I died... and then I died again. "Vale," I moaned, my voice fractured. He met my gaze, his heart racing. "Yes, baby." I whimpered softly, my breath hitching as his name escaped my lips once more. "V-Vale-!" "You want to make a mess in your pants again, don't you?" He asked, locking his gaze with my watery eyes as he pulled my face down to meet his by my throat. "Such a naughty vampire, you were so messy and sticky all over your thighs just earlier, and now you want to do it again," he murmured hoarsely, watching as I cried out in response. Where had all that macho boldness disappeared? He wondered. Just moments ago, I was ready to drive him insane with my teasing, and now I was a mess, a puddle melting away in his hands, completely at his mercy. The power dynamic shifted, and he reveled in my surrender, eager to push me further into this wild desire. **** Talon/Virgil faces an agonizing cycle of deaths.
