucking gross imagery I never needed in my head.”

“Just a quick little investigation. The link to Semyon is here, I can feel it.”

“If you make me go in there, I will never have sex with you again."

Ashen laughs. The sound is richer and more musical than the song still playing in the car. I turn my gaze from the familiar bar across the street as Ashen leans toward me and rests an elbow on the center console of his car. His eyes make a languid pass of my skin and rest on my lips. "You lie."

I put on my fiercest vampire glare, but it feels like a thin mask. "Do I?"

Ashen shifts out of his seat and prowls across the narrow space of the vehicle. He braces one hand against my door and looms over me.





I smell silk. I smell unlit cigars. I smell the decadent blood that pulses in his neck as he draws near. "Yes, you do," he whispers, letting his breath rest on my skin before he presses his lips to my throat. "And you are terrible at it."

"Why don't we go somewhere else, anywhere else, and I'll show you what a terrible liar I am," I say as Ashen trails a line of kisses down my neck between another laugh. One of his hands flows beneath my shirt, following the lines of my ribs and tracing the scalloped lace of my bra.

"Indulge me."

"I’m trying to indulge both of us."

I feel the smile in Ashen's lips as he kisses my jaw, drawing closer to my mouth. “Vampire,” he purrs, “I need to check the club but I do not want to leave you here alone.”

“Then don’t. Let’s drive away.”

That smile again, it drags across my skin. Ashen’s breath mingles with mine as he kisses the corner of my lips.

“Come with me, vampire, and I promise to make it up to you later.”

My desire is like a planet with a gravitational pull all its own. I let my hands flow up the muscles of Ashen’s arms, over his chest, down his waist. I grab hold of Ashen’s belt and tug his hips closer. He pulls his lips away to search my face as I release the clasp of the buckle. “Only if you make it up to me now first.”

Carnal fire erupts in his eyes. Ashen stares at my mouth as I drag his zipper down with a slow and teasing hand, tooth by tooth. He looks ravenous, like he can barely restrain himself from tearing the car apart. I bite my lip around a merciless grin and go even slower.

“And how do you propose I make it up to you now?” he asks through a ragged breath as I work the button free on my jeans and pull them down beneath him. I press the button to recline my seat, keeping my eyes on Ashen. He leans down and devours me with his kiss, a growl rumbling in his chest as I wrap my hand around his length and guide him to my opening.

“Fuck me,” I say. My core feels raw and empty with my own words. I’m desperate to have him inside me, to have him fill me, for my flesh to stretch around him. But I wait with the silken tip of his erection paused at my damp entrance, wanting to drive us both mad for a moment longer.

“You know I will not deny you anything, vampire,” Ashen says, and drives into me. I cry out with the intensity of it, the pleasure of it. It’s so much better than what I was aching for. He withdraws to slam into me again, and again and again and again, our kiss urgent, our tongues plundering. He braces himself against the car door and grasps my hip with his other hand, pushing deeper until I’m not sure where he ends and I begin.

A wild thought detonates in my brain, that we could mate right here. It would be a bloodbath. The car would be a write-off. And it wouldn't really be inconspicuous, not that we’re being very inconspicuous right now, fucking in the front seat of his car. The lot we’re parked in might be empty, but who knows if someone might turn up and catch us. But that's part of the allure.

Right now, though, I don’t give a shit about people, or consequences, or the world. It could be burning down around me and I wouldn’t care, because the exquisite thrusts keep coming, over and over, deeper and deeper, drowning me in desperation for more. My bones feel like molten metal, liquid and searing hot. Ashen’s hand moves from my hip to my stomach, then up further still to pull my bra down and run his calloused palm over the smooth skin of my breasts.

“Come with me, vampire,” Ashen murmurs in my ear before burying his lips and his hot breath into the crook of my neck as he drives into me. He’s not talking about the club this time, that much is clear. My hands slide beneath his shirt and press into the thick muscles of his back. I scrape my nails down his skin, drawing blood. He growls into my throat with pleasure and gives a gentle nip to my shoulder.

The scent of blood, the feeling of Ashen’s thickness as he thrusts into me, his hands on my skin and the warmth of his breath as he kisses and bites… it all fuels the engine in my heart to claim him as mine in blood and give my own in return.

My fangs descend and coat my tongue in sweet poison. Ashen drills into me as I fumble with the top few buttons on his shirt until I can pull the collar past his shoulders. My lips carve a path of cool kisses from his clavicle to his neck. I open my mouth above his jugular and let my teeth and tongue graze the salty sweetness of his skin. Ashen groans at the caress of my fangs and his thrusts grow stronger, his thickness filling me with every pounding stroke.

“Drink, Lu,” he whispers into my neck. His voice is strained with the effort of holding back as every thrust pushes us closer to oblivion. “Drink and come with me.”

I don’t drink, because I know it’s something I won’t be able to stop if I do. But the idea of it undoes me. An intense orgasm tears through my core and claims my breath from my lungs. Wave after wave, it keeps pulling me under. I drown in a sea of sparks, calling Ashen’s name as he spills into me.

It takes a long moment for our breath to recover. Ashen rests his forehead to my shoulder and I run my fingers through his dark hair, every inhalation filled with his scent. I think I could stay here forever beneath the weight of him, feeling his heart as it thunders in his chest, listening to his whispered adorations. “You are a force of nature,” he says to me. “An elemental force of nature.”

Even though I wish we could stay, we don’t, of course. Life and the world that claims it enter my thoughts as I recover from the desire I just drowned in.

"Come on, vampire," Ashen says as he slips out of me, laying kisses across my face until I smile. "Let's get this done so we can move onto more fun things."
