Poisoned

Aldric and Azula lay on the ground, still catching their breath, their eyes locked in a knowing, smoldering gaze. There was an undeniable pull between them, a raw, magnetic force that neither could ignore. 

Aldric felt it too, that pull, an irresistible bond that made it difficult to think of anything but her. Azula, biting down on her lower lip, looked just as hungry. Though she had fed earlier, that had been nothing more than a tease—an appetizer. Aldric had jump started her heart, brought her back from the brink, and now, with him so close, the urge to take more was overwhelming.

The mate bond tugged at Aldric, urging him to lean in. His gaze flickered down to her lips, and without hesitation, he closed the distance between them, their mouths colliding in a heated kiss.
