naked into the kitchen where he opened a packet of cow’s blood, emptied the liquid into a whiskey glass and downed it. The blood was a temporary distraction to his system, would quell his sexual hunger for a while. He went into the living room and gazed out the window at the swimming pool, its surface glowing silver-blue from the in ground spotlights.
Lydia’s choice to have a very short fling with him was wise. She, too, recognized the danger in being with him longer. She’d admitted that her attraction to him was disturbing . Disturbing not only because he was a vampire, but because the attraction was potent, uncontrollable. Emotions would develop and when they’d reach that inevitable point, everything would crash and burn. Like it had with Natalie. They would part ways and Lydia would find her true mate. A deserving man. A human to grow old with.
Adrian clenched his jaw and stared outside until the ache in his chest passed, until his muscles relaxed. He hoped he’d raised the bar for her in choosing the right man. She was passionate, deserved a man who would please her on every level. He allowed himself a smile. In the meantime, she was his. His blood quickened as he thought of the pleasures he would introduce her to tomorrow. The shower with the massage jets that would drive her wild when used on her pussy and her breasts. The hot tub slippery with scented oil, the blindfold…but no more biting. No. He would lose all reason and control if he tasted her alluring blood again.
He returned to the bedroom and found her curled on her other side. He slid an arm around her and cupped the fullness of her breast. His eyes drifted shut. He rarely slept more than four hours, but he would let Lydia sleep until morning. What he had in mind required rest and…lots of energy. A smile tugged the corner of his mouth as he drifted off into his dreamless sleep.
