a human. Biting. Hurting.”
Slowly he shook his head. “From that you think we hurt humans? You have no idea what a bite does. How much pleasure it can give.” His gaze drifted to her neck, and his nostrils flared. “How much sexual pleasure I could give you with a single bite while I make love to you. More pleasure than you’ve experienced in the last two days combined.”
Her breath hitched. Farther South, her womb clenched at the thought of feeling him inside her again. No! She couldn’t allow that! He was a vampire, a vile creature, a monster. Why was he talking about making love? Was he trying to trick her into feeling safe?
“Never!” she vowed. “I’d rather die!”
“Die?”
He suddenly chuckled, making his features instantly much softer, despite the sharp fangs that were protruding from his mouth. Suddenly they didn’t look as scary anymore.
“Before you make a monumental decision like that, I would like you to understand all options. As we both know, the last time you made a decision without knowing the other side, you very quickly changed your mind when I showed you what options you were dismissing so casually.”
She gasped. How dare he remind her of the words she’d hurled at him during their wedding night? She’d told him that she wasn’t interested in sharing his bed because it led only to shame and pain. Of course, he’d convinced her otherwise. But this didn’t mean he could convince her again. Accepting marital congress was different from accepting a vampire as one’s husband.
“Do not even attempt such a thing!” she cried out, her fear turning into outrage. How dare he treat her like this?
“Are you challenging me?”
She noticed amusement in his eyes. Angry that he was clearly not taking her seriously, she raised her chin in defiance. “It is not a challenge. It’s a command! I command you to unhand me and leave.”
He grinned and appeared as sinful as if he were introducing her to a new way of making love. How could this be? How could she still see him as the lover he’d been, when now he was different, when now he was a vampire?
“Ah, but my sweet wife, I’m afraid you still haven’t learned that I don’t take commands from you. They only inflame me even more. And right now I’m in the right mood to bend you over my knees and spank your bottom for your insolent behavior toward me.”
Enraged by his suggestion, she tried to twist from his grip. “How dare you?!” She was no child that needed a spanking.
“Wrong answer, my sweet!”

With one move, Nico flipped his wife onto her stomach and jumped behind her on the bed. Then he grabbed her virginal nightgown and ripped it all the way to the bottom, exposing the creamy skin on her back and ass.
Oriana tried to escape him, but he pinned her down with his knees over her thighs.
“You’ve been bad, disobeying your husband.”
He stroked his hand over her firm cheeks, eliciting an outraged grunt from her.
“Lay one finger on me, and you’ll pay for it!” she threatened.
“One finger?” he asked, his mind already forming an idea.
Painstakingly slowly, he ran his hand over her bottom, then slipped it between her thighs. Oriana tried to squeeze them together to deny him access, but her legs were spread wide enough for him to dip his finger to her female folds. To his delight, she was wet there.
“This finger?” he asked and probed at her slit, slowly thrusting inside her.
She moaned into the pillow. Satisfied at her reaction, Nico withdrew his hand. “Now that we know that your body is still welcoming me, let’s commence your punishment.”
“Why don’t you just kill me now? Do you have to humiliate me too?”
He gently stroked over her beautiful flesh. “Kill you? My love, I have no intention of killing you now or later. Nor humiliate you. All I want is for you to accept me for what I am. Your vampire husband. And we’re not going to leave this room until you do.”
