Ric had been saying her name a lot since they turned up here, but not once had it been said the way he did just now. Instead of being filled with anger, this time, she could hear the desire in her name. The same desire coursed through her entire body. She wanted him. They couldn't be together, she knew that, but there was still an undeniable chemistry between husband and wife.
Her head tilted back as his lips trailed down, and feeling his teeth graze against the skin made her own teeth throb. Sex and bloodthirst often went together, but she wasn't going to bite him. She had no way of knowing if he had been drinking vervain, for one thing and for another she might be trying to keep him at an arms length--or further--but that didn't mean that she wanted to hurt him.
