CHAPTER 14

A sense of revitalization awoke within Delilah and her mind roused. Comfortably lost between a dream and reality, she moaned softly as her mouth worked. Pleasant. Hot. Satisfying.

No, wait…

Her eyelids snapped open and she screamed, only to choke on whatever was in her mouth. Oh, fuck, she knew what it was. Blood. He was feeding her his fucking blood!

The thick, sticky fluid coated her tongue and she gagged, dry heaving over the side of the bed as every muscle in her body locked.

“You’re going to make yourself sick!”

She angrily pointed a finger at him and spit on the floor. Tears blurred her eyes as she tried to breathe, not wanting to focus on the metallic taste drowning her senses.

“You,” she wheezed. “How could you?” She gagged again and wiped her mouth on the back of her arm. The trail of pink saliva turned her stomach even more.

“This is ridiculous. You needed to feed.”

The copper taste of death was everywhere, in her sinuses, down her throat, filling her belly like bile on a rocking ship.

“You’re purposefully making a dramatic—”

His words cut off when her shoulders tensed and she covered her mouth with a heave. Too late. She vomited the crimson contents of her stomach all over the floor.

Her lungs labored, yet she couldn’t draw in one useful gasp of breath. She vomited again. The sight was even worse than the horrific sound, but nothing beat the ungodly smell.

Her body convulsed with shivers once her belly was painfully hollow again, and she fell back onto the bed, panting and sweating. How had this become her life?

He came to her side, and she weakly swatted his touch away. “Don’t.”

“Enough!” he snapped, catching her flailing arm and dabbing her face with a cool cloth. “I will not be pushed away when you’re ill and in need.”

She was in need of normalcy. Her eyes struggled to stay open as nausea swam through her in waves. “How could you do that?” The violation of trust was unfathomable. But for trust to be betrayed it would first have to exist, and that was impossible.

“Pintura, do you have any idea how malnourished an immortal has to be to suffer the sort of weakness you suffered last night? You needed nourishment.”

She hissed at him, a completely animalistic response, but she didn’t care.

“You’ve been digesting my blood for days—”

“I knew it! The other women said as much! You had no right to feed me your blood!”

“I had every right! You. Are. My. Mate.”

Her hands covered her ears. “My name is Delilah Starling!”

He caught her arms in an unbreakable grip and put his face close to hers. “Yes, and Delilah Starling is mine—just as I am hers. Do you have any idea how terrified I was last night when you fainted? Fainted, Delilah. That is not something immortals do. You deliberately hid your needs from me, and look at what it cost you. Fevered and in pain. Why would you put yourself through that?”

“I don’t want to be a fucking immortal! This is your fault!”

“Then it’s my fault!” he shouted.
