"You taste wonderful," Severin said, when Sonny sagged against him, warm and sweaty and so alive. He lifted his hand to his mouth and his tongue curled out, tasting the come on his fingers. "Blood and come both."
He reached down and wiped his hand on the tail of Sonny's robe. "This is your life now. Give me your respect and obedience, and you will have a good life, cared for, indulged. Everything here you may use--the library, the music room, the pool, the gardens, the stables. Stay on the grounds unless I or Edward send you on an errand."
Severin kissed the top of Sonny's head stroked over his shoulder and arm. "I will call you to feed or to go to your belly for me, but I will never hurt you unless I'm punishing you."
