“Tell me what?”

Chapter 5


Dominic was intrigued by his new blood donor. He’d drank enough of Danny’s blood to have his sense of smell return to some extent, and what he smelled make his cock threaten to harden. Danny smelled like sex and man and deep, rich blood. He smelled like heaven.

That Danny seemed to have enough courage, or lack of common sense, to stand up to Sully was an astonishing fact. Sully was one of the fiercest warriors Dominic knew. Not many were brave enough to stand up to him. Dominic even hesitated to do so on occasion.

This wasn’t one of them.

“Tell him, Sully,” Dominic demanded, going back to speaking silently. He didn’t want to waste the strength he had gained from drinking from Danny. That might mean giving up the ability to smell again, and Dominic couldn’t have that, not now that he had scented Danny. He’d bathe in Danny’s scent if he could figure out how to do it.

Sully let out a deep sigh then walked across the room to grab a chair. He carried it back to the side of the bed and sat down. “You might as well sit down for this,” he said as he gestured to the bed.

“It’s not a short explanation.”

Dominic was thrilled when Danny walked right over and climbed up onto the bed next to him like he’d done it a thousand times before.

There was something peaceful about having Danny beside him.

Dominic suddenly remembered having the same feeling the night before, and his resolve to talk to Sully about it, but as Sully began to speak, he realized that conversation would have to wait for another

time. It was more important that Sully explain everything to Danny so that Dominic wouldn’t lose him.

“You are a contracted blood donor, Danny. That means for the length of your contract, you belong to Dominic. As an exclusive blood donor, there are rules that you must follow. Failure to do so will bring shame upon Dominic.”

A frown covered Danny’s face. “You guys are really into this whole etiquette thing, aren’t you?”

“We have to be, Danny,” Sully replied. “Vampires are always at the edge of violence. We’ve seen what can happen when we lose control. And believe me, it’s not pretty. In order for us to maintain control, we have rules that we must follow. Those rules include how blood donors are dealt with.”

“Go on.”

“Get the box,” Dominic said silently.

Sully sighed again, a clear indication that he wasn’t happy, but he stood up and walked across the room to an ornate wooden armoire against the far wall. He opened it up and withdrew a small silver box that had been placed there years ago. Sully closed the door then carried the box back over to the bed, setting it down beside Dominic.

“I need to sit up,” Dominic told Sully. He hated to have to ask for assistance, but he knew if he didn’t he would wear himself out. He was already starting to feel weak again. He knew he needed more blood, but he wanted this thing with Danny over with before he took more. Danny needed to know everything.

Once he was sitting up against the pillows, Dominic reached for the box. He quickly noticed that his hands were trembling. He clenched them into a tight fist then opened them back up, frowning when the trembling didn’t stop.

“Here, let me,” Danny said as he reached for the box. He picked it up and set it on Dominic’s lap.

Dominic sent Danny a smile of thanks. He was surprised when his feelings of helplessness didn’t surface when Danny helped him. They

raged around him when he had to ask anyone else. That was just another thing he would have to figure out later on. For now, he tucked that bit of information away and reached over to open the box.

He cocked an eyebrow when Danny whistled low under his breath. “Do you like it?” He glanced at Sully then nodded his head toward Danny, indicating that he wanted Sully to pass on his words to the man beside him.

Sully snorted as he looked across at Danny. “He wants to know if you like it.”

“Me?”

“Yes, you,” Sully grumbled. “It’s yours.”

Danny’s mouth dropped open. Dominic chuckled and reached over, placing one finger under Danny’s chin, then closing his mouth.

Danny scooted back, his face flushing red. Dominic thought it was an adorable look for the man.

Dominic reached into the silver box and lifted out the gem-encrusted black leather collar. He held it out to Danny. “Sully is right.

It is yours.” He glanced over at Sully. “Tell him.”

“Dominic says it’s yours,” Sully said.

“It’s beautiful,” Danny whispered.
