After a few seconds pass though, I feel something else. I grab his wrist and moan. I can’t get enough, his blood is addictive, like being high, giving me a floating feeling. Better than I ever thought possible. I feel his hand brush my hair back before I hear him press his head back onto the shower door.
“Good girl,” I hear him mutter. After a few minutes, he pulls his hand away. I miss it almost immediately before realizing I’m actually drinking someone’s blood.
I gasp when I have no pain, none at all, if it weren’t for the blood staining my skin, I wouldn’t believe I was injured. I move my wrist, waiting for the sharp pain, but it doesn’t come.
I look up at Theo, and he winks at me before kissing the top of my head and pulling me against him. I let him, leaning into him more. My body feels amazing and tingly. I feel like I can run a marathon, no more aches or pains even the migraine that was starting to form disappears. Theo reaches for the soap and pushes me back under the water.
Blood and dirt run down my legs, I’m filthy. He washes me quickly before turning me around to wash my hair. His fingers massage my scalp so good that I almost fall asleep standing upright. When he’s done, he rinses me off before washing himself and turning the taps off.
I step out of the shower just as Tobias walks in with two towels. He wraps one around me before pulling me into the bedroom.
“Tom?” I ask. Theo growls from behind me, stepping closer. I flinch and move closer to Tobias.
“He is at home with his wife. I promise he is okay.” I nod.
I dry myself, and Theo walks out of the walk-in dressed and passes me my pajamas. I turn to walk into the bathroom to put them on when Tobias grabs my wrist.
“No, get dressed here; you don’t go anywhere by yourself from now on.” I look at Theo, who is watching, his face expressionless.
I look back to Tobias, the look on his face is daring me to disobey him. I drop my towel right in front of him. My eyes don’t leave his as I slip my pajamas on. I don’t care that they see me naked, they obviously have more times now then I can count. What I do care about though is not being given any privacy.
I fold my arms over my chest defiantly. Tobias clicks his tongue, annoyed at me glaring at him. He stands up, his chest pressing against mine. “You ever pull something like that again…” I look down at the ground to get away from his gaze. He grips my chin, forcing my head back to look at him. “I will let Theo go back and kill not only Tom, but his entire family. Understood?” I can feel tears brimming. “Understood?” I don’t say anything which angers him slightly, his grip on my chin getting tighter. “Understood?” His eyes burn into mine. I feel Theo press up against my back. I swallow quickly, trying to get moisture back in my mouth that has turned dry as a desert.
“Yes, understood,” I whisper. He turns my head slightly before looking up at Theo and nodding. He lets go and pulls me to him. Wrapping his arms around my waist, he puts his head in my neck, running his nose from the crook of my neck to my chin, inhaling my scent before gently pressing his lips to mine.
I feel his tongue brush my bottom lip, but I don’t react. He becomes more forceful, and I give in parting my lips, I kiss him back. Theo steps closer to me, running his nose along my shoulder to behind my ear. I shiver at the contrast of hot and cold, Theo’s husky voice in my ear. “You won’t run again, will you, Imogen?”
My stomach tightens, arousal flooding me. “No,” I moan into Tobias’s mouth, right now I will tell them anything they want to hear, loving the feel of them touching my skin. The voice in my head tells me this is wrong, that I shouldn’t allow this after everything that happened, but I feel an even greater pull towards them, my body acting on its own.
Eventually, my mind submits to the feeling of their hands caressing and touching my skin. I lean back into Theo and I feel Tobias hands move to my face, his lips hungrily devouring mine. Theo’s hands go underneath my shirt and run across my stomach before moving to my breasts. Then, I’m suddenly hit with a need that I know isn’t mine but that of Theo’s. His fangs graze my neck sharp on my soft skin.
Theo’s teeth press harder and harder against my skin as he hungrily sucks on my soft flesh, I flinch when his fangs pierce my skin, before relaxing into him. I can feel his tongue lapping and sucking at the bite mark as he drinks my blood. I thought it’s supposed to hurt, they said his bite is painful, but I feel euphoric, tingling spreads throughout my body. I can feel my temperature rising, despite the coldness of his body pressing into mine.
Tobias steps back, watching, waiting for him to stop. Theo pulls his mouth away, some of my blood running down my shoulder. Tobias wipes it with the towel on the floor. I lean back into Theo, suddenly feeling a little queasy. It doesn’t feel like he drank from me long but why the aftereffects? Theo wipes his lips with his thumb before sucking it into his mouth. I look up at him, his grip on my waist holding me tight against his body.
“I thought you said it would hurt when he bites me?” I ask Tobias.
“Must be the mate bond, it hurt for years when he fed on me until I marked him, I just assumed since you’re human it would be painful.” I nod.
“It’s probably the mate bond kicking in. I must say you taste way better than Tobias,” he says with a chuckle.
Tobias crosses his arms. “Well then, you can feed off her, if I taste so bad.” He pouts, I roll my eyes at their bickering.
“I never said you tasted bad, but you try eating the same thing for years, it gets a little boring after a while.” Tobias doesn’t seem pleased with his answer.
“Come, you should eat,” Tobias says, grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the room.
