anyway.”
    “I consider Neo a friend worth fighting for so I’ve no doubt we’ll work out our problems. It’s you I want to be there for. Right now ensuring your safety means everything to me,” Gunnar admitted.
    Ramiro cupped the side of Gunnar’s face. “And I feel the same way about you. I want to spend the rest of my days sleeping at your side.”
    Gunnar leant in to Ramiro’s gentle touch. “I’d like that.”

    Gunnar stood in the corner of the conference room with his arms crossed. It hadn’t taken long for Neo and Spiro to agree to Ramiro’s plan. Although they had promised his safety for the act itself, they could not promise a safe return if he decided to go after Ian after learning all he could from the Royal Donor’s blood.
    When the donor was brought in, Gunnar ground his teeth. The slim man draped in a red, sheer robe was breathtaking. He knew Ramiro had specifically requested the man because he was one of Ian’s favourite food sources. Protests were on the tip of Gunnar’s tongue, but he managed to hold his words at bay. Understanding Ramiro’s reasoning behind the chosen donor didn’t mean he had to like it.
    A chuckle from beside him got his attention. Spiro was openly watching Gunnar and had obviously read Gunnar’s emotions. “Relax,” Spiro whispered. “It is but a single bite.”
    “Easy for you to say,” Gunnar returned without thinking. Spiro had never had a special someone in his life. Only a select few knew Nialo , Morwyn’s twin, was to be Spiro’s mate.
    With his left hand slowly stroking Sema’s black fur, Spiro sobered immediately. “Yes, you’re right, of course.”
    “Please excuse my hasty reply,” Gunnar apologised.
    Spiro shook his head. “It is I who should apologise. I spoke without knowledge.”
    Sema took the opportunity to nuzzle against Spiro’s hip. It seemed even a black jaguar could sense Spiro’s unhappiness.
    Gunnar returned his attention to the ongoing activity in the room. Ramiro had explained the need to bring the Royal Donor to orgasm at the precise moment he inflicted the bite. It wasn’t something Gunnar was unaware of, but hearing Ramiro describe step by step the process he would use to bring the donor’s fulfilment was much easier than actually watching it take place.
    Ramiro turned his head and made eye contact with Gunnar as he continued to jerk the donor’s cock through the robe’s opening. “Feel my hand,” Ramiro mouthed silently.
    Gunnar felt an unseen hand wrap around his own cock. As his cock hardened, Gunnar wondered how many tricks Ian had taught Ramiro over the years. More importantly, he seethed over where the lessons had no doubt taken place.
    A deep, rumbling noise came from Ramiro’s throat as the unseen hold on Gunnar’s cock tightened. The sound and action drew Gunnar out of his head to focus squarely on the pleasure his beautiful vampire was providing.
    “ Aahhh .” Gunnar let the moan slip from between his lips.
    Suddenly aware of what was happening, Neo turned himself and Michael around to face the wall. He whispered something in Michael’s ear and his mate nodded, draping an arm around Neo’s waist.
    Gunnar leant against the corner at his back and thrust his hips, pressing his cock against the unseen hands. He couldn’t stop his body’s reaction to Ramiro’s touch. He quickly unzipped his jeans, afraid of coming in his clothes. He pulled the handkerchief, Ramiro had handed him earlier, out of his front pocket, understanding suddenly dawning on him. Ramiro had known exactly what he’d planned to do. He’d also known what Gunnar’s reaction would be.
    When his release came, it was the Royal Donor whose cries were heard echoing in the room. Gunnar caught the majority of his seed in the soft, white material and stared as Ramiro’s sharp fangs slid with ease into the donor’s artery.
    What happened next surprised everyone in the room. Ramiro’s body began to jerk as he fed. Sweat,
