Blood Contract(Wolf Creek Pack 8)(22)

Dominic sighed. If he didn’t get Sully and Danny to find a common ground to at least be cordial to one another, his household was going to be one hostile environment. And as much as he cared Sully, the man needed to give Danny a chance. The question was, how did he get someone that detested humans to like one?

Chapter 6


Danny looked down at the black silk pajamas he had put on.

Although it wouldn’t have been something he would have purposefully bought, it wasn’t bad—a little strange to be wearing during the day, but he wasn’t about to put on one of Dominic’s expensive suits.

He didn’t do suits.

His stomach rumbled, reminding him that he hadn’t eaten in awhile—not since he had been at the university, as a matter of fact.

Danny was starving. Donating blood was draining. Dominic was right. He would have to keep up his strength if he was going keep his end of the bargain, a bargain he hadn’t even been fully informed of.

Danny really didn’t have an issue with donating blood. He’d done it before to earn a little money, although it had been a human facility.

He’d never donated to a vampire before. It just would have been nice if his father had told him the truth. He mentally rolled his eyes. Like that would ever happen.

Danny tossed the towel in the hamper and padded out of the bathroom as he pushed the contract from his mind. “It smells good in here.” He gulped when Dominic’s eyes instantly settled on him. That was eerie. Dominic’s gaze was intense.

Dominic’s eyes followed Danny’s progress until he was standing by the bed. The vampire smiled as he nodded toward the window.

“Sully brought you some breakfast. He also provided vitamins and orange juice. Go, enjoy it.”

Danny was tempted to crawl back into the bed with Dominic. He didn’t want to admit to the man that lying next to him was comforting

and very arousing. Danny averted his eyes before Dominic could see his heated skin and walked over to a serving cart. He took a seat then grabbed one of the covered plates.

“Vitamins,” Dominic reminded him.

Danny scooped up the bottle and set it by his plate. “I’ve never been one to take vitamins before.” He could feel the blush creeping across his cheeks whether he wanted it to or not. “I guess I should, huh?”

Dominic chuckled. Danny knew the man saw his pinked cheeks.

“Yes, Danny, you should. The supplements will help.”

Danny removed the dome on the plate and nearly fell over. When was the last time he had a full-course breakfast like this? It had been so long that Danny had to think hard about it. He set the lid aside, not wasting time on the thought as he picked up the fork and dug in. His eyes rolled as the fluffy yellow eggs touched his tongue. They were sooo good.

“Did Sully cook this?” he asked as he scooped another forkful into his mouth.

“The kitchen staff did. I’m not even sure Sully knows where the kitchen is.” Dominic chuckled. “Does it taste good?”

“God, yes.” Danny grabbed a homemade biscuit and bit into it, a moan leaving his lips. His eyes shot over to Dominic when he heard a low growl. Maybe he shouldn’t be making these noises while he ate.

They did sound a little too racy.

“I take it the breakfast meets your expectations,” Dominic said as he watched Danny eat.

Danny gave a thumb up as he shoved a large piece of bacon in his mouth. It was rare he was able to enjoy the meat. His father hated bacon, refusing to let anyone in the house cook it. It was a shame, considering it was one of his favorite breakfast foods.

He finished off his food quicker than he would have liked, setting his fork down on the empty plate. He grabbed the vitamins, popping

them in his mouth, and then swallowed them down with a full glass of orange juice.

“Do they have to be the size of horse pills?” Danny asked as he wiped the juice from his mouth with a napkin and stood up. He quickly stacked his used plates back on the serving cart then looked over at Dominic.

“I’m not sure since I’ve never had to take one,” Dominic said with a little tease in his voice. “Vampires don’t get human diseases.”

Danny looked around the room, unsure of what he should do now that he had eaten. He felt funny just standing there, so he shoved his hands into his pockets and rocked back on the heels of his feet as he glanced around the room.

“Come,” Dominic said as he held a hand out for Danny.

Danny crossed the room, crawling onto the bed and sitting next to the vampire, laying his hand in Dominic’s. “So, tell me about all of this.” He waved his other hand around to encompass the room.
