Away from me.

They all knew what I was capable of.

How many bodies I’d eaten the last time I’d been freed.

I didn’t dare move. Even though every muscle tensed with the urge to spit out the gag. Shake my head and scream to the heavens. Rake the earth with my horns.

Feast. Ravage. And feast again.

“I will stop you,” she repeated softly.

Her fingers came up to my face. Both hands, gently prying at the metal embedded into my flesh. Peeling it free, ripping my skin in places. Not that I felt a single thing other than the soft brushes of her skin on mine.

She pulled on the plate and my mouth opened. My entire body heaved. Spitting out the foreign metal that had been a part of me for so long. I worked my aching jaws and licked my shredded lips, tasting my blood.

But it wasn’t my blood I wanted.

Blood dripped from her bottom lip and roses bloomed in the air around her. A sound came out of me that horrified me. Shook me.

Hunger.

Like nothing I had ever felt before.

“I’m Shara Isador, last daughter of She Who Is and Was and Always Will Be.” Her voice rolled with thunder, rumbling through my bones. “By my blood, I compel you, Vore Kijin Isador. By my love, I bind you. No one gets maimed today. I’m queen enough to hold your bond. I’m queen enough to stop you from harming anyone, especially myself.”

Then she lifted her arm up, offering me the delicate skin of her inner elbow. The lower part of her biceps.

“You may take a bite of me.”

SHARA

I wasn’t afraid. How could I be?

I faced Leviathan in his prison and drained him to the point of death. I stood in a storm of locusts and glared down the queen of Rome. I bargained with formidable goddesses to protect my loves.

While bound to the Mother’s table, all the blood had drained out of my body and I couldn’t even speak. While the Dauphine tried to hack out my throat.

It was no big deal to stand here and allow a Blood to taste me.

My Blood. My king.

Offering Vore a single bite was a minor risk I was more than willing to take.

His teeth were jagged white shards, slicing into me effortlessly. So sharp I barely even felt the pain of it. He didn’t put his hands on me, for fear the heat of my skin would push him over the edge.

The taste of my blood exploded on his tongue. The texture of my skin on his lips, his tongue, exquisite. The scent of my flesh. The feel of my skin and muscle in his mouth, his tongue stroking the meat of my arm. Savoring. Tasting.

Eating.

His teeth snapped fully closed, and he swallowed.

My awareness slipped down his throat with the bite of my flesh. I was used to feeling my blood flowing into my Blood when they fed, but this was even more intense. The single bite of my arm slipped through a secret chamber in his stomach, separated from the rest of his digestive system.

He would never dissolve that bite. I would linger inside of him as long as he lived.

Goddess allow it to be a very long time, since he’s mine now.
