the others. And the instant I touched you, I felt this connection. I had to be sure.”
    “So you feed while you kiss them?”
    “Yes. I can take their energy to survive. It does them no harm. They recover in a couple of days.”
    “So then you don’t drink blood?”
    “Oh, I do. But I take enough to sustain myself from the women I kiss. I drink from those whom I must.” He took her wrist and kissed the inside of it, tracing his fang over the skin. “You taste wonderful. Better than I imagined. I want to taste more of you. All of your flesh. Your sweetness.”
    Santino gazed at her. She saw the desperation and the loneliness in his eyes. The same loneliness she’d felt, but he’d been suffering with it for much longer. The pleasure of his touch wound through her and settled between her legs. Her need for him was growing out of control. Her mind reeled with the knowledge that he was a vampire and she was supposed to be his mate. Monsters didn’t exist, but here he was.
    “So now you turn me into a vampire?”
    “Maybe not right now. But eventually. You’ll have to turn.”
    He kissed along the inside of her arm. The more his lips touched her, the more she fell under the spell of his passion that rose inside of her. Santino bit down gently with regular teeth on her inner elbow, and she pressed against him. “Right now, I want to fuck you and claim you for my own.”
    “Then fuck me. Because I’m already yours.” Once she said the words, she knew they were true. She undid the clasp at his throat and pushed the cloak off his shoulders. April unbuttoned his shirt and rested her hand on his chest, feeling his cool skin. When she set her palm over his heart, his chest was silent. He remained still and waited for her to make a move. She placed her mouth where her hand was and began to kiss him slowly. She moved over to his nipple and bit down on it.
    He moaned and gripped her shoulders. “April, let’s do this on the bed. You’d be more comfortable, and I want to watch you undress.”
    A smile spread on her face. This was what she was hoping for. That he would be more involved. She tugged on the pert bud one more time and then stood. April took a step backward and slowly unzipped her skirt. She slipped it off and stepped out of it. Luckily, she had worn matching black panties and bra. Santino’s eyes widened when she undid the corset and took it off. He cupped her breasts lightly through the satin. Her firm nipples pushed against his palm. He pressed his lips to the top of her right breast and ran his tongue over it until he stopped at her heart. He left his mouth there. His other hand slipped down her belly, tickling a line until he covered her sex. Santino placed his thumb onto her clit and began to rub.
    She moaned.
    “So beautiful,” he whispered. “I can taste your arousal on your skin.” He began to fondle her faster.
    April clutched his arm and tried to keep herself erect, but her knees were weak. The ecstasy coursing through her body was beyond the point where they had been with just kissing. She was being rocketed to another world. The blaze was climbing ever higher and consuming her from the inside.
    “Please, Santino .”
    Santino paused and gazed into her eyes. His were turning red once more. The hunger was growing inside of him. He smiled and she watched his teeth extend. He caressed her face. The tips of his nails trailed along her skin. They were sharper than what they were before. He pushed aside her panties and slid a finger inside of her. April leaned on him more. Her heart banged into her chest while his eyes held her mesmerized.
    “You want me to take you?”
    “Yes,” she groaned.
    He nipped at her throat. “For me to do that, you have to accept all of me. Let me taste you, let me fuck you, drink from me.” He pumped his finger in and out of her while he tortured her clit faster. April bucked against him.
    “Yes!”
    “All of it?”
    “Yes.”
    She wanted his fangs buried in her
