VICTORIA  As I pull myself out of the darkness, I wait for the pain to hit me. It had been a little while since I have had to fight like that, so I was expecting to be at least a little sore, but I actually felt good. It was then that I noticed the sweet and tangy taste in my mouth. Someone had given me blood, and it was blood I had never tasted before.I stretch and realise that I am not on one of the military cots within my assigned tent, but on a very soft, very comfortable real bed. I sit up and look around. I don’t panic as panicking only makes one make mistakes. I move off the bed and notice that I am still in the same clothes I was in, so whoever has me didn’t try anything.I walk around the room and find the bathroom. I know of these types of cabins. There are many of them abandoned and scattered all over the kingdom. I turn on the tap and I am surprised when water actually comes out, I then strip and take a deep breath, also knowing th

VICTORIA He closes the gap between our lips in a gentle, loving kiss as he once again slides his hand down my body, stopping between us. I feel him move his hips as they push my legs a little further apart. I then feel as he slides his cock against my private lips before I feel the tip press against me. Not realising that it was going to hurt so much I gasped a little into his kiss as tears filled my eyes and I placed one hand on his chest and the other hand on the fur as I tried to push him and move my body away from the pain. Normally pain doesn’t bother me but this… This is much more intimate, this is me finally giving in, finally surrendering my body to another and allowing him to take that most intimate part of me, allowing him entrance inside my body. Something I had longed to do with my mate, but thought I never would. I could feel his body trembling as he tried to hold himself still, as he slid his arm underneath my shoulders and lightly gripp

ROMEO I am nearly knocked over by the taste of her. She tastes amazing and I can't stop. I have never liked the blood bags the Masters always gave me once I stopped feeding on the ones torturing me, but this, her blood, her taste, it’s just like heaven. I move my hand from the front of her throat to the back of her neck and put my other hand on the ground beside her head so that I can push myself up onto my knees pulling her with me, without separating or stopping my drinking. As I lean on my knees and her thighs, I wrap my arms around her, holding her tighter and tighter as I pull her more into my body and continue to drink, not wanting this heavenly feeling to stop. "I give myself to you. I love you! RILEY! - ROMEO!" I don't know what it was, whether it was in her voice or the fact that she relaxed more into my hold, that made me realise that her heart was slowing and I was in fact killing her! I stop my deep pulls on her neck

THIRD PERSONRomeo doesn’t answer her this time as he steps out of her arms, turns and makes his way toward the battlefield. He didn’t want to leave her but he still had a responsibility to protect Skylar and she was still in the hands of the enemy, the more Romeo thought about it the more he was convinced that the CEO Vlad was indeed part vampire, if not, he was at least part supernatural.Romeo doesn't want to leave the prospects of a family, but as a wave of weakness passes through him, he knows that without Skylar being safe in Julian's arms, he will suffer. Romeo pushes all those emotions to the side, knowing what Archer and the others are expecting of him.It doesn’t take him long to find Nathaniel and step up in front of him as if they are about to face off against each other and to anyone but them they were... He sighs and opens his family link.“Cousin, I trust you not to kill me but to do what you have to.&rdq

THIRD PERSON Savannah watches from the sidelines as Romeo walks out onto the battlefield and faces down his cousin, she tries to hold in the tears as she holds one hand to her mouth and one gently on her stomach hoping that she will see her mate again and their baby will know its Father. When she sees that Prince Nathaniel is about to deliver his final blow, Savannah opens her link with Romeo and whispers, “I love you. Please come back to us.” “I’ll be back before you know it…” Romeo groans back, sending all the love he feels along the mate bond until Nathaniel makes that final hit, knocking him out. ------------ SKYLAR I can’t stop the moan that leaves my lips or the arousal that passes through my body after he has sunk his fangs into my neck. I don’t struggle against him and allow him to take his fill. As I start to feel lightheaded, I relax and allow the darkness to take me. I struggle in th
