H er blood was draining away. Her head swam. Panic roared up. She hit him, clawed at him, screamed at him, but nothing was working. She was dying, and he didn’t care. He wasn’t going to stop. All he wanted—all he’d ever wanted—was her blood….

Vivienne jerked up in the bed. Sheets tumbled off her chest, and she discovered she was wearing her green gown. It was streaked with dirt and dust. She was still wearing her shoes, as though someone had put her to bed in haste. Somewhere, a clock gave three low, petulant bongs and sunlight peeked around closed drapes. Where was she?

Then she noticed small red marks on her wrist. Her dream hadn’t been a dream. It had really happened.

She brushed her tangled hair back, trying to remember everything. She remembered following Heath’s voice in her head. She had found him in a warehouse, in a room rapidly filling with light. Then she’d offered her blood to save him and he wouldn’t stop drinking. She’d fought him, but he was far too strong. He had almost killed her. The one man she’d thought she could trust.

The thought made her feel instantly nauseous. It made her heart ache.

But he was a vampire. As much as she’d tried to ignore that truth, it was there. He had tasted her blood and lost control with her.… Vivienne got out of bed. Think of the practical right now. Blinking away useless tears, she set about determining where she was. This was not her room at Dimitri’s house. If she were a captive of the vampire council, she would be in a cell. That left Heath’s place—she must be at his house.

Unlike Dimitri’s house, this one was not deserted in daytime. Vivienne went out into the corridor. A maid with a feather duster was hurrying down the hallway. “Wait,” Vivienne called.

The girl turned. Her brown eyes were wide and she bobbed a curtsy. “Oh mum, I didn’t know you were awake. Did you wish for—?”

“Lord Blackmoor. Do you know where he is?”

“The library, I think, mum.”

And that was where she found him. His cravat was ripped open and he still wore his torn and blood-soaked clothes. He stared hollowly down at his mud-spattered boots.

“Vivi? Are you all right?”

The pain in his silvery-green eyes stunned her. She’d never had a man look prepared to cut his heart out for her. She couldn’t find words—so she nodded.

In a blur, he leaped up from the chair and crossed the room. He dropped to his knees before her. “Vivi, I’m sorry.” His throaty voice spoke of agony. “I don’t know what happened.”

“You’re a vampire. You drink blood. I know it wasn’t your fault.”

He kissed her belly through her dress, gazing up at her. He looked so fearful, so vulnerable. “That’s never happened before. I’ve never lost control before.”

“It’s proof,” she answered hollowly. “Proof we are not supposed to be together. I tempt you and you tempt me. And it is madness for both of us.”

He lowered his head.
