Chapter Fifteen

Twenty minutes later, the minivan came to a halt in front of a tall, glass-encased office building across the street from, what else, a church.

Pinch braided our fingers together and led me through a cavernous, well-lit lobby extending two stories high. Our shoes clacked on pristine marble floors. Opaque, electronic gates barred entry to the elevator bank.

“Mr. Miller,” the security guard at the desk said in greeting.

“Chris, thought you were switching off the overnight?”

“Baby’s finally sleeping so they put me back on.”

“Happy to hear that. Buzz us up?”

“She should register.”

“Not here to participate, so she can forgo the forms. If you need to ask him, I understand, but we’ll only be here a few minutes.”

The guard picked up a phone receiver and punched in a few buttons. Long moments passed while Chris conferred with the person on the other end.

“Wave to the camera, Jex,” Pinch murmured to me and pointed to a dome in the ceiling.

I gave a little finger salute and smiled menacingly.

See, I belong here, and not as prey.

“Go on up,” Chris said and pressed a button to hold the electronic gates open.

The moment we passed through, the elevator doors slid open.

Pinch ushered us into the car then jerked me close. Thick fingers skated over my exposed back and gently held one side of the halter neck aside to bare my neck.

“I’m going to mark you as mine. Don’t panic, it’s only temporary. Whatever you do, don’t let anyone touch you.”

In hindsight, I probably should have asked more questions, but I knew that I’d be safe with Pinch.

At my nod, he sliced his bottom lip with a fang and lunged for my neck.

His mouth sucked at my skin without breaking it, and I moaned in response.

Blood from his lip spread over my skin until a long drip trailed down my chest and pooled between my breasts.

Sunshine hummed his approval, moving to lick at my other shoulder immediately above his mark. He twisted the arm of the top so that it would emphasize his earlier bite scar to anyone looking.

It was faint, barely visible, unless you knew what to look for.

And I really, really liked him claiming me like that. I scratched nails over his scalp while he licked my neck.

“Fuck, I want to kiss you,” he murmured.

“I’m in the mood to be reckless,” I said, breathless.

“We can’t have sex in this elevator. If you take my blood, I won’t have the will to stop you.”

I cupped his chin and ran my thumb through the red on his lip, amazed to watch the injury already stitching itself together.

“We’re exchanging blood again,” I murmured, my tone sure. “I know it means more than some one-time thing, and I want that. Do you hear me, Mr. Miller? I want that.”

Pinch’s eyes bled immediately to black. He moved in for the kiss anyway, but the elevator doors dinged open.

“Later. We’ll talk about this later,” he said while tugging me through the entry.

On one of the upper floors of the office building,
