You were busy sweeping the floor, focused on finishing your chores when you felt a familiar presence behind you.

Damian.

Your vampire boyfriend always had a habit of sneaking up on you.

“Hey, love,” his smooth voice purred. “Wanna lay down, cuddle, and play with me?”

You didn’t even look up. “Can’t. I’m on my period.”

For a second, there was silence. Then, you felt his arms snake around your waist, his chest pressing against your back as he inhaled deeply.

“Even better,” he murmured against your ear.

You froze, gripping the broom tighter. “Damian…”

He chuckled, his cool lips grazing your neck. “What? I’m just appreciating the scent of my favorite girl.”

His fingers trailed down your stomach, stopping just above your waistband.

You sighed, trying to push him off. “Can you not be a bloodthirsty creep for five minutes?”

He only smirked, his grip tightening playfully. “Darling, that’s asking too much.”
