Read Kept: An Erotic Anthology for Free Online Page B

the first plate of eggs, bacon, and ham was finished. I took off the next lid and managed to say, “Good.”
    I didn’t care that he watched me gorge myself. I’d never been this hungry in my life. My next phrase, “Is this normal,” came after I downed another bottle of water and opened the last covered dish. It was another serving of eggs and meat.
    “Yes, it’s normal. Your body needs to replace the blood… among other things.”
    “Do I want to know what those other things are?” At least I chewed and swallowed the huge bite in my mouth before asking.
    “I’m not sure, do you?”
    I didn’t like the sound of that but, before I could reply, there was a knock at the front door of the suite. I started to scramble up so I could search for my dress but Talon placed his hand heavily on my shoulder. “Stay in here. I’ll be back in a moment.”
    “Do you know who it is?”
    “Your friend, Major Vic.”
    Shame washed over me but Talon leaned forward and kissed it away. God, could I fall in love with a vampire in less than twenty-four hours? This was crazy, but I could feel the protective vibes he radiated and it calmed me. I crawled beneath the covers and buried my head under a pillow. I received a sharp slap on my ass, too. My giggles, yes, I giggled again, followed him out of the room.
    I heard the front door open.
    “May I come in?”
    “No.”
    “I need to see Kelly.”
    “Why?”
    “Look. I need to know she’s all right.”
    I could hear the frustration in Vic’s voice.
    “You brought her to my room in little more than a kerchief, making her think she had to have sex with me and now out of some noble goodness you want to know how she is? Well fuck you.”
    Oops, this was going to get out of hand fast. I jumped up, pulling the sheet around me and walking quickly out of the bedroom.
    Vic saw me; at the same time Talon turned in my direction.
    “I’m fine Vic. You interrupted some pillow talk so it would be best if you left.”
    “Kelly…” He tried walking forward but Talon shoved him back.
    I stared at Vic, refusing to hide in shame. “I need clothes; something other than a fuck me scrunchy would be nice. If you come back, bring something comfortable along with my backpack.”
    With another push to Vic’s chest, Talon slammed the door in his face and turned his black gaze on me.
    “Your eyes change color when you’re angry.” I smiled so Talon could see it was okay.
    He ran his fingers through his hair, clearly frustrated. It made me smile and just like that, his eyes lightened and those gold sparkles made me wet.
    “Fuck me, Talon.”
    It worked like a dream. His pheromones went crazy and so did I. Unwinding the sheet, I let it fall as I walked closer.
    Our against the door sex was awesome and I swear the man never tired. His dick remained rock hard through three orgasms. I rested in his lap, loving the musky sex smell that surrounded us. Our earlier conversation suddenly popped into my mind. “What other things do I need to replace?”
    He gave my shoulder a small squeeze. “Your body is adapting to mine and making its own special chemicals to attract me. It pulls a lot of energy from you so you need food and water to replace what you lose.”
    My pulse raced, “Will I keep doing that even after you’re gone.”
    “In a way,” he whispered.
    “Fuck. Will I jump any available guy and make him want sex with me.”
    This made him laugh and I was instantly glad it wasn’t quite as bad as I thought but when I looked at him; I could see a question in his eyes.
    That sexy thrill went back into his voice, “Make no mistake; there isn’t a heterosexual man alive that doesn’t want to have sex with you, little warrior, but the chemicals won’t make it worse.”
    I brushed my hand over his jaw, tilting my head so I could lick the same path with my tongue. I didn’t believe what he said about other men wanting me. He wasn’t intimidated by my strong physique like most men so he wasn’t
