The blood tasted strange on his tongue, but Riley didn't mind. It was an instinctive, animalistic part of his nature, a social obligation, to clean Tao's skin. The vampire's hands felt good on his neck, that was where he kept all of his tension. The tip of his tongue flicked over one of Tao's nipples. "Relax." Riley murmured, "You got to taste what you wanted, now let me." He slid his hands down Tao's sides and licked his skin until it was completely clean of the dried blood.
