I’ll be pulled off street duty.”
“Forever?”
“I can’t go on patrol until my watch commander believes I won’t fuck up.”
“I’ve put you in a difficult position.”
Harper didn’t want to have to choose between Egan and her career. Jobs were scarce and most of the city’s population was barely scratching out a living.
Loving Egan made no sense. Wanting him was reckless. Being with him was dangerous. But resisting him was impossible.
He kissed her, their lips meeting eagerly. His fang nicked her lower lip. A groan tore from deep within him. He jerked up his head.
“It’s just a nick.”
“You have no idea what it’s like to taste fresh human blood.”
“I hope I taste good.”
“Imagine the most delicious food, something you crave but can’t have.”
“Chocolate. It’s so expensive I haven’t tasted it in years.”
“You’re double-rich chocolate, the finest quality.”
She unfastened the waistband of his pants. “You’re ice on a hot day.”
“You like ice?”
Harper unzipped him and slid to her knees. “I love sucking on ice when it’s blistering hot.”
She palmed him, found him already hard and ready. Harper flicked the head of his cock with the tip of her tongue before sucking him into her mouth. His flesh was cool and silky smooth.
He slid his fingers into her hair. “Feels so good.”
She wrapped her hand around the thick base of his cock and fastened her mouth around him, tugging and sucking. Moaning, he rocked his hips. Harper responded, taking more of him into her mouth. Egan moaned and his grip on her hair tightened. She fisted him and sucked harder. His cock jerked. A satisfied gasp followed.
Egan drew her to her feet. “No one’s done that to me in a very long time.”
“Really?”
“For a vampire, sex and blood are intertwined.”
“Like our first night?”
He slipped his arms around her waist. “I’ve never had to chain anyone to the wall.”
“You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were going to kill me.”
“That was the plan but I wanted you to suffer, to pay for Noah.”
“I’m sorry, but I had to protect that asshole and his camera guy. Tell me, why did you change your mind?”
“I liked you. You didn’t cry or snivel or beg. You didn’t break.”
“If I had, would you have hurt me?”
He slid a hand beneath her top and ran a fingertip along the length of her spine. “You were too damn sexy to hurt. All I wanted to do was fuck you.”
“And bite me?”
“That too. You’re beautiful and delicious.”
At times like this it was impossible to think of him as a vampire. How had he managed to retain his humanity when so many others hadn’t? Egan was one of the old ones. At the turn of the century, the vampires were cultured and rich. They were accepted by society.
“The first time I laid eyes on you, I had a clean shot. I hesitated.”
“Why?”
“You aren’t like any vampire I’ve encountered. You impressed me. You were in control. The vampires I usually engage, like the ones at the riot, are vicious. Crazed with bloodlust.”
“Gangbangers with fangs?”
“I’d never thought of a vampire as handsome or kind, and sexy was out of the question.”
“You’re turning me on, my love, but we’ll have to wait until sundown. Will you come to me, or should I collect you in one of the cars? I’d like to see where you live. You don’t have a roommate do you?”
“I don’t have a roommate, but picking me up is too dangerous.”
Harper didn’t want Egan anywhere near her apartment. Danik lived in her building and he had a key. One glance and Danik would know Egan was a vampire.
“No one pays attention to chauffeurs.”
“In my neighborhood they would. I’ll take the bus to the city museum and walk the rest of the way.”
“Get here before sundown. I don’t have to tell you how dangerous the streets are after dark.” He ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her. “I love you.”
“Are you going
