veins. He was poised to take her right then and there, more than ready to receive her long-awaited bite. She had positioned herself perfectly for his entry and for her bite. He hovered between ecstasy and anguish, teetering on a dangerous precipice.
He slid one hand into the thick of her lustrous mane to gently pull her head back. Tears pooled in her eyes at his refusal to let her continue. One of them had to stop. To become his Senhora Do Sangue , a ritual with witnesses was crucial. He could never allow any room for doubt concerning her new status.
He could barely breathe while staring at her through half-closed eyes. “I’m sorry, my sweet. Your first bite must take place as part of a ritual.”
She didn’t say anything. Silent tears slid over flushed cheeks. He felt her suffering—the hellish torment of longing to bite with no recourse. Lovingly he kissed her tears away then held her close, cradling her head to his chest until the agony subsided.
“Tomorrow, love,” he whispered. “You are now strong enough to take my blood. Your physical symptoms and the way you made me feel are…indescribable.”
“We will seal our blood tomorrow?” She tilted her face upward, eyes lucid with hope.
“Yes. Tomorrow you will become my Senhora Do Sangue .”
“Will you let me keep the clothes even after the ritual?”
“Of course.” He smiled in adoration. “You are too sweet. The way you love me is sincere.”
“You are the only real love I’ve ever had.” She looked down at the white garments lying on the bed. “I see the stains came out, but they will no longer carry your scent. I will miss that.”
“I can put them on again if you like.”
“Yes! I like.” She snatched the vest off the bed, then gave him a mischievous smile. “Put them on just as you are…no underwear.”
He laughed. “You’re such a vamp!” He pulled the jeans on, then buttoned the fly. Her hungry eyes stimulated him. “They’re a bit tighter tonight,” he teased, adjusting his erect cock beneath the denim. Her sudden onslaught had made him rock hard again. Taking the vest, he slipped into it.
“Mm, you look wicked hot.” She straightened the single collar around his neck, then clutched the wide lapels to draw him close. “I wanna taste you.” Her hands dropped to his waist before gliding over his backside. “You have no idea how I’ve longed to touch you in this outfit.”
His head dipped to seek a kiss, filling her mouth with his seeking tongue. She isn’t the only one craving a taste! But she is the only one undressed. In one move he gripped her thighs and lifted her off the floor while they kissed wildly. Her stronghold on his hair thrilled him. Fiery and feral—she curled around him like a python taking its prey.
They fell onto the bed, heating up for another round of passion.
Just as she began tugging his clothes off, the doorbell rang.
“Ah…fuck,” he growled between jagged breaths. “Who the hell can that be?” He glanced at the clock to see the time was just past midnight.
“Ignore them,” she said between gasps. “Maybe they’ll think we’re sleeping.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than loud rapping sounded on the door downstairs.
“Doesn’t sound like they’re going away.” He took a deep, calming breath before making a move to reluctantly slide off the bed. “I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”
He gave her a promising wink, then kissed her stomach. She playfully messed his hair before letting him get up. After zipping his jeans, he pouted his lips and with a slight, upward tilt of his chin kissed the air while gazing at her.

Fluttery sensations filled her stomach. He’s so damn sexy! She watched him slip out the door and close it behind him, then listened to his footsteps going down the stairs.
Tomorrow! I can’t wait! Tomorrow our union will be consummated! She flopped back on the bed, eagerly awaiting his return.
Muffled voices could be heard on
