she reached the waistband of his jeans. Flashing a coy, sensual smile, her fingers sought the evidence of his arousal. He shifted, trying to ease the tension of the tightly stretched fabric containing his throbbing member.
Not able to withstand her play any longer, Dimitri grabbed her shoulders and drew her up his body. Kerstyn settled over him, her hips straddling his, his hardness pressing tightly against her core. She gently rocked back and forth and smiled when he groaned. She leaned down, her tongue tasting his flesh, skipping over his pulse. Dimitri wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer, holding her tightly to him.
“Take from me what you need.”
Her fangs were hot and sharp in her mouth. Her body pulsed with life as her cravings grew. Fire scorched her throat. She was hungry. No. She was starving.
Dimitri arched his neck, pressing himself tightly against her mouth. Her lips parted and white-hot pleasure consumed them both. He tore at his jeans and shoved her skirt up her hips. His hot and tangy blood slipped down her throat as he—

Kerstyn groaned as she rolled over. Her legs sawed restlessly on the bed, her core swollen with desire and need. She glanced at her alarm clock and cursed. Five minutes. She had barely dozed off and she was not surprised her dreams went straight to Dimitri. Pushing herself up, she began to take in deep breaths, trying to slow the frantic beating of her heart. That had been no ordinary wet dream. It had felt incredibly real. Her tongue ran over her lips. She could taste the saltiness of his skin and the sweetness of his blood. Her skin still hummed from the feel of his arms wrapped about her. When her eyes had popped open, she had expected to find Dimitri lying next to her.
“Of course, I had to wake up before the really good part,” she sighed, running a hand through her hair.
Kerstyn was surprised she had drifted off to sleep. The stress and strangeness of the day had set her nerves on end. She was tired beyond belief, but her mind would not rest. She had been sitting on her bed for the past few hours in a daze, her thoughts a tornado of confusion. Her mind kept replaying the scene in the alley. She could see with perfect clarity the bullets falling from Dimitri’s torso and clattering to the ground. Then, once she finally managed to drift off, her thoughts turned erotic.
She stood snagging the blanket that lay in a twisted heap on her bed and dragged her vanity chair out to the balcony. The night was cool on her cheeks and stars peppered the sky as the moon blazed brightly giving life and light to the vast desert below. Wrapping the blanket around her shoulders, she sat in the silence.
Why does life have to be so insane? The last few days had been a test of her sanity. Her friend had thrown her out, she had lost her job, her car was dead, and the man she was living with was a vampire. She swallowed hard as she rolled that word over again in her mind for the millionth time.
Kerstyn rubbed the back of her neck and willed herself to relax as she once again thought about the ride home. She had sat in a daze, her eyes staring unseeingly out the window. Her voice was gone and when he whipped the Bentley through a Carl’s Jr. drive-thru for her, all she could do was nod when he read the menu to her.
Once they reached the house, she took her food and went straight to her room. She didn’t know if he had said goodnight or if she 48
had imagined it. She needed space. She needed some time to think. Life had not only slapped her in the face, it had knocked her on her ass.
The sound of a French door opening drew her eyes down to the backyard. Dimitri came out from the covered patio, a white towel tossed over his naked shoulder. Crossing over to the teak lounge chairs, he dropped the towel and swung his arms wide. The muscles in his back rippled as he stretched.
Damn, he is built.
He reached up and tugged on the leather strip, releasing his golden hair.
