Bitter Bite (18 page)

“Touch her clit.” Alaric grabbed Gideon’s free arm and drew it
down to Hannah’s pussy.

Gideon slid his fingers between her wet folds. Her clit was
swollen and hot. He flicked it, knowing it stung her a little, but the emotions
washing through him told him she liked it like that.

“More,” she begged brokenly.

I could get used to this consort bond.
Gideon fucked harder into Alaric,
legs burning with effort. His cock felt like a vise had been clamped around it.
With a sharp cry, Alaric’s pleasure burst from him in waves, tying the three of
them together as the vampire climaxed. Gideon bit Hannah again, drawing blood.
She bucked, almost throwing him off.

Sweet Jesus
, Gideon thought, hips still
moving. Alaric’s hoarse groan told him the vampire could taste her emotions through
the bond and Gideon sucked at the wound, lost in the moment. Hannah keened, and
her cunt rippled around Gideon’s fingers as she orgasmed. Pleasure crashed
through him. His cock swelled. Gideon sucked in a quick breath and thrust one
last time as he came, pushing hard into Alaric until he couldn’t hold himself
up anymore. He slid to the side, taking Hannah and Alaric with him. Aftershocks
prickled his skin and he shuddered as he fought dizziness.

“Whoa,” Hannah said, trembling.

Gideon’s softening cock slid out and Alaric sighed. “Are you
okay?” he asked.

“Of course.” Alaric eased Hannah onto her back and kissed her.

Gideon couldn’t resist. He kissed her, too, then cupped Alaric’s
cheek. “Lover,” he murmured.

Alaric smiled and leaned in. Gideon kissed him, heart in his
throat.

“That’s perfect,” Hannah said, smiling up at them. She was so
happy she thought she might burst.

Gideon laughed. He looked younger than she remembered. Lighter.
“Yes. It is perfect.”

Alaric kissed him again, then drew Hannah into his arms. She
snuggled in, enjoying his strength.

“I would give up eternity for you both,” Alaric said,
unexpectedly.

Hannah frowned. “
Did
you
give up eternity?” He wasn’t going to die, was he? Not now that they’d just
found each other?

Alaric shook his head, putting his fingers to her lips. “Shh, no
worries. I am still a vampire.” He paused. “But you are no longer mortal, my
love.”

Living that long with him would be a blessing. She turned to
Gideon. His hazel eyes held the same peace she felt deep in her heart. “I’m
good with immortality,” she said, grinning like a fool. “I love you.”

“As am I,” Gideon said, running a hand over Alaric’s shoulder. “We
have love. That is all that matters.”

“Indeed,” Alaric said. The harsh lines of his face relaxed, and
Hannah knew she was truly seeing
him
for the first time. He wasn’t just a monster. He was her consort and a man who
remembered that strength and humanity was something one chose for one’s life.

She kissed him and Gideon, telling them with her body how much she
loved them, and then she settled down between them and closed her eyes. She
wasn’t a monster, either.

I choose love.
