would’ve noticed it, I assure you. Now tell me what is troubling you.”
    I laced my fingers together and sighed. “I’m just worried about Sang and Hira. I just don’t know what to do about it. Hira’s so sick and we don’t know what it is…”
    His hand coiled around mine. “I am having a very excellent doctor come to ascertain the illness so do not worry. Whatever happens, happens.”
    “I know,” I whispered.
    He let go of my hand and leaned into me. He smelled faintly of vanilla, and the wavy cascade of his hair was so soft against my shoulders as his lips found mine and pressed strongly against them. I was a little annoyed when he pulled away and licked the side of my neck, sending a shudder throughout my body.
    “You smell so wonderful,” he uttered and before I could react, plunged his fangs deep into my flesh. A current of wild ecstasy tore through me as he drew on my blood, one hand reaching to the front of my shirt and cupping my breast while the other steadied my back. I began to feel weak and heavy as he continued to suckle on my throat pleasure bursting inside me like a firework.
    Darius pushed me down onto the bed and straddled my legs, never leaving my neck as he gracefully moved like a cat to get me in the position he wanted. The overwhelming pleasure of his bite made me moan loudly and finally release the building orgasm between my legs. He slowly raised his head and unlatched from my neck, his lips smothered a bright scarlet as his gleaming amber eyes locked onto mine.
    I loved how the moonlight hit his face at an angle so that his eyes glistened like wet jewels. A small grin curved his lips as his right hand played in the tresses of my hair, curling and uncurling the strands around his index finger. He licked the blood from around his mouth and crushed his mouth against mine. I returned the kiss and began to wriggle out of my jeans when a loud creaking sound stopped me.
    “Do you hear that?” I whispered while pulling my jeans back onto my hips.
    Darius listened intently. The creaking grew louder and louder. “Yes. Someone is coming.”
    I turned my head toward the door as it swung open and in walked Sang. His hair was an unruly mess as he came beside the bed and stared at Darius and I. Darius climbed off of me and cleared his throat.
    “Sang, what are you doing up so late?” he asked.
    Sang’s crimson eyes were tiny slits as he drowsily replied, “I couldn’t sleep so I was wondering if I could sleep with Lily but it looks like you got here first. Move over.”
    Darius and I parted ways and made a spot in the middle of the bed. Sang clambered onto the bed and lay down in the center. I shrugged and joined him and Darius decided to do the same. We were all crammed on my little full-sized mattress and I was worried that I was going to fall off. Sang reached to his feet and brought the covers over us.
    “Goodnight, Lily, Dari,” he said plainly before he closed his eyes and wrapped an arm around my chest.
    I tried my best not to move as I nestled my head on the pillows. Half of my butt was off the bed but I was happy that Sang was able to go to sleep. I grasped his hand and let my eyes shut.
    “Sorry we didn’t get to—you know,” I said to Darius.
    He laughed. “It’s all right. Another time perhaps.”
    I couldn’t help but giggle. Sang’s interruption had been perfect. “Yeah. Another time.”
    * * * *
    I was on the floor when I woke up. Darius and Sang weren’t in the room so I guessed that they’d woken up before me and left. A really sweet and delicious scent wafted into the hallway and I skipped down the steps and went into the kitchen.
    Sang was standing at the stove wearing a black apron and flipping pancakes. I got a plate from the cupboard and piled the hot food on it. I set it on the table and took a seat after pouring a generous amount of syrup.
    Sang hummed to himself as he finished the last of the pancakes and dumped the frying pan into the sink before taking a
