As Sullivan's fangs pierced Maxine's skin, a jolt of pain mixed with an electrifying rush coursed through her.
It was a sensation she had never imagined, a blend of pleasure and peril that left her gasping for breath.
But the pain...it was greater than she expected especially when she was not expecting it.
Maxine wasn't prepared for the intensity of it all. Her body reacted instinctively, and she pulled away from Sullivan, breaking their intimate connection.
Her hand flew to her neck, which throbbed where his fangs had grazed her. She stared at Sullivan with wide, shocked eyes. "What...what are you doing?! What did you just do?" Maxine's cry was higher than she expected.
Pain, shock, fright and all burdened her.
She had thought she was going to enjoy this—the kiss but she was not expecting him to take advantage of her in this way.
He was a vampire and was sucking her blood.
