Take It Like a Vamp (21 page)

“Yes?”

“I think we need to re-do the apartment after all.”

He kissed the top of her head and squeezed her against his side. “Anything you want. I told you.”

“No, I mean like we
have
to.” She shifted so she could face him. She was biting back laughter. “Look at the room, honey.”

Nick lifted his eyes and took in the sight. Holy hell was right. They’d completely destroyed the room. Broken lamps, tables smashed to the ground. The donuts now decorated the wall. Plaster was missing, a wall cracked.

“I don’t remember doing any of that,” he said honestly, more grateful than ever he hadn’t harmed the woman he loved.

She chuckled. “Me neither. But we might want to look into getting padded walls and no sharp edges on the furniture in the bedroom.”

“Good point,” he said. She didn’t seem to mind the violence that surrounded him. This woman was stronger than he could have ever imagined. And she was his. His chest squeezed tight.

“Ya know,” she said wrapping her arms around her neck. “I think we’re going to have to practice with the beast a lot.” She kissed his mouth and then trailed tiny kisses down his neck.

“You do?”

“I think Fang Out Sex is pretty hot. And the beast should come to all our parties for two. In fact, I think my inner beast wants to get it on with yours very soon.”

“How about that.” He smiled. “And I was so worried.”

“You’re just a man, honey. You can’t help it. So how many times a night can the beast come out to play,” she said as she trailed the kisses back his neck.

“You’re insatiable. And I have feeling we’re about to find out.”

She gave him a saucy wink. “Fang me, husband. Fang me hard.”

Nick laughed as he did exactly what his wife ordered.
