Chapter 63

“Just want to see if you taste better than humans,” Pierre whispered, then leaned in to gently suck the wound.

Antoine felt a flutter in his heart as Pierre drank, allowing Pierre to wrap his arms around his shoulders in a loose embrace. He could feel the deeper connection to his lover and relaxed into it as Pierre tasted him. It only lasted a few seconds, but their hearts felt like one as his pulse beat against Pierre’s mouth. Pierre licked the wound to heal it, then hugged Antoine close.

“You’re right. It’s different,” he said. “It was like I could sense you weren’t into it. Will we ever enjoy it more?”

“When I’m into it, yes,” Antoine replied.

“You tasted like your essence—I felt like I had seen into your heart. But is something wrong?”

Antoine sighed, slowly undressed, then lay down and held out his arms.
