CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

A few hours before sunset, Kerrigan woke up and had herself a quick rinse in the shower, rummaging through the snacks and supplies for something to eat. She answered some emails, gave Etienne an update, turned down a few appointments, and settled beside him to wait.

A vampire basically hibernated during the day; all the functions of his body shut down until the sunset. Even then, a vampire’s heart only beat a handful of times per hour, just enough to pump blood through his veins and get oxygen to his brain.

Still, it was a bit disconcerting to touch him and not feel his chest rising and falling or the echo of his heartbeat.

Maks was warm only because the ambient temperature of the basement was in the seventies and because she’d turned the heating pad on when she’d gotten up several hours ago to pee.

It wouldn’t be long now, and Kerrigan couldn’t wait to see Maksim’s eyes open, or to give him the kiss he needed to reassure himself he wasn’t dreaming.

She’d just finished writing down the spells and experiences she’d had at the Silver Wives’ place in her grimoire, when Maksim finally stirred.

She set the black leather book aside and leaned in to press her lips against his before he fully woke, happy in ways she’d forgotten were possible.

It almost hurt a little bit to be this happy again, the way it hurt when blood rushed back to nearly frozen fingertips, but the grip of Maksim’s arms closing tightly around her made Kerrigan forget the pain.

He rolled like an alligator to get her beneath him, one minute dead to the world, the next wide awake and clearly hungry for more than just a kiss. All it took for her hormones to rage and her womb to clench was the prick of his fangs against her lips.

He was gentle, covering her, moving inside her as though one wrong move could break her. As though she was breakable and precious to him.

Staring into his darkening gaze, Kerrigan could feel herself getting close, and he must have felt it too because he smiled wide enough to show her those sharp incisors.

Just that, and she was right there: toes curled around the edge.

She tipped her head back for him; the warmth of his breath on her throat and the lick of his tongue sent her soaring. Kerrigan thought she heard him laugh seconds before he struck.

Maksim seemed to time the pulls of his mouth with the gripping pulse of her orgasm, and it only made it better. So much better. Crazy better.

If this was a glimpse of her future, she was going to wake up a very happy woman.

When she could move again, Maks gathered her up and took her to the bathroom.

The shower was on; steam billowed out when he opened the glass door, enveloping them in a warm mist. With his hands in her hair, lathering in her shampoo, Maksim gave a deep, satisfied sigh.

“This is the sort of intimacy I imagined between us.
