Nick looked at her, so earnestly there in front of him, and even through the thick sludge of exhaustion, his body responded, tightening with need at the very thought of her offer. An offer that he couldn’t accept.

“Are you trying to get rid of me, Petra?” he said with an indulgent smile.

“No, I—” She cocked her head. “Not now. Sleep now. But tonight. When the moon rises. Can I—I mean, will you feed from me tonight?”

“What are you—” And then he remembered. The Super Blood Flower Moon.

He should say no. He should tell her there were homeless in the tunnels on whom he could feed. Founts he could call—humans who were aware of the existence of vampires and charged a minimal fee, their compensation coming primarily in the form of the thrill of the taking.

Hell, he could even order out for synthetic.

And yet he said none of that. Because the truth was he did want her. He’d had a taste when they’d twined together in the sky, and now he desperately wanted to finish what they’d started. What he’d started.

She was offering her blood, but he would have more than that. He would have the woman, too.

“Are you strong enough?” he asked, tempering his desire.

“I feel good,” she said.

“Let me see your skin.” He spoke for no prurient purpose—he needed to see the color of her flesh and listen to the pulse of life within her.

“No.”

He lifted a brow, not used to being contradicted.

“We don’t even know how we’re getting across the Atlantic yet,” she said. “We seem to be safe here, and you need time to think. Time to heal. And I need—”

“Yes?”

Her chin rose defiantly. “I need to do this.” He held her gaze for a moment, until she seemed to sag under the weight of it. “You saved my life, Nicholas,” she said, softly. “Let me feed you.”

“Is that all you wish?” He wanted to hear her say it. Her body was already speaking to him, the blood connection burning between them. But he wanted the words. Hell, he would insist upon them.

“No,” she said. “That’s not all.”

“What else do you want?”

She stayed silent.

“Petra, what else do you want?”

“I want you to touch me.” She met his eyes. “I want it badly.”

“Good.” He could feel her desire crashing against him like waves, stirring his own, making him curse the sun that had not yet even crested in the sky.

“Do you—” She cut herself off, as if the question was too much to ask. As if she feared the answer.

“I do,” he said. “But understand this, Petra. That makes it dangerous. I want you, but I need to feed. If I
