Falling For a Hybrid by Marisa Chenery Read Free Book Online

unstoppable. It was intense and seemed to go on and on. Torger’s cock pulsed deep inside her pussy as he came. During it, there was a sharp pain in her neck as if he’d bit her. She was thrown into another release, and found herself on the verge of passing out as a sense of ecstasy swamped her.

    Torger couldn’t help himself. He sank his fangs into Rikki’s neck as they came and drank. Having his werewolf side claim her, form the bond that joined their souls, had made his control slip. And the taste of her blood, god, it was unlike anything he’d had before. All the donors he’d used over the long years couldn’t compare to his mate’s sweetness.
    As she sighed and grew limp, he quickly realized he’d taken too much blood. He hadn’t wanted to do it, but he’d put Rikki at risk. Torger licked his bite mark on her neck to seal and heal the wound before he brought the inside of his wrist to his mouth and bit.
    Once his blood rose to the surface, he placed his arm against her lips. “Drink, Rikki.”
    She was barely aware of what he did, but she closed her mouth on his wrist and drank. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to restore what he’d taken and to complete the first blood exchange. They were now well and truly on the road to his vampire side claiming her as his werewolf one had. There was no going back.
    Rikki sighed again, then fell into a deep sleep. Torger pulled out of her before he scooped her up into his arms. Once inside her bedroom, he tucked her into bed. He looked down at her. He loved her. He had from the moment he’d realized what she was to him.
    He went back into the living room and gathered up their strewn clothes. He smiled. They really had been impatient to have not even made it to the bed. He returned to the other room, then put their clothing on top the dresser before he slipped under the covers next to his mate. He wasn’t tired, but wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to watch her sleep.
    Torger pulled Rikki into his arms so she lay against his side. He kissed the top of her head. He was going to tell her everything about his world before he took that final step to bring her fully into it. With the second blood exchange, she’d be fully turned in to a vampire. She’d no longer be able to eat food. She’d subsist on his blood. Unlike other vamps, she’d be a day walker, and would be able to move freely while the sun was out.
    Once she awoke from her sleep, he promised himself he’d tell her the truth of what he was. Hopefully, she wouldn’t fear him afterward. When Brolach had found Waverly, he’d had to compel her not to be afraid. Torger didn’t want to resort to that unless it was absolutely necessary. Using compulsion on his mate wasn’t exactly something he should do to the woman he loved.

Chapter Five
     
    Rikki came awake and looked around, not sure where she was at first. Then it hit her that she was in the bedroom in her new apartment. She looked over at the window and saw it was still light out, but it wasn’t as bright as it had been before she’d fallen asleep. The clock on her bedside table showed it was early in the evening. Since it was edging near fall, it’d be getting dark soon.
    “Shit,” she said as she threw back the covers.
    It didn’t take her long to realize she was naked. It all came rushing back to her. She and Torger had made love in the living room after returning from the coffee shop. She must have fallen asleep right after. That was twice now he’d put her to bed.
    Rikki hoped Torger hadn’t left. As she spotted her clothes piled on top her dresser and went to get them, she sniffed something delicious coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Was he cooking them dinner?
    She dressed, then hurried out to the kitchen. Torger stood before the stove, stirring something in a pot. He was dressed as well. He turned his head and smiled as she came closer.
    “How long was I asleep?” she asked, then gave
