“I can’t ask that from you,” Harlan whispered, looking paler than she’d ever seen him, and that was saying something.

“You’re not asking. I’m offering,” Ruby said firmly, despite the fear building in her gut.

The last time she had been a vampire’s meal had not turned out well for her, and here she was, volunteering to go through that again. She knew Harlan was different than Grant, and that he would most likely die if she didn’t give him her blood, so that made the decision a little easier.

You don’t abandon your partner when things get a little tough. Besides, he took those bullets I dug out of him for me.

Harlan still looked hesitant, but Ruby knew they didn’t have time to argue. The veins on his body were starting to become more pronounced, turning an alarming shade of blue. It looked like he was withering away right before her eyes, with dark circles appearing under his eyes and the last bit of color draining from his lips.

Ruby was surprised at the emotions rolling through her. By all accounts, she barely knew this man, but she had already grown way too attached to him. Watching Harlan die was not an option.

“You’ve saved my life more than once. Now shut up and drink up,” she said, tugging down her turtleneck and leaning closer to him, her heart beating wildly.

“No, not there,” Harlan sighed, reaching for her arm.

Confused, she pulled back as Harlan gently rolled up the fabric of her sweater. His thumb grazed over the veins of her wrists, and the soft touch sent a shiver down her spine.

“Thank you,” Harlan said, looking up at her, before he bent his head down to her hand.

Unable to look away, Ruby watched as Harlan started by softly kissing her wrist. His fangs were already out, as she felt them poke at her skin from between his lips. His tongue snaked out, slowly sliding over her wrist as his mouth sucked the veins there closer to the surface.

Taken aback by how intimate the whole process felt, Ruby’s breath hitched as she felt a sharp pressure against her wrist. Feeling Harlan’s fangs sink into her skin a moment later, she was surprised at how it barely even hurt.

And when his mouth started to work, sucking at her lifeblood, whatever twinge of pain she had felt melted away. An odd warmth spread across her limbs, making her hands and feet feel like jelly. She was all too aware of how soft his lips were against the skin of her wrist, even if his touch was a little cold.

Oh my… she thought, as her head started to spin in the most delicious way. I get it now, Roberto.

Looking down at Harlan, she could see the dark circles under his eyes disappearing. He let out something sounding like a small moan as he drew more of her blood into his mouth, and Ruby gasped when the sensation carried over straight to her core, making her thighs clench.

Harlan’s eyes snapped to her, and their gazes locked as his soft lips pressed against her skin.
