Chapter 236
“Unless you want to carry the two of us the entire way, I’m going to need some blood.” I groaned.
The second Ember removed the cuffs, my body slumped forward like a sack of bricks.
My flesh had become a dead weight that refused to cooperate with my exhausted brain. Concrete bit into the palms of my hands as I struggled to stand to my feet. Ember huffed and released her hold on Brandon, letting him crash to the floor as she knelt at my side.
“Agh! Fuck, Ember. Could you have been any rougher?” Brandon groaned, cradling his bloody wrists against his chest.
She side-eyed him and said, “Yes, actually. I could’ve.”
“Well, thanks for being gentle.” Brandon shot back sarcastically.
Ember thrust out her arm, her wrist inches from my face. She stared down at me with a scowl on her face. It deepened when I stared at her through cloudy, disoriented eyes.
“I don’t care if you’re on your death bed, this is a one-time offer. Bite me and take some blood before I change my mind.”
My vision doubled as I reached out and wrapped my hand around her arm, feeling for a soft, fleshy spot to sink my teeth into.
“Don’t have to tell me twice.” I muttered, bringing her arm to my mouth.
A faint hiss slid past her lips as my teeth sliced through the layers of skin covering her muscle, carving a path to the blood- filled veins below. If I wasn’t losing strength with every passing second, I might’ve found it strange that I was biting Ember of all people, drinking her blood like it was the nectar of the gods.
Come to think of it, the flavor was a bit different. Much like her scent, Ember’s blood had a kick of spice to it, like it had been infused with cinnamon, clove, and hints of a crackling bonfire. The warmth of her blood spread throughout my body, increasing in heat until it was almost painful. Just as I felt the lick of actual flames against the inside of my veins, it vanished. In its stead came strength and a weightlessness that made my limbs tingle.
The wounds around my wrists, ankles, and neck began to fade, the skin stitching itself back together with the help of my magic.
“Don’t drink me dry, now. Thirsty bitch
“Ember grunted; her voice laced with pain.
I pulled away and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. Ember sat back on her haunches before losing her balance. Her butt hit the cement floor with a light thud. She blinked a few times in rapid succession, shaking her head as though she were trying to clear away the cobwebs.
Brandon was slumped against the wall, watching the two of us with an expression I recognized all too well.
“That was kind of hot.”
