The bond detonated.
Her pleasure poured into me and mine into her, and for a moment there was no telling them apart. The stretch of her was mine. The fullness. Her inner walls clenched around me to keep me there, and I had that from the inside too, the grip of her own body on mine arriving in me alongside how close I already was to losing the last of

The 200 Year Blood Swap 96. What Everyone Believed
(Maxine)Until a few weeks ago, I did not know Eveline Varco had ever lived.She is my blood, from my own house, wearing my own name a few greats back, and the first I ever heard of her was a dusty portrait behind a false panel in a home I grew up in. A woman wearing my mark, with features a little like mine, and not one living Varco had ever once said her name to me. Somebody had lifted an entire ancestor out of the family like a brick out of a wall and mortared over the gap so cleanly that four generations walked past it and never knew.The only place she survived at all was the official record. I'd dug it out at last, and I half wished I hadn't.Four sentences. That's what they left her. Eveline Varco, of House Varco, formed an unsanctioned attachment to the
The 200 Year Blood Swap 95. Being Honest
(Morrison)"Here is the part I have never said out loud," I told her, later, when the dishes were done and we'd moved to the two chairs by the cold window, and the dark outside was the honest kind with no one in it. "When you sank your teeth into me right after the wedding and drank, and everyone decided you'd tried to poison or bind or ruin me, I was furious, obviously. I'd have been a fool not to be. But underneath the fury there was something I couldn't account for, and it took me a disgraceful amount of time to name it.""Relief," Maxine said.I looked at her. How did I just know that she would get there first?"Relief," I agreed. "You wanted something from me. You wanted it openly, with your whole shameless want on display, and you did not once pretend othe
The 200 Year Blood Swap 94. The Man Without the Title
(Morrison)I cooked, the second night, to redeem the fish. I am not a good cook, but I am a careful one, and careful goes a long way when you have time. Maxine sat on the counter with her heels knocking the cupboard, offering commentary she was in no way qualified to give, and I found I didn't want her anywhere else."You're frowning at that pan like it insulted your mother," she said."The pan is behaving. You're the variable." I moved her knee aside to reach the salt. She let me move it, then set it down in the same spot, because she is who she is. "Hand me that.""Say please.""I outrank you.""Not in this kitchen, Prince. In this kitchen I'm the one who can hear when
The 200 Year Blood Swap 93. Caught
(Maxine)The release, when it finally came, wasn't the sharp collapse I'd been bracing for. It rolled through me, slow and total. A wave of warmth that seemed to begin somewhere far beneath my ribs and spread outward until there was no part of me untouched by it.His name left my mouth. I wasn't aware I'd said it until I heard it. Then something hot slipped from the corner of my eye and disappeared into my hair.Absolutely not.That had not happened. I would deny it under oath.He followed me a moment later. Quietly. No swagger. No clever remark. No victorious grin. He made a rough sound against my shoulder and went still, his face buried against my neck, his breath hot on my skin, the feeling of his release thunderi
The 200 Year Blood Swap 92. Slow
(Maxine)His fingertips followed the line he'd been watching, slow enough that I felt the passage of every one of them. I reached for him then, because I had reached the limit of my patience and because taking control was easier than sitting there beneath that gaze and letting him decide what happened next.He caught my wrist. Not hard. That somehow made it worse. He guided my hand down and pressed my palm flat against the mattress beside my head, his fingers closing over mine.“No.”The word was quiet. My breath snagged anyway.His eyes held mine. “Slow,” he said. “I want to watch you stop managing this.”Something hot and sharp went s
The 200 Year Blood Swap 91. Just Being
(Maxine)Morrison Marwick the Third, prince of Nachtigall and one of the most powerful mages alive, stood at the edge of the water in borrowed swim shorts and informed me that the sea was not going to happen."It's cold enough to stop a heart," he said. "I can see you shivering from here.""I run cold. It's a vampire thing." I was already thigh-deep and lying outrageously; the water was appalling. "Get in, Prince. Live a little, before the universe remembers where we are and sends someone to ruin it.""That is the least reassuring invitation I have ever received."So I splashed him, because I am a grown woman of considerable sophistication, and he stood there dripping and affronted, and then he waded in after me one
