“I’m not saying you’re in love but you’re in something. Your flames are calling to each other.”

“Or maybe it’s just my blood calling to him. After that night at the club, he refused to feed from anyone else,” I confessed.

“Oh he’s got it bad, cousin.”

“Or maybe he’s just lying to me.”

“Do you think he is?”

I sighed, shaking my head. “No, I believe him, but we’re not fated, so that shouldn’t be the case.”

“It sounds like a blood call and that can be more intense than being fated. When he feeds from you, how do you feel?”

I smirked. “Are you really asking me to kiss and tell?”

“Hell no. I’m not trying to be all up in your business like that. I’m talking about how you feel. The biggest concern with vampires and witches being together is the possibility of them draining your magic. We’re connected to the earth with magical currents. They’re spiritual voids, so they siphon it.”

“He’s hybrid.”

I was so caught up with Kyron that I hadn’t considered the dangers of being with him.

“He’s still a vampire, hoe, which means he could potentially taint your magic or drain it from you. That’s part of their addiction. They get a high from absorbing raw magic. The power they feel becomes obsessive, and since they’re predators by nature…”

The obsession leads to death. She paused but I finished the thought in my head.

“I don’t think that’s the case with us. When we’re having sex, we’re on some type of loop. He feels what I feel and it’s the same with me. Even if he was absorbing my magic, I would get it right back, but I don’t think he is. And if he is, what he’s taking isn’t draining me. My magic grows. I can’t really explain it but I’m different and it’s him.”

She arched a brow. “You sure you’re not fated.”

I grinned. “I rejected Kyron, and according to him, he didn’t feel a damn thing. So I don’t think so, and thanks to you, the first time we had sex I passed out.”

This time she was the one who almost choked. “Bitch, what?”

“I thought you didn’t want me to kiss and tell.”

“For this, you damn sure better. What the hell?”

“It’s the loop thing. His pleasure comes to me, combines with mine, and goes back to him. It’s a back and forth thing that keeps building. Which I wasn’t prepared for. After my last orgasm, my body was so overstimulated that I passed out.”

“Shit.”

“Right.”

“But how is that my fault?”

“You warned him about fire with fire and he wanted to test the theory. You told him not to piss me off, so he figured sex was the next best thing to see if we lost control.”

“Well it worked and you enjoyed it, so you should be thanking me.” She flashed a smile.

Enjoyed it, was obsessed with it and him. Thank you cousin!

“You can name your first daughter after me as payment,” she added.

I looked at her like she was crazy because her name was unique and rare for a reason. No one wanted it. She sucked her teeth and shot me a bird.

“My name is cute.”

“Which is why I’m going to graciously allow you to keep it all to yourself.”
