I Only Have Fangs for You(106)

“You’re trembling,” she finally managed to say between frantic kisses.

“Mina Weiss, you are going to be the death of me.”

A broken cry escaped her and she kissed him, her hands frantic on his face, his shoulders, his arms

“How did you find me?” she asked once they parted.

“I could hear you and see you. I just knew where to come.”

Mina stared him. “How?”

“Soulmates,” Rhys and Christian said in unison.

Sebastian and Mina looked at them, then Sebastian gave them a warning glance.

“Can I have a moment alone with her?” he asked them.

“We risk our immortality getting him the girl, and this is the thanks we get,” Christian muttered.

“Typical,” Rhys agreed. But they gave Mina a smile, then left the room.

“Mina,” Sebastian said as soon as they were gone, but she interrupted.

“Your shoulder.” She touched the spot where the chair leg had hit him. There was a tear in his shirt and a small amount of blood. “Did I really hurt you?”

He smiled at that. “No more than usual. Now, shhh. And listen.” He caught her face in his hands. “I’m so sorry I didn’t trust what you were telling me. That I believed the worst.”

Mina shook her head. “That’s okay.”

“No, it’s not,” he told her, gently brushing her hair back from her cheek. “I wasn’t kidding, you’ve been scaring me to death, woman.”

Mina gave him a disbelieving look. “Me?”

“Yeah, you. You’ve shaken up my whole existence since the moment we met. And I haven’t had a clue how to handle that. I’ve always considered myself the wild Young brother, the one who loves being a vampire. The playboy.”

“Well, that’s all true.”

“Yes, but I had let myself use that identity as a way to always be in control. A way to keep myself—safe. I always imagined love would feel out of control.”

Mina gave him a hesitant look. “It does.”

“I know,” he told her.

She stared at him as if she didn’t know what to make of his response.

“Mina, I’ve known since the first time we made love—hell, probably since before that—that you are my soulmate. I tried to ignore it. Deny it. But it was the truth. And tonight, I really thought I’d lost you. And that was the most out of control I’ve ever felt. Far scarier than anything I was feeling before. Then I saw that thing attacking you, and I was terrified I’d never get the chance to tell you.”

“Tell me what?” she asked in that breathy way he loved.

“Mina, I am hopelessly, head-over-heels in love with you. And I want to spend eternity driving you crazy with my narcissistic, egocentric, and depraved ways.”

She laughed, throwing her arms around his neck. She kissed him.

“That sounds wonderful to me.” She grinned at him and they kissed again.

“God, I love you,” he said shaking his head, unable to believe the intensity of what he was feeling.

“I love you, too,” she told him, then her smiled widened.

“What?” he asked, tucking her hair back from her face.

“I can feel your emotions. They aren’t blocked.”

He laughed. “No, somehow I don’t think anything will be blocked from you again.” Another loss of control, and he realized that idea didn’t scare him in the least.

She grinned even wider.

He smiled back, then he scooped her up against his chest and strode to the door.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“I’m taking you out for a bite.” He shot a glance to her pale neck. “That is, if the offering is still on?”

She laughed again, eyeing his neck, too. “Absolutely, because I’m starving.”
