choice—I didn’t have the right—”
    “Do you remember the last thing I said to you before I—before you had to save me?”
    “Yes, I do.” Desmond stood with his hands in his pockets and watched her brilliant green eyes with awe.
    “I said I wished I had more time, so when you think about it, I inadvertently asked you to turn me. There was no other way for you to grant my desire.”
    “Well…I never explained….”
    “You never told me, but you never denied being a vampire either.”
    “You never asked.” He grimaced. Not that anyone ever would.
    “Then we’re even.” She put her arms around his neck.
    A flutter in his stomach was followed by a growing sense of relief and he slid his hands around her waist. “So, how did Aldon find you?”
    “I suppose tracking down newborn vampires is a chore he has become accustomed to.” Ambrosia gave a sheepish grin as she stared up at him sliding her fingers along the corners of her mouth as though she were wiping it clean.
    “He found you in the hotel kitchen, didn’t he?”
    “Well, the meat locker, but I couldn’t find anything appealing there, except the smell of blood.”
    “Right, no livestock.” He chuckled. “You must be famished.”
    “Actually, we raided the medical clinic in town while we talked.”
    “Very resourceful.” Desmond smiled.
    “It was Aldon’s idea. He knew I wouldn’t be able to function if I didn’t get some nourishment.”
    “I see.” Desmond brushed her luxurious strawberry strands back from her face and caressed her cheek.
    “And can you please explain to me, what was that thing he did—when he figured out where I was?”
    “Oh, you mean the telepathy?”
    “Yeah, that.” She glowered.
    “Annoying, isn’t it?”
    “I would agree with that. I couldn’t hide from him because I heard his voice no matter how hard I tried to block out the sound.”
    Ambrosia trailed her fingers down his cheek, his throat and along his chest. “So, Desmond, I need you to answer just one more question for me tonight.”
    “What’s that?”
    “Since this is technically supposed to be a one-night stand, don’t you think we should honor our arrangement?
    “I believe that would be a big yes—and an unavoidable one at that.” Desmond gripped her hips pulling her tight against his growing hard on. She cupped her hand over his bulge, sending a shockwave of desire through his loins.
     
    Sliding her tongue along the razor-sharp tips of his fangs, she gasped at the stinging sensation as hers protruded for the first time, coupled with a surge of hunger for his touch. An acidic fluid leaked from her protruding teeth, sending a jolt of euphoria through her. Aldon had told her of the venom, but not of its effect upon her. A growing intensity took hold, enhanced by the lustful strokes of his steely fingers, the sensual brush of his powerful hands along the length of her body. Energy vibrating throughout her core heightened with each graze of his teeth along her flesh. Sensations and emotions she’d never experienced before took her prisoner and wouldn’t let her go.
    Ambrosia eased off the long overcoat, and grinned.
    “Ambrosia, this garment—” He worshiped the satin material with exploring fingers.
    “I saw it in the window of a gift shop and couldn’t resist. You like?”
    “Very much so, too bad it won’t be on for long.”
    She swayed as he massaged her ass through the black negligee. The interludes on the astral plane had been wonderful, but the reality of being in his arms brought her amplified lust and passion beyond her wildest dreams “I have never been an aggressive person by nature.”
    “Every night we met, you were sweet and tender.” Blazing a trail of seductive kisses along the length of her throat, his voice was gruff between bliss inducing suckles on her skin.
    “So, there’s something you should be aware of.”
    “What is it?” Pulling the strap down her shoulder, he devoured the nape of her neck.
    “I
