Bonus Scene

Icarefully place my sleeping child in her bed. I stand completely still for a moment, making sure Lily is staying asleep before taking a step back. And then another. Finally, I turn around and head out of the back room and into the main area of the RV I share with my wonderful mate.

"Well done," Axel tells me, giving me a giant grin as I slide the divider into place, giving us a tiny bit of privacy from our baby.

"Thanks," I whisper, stepping over to Axel and taking the glass from his hand that he's offering me. I sit down beside him on the couch, leaning my head against his shoulder.

The last few weeks have been chaos. Having a newborn is difficult all by itself but when there's also a brand new case going on and the fact that the cats that Ronny found are so much more than just an average house cat? It's a lot.

I take a sip from the glass, humming happily at what's inside. Axel and I have been trying out different blood combinations and tonight we're having a sweet red wine mixed with our blood. It's really tasty and I already feel some of the weight of life falling away.

We sip our wine in companionable silence, just leaning against each other. Axel's hand slides over my thigh and my stomach flutters happily. I still don't understand why Lady Fate chose him for me, but I'm forever grateful to have such a wonderful mate. Axel makes me a better person, or rather, a better vampire.

Once I drain my glass, I set it to the side and turn fully towards my mate. Axel gives me a soft look and I can't stop myself from pulling him closer and planting my lips against his. Axel lets out a noise of surprise before melting against me.

His tongue sweeps into my mouth and I moan, the taste of blood lingering on our lips, making this kiss especially delicious. My body warms all over, not only from the fresh blood in my system and the wine, but also because of Axel. Feeling him against me, kissing him, smelling him, it's all too much for me. I feel like a teenager and I hope I always get this feeling when I'm kissing my mate. I hope I never take this feeling for granted.

Axel's hands cradle my face before one of them is moving to the back of my head, gripping my hair. Prickles of pain lance through me and I shiver with pleasure. Axel knows exactly how to play me, like a well loved instrument. In a matter of seconds I am at his mercy and there's no place I'd rather be.

We could stay here kissing all night and I would be content. But it seems like Axel has other ideas.

Axel pulls back enough to look into my eyes. "I want to make you feel good," he says, punctuating his sentence by giving me a peck against my lips. "Can I please make you feel good, Jeff?"

My brain goes completely blank for a moment before I find myself nodding.

Axel gives me a wide grin before adjusting himself off the couch and onto the floor between my legs. "Wait. You don't have--"

"Hush. I'm not doing anything I don't want to do. Let me?"

"Okay," I say softly, running my fingers through Axel's hair as he pulls my jeans open. I'm already hard and aching just from our kisses. As he wraps his hand around my erection, a hiss escapes my lips.

Axel smiles up at me, running his fingers over my erection, just taking me in. He's so good at this, so good at bringing me to the very edge without more than a few touches and a look. I'm his, fully.

I watch with wide eyes as Axel licks my erection, dipping his tongue into the slit of my cockhead. I groan before quickly biting my bottom lip, not wanting Lily to hear me and wake up. Fuck, this is going to be difficult. Axel makes me feel so good but I can't be loud. A thrill goes through me at the fact that I have to keep as quiet as possible.

Axel's mouth feels so fucking good. He wraps his lips around me, slowly taking more and more of my cock into his mouth. The warm, wet embrace of his mouth is downright heavenly. If I wasn't already undead I would think I've somehow died and gone to Heaven.

"Fuck, Axel," I whisper under my breath, the hand in Axel's hair tightening. "That feels so good. Your mouth is so perfect."

Axel wraps his hand around the base of my cock, massaging what he can't quite fit into his mouth. I lean my head against the back of the couch, closing my eyes and enjoying the feeling of my mate sucking me off. His other hand reaches beneath me, cupping my balls, toying with them and adding to my pleasure.

Gods, he's so fucking good.

"I'm already close, sweetheart."

Axel's eyes sparkle as he looks up at me. His mouth moves even quicker, taking as much of me into his mouth as he can before pulling back and licking at my head. He's driving me wild with lust and it's taking every ounce of self control I possess not to thrust up into his throat.

When his hand moves even further, a single finger gingerly rubbing over my hole, I'm lost. I just barely keep myself from crying out as pleasure overwhelms me. My entire body goes tight before exploding. I empty into Axel's eager mouth and he's careful to swallow each and every drop of cum I produce.

I twitch as Axel licks at my cock, making sure I'm completely clean before he's gently tucking me back into my jeans. I lean back, breathing deeply and sighing contently as the scents all invade my nose. It smells so good in here, so perfect; a mixture of the two of us.

"Come here," I murmur, tugging Axel up and into my lap, wrapping my arms around his back. "Thank you, baby. That felt so good. You're so good to me."

"Nothing less than you deserve," he says with a giggle, kissing both of my cheeks and then my lips. "I love you so much, Jeff."

"I love you too," I whisper, kissing him back. The feelings inside of me are warm and soft, like the morning sunrise. "Thank you for everything you do and everything you are. You're my other half."

"And you're mine," Axel whispers, smiling fondly down at me. "We should probably get some sleep."

"We will," I say with a grin. "Just a few more minutes of this. I'm not ready to let you go quite yet."

Axel rolls his eyes but allows me to snuggle him just a little tighter.
