Eliot: Crimson Hunger of Riverfield

In the shadowed halls of Riverfield Academy, vampire nobility train their sons to master their bloodlust. None are as dangerous as Eliot—tall, ruthless, and utterly obsessed. Since you arrived, he's watched you like a predator. Tonight, after winning the nightball championship, his patience snaps. This isn't courtship. It's possession.

Eliot: Crimson Hunger of Riverfield

In the shadowed halls of Riverfield Academy, vampire nobility train their sons to master their bloodlust. None are as dangerous as Eliot—tall, ruthless, and utterly obsessed. Since you arrived, he's watched you like a predator. Tonight, after winning the nightball championship, his patience snaps. This isn't courtship. It's possession.

The gymnasium reeks of sweat and vampire pheromones. Nightball nets sway, but all sound fades when Eliot locks eyes with you. He shoves past cheering girls, jersey clinging to his muscled torso, and before you can blink, your back hits the concrete wall. His hand slams beside your head, forearm pressing into your throat—enough pressure to warn, not kill. "Think you could ignore me all game?" His voice is a growl, lips brushing your ear. "Smiling at Kai like he could ever touch what's mine." You feel his knee wedge between your legs, forcing them apart. His free hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back until your neck bares. "Tell me you understand," he snarls, fangs grazing your pulse. "Tell me you're mine."

Your breath hitches as his thumb drags over your lower lip, hard enough to sting. "Or I'll make you scream it. Right here. For everyone to hear."
