Black Thorns - Book 1

Chapter 23

"That is Silvia Drake, she is my younger sister."

My crimson eyes flicker to Erin as he pulls his pants back up on his form. Grabbing his shirt he too pulls it over top of his perfect body once again.

Oh I am pissed. He was actually willingly for me to make him mine for the night. I was finally about to have sex with the man I am crazy in love with, with my mate. But now? Now I know I will never get the chance again. Clenching my hand into a first, I hold back a deep growl. "I need to leave." The words however, left my lips in a deep mutter showing my displeasure.

My body walked towards the window when Erin ran towards me. "You can't go that way Drake! She saw you, Silvia will want to meet you." Stopping dead in my tracks, I looked at Erin as he nervously rubbed at the back of his neck.

"And what will you tell her Erin?" I needed to know his answer. I needed to know if he would tell her I was just some random guy to him, that meant nothing. With my first still clenched in anger, I stared at the male before me.

"Drake, your hand..." He whispered as I glanced down at my fist, and saw the sparks emitting from it. "When was the last time you fed?" His voice was soft, and the concern was evident in his words.

"When I last fed off of you. What will you tell your sister Erin? She will ask who I am to you." Ignoring my power surging in my hand, I needed to know his answer.

Watching Erin walk up to me, he smiled in a shy manner. "The truth." At his whisper my eyes grew wide, as he panicked and shook his head. "Not the complete truth obviously. She would think I went crazy if I said you were a vampire, and I was your mate." He blurted that out, and it was oddly cute to hear. "But I will tell her that you're my..." He nervously bit at his lower lip, his sparkling eyes looked towards his feet as his face blushed. "That you're my boyfriend." He whispered it quietly, yet I heard every word.

"Erin." My body moved on its own, as I found myself grasping his shoulders and pushing him against the wall. My lips were against his in a heated kiss in a matter of seconds. Breaking the kiss so he could catch his breath, I smiled as I spoke the next words. "You think of me as you boyfriend?"

"Drake, I'm not the type of guy who goes around kissing just anyone." Erin muttered shyly. "Though Drake, you n-need to feed." Watching him, his head leaned to the side, exposing his supple neck to me. "Drake please, your p-powers." Watching Erin, I saw him slightly flinch in pain from my electrifying touch.

Leaning in towards his neck, I made quick work of sinking my fangs deep into his smooth soft skin.

"Nngh!" Damn how I get turned on, when he makes such noises as I feed off him.

Removing my fangs, my forehead leans gently against his. "Erin, did I hurt you?"

He knew what I meant, as he whispered softly. "It felt just like a little shock, nothing too bad." His voice was soft as he gazed at me. "Drake, you have some blood." Staring into this beautiful eyes, he raised his hand and with his thumb he wiped the corner of my mouth.

"I really must go. My cousins, if I am gone much longer they will come looking for me."

"What happened? Blayze wouldn't even tell me. Drake, are you all in danger?

"Erin, I wish not to get you involved. Though I must tell you, I may not be able to return to you in another couple of days. I shouldn't have even come here tonight, but I had to see you."

"Drake." My mates hands clenched at my leather jacket, "You're scaring me, what is happening?"

"What is happening, is I need to keep you safe Erin. And if you are with me, it would only put you in even more danger." I would never forgive myself if hunters learned Erin was my mate. "I must go, tell your sister I left through the back door or something. Forgive me Erin." Moving away from him, his hands fell from my jacket as I opened up his bedroom window.
