colder. But it didn t feel bad. After fifteen or twenty minutes, she started to feel a little
lethargic. Maybe vampires were like reptiles. Maybe she d end up going into some kind
of hibernation if she stayed outside long enough. She wondered what would happen if
she froze solid.
Her first cousin Brad pulled up on his rattletrap old snowgo. The smell of burning oil
assaulted her nose. He lit a cigarette and offered her one. She waved her hand, turning
him down. Her sense of smell and taste were so acute that she couldn t handle being
around someone smoking three blocks away.  If you re going to keep standing out here
without smoking, at least put some snow pants on.
 How cold is it? she asked, licking her finger. The moisture froze quickly.
 Thirty-five below, with a wind chill. Brad coughed as he blew a cloud of smoke into
the air.  Everyone in town is talking how you ve been standing out on the porch for the
past twenty minutes in nothing but a coat. And now that I can see it s true, I m thinking
they re right. You must be fighting with your fiancé. Want me to slap some sense into
him?
 He d tear you into toothpicks.
Brad smiled.  If you don t get your bony butt inside before you freeze to death, I ll slap
some sense into you. I m all geared up for a wedding tomorrow. I don t want to go to
your funeral.
She waved him off, laughing lightly, and returned to Michael s side. He was sound
asleep.
She shook him until he awakened. Michael was definitely having difficulty adjusting to
Barrow s lack of sunlight. But by this time tomorrow, he needed to be awake and ready
to marry her at this time of day.  See, she said, holding out her arms.  Not a damn
goose bump. You were worried I couldn t stand the thought of drinking blood, and what
I miss is feeling normal.
 Would you just come back to bed? Michael asked, his voice heavy with the inability
to think straight. The twinkle in his eyes let her know that he wasn t planning on falling
back asleep. Mmm .... now that she could handle. There were definite advantages to
being with a vampire. Michael was right. The sex was great.
 Everyone is talking about whether or not we ll get married tomorrow, she said,
snuggling next to him.
He shivered. He actually shivered.  Damn, you re cold. Your body must be forty
degrees.
 Maybe there is something wrong with me. You can feel cold, but it doesn t bother me.
What if I m like Marianne?
 You aren t, he assured her.  That I m sure of.
She sighed as his warm hands started moving across her breasts, teasing her taut nipples
against his palms. Still, now that Marianne was a subject of conversation, she forced
herself to lie perfectly still.  I can t believe you invited her to our wedding.
 What better way to set in her mind that she needs to move on?
That was probably true. But that didn t mean she had to like that Michael was right.
 You falsified a marriage license, then the annulment. That should have sent her the
message.
Michael tweaked one nipple while he caressed her clit. The feelings were too intense to
ignore. Victrina was irritated with Michael for trying to distract her.  Would you stop
that? It isn t fair.
He leaned over her and grasped her second nipple between his teeth, biting softly.
Victrina s sex clenched tightly, as she reached out and grasped his cock. She rubbed the
tip of him. His body shivered beneath her touch.
She still owes you a big apology. But she does have her good moments and, after all, if
it wasn t for her actions, I wouldn t have changed you. I thought we should invite her so
we can thank her personally.
You re much too forgiving. She wound her fingers into his hair, pulling him up toward
her lips as she wrapped her legs around his waist, opening to him as his hard member
slid into her moist and ready and very needy flesh.
Michael shivered when his cock was fully sheathed within her. Why on earth did you
stand outside so long? Go take a bath and warm up first.
Victrina laughed as she clenched her inner muscles.  I might not feel hot and ready for
you, but believe me, I am.
He lifted one brow as she arched her hips against him. He lifted his hips and shafted
slowly into her again, then again. The sound of his cock sliding into her was all that she
could hear over the rush of blood through both of their bodies. She could feel his heart
beating, feel his pleasure as he moved within her.
That was another advantage in having sex with a vampire. There was nothing to hide.
Touch me, Michael. I want to feel you everywhere at once.
He reached between them, twirling his finger around her clit until she moaned. Even if
she hadn t begged for his touch, he always knew exactly what she wanted, yet every
time seemed new and exciting.
 I could always join you, he said softly, his cock taking her slowly, sliding into her at a
maddeningly slow pace that helped build the tension between them.
 You are joining me, she said.  I love how I can feel your body too. Feel your blood.
Sense what you feel when you sink into me. I love knowing how much you want me.
 I meant in the bath, he whispered against her ear, licking the side of her neck.
 Later, she commanded.
He smiled at her, angling his neck.  Then drink. That ll even out our temperatures.
Victrina poked his side.  Didn t anyone warn you that us Eskimo girls like to snuggle up
to get warm on cold winter nights?
Repeatedly. I thought I explained that was the ability that I was seeking out when I
found you at Harvard?
If you re implying you wanted me for sex and not my mind, it s a lucky thing you re so
damn good-looking yourself. The sharp pang of her fangs extending hit her, and she
closed her lips over Michael s neck. She bit him softly, reveling in the love she felt as
his blood flowed down her throat. As he warmed her both physically and mentally, she
concentrated on what he was feeling. Everything was that clear when they were joined
like this. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
