I’m Vicky Eaton, a bondless Kindred. Meaning, I don’t have a Blood Bond mate--the only human you can drink from according to the Kindred law.  I’ve done my best to stick to the rule, until I realized that my new boss just smells too darn delicious for me to resist and fits every criteria to be my mate.  However, I have made a vow long ago to stay bondless for eternity. ** As he spoke, he licked my ear.

I groaned against his touch as he removed my clothing for the third time in under 12 hours. "Whatever you do…” I said breathlessly, “Don’t stop.”  My words hit him hard and his moves intensified. Suddenly, he broke apart and turned his neck to me, revealing his glorious skin.  I froze.  Should I stay true to my past, or do I take a leap of faith and fall into the world of the Blood Bond?
