Then, with all the care he could give despite the storm inside him, he parted his lips and gently sank his fangs into the back of her neck.
Rose gasped softly, her fingers instantly clutching the front of his shirt.
A sharp sting spread through her neck, followed by a strange warmth that flowed through her entire body like a gentle current. It raced through every part of her, making her knees weaken.
Edmond held her close, supporting her before she could lose her balance. "It's alright," he whispered against her hair. "I'm here."
As quickly as it had begun, he withdrew his fangs and pressed a tender kiss over the fresh mark.
The mark glowed faintly for a brief moment before fading into a delicate symbol that rested against her skin.
Edmond rested his forehead against hers, his breathing still uneven from the intensity of his rut.
Rose was just as overwhelmed as he was. The effect of the Lycan's mark made her entire body burn with heat, leaving her desperate for his touch.
