over
Kaname’s back, and the burn of the scratches added another
dangerous layer to the ecstasy. It was so intense that Kaname thought
he might die from it.
A very dim part of him remembered what his butler had told him.
It seemed to be a lifetime ago, although it had just happened the day
before. Kaname thought he could recall the man—what was his name,
anyway?—warning him not to get in too deep with his shifter. Too
deep? Crap, he couldn’t get deep enough, both literally and
figuratively. Had he ever thought he could have a fun romp with the
werewolf and send him on his way? He must have been insane.
On and on it went, the bed protesting as Kaname increased the
speed and strength of his thrusts. Kaname ached for another taste of

Derek’s blood, but he knew that if he got it, it would be all over. He
wanted to keep going, to hold on to this, just a little longer.
But then, Derek exposed his throat to him, panting out in a hoarse
voice, “Bite me. Take me.”
There was nothing Kaname could do to stop himself. As if
Derek’s words had activated a switch, he struck, burying his fangs in
Derek’s flesh.
For vampires, feeding was always a strongly sensual experience,
and they could make it both pleasurable and painful for their partners.
The intensity of the experience also depended a lot on the attraction
between those involved, so Kaname had known it would be
particularly powerful with Derek. Even so, nothing had prepared him
for the explosion of ecstasy that burst through him the moment when
Derek’s blood finally flowed into Kaname’s mouth.
Burying himself inside Derek one last time, Kaname found his
peak, and Derek joined him, splashing Kaname’s chest with hot
streams of cum. But the carnal climax was doubled by one at a whole
different level, one he had ignored until now. His mind was
completely in synch with Derek’s. Their souls were aligned, and
Kaname felt his entire world shift. He had heard Derek’s thoughts
before, experienced his emotions, but this was different, profoundly
so. He could not explain it too well himself, but he understood Derek
at a level he could never have dreamed prior to the bite. A connection
clicked into place, one he recognized as a mate bond.
It should have been frightening, since he hadn’t expected this, and
he hadn’t been prepared for it. It wasn’t. It felt natural, as if a part of
him he hadn’t even known was missing had finally come back to him.
Not wanting to risk any harm done to his lover, Kaname released
his hold on Derek’s throat and licked the wound. His dick slipped out
of Derek’s cum-slick channel, and Kaname shivered with pleasure
even as he collapsed at Derek’s side. Later, he told himself. First, he
needed to test their new connection.

“Derek?” he thought, gazing deep into the werewolf’s dazed
eyes. “Can you hear me?”
Derek blinked then beamed brightly at him, his expression
clearing of the lassitude left behind by the afterglow. “Of course I
can. You’re my mate.”
Kaname had sensed that certainty within Derek even before they’d
coupled. Under normal circumstances, he’d have shied away from a
partner who seemed infatuated with him, as he didn’t appreciate
complicated emotional entanglements. But in his heart, he had known
it would be different with Derek.
“I am,” he told the werewolf. “And you, boku no hana , are mine
forever.”
A few seconds passed, and then Derek finally spoke. “Did you just
call me your flower?” he asked out loud.
Kaname laughed lightly. “Indeed. I find it quite suitable.” He
brushed a lock of hair from Derek’s face. “You are like a flower that
stubbornly refuses to show its petals, until darkness falls and you
open up to the rays of the moon.”
“And I’m assuming you’re the moon.” Derek grinned. “You’re in
a very poetic mood.”
