“Please. I want to feel your skin against mine.”
He stood and slowly undressed. Achingly slowly. With each new inch of fair skin exposed, my pussy quivered.
Finally he was naked, his gorgeous cock jutting straight out, a drop of fluid glistening at the tip. I wanted so badly to lick it off, to take him to the back of my throat.
But no. Not before he was embedded in my hot pussy.
“Please, Dante. Please come into my body. Come into me. We’ve waited so long for this.”
“Yes, my love.”
He sat down on the bed and then hovered over me, teasing my labia with his hard cock.
“I feel how wet you are for me, Erin. So wet.” He inhaled. “I smell you. I smell how much you want me. I wish you could smell how much I want you.”
I inhaled his salty cinnamon scent. Maybe I couldn’t smell his arousal as I smelled my own, but I knew. In my heart I knew he wanted me as much as I wanted him. In his eyes, I saw it. I saw what I knew he was seeing in my own.
That fire. That passion.
That true love.
He groaned as he thrust inside me.
Such sweet intrusion.
“My God, Erin. I feel your warmth. I feel every ridge inside you, your walls closing around me. You were made for me.”
I hadn’t been able to find the words, but he’d said them perfectly. “Yes. Exactly. I feel it, too.”
He stayed inside me for a moment, and I relished the sweet fullness, as if I’d never been filled before.
And never would be again by anyone else.
Only by this man.
Then he gritted his teeth, pulled out, and thrust back in.
I arched into him, tugging at my bindings, wanting so much to touch his smooth skin.
“I love you, Dante. I love you.”
He thrust back in. “I love you too, Erin. My only love.”
Thrust.
Thrust.
Thrust.
His pubic hair and bone nudged my clit with each thrust, tickling it, making it flutter.
So close.
So close.
Until I erupted, the orgasm taking me with a force I hadn’t yet known.
My whole body vibrated, every cell humming the jazzy tune that drifted to my ears.
“Dante, I’m coming. I’m coming so hard.”
“Yes, love. Come. Come for me.” He thrust once more, filling me. Each contraction of his cock in rhythm with my own pulsing.
“Ah, God!” he cried out, embedding himself into me.
We climaxed together, each of us moaning, our bodies sliding together from the perspiration.
Savor this moment. Savor it.
Again I tugged at my bindings. I lifted my head, trying to reach his lips. Sweat from his brow dripped onto my face, from his chest onto mine.
And then, as the pulsing finally began to subside, he opened his eyes.
They were blazing and full of fire.
“Come, my love, and I will bring you to true completion.”
Epilogue
The Queen
You’re mine, Dante.
Even now, I’m watching you in my mind. Remembering you, the taste of your blood, the intense feeling when you sank your teeth into my flesh.
I own you, and you will obey.
When the time is right, I’ll come for you.
You’re mine, Dante.
Always and for eternity.
I’ve made sure of it.

Acknowledgments
Beginning a new series is always a bit daunting for an author. This time, though, not only did I have to equal the Steel phenomenon, I had to do so in a different romance genre. Venturing into paranormal was an easy decision creatively. I love everything about the paranormal, and I especially love vampires. But would my readers follow me?
To those of you who have followed me, thank you! And to those who are picking up a Helen Hardt book for the first time, thank you as well! Please stick around as exciting things are coming.
As I got to know Dante and Erin, I became confident that readers would love them as much as they loved the Steel Brothers. Perhaps even more. Dante is the ultimate dark and tortured hero whose love for his heroine is all-consuming and passionate. Erin is feisty, smart, and strong-willed. Exploring the paranormal with two such interesting characters has been a lot of fun, and there’s much more to do!
Writing the emergency room scenes presented a challenge. Massive thanks to Brian Archer, MD, and Tina Jaworski, RN, for helping me with medical procedure and terminology. I’ve taken creative license here and there, so any errors belong to me alone.
Of course my work wouldn’t shine without my amazing editorial team. Thank you to my editor, Celina Summers, my line editor, Scott Saunders, and my proofreaders, Amy Grishman, Michele Moore, Michele Lehmann, and Rebecca Jacobs. You each added your own special touch to this story, and I’m forever grateful.
Thanks as always to the team at Waterhouse Press—Meredith, Jon, David, Dave, Robyn, Haley, Jennifer, Jeanne, Kurt, Amber, Yvonne, and Jesse. Your support as I leap into a new genre means the world.
To the ladies of my street team, Hardt and Soul—you rock! The love and support you give me lifts me to new heights. Thank you for spreading the word about the Blood Bond Saga and for your wonderful reviews and general good vibes. Special thanks to Amy Denim for your always amazing help.
Thank you to my family and friends and to my two local RWA chapters, Colorado Romance Writers and Heart of Denver Romance Writers.
Most of all, thank you to all my readers. None of this would be possible without each one of you!
