“I’m sorry,” I whispered, and tried to get away from his embrace. “I shouldn’t have—”

“Don’t.”

I’m not sure if he meant don’t apologize or don’t pull away from him. He held me closer, kissed the back of my head then my shoulders, as I had done to him earlier. His lips found the bite scars he had left at the crook of my neck and he kissed them, even scraped his teeth against them, sending sparks running through my body. My arms rested over his and I clutched at his wrists.

“Go ahead,” I murmured. “If you want—”

I didn’t need to finish. His mouth rested over the scars again. Almost delicately, his fangs pressed against my skin until they pierced it. The familiar flash of pain was followed by warmth as he drew my blood with slow but strong suction. His chest vibrated with a low rumbling of pleasure.

All too soon, it was over. He lapped at the scars a few times with long swipes of his tongue. Each time, sensations of pain and pleasure sparked through me. Trembling, I turned in his unyielding embrace and pressed my body to his, burying my face into the crook of his neck.

His shaky hand rested over my hair and brushed lightly through the strands as he murmured, “Sweet Virginia” in the same tone of voice he had used every time he had told me goodbye.

I only clang to him a little tighter. “Make love to me,” I asked, almost begged. “If it’s over, if it’s really goodbye, then make love to me one last time when we both know it.”
