Free Half in Love [Willie Krenshaw] (Siren Publishing Classic) by Lea Barrymire Page B

steps. “Sorry. I keep forgetting you have a thing about vampires. You just smell so damn good that I can’t seem to help myself.”
    “Whatever. Did you want me to get you a snack, or do you want to feed out there?” She refused to look at him, staring intently into the phonebook. She could sense him standing next to her, and she was waging her own internal battle. Already her resolve was weakening. She wanted to step close to him and wrap herself around his body, or have him wrap her up. She wanted to swoon like some fucking girl from a Southern romance novel.
    “I could eat.” He snickered when she flicked her gaze up. She relaxed a little at his teasing. “I don’t care what flavor the delivery guy is, so you pick the food type.”
    “Okay, Italian it is. I’m going to call Mario’s because they make the best chicken parm in the city. If Mikey is on deliveries, you’ll enjoy him. He’s pretty tasty.” She laughed at the look of consternation that crossed Nick’s face. Was that jealousy that flashed through his eyes? She turned to the wall phone and placed her order. They had about twenty minutes to waste before her order was ready.
    “So, what do you want to do while we wait?” She knew as soon as the question was out of her mouth that she should’ve bit her tongue off. When his eyes turned molten under half-closed lids, she knew that she needed to backpedal quickly. “I mean, do you want to watch TV, maybe a movie? I have satellite so we could watch anything you want. Maybe there is a vampire movie on SyFy.”
    He chuckled at her attempt at levity and let the moment go. She felt almost sorry that he hadn’t pushed her or popped out a sexual innuendo. She was disgusted with herself for even thinking that. She berated herself as she led Nick to the living room. She plopped into her favorite chair and tossed him the remote. At least she could let him pick the channel. She just hoped that the delivery guy showed up soon. Hunger for more than food raised her temperature. She needed a distraction before she did something stupid like jump the vampire taking up residence on her sofa.

    “Mario’s was definitely a good pick.” Nick finished closing the wounds on Mikey’s neck with a quick lick and glanced up to find Willie staring, transfixed. Her eyes were glazed over, and she was breathing heavily. He laughed to himself. With that look in her eye, he was sure that she’d never seen a vampire feed before, and from the smell of her arousal, she liked watching. If he knew she would enjoy watching so much, he would’ve gone slower. Pity, but maybe he could feed again tonight and make a real show of it.
    “Mm, uh?” She shook her head and blushed a delicate shade of pink. The rush of blood to color her cheeks was such a tantalizing sight. He could see the tips of her elongated canines peeking between her parted lips. The glimpse of her vampire nature caused his cock to harden. Gods, he wanted to kiss her again.
    “Well, let’s get Mikey on his way, and then we can plan out the evening, shall we?” He watched the mask of indifference slide slowly across her face again and already missed the open yearning that had been there. He sighed with the loss and stood quickly, lifting the college football player and sometimes delivery man off his lap. He set Mikey on his feet and quickly fuzzed his memory, reminding the behemoth of a man to take a vitamin later. No reason he couldn’t fortify the guy’s blood for the next time Willie ended up with him for a snack. He pushed a few bills into the confused delivery guy’s hands and ushered him out of Willie’s apartment.
    The idea of sharing a human between them was almost overpowering. The sensual state of feeding shared between lovers could be almost better than sex if done right. Or better yet to have sex while feeding together, sucking nourishing blood from a donor while pounding into a willing female. To share that experience with her would be
