In Blood and Worth Loving (29 page)
“What about the women you—”
“There won’t be any other women. Just you. You’re the one I hunger for and need to complete me. You’re the only woman I can’t be happy or content without.”
“So you won’t want to share me with your brothers?”
“Hell no! I’m not sharing you with anyone.”
She sighed. Thank God. “You and your brothers don’t share your women?”
“We used to when we were much younger and new vampires. But even then we only shared women who didn’t mean anything to us.”
“How many women meant something to you, Adrian?”
“None. There were a few that I liked more than others, but none of them were important. We don’t share our blood with anyone else. So you can come live with me without any fear that you’ll wake up one morning and find either Conner or Jay sharing your bed instead of me.”
Come live with him? Was he rescinding his marriage proposal already? Surely a man who claimed to need and want her so much should ask her to marry him and actually mean it.
She bit her lip. She’d have to accept what he was willing to give her. Maybe vampires didn’t do marriage. She’d discover that soon enough. Besides, they’d only known each other two weeks. If she moved in with him, she’d have all the time she needed to work on nudging him toward admitting he loved her. Once he had, whether he liked it or not, marriage was in his future.
“Brandi?”
“Yes,
Adrian
?”
“You don't want to sleep with either of them. Do you?”
“No! I didn't even dance with Conner. I sure as hell don't want to sleep with him. He looks like you, but...”
“He's not me?” He sounded pleased.
Her lips twitched. “No, he's not. He's far more charming than you'll ever be.”
He narrowed his gaze. “You think so?”
“Absolutely, but he’s not bad enough for me. You are just what I want and need, my handsome, blue-eyed vampire.”
He relaxed his shoulders. “Will you?”
“Live with you?”
“No! Marry me?”
She’d misunderstood his reference about living with him. He did want to marry her! “Yes. Oh, yes, I will,
Adrian
.”
He gave her a slow, tender smile.
“Even though I’m not sure you won’t change your mind.”
“There’s not a chance in hell of that happening, honey. I’ve had my fill of whoring around with women who mean absolutely nothing to me. I’m more than ready for a world of just two-you and me. I’ll treat you like the treasure you are. I promise.”
“Really? Is this promise good for more than one night?”
He stared down at her in silence before his chest shook and the bedroom was filled with the rich, warm sound of his laughter. He bent his head and brushed his lips against hers. “It’s good forever.”
“Forever,” she stroked her fingers through his hair. “I like the sound of forever with you, Adrian Redwolfe.”
“Forever with you won’t be nearly long enough,” he whispered.
“You’re sounding more and more like a vampire in blood with me,” she teased.
“In deep,” he assured her.
“How long does being in blood last,
Adrian
?”
“It lasts forever, my Brandi, my honey…my blood.”
His blood. Finally he’d called her his blood with as much passion and feeling as she’d used when she confessed to loving him.
He bent his head to kiss her with a slow, deliberate hunger that left her burning for him. She suspected that loving him wouldn’t be easy, but as she surrendered to her need for him, she knew that being his blood would make whatever came her way as his woman pale in comparison to the bliss they’d share—forever.
“So you think I’m worth loving?” He demanded, his incisors raking the side of her neck.
She pushed at his shoulders.
He rolled onto his back with her lying on top of him.
“Yes, blue eyes. You’re definitely worth loving.” She sat up, straddled his hips and reached back to press his cock against her entrance. “And worth fucking too,” she teased as she slowly impaled herself on his hard, hot cock. Lord, that felt so good.
He groaned. “Damn good and getting better all the time, honey.”
She smiled. Great sex with him was never going to get old. She liked that he expected sex to get better.
“I have a lot to teach you, honey.” He caressed her stomach. “I have a lot to teach you both.”
She met his gaze. “You think I’m pregnant?”
“Yes. Don’t you?”
She nodded. “Yes. I do.”
“Are you okay with it if you are?”
She felt certain she was pregnant and that she would have to work hard to soften
Adrian
a little. But he was always going to be a vampire. She was okay with that. She reached back to cup her hand over his balls. “Are you?”
He nodded. “Oh, yes. This couldn’t have happened at a better time. I’m ready to settle down now and be a husband and father. And you’re the perfect woman for me, honey. What about you? I know you have some doubts and concerns.”
She nodded.
He caressed her cheek. “I’ll cherish you both forever. I never imagined I could be this content and happy. You have my fidelity for life. I’ve had my fill of whoring around. I won’t stray.”
“Neither will I,” she quipped.
He grinned up at her. “Good. Now just in case you’re not pregnant, we’d better start fucking and keep at it.”
She rotated her hips. “Hmmm. For how long?”
He slid his palms down her back to her ass. “Forever, my Brandi…my blood.”
His Brandi. His blood. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
