After saying goodnight to Deklan, Raul walked back through the brightly lit lobby and down the hall to the exit. His driver pulled up as soon as he stepped outside, the Cullinan’s glossy paint job gleaming in the parking lot lights. Once Raul settled in the backseat, he looked at his watch. Wednesday. Two thirty a.m. He and Ji-Su kept their standing feeding appointment and every week, the anticipation for it filled him with excitement. Tonight was no different. He couldn’t wait to sink his fangs into his blood pet’s throat.
“Where to next, Mr. Raul?” his driver asked.
“It’s time to go home.”
Chapter 33
Sam dropped Raul off in front of the ranch house at two fifty-five. Raul took the porch steps two at a time to where Gloria held the door open for him.
“Welcome home,” Gloria said with a smile. “Everything is ready for you upstairs.”
Raul nodded, pleased with her efficiency. “Thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
There would be no reason for him or Ji-Su to leave their room for the rest of the night and of course, they’d be asleep during the day. Eager to get to his blood pet, he jogged up the stairs, quickly striding down the hall to his bedroom. When he opened the door, his eyes went to the bed and he immediately stopped short.
Ji-Su lay in bed on top of the covers, wearing nothing but one of Raul’s plaid shirts.
Raul had to draw in a slow, steadying breath. Ji-Su laying there in his bed waiting for him was the best sight he’d ever seen. His chest warmed with happiness and he couldn’t help but smile.
“Hello.”
“Hi.”
Raul closed the door behind him. The room was softly lit by the nightstand lamps and the meal the staff had prepared for them was on a rolling cart next to the bed. The cart held two glasses and a metal pitcher of ice-cold water, condensation beading on the outside. There was also a bowl of fruit and aplatter of sandwiches under glass covers. The setup was perfect for their needs after the feeding. Raul began to undress.
“Are you hungry?” Ji-Su asked.
“Yeah, but not for that food.”
Ji-Su laughed, clearly not surprised at his answer. Raul paused undoing his belt to enjoy the sound. Months after he’d first heard it, he still loved Ji-Su’s bright, happy laugh. He took off the rest of his clothes and boots while Ji-Su’s dark eyes watched his every move.
Once he was naked, Raul sat on the bed and pulled Ji-Su into his lap. Ji-Su got comfortable, cuddling in close. Raul dropped a kiss on the top of his head. Coming home to this felt like a prize he’d earned at the end of a long night.
“I like you in my shirt,” Raul said as he played with the sleeves draping to Ji-Su’s fingertips.
“Do you?”
“Mmm-hmmm. You look very cute in it.” Raul nuzzled into Ji-Su’s neck. “And you smell delicious.” He unbuttoned the shirt enough to push it off one shoulder. His eyes fell to Ji-Su’s throat and the veins there. He traced a fingertip over one, feeling the flow of blood under his skin.
“Ready, sweetheart?”
“Yes,” Ji-Su whispered as he tilted his head back to expose his throat.
Raul was humbled by the way Ji-Su was so giving when it was time to share his blood. Yes, they had a contract. But his beautiful pet was open and honest with how eager he was for his bite. Raul’s fangs sharpened as he lowered his head. He kissed along the silky, warm column of Ji-Su’s throat, heading for that perfect spot right above the curve of his shoulder. He set his fangs there and bit, the sharp points puncturing Ji-Su’s skin.
Raul’s eyes fell shut as the sweetness of Ji-Su’s blood rushed into his mouth and his cock instantly stiffened. He would neverget enough of Ji-Su’s taste. Determined to ensure that Ji-Su enjoyed the feeding, he released a burst of his pleasure venom into the bite. When it hit Ji-Su’s system he moaned.
“Mmmm... Raul.”
Raul’s cock twitched. He loved when Ji-Su moaned his name like that. He kept one hand curled around Ji-Su’s back to hold him steady as he drank. He placed the other on Ji-Su’s thigh and began to caress him with soft strokes meant to push his arousal even higher. He slipped that hand beneath the shirt and between Ji-Su’s thighs, squeezing them and brushing his thumb across the base of his cock with light, teasing touches.
“St-stop teasing me,” Ji-Su shakily whispered.
In answer, Raul grasped Ji-Su’s cock. Then he released another shot of pleasure venom. Ji-Su’s cock pulsed in his hand, letting him know the exact moment it took effect. A shudder swept through Ji-Su from head to toe and a second later, Raul’s fingers were wet from the pre-cum leaking from the head of Ji-Su’s cock. Ji-Su’s arousal heightened the taste of his blood and Raul groaned as he pulled more of it into his mouth.
When it felt as if every single one of his cells had been refreshed, Raul stopped drinking and carefully withdrew his fangs. He licked the puncture wounds closed, savoring the final taste of Ji-Su’s blood on his tongue as he did so. Then, his head logy and his body buzzing with the post feeding haze, he held his blood pet close until it passed.
“I’m all done, sweet thing,” he whispered as he looked down at Ji-Su. His lover’s dark eyes were heavy lidded and his cheeks were as pink as rose petals. He was so damn beautiful.
