“How do we free ourselves from this torment?” “I don’t know if I want to be free.” His gaze drops farther, to my neck. “You might be torture and temptation incarnate. But you are strength and power. You are damnation and salvation trapped in curves that should be forbidden.”

What does my heart say? “That…I feel for you,” I confess. “That I want to keep learning who you are and knowing you.” “And I feel for you.” He pulls me a bit closer, his hands still around mine. “I ache for you. I burn for you. I want you.”

“Kiss me.” “There you are, commanding the vampir lord again.” “What are you going to do about it?” The words are coy, sensual, said on the back of my tongue with the edge of a grin. “I’m going to kiss you, just as you command.”

“If we’ve ‘hardly done anything’ then how have you become my everything?”
