another."
"In a roundabout way, yes. So I hope you'll understand when I make this next request. I want something from you. Something that will give us forever."
"Anything. I'd give you my heart if I could."
"I already have that, as you have mine." I pressed a palm over her heart and I think our pulses synched. But if she would grant me my request, then I knew they would synch, ever after. "Bite me," I said. "And transform me to vampire."
He was asking for something that I'd initially thought a curse. That was, until I'd been taken in by tribe Lilith and taught to hunt and exist as a vampire. It wasn't a bad gig. And for a man who feared mortality, it could be good.
For the two of us, it could prove even better. I wanted to bond with Cinder as only two vampires could, in blood and soul. So I dipped my head to his neck without a second thought, and punctured his skin with my teeth.
No dark demon blood this time, just plain red mortal blood. But it still possessed the caramel sweetness of the man with whom I was falling in love. So decadently dark, too. If this is what my future held, bonding to Cinder in blood, then I was so glad he caught me outside the warehouse.
His magnificent body arched against mine as I sucked his blood, taking communion from his new soul. It was tinted with shades of the divine and darkness, and all colors in between, and I felt the power of his former being surge through me and brighten my body.
I drank until I could drink no more, and my lover's hand gripped my hips, rocking his groin against mine as the swoon overtook him, and blood orgasm overwhelmed us both. I did not lick the wound to seal it. The only way he could transform would be to now drink mortal blood and the vampiric taint would do the rest.
Together, our souls would bond and he would take a part of mine into his soul, as I would take a part of his into me. We would not become soul mates, but something so much more, fire and blood, forged in love.
