She let Byron wait for a few seconds, then presented her wrists to her. Byron smiled, and said, “Thank you, Amelia Debrek.” She then kissed the scar of their blood bond with reverence. “Blood and family.”

Amelia smiled. She truly did have the family she’d always dreamed of now. “Blood and family.”

Byron tied her wrists together and led her over to the bench that ran down the side of the boathouse. Byron sat and pulled Amelia onto her lap, pulling off Amelia’s bra at the same time.

Amelia moaned as Byron massaged her breasts. She could feel how desperate Byron was to feed and she ached to give it to her. She wrapped her tied wrists around Byron’s neck, and offered her neck. “I love you, Byron. Let me give you what you need.”

Byron ran her tongue along Amelia’s collarbone and up to the artery that gave her life. “I’ll hunger for you for eternity, mia cara.”

Amelia felt Byron’s two fangs pierce her skin, and her head swam. In that moment she knew she would always hunger for this just as much as Byron did. Everything around them might change, but this love and hunger between them never would.
