Chapter 15

Violet

“Have you eaten yet, little furry?” Cash asks once we’re alone.

“You really have to stop calling me that.” I pout, even though the nickname makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. “And no, I haven’t had anything since lunch.”

“I haven’t either.” Cash gives me a lopsided grin. “And I’m starved!”

I roll my eyes. “You’re a vampire. You don’t get starved.”

“Actually, I’m a blood mage, and I do. Vampires don’t have to eat, but half of me is a mage, and my mage is very hungry.”

His tone is filled with innuendo, like he’s implying he might be hungry for something other than food, and I nearly shift on the spot.

“Is your vampire hungry?” I ask. The mere thought of Cash licking my neck, sucking on it—biting me—makes my heart race.

Oh, great. Not only am I into giant skunk mascots, now I’m apparently a blood whore too.

“Don’t tempt me, little furry,” Cash says, his eyes zeroing in on my neck. They fill with need... with longing... with desire. And when his pupils take on a reddish hue, I gasp.

“Cash?” I whisper.

“I wasn’t planning on biting you.” He leans toward me until his breath grazes my neck. “Not when I thought you needed all that blood flowing through your veins.” He presses a soft kiss to my pulse point, and shivers travel down my spine. “But now...” he adds, sucking on my neck briefly. “Now I just might.”

I moan as wetness pools between my thighs. Then I can’t help it. I shift. Stupid, wonky magic!

Cash jumps back like he’d been burned. The red hue of desire dissipates from his eyes, replaced by disappointment.

“I’m so sorry,” I cry, quickly shifting back.

The good news is, I didn’t turn into Nole, or Liam, or Mayor Shchnarl. Definitely don’t want to look like a spotted ogre when your mate tries to give you a hickey. The bad news is I’d shifted into old Violet.

“Please don’t be scared of me. I swear I wasn’t going to hurt you,” Cash says gently, keeping his body perfectly still, like I might flee at any moment.

“I wasn’t scared. I just—”

“You don’t have to explain, little furry. And you never have to be afraid around me.” He starts to reach for me and then pulls his hand back right before our hands touch. “If you don’t want me to bite you, just say so. I would never do anything you didn’t want me to, Violet. I swear.”

“I know you wouldn’t.” And even though we just met, I can feel the truth in his words. “I didn’t shift because I wanted you to stop, Cash. I didn’t even mean to shift. It just happens sometimes...” When I’m aroused.

“I understand.” Cash says quickly, but I really don’t think he does. I try to summon the courage to tell him how my wonky powers work, when he suddenly changes the subject. “How about we order some food and just talk? Get to know each other?”

“Sure.” I nod, trying to hide my disappointment. Way to ruin the moment, Violet.
