A Taste for Blood by Erin Lark Read Free Book Online Page A

I’ve earned this right, and every mark you see is something I wear with pride. They aren’t painful. I don’t hate Alex or any of the others for putting them there. In fact, I’m thankful. These scars only go skin deep. There are others who have done much worse. I promise you, another bite won’t hurt.”
    Kassy held out a hand, tracing the pink tissue on Zee’s neck and wrists. She stopped when she reached for Zee’s breasts. “May I?”
    Zee lifted her gaze at me. “Up to him. Alex?”
    I rubbed at my eyes. If I’d told Kassy to slow down last night, she probably would’ve given me a dirty look. But now? Now she wanted to take her time, and I was loving every second of it. I watched them—Kassy in her thin gown and Zee wearing nothing but the marks I’d given her.
    “You may touch,” I said, nodding to Kassy. “But remember the rules—you’re only to bite her neck and wrists. Those other marks are from private sessions.”
    “Among other things,” Zee added, raising her eyebrows at me.
    Still a little hesitant, Kassy held out her hand, allowing her fingertips to brush Zee’s breast whenever her digits got close. I sucked in a breath as Kassy touched the marks I’d left ages ago—back when Zee was new and had sought me out for personal lessons on how to deal with unruly vampires. It was one of the first times I’d ever bitten a human anywhere else on the body, and to this day was one of my favourite places to bite on Kassy.
    This isn’t sexual. This isn’t sexual.
    Even as Zee shifted her weight to straddle Kassy’s legs, I had to remind myself that this was strictly business. Zee just had a very specific way of doing things. Of course, it probably didn’t help that I was in the same room and had already made it clear I wasn’t here to play.
    Tell that to the rest of your body.
    My cock hardened, and it took more than a little effort on my part not to reach for Zee and touch her myself. Even as Kassy placed her palm on Zee’s hip, I couldn’t help thinking of what it would be like to watch them kiss. To taste. Touch.
    Fuck.
    I groaned, adjusting myself so the pressure against my cock went from almost painful to uncomfortable. My moment of weakness didn’t go unnoticed, and Kassy leaned her head back to kiss me on the lips. She batted her eyes as I went to pull away, Zee’s coy smile seeming to have infected her.
    Taking a breath, I tried not to think about how Kassy hadn’t even bitten Zee yet. How this was just her first drink of the day. How long it would be until we got back to our room. Or the amount of stairs that stood between the basement and our bedroom.
    Just keep it together a little while longer. I was beginning to wonder if I should’ve been the one wearing the collar with Kassy holding the other end of it. And when she looked at me, I almost lost it. Her neck still bore the marks I’d left last night and earlier this morning, and just as the flesh had yet to heal, I hadn’t yet forgotten how it felt to bite her. Be bitten by her. Taste and be tasted.
    Fuck it.
    I couldn’t wait any longer. If Kassy didn’t bite Zee soon, I would. Laws or not, I was determined to fuck one of them or both if I had to.
    Whatever it takes to get rid of this damned hard-on!
    Unbuttoning my pants, I breathed around my relief as the pressure on my cock dissipated. While Kassy continued her thorough inspection of Zee’s vampire-bitten body, I thrust into my palm, shuddering from the brief contact.
    “Need some help?” Zee teased, dismounting from Kassy’s lap.
    “I can come back if—”
    Zee pressed her lips to mine before I could finish. “Who said we wanted you to leave?”
    I swallowed, and somewhere in the back of my mind I knew I wasn’t allowed to do anything sexual to Zee, but the same couldn’t be said for Kassy. And hell if I wasn’t going to take advantage of that fact. Gripping the chain in my hand, I tugged at Kassy’s collar, directing her to my lap. She licked her lips and
