something else, shock and awareness. "Tell me, have you fed a vampire before?" He asked.
Oh gosh, he didn't know? All that time I was feeding Logan to save him and he didn't know.
"Yes."
"Who?" He growled before I could finish.
"Logan." His face crumpled before my eyes and I hoped it wasn't because he thought I willingly went with Logan. "I didn't want to, but he pretty much forced us with threats."
He was shaking his h ead in confusion and disbelief.
"No, no he said you were safe. He said, if I took my punishment, you would be safe."
He was talking mostly to himself and I felt so sad for everything we had been throu gh. We both had been lied to and betrayed.
"He told me and the others that we had to feed him to keep you and the other guards alive." I looked down at my hands in my lap. "I can't go through that again. I'm sorry, Drake. I love you more than anything , but to be a feeder for rest of my life...Please don't ask me to do that," I pleaded with him to understand.
He reached for my hand and I let him take it. He held it tightly in his while he spoke.
"But baby, it wouldn't be like that with me. I have been told it's pleasant to be fed on. I would never do anything to hurt you."
I shook my head. "I know that in my head , but you just don't understand. Just the thought of being bitten again...I can't," I said simply.
His gaze darkened a little and I would have thought he was angry with me , but his hand was gently caressing mine letting me know it wasn't me the anger was directed towards. He looked away staring at the wall. His gaze may have been on the flowered wallpaper, but his thoughts were definitely somewhere else.
"I understand more than you think. He fed from me too and it was awful. The thought of you going through that..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath obviously trying to pull himself together.
When his eyes opened, they were wet with unshed tears and looking at me.
"I can promise you this; I will never treat you like he did. I will love you and protect you every day of my life. That means protecting you from me also. I will never hurt you Rebecca."
I understood what he was saying , but I felt like I had a long way to go before I trusted him to feed on me. Maybe we could be together without feeding. He could feed on others. I would be okay with that, but when I mention it, he shook his head.
"No, it would be alright for a little while , but without the Enduring Kiss, we'll never feel complete."
I looked away. This was hopeless.
"Please Rebecca, come home w ith me. We will work this out."
I was not convinced of that.
"Listen you won't be a feeder. You will just be my mate coming home to be with me. We can talk and figure this out, alright?"
He was pleading with me and I felt bad , but I wasn't sure yet.
"I don't know Drake. Let me think about it for a while. I need some time."
He shook his head. "I want you come back w ith us. We leave today," he said.
I sighed heavily. I just didn't know what to do.
"Listen, I'm sta ying at the Savannah Garden. We are heading out at nine o'clock tonight. If you want to come home with me, be there by then. Okay?"
I reluctantly agree.
"Can I kiss you? If you decide not to come, I want a memory to hold onto."
My heart melted a little at his words. I could not deny him a kiss and besides I didn't want to deny him. I wanted to kiss him with all that I had. In answer, I raised my lips toward his. He met me halfway.
His kiss was like an explosion of fireworks right from the beginning. There was no leading up to the climax. With Drake , it was pure passion from the start.
He nibbled on my lips licking the seam trying to get me to open for him. I did, I opened for him and he plunged his tongue in searching for mine. He groaned when I reciprocated stroking my tongue with his. I grazed the tip of one of his fangs with my tongue , but I did not flinch. I knew he wouldn't bite me. I did trust him with that, I realized.
