Jin said nothing. What could he say? How could he tell her why it had
happened? He couldn t think of a way to tell it without insulting her. The fact was
that he did like her, in spite of his need. He liked her a lot.
 I see, she said.  Fine. We had fun. I helped you, you paid me back. And
when I get on the plane, you re just a memory. It s over.
Her cold voice felt like rejection to him. He couldn t allow it. She already
owned him and he had to claim her. With a quickness that startled her, he spun
her around.
 It was not about fun. It was more than fun. You are mine. You belong to
me and I will be more than just a memory. I am your mate.
Adina s mouth came open and Jin s tongue went into it. He kissed her
frantically, barely letting her catch her breath. He pushed her against the door
behind her. It gave way and they were in Flaxon s bedroom.
Jin picked her and pulled her legs around his waist. He carried her to the
bed and laid her beneath him. Jin kissed her neck and her face urgently. He ripped
open her shirt, sucking and nipping her breast roughly. She cried out. His hand
slid into her jeans, popping the buttons. He stroked her folds roughly, using his
thumb to apply pressure to her clitoris.
Adina panted as her body wanted more. Jin removed his hand, then his
shirt. His feral eyes were bright with animalistic need. He pulled away her jeans
before climbing back onto her, grinding against her pelvis. She wore no
underwear; it had been tore to tatters and left behind. He inhaled her scent before
taking out his erection and slipping into her.
He moved in her rapidly, setting a pace that Adina could barely match. A
tingle started in the pit of her stomach and grew with each passing second. Her
nails dug into his flesh, driving him mad, as she gripped his back. He forced her
legs wider, pumping harder and harder. Adina s cries carried throughout the
building until she came with a force that nearly made her pass out. Jin stroked a
few more times before bursting, dying inside of her. He pumped until every drop
of his seed filled her. His cry came with it and his fangs elongated. He pulled her
up, ready to bury his fangs into her.
 Do it, she said.
 No, he said, fighting his instinct.
Adina lowered his head and whispered,  It s okay. I am your mate.
Jin struggled, but her words sent him over the edge. He sank his fangs just
above her collarbone on her left side.
Adina s eyes rolled back images flashed between them. She felt herself
spasm and come again, a euphoria feeling coursing through her body until she
passed into nothingness.
Jin pulled away breathing hard, with blood dribbling from the corner of
his mouth.
Flaxon stood at the bar sipping his drink and trying to think of how to help
the man he now wanted as his High Prince. When he finished the drink, he left the
bar and locked the door that separated it from the rest of the space.
He walked slowly down the hallway, observing the High Prince splayed
across his bed breathing heavily. The human female was naked on her back, no

doubt equally taxed by the High Prince s energy. There was blood on her neck.
Flaxon shook his head before going on to take his own chance at sleep. Tomorrow
was going to be a long day.

Adina woke with a start over cool sheets. A soundly sleeping Jin had his
heavy arm draped over her. She watched him briefly, noting that his face had an
innocence that she had never seen when he was awake. She turned away, feeling
the pain near her neck. Her shoulder felt puffy there and her fingers were wet with
blood. The memory of last night came rushing back to her, including the bite. But
then other images invaded her mind, making her blink rapidly.
She had let Jin bite her. He had said he wouldn t even if she begged, but
he did. She wasn t mad, it had been hurting him not to bite her. But she still didn t
understand the implications of the bite. Time to seek out a certain blond vampire.
She gently moved his arm and got up. Finding her clothes, she realized the
shirt was ruined and took his sweater instead. She padded barefoot into the
hallway, looking both ways before deciding to go back to the messy living room.
It was as dark as a tomb. She was feeling the wall for a light switch when
a voice said,  Don t.
She looked out and saw illuminating gold eyes. She leaned against the
doorframe as he had once done.
 What is it you want, human?
She sighed. She knew that Jin had told her not to talk to the vampire, but
she needed answers.
 I think you know what is going on with Jin, and why he needed to bite
me.
 I d bite you too, human. Human blood is good, especially from pretty
girls like you.
She shook her head, imagining the smile on the vampire s face.
 Oh, please. Look, I just found Jin sleeping like a log, when before he
couldn t sleep at all for needing to bite me. Why was biting me so important?
Why does he think I m his mate?
Flaxon was determining what he could tell her without pissing Jin off or
scaring her.
 You are a human. He needed to own you. Back in the old days, when
vampires could play with humans, we marked them to know who belong to who.
That was his problem.
 Bull-shit. Tell me the truth, she demanded.
 Ask him, he fired back.
Adina was frustrated. She wanted to know what was going on before she
got on the plane.
 Adina, said Flaxon softly,  you could do worse. Believe me. After all
that has happened, that bite is the best thing that could have happened to you.
 Why?
She felt, more than saw Flaxon get up. A moment later, he was standing
before her, shirtless. Damn, are all vampires fine? Flaxon was ripped, his creamy

color a soft light brown paled by his DNA. His pants hung low on his waist,
giving her a nice view of the trail of hair and muscles of his lower stomach. His
body was very nice, but not as nice as Jin s. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
