slurping noises as she eagerly sucked him dry. She squeezed his highly sensitive balls, milking him of every drop of his essence. Maggie lifted her head and shuddered against him, signaling her own orgasm.
    “GianMarco!” she screamed. Maggie collapsed and rested her head against Dante’s belly.
    Marco pulled out and took Maggie into his arms. A satisfied smile spread across her dark face as she turned to welcome Marco’s embrace.
    An irrational sense of jealously ripped through Dante and he spun her roughly to face him. He grabbed a handful of her hair before his mouth crashed down on hers. She whimpered under the pressure of his insistent kiss. Maggie pushed at his chest, but her strength did not come close to matching his and he was determined to have her.
    She managed to twist her head away from his. Her eyes were wide with bewilderment. “Dante, no!”
    Marco pulled them apart, his amber eyes glowing with fury. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Dante?”
    Dante loosened his grip on Maggie, and she scrambled away from him. Fear and anger stamped her face, and those were the last emotions he ever wanted her to feel toward him. What had he done? He knew it would be a bad idea to join him but she was his weakness.
    “I was only supposed to be a feeding. I thought...” Marco’s voice trailed off. He stared at Dante as if he were looking at a stranger. It was more than Dante could take.
    “Yes, you were feeling sorry for me, so you decided to throw me a bone.” Dante got off the bed and quickly threw his clothing on. “We shouldn’t have done this. I have to leave.”
    Marco touched his mind. Don’t go like this. What just happened?
    It’s no good. This thing I have for her ... I don’t understand. She is your bloodmate, yet ... I’m sorry.
    I don’t understand either. I didn’t think it possible for a vampire to have more than one bloodmate.
    It isn’t, but ... Dio! I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
    Maybe —
    Please don’t try to analyze it.
    When will we see you again?
    I don’t know. I have a lead in Germany I must investigate. Perhaps when I’m back in the States I’ ll visit ... with Maggie’s permission, of course.
    To his surprise, Maggie slid off the bed. She grabbed her clothes and held it against her body. “Dante, if you could just give me a minute to get dressed, I’d like for you to wait for me outside.”
    He wasn’t sure what she had to say to him but if Maggie told him to never come back, it was no more than he deserved. He looked to his brother who shrugged.
    Dante bowed his head in acquiescence. “Okay.”
    He only had to wait a few moments before Maggie joined him in the living room, fully dressed. There was a caution in her step that had never been there before. At least not with him.
    She offered him a tentative smile. “Dante.”
    The awkwardness of the moment broke his heart. The ease in which they used to communicate was absent. “Marco isn’t joining us?”
    “He’s taking a quick shower. It’s okay because I wanted to speak with you in private.”
    “Look, I’m sorry—”
    She held up her hand to cut him off. “There’s no need to apologize. I just wanted you to know I’m not angry with you, I was just caught off guard is all. I’m still new to the ways of vampire protocol, but what happened in there was more than just a feeding to you, wasn’t it? I mean, I understand that the act itself is supposed to be pleasurable but I felt that a line was somehow crossed.”
    Dante bowed his head in shame. “I understand if I’m no longer welcome here.”
    Maggie surprised him again by stepping closer and gently taking his face in her palms. “Promise me you won’t beat yourself up over this. You mean a lot to GianMarco and it would disappoint him if you kept yourself in exile.”
    “And you? How do you feel?” He had to be a glutton for punishment to ask her a question he already knew the answer to.
    “I care about you too. We’re family. I-I love
