It took me a second to understand it was Nathaniel's need I was feeling. If I'd been sure it was a bad guy, I'd have fired blind, but I wasn't sure. Some part of her that she couldn't even name knew something was wrong. Contentment like a great warm ocean that filled him, floated him, held him, rocked him.
I felt his skin under my teeth, felt the meat of him in my mouth, and underneath that was that frantic beating pulse. He dug his fingers through my curls and pulled my head sharply to one side, exposing a long line of my neck. He drew his breath in with a shaking gasp, and when I rolled my eyes up to see his face, the look in his eyes was one of drowning, as if I already touched what I could taste. I can do that, he said, and he had that look, that look that said he knew I wanted him, and that I wouldn't say no.
