Chapter 11

Piper

Every inch of me wanted to scream, to run for the hills, and leave all the vampire politics behind me. I knew I couldn’t though. I had to do this for Wynn. It was my fault he was taken and it would be me who got him back.

So, if that meant that this greasy, old vampire got to take a bite out of me, then goddamn it he would get his taste. I just hoped I could keep my sanity when it was all over.

Morpheus ran his hands over my arms and up my shoulders, caressing me like we were lovers. An involuntary shiver surged through me at his touch. I was going to need an acid bath when this was all over or I’d never feel clean again.

His hands lifted until they came to the tie on my halter top. I hitched a breath and one of the guys stepped toward me. Morpheus simply smiled down at me. “We wouldn’t want to get blood all over that pretty top of yours.”

I waved whoever had stepped forward off, allowing Morpheus to untie my shirt. I held the front up against my breasts. He might be getting to drink my blood, but that didn’t give him the right to the rest of my body.

Morpheus spun me around, making me face the others. “It’s so much better with an audience, don’t you think?” His sharp nail stroked the side of my neck, not cutting, but the threat of violence was there.

My eyes drifted over to Rayne’s of their own accord. The muscles in his jaw were tight, his body poised to launch forward at any moment. Please don’t. I shoved the thought at him, hoping to calm him some. I might not be able to make myself chill out, but I couldn’t have the others getting hurt for this. It was my decision. It had to be me.

Morpheus combed my hair away from my neck, his nose inhaling my scent. “Magnificent. I can see why they’re so taken with you.”

“Morpheus.” Antoine’s warning tone held more violence in it than I’d ever heard. “Stop torturing her. Get your taste before my brothers can no longer wait.”

Huffing, Morpheus practically sounded like a chastised child, whining, “You take all the fun out of it. I’m regretting giving you the information.”

“Be that as it may, you did. Now finish this.” Antoine warned once more, his gaze locked on to the vampire behind me.

Morpheus didn’t even give me any warning before he struck. His fangs sank so deeply into my neck, I swore he was scratching bone. Tears filled my eyes and I held back a scream by biting my lip. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.

While Morpheus’s bite hurt like a son of a bitch, it wasn’t the same as Valentine’s. His had been brutal like a vicious animal. Add in the fact that he was trying to kill me and I couldn’t call out to any of the guys, it was a human's worst nightmare.
