Page 36 of Bitten By Desire

“Maybe.” I smiled up at him as he shook his head, pretending to be disappointed. “What are you going to do about it?” I wiggled against him.

“I’ll show you.” Julian zipped off of me and was back so quickly I’d barely lifted my head. He dumped the contents of his hands on the bed and dropped his pants to the floor, kicking them off like an expert. His body won my attention so I barely noticed as he lifted one of his ties and slipped it between my teeth.

I raised my eyebrows in question as he tied the makeshift gag tight.

“Too much company on the other side of the door, and I plan to make you scream.”

Before I could react, he was straddling me again and tying my wrists to the wrought iron bed frame with a belt. “This is so you can’t cause so much mischief.”

I made a muffled hmmph sound through the tie in my mouth as Julian ripped open the shirt he’d given me, sending buttons pinging across the room. He stood up to appreciate his work, and I lifted a foot to stroke his cock. He caught it in one hand and tilted his head. “You want me to tie these down too?”

Part of me did. But instead, he lifted my ankle and ran his mouth down my calf to my thigh, teasing with tongue and teeth as he approached my center. But he paused before touching the part of me that had begun aching for attention and lifted his face to capture my gaze.

“If you need to stop, tell me through our bond. There won’t be a moment we aren’t touching.”

Bite me, Vampire.

His fangs elongated before my eyes, and when he ducked his head to my thigh, he didn’t hesitate to sink into my flesh. The sensitive spot warmed with pleasure immediately, and the rush swept over the rest of me, tugging me into an ocean of ecstasy.

His hands explored the valleys and crests of my body as he lapped torturously slowly at the blood flowing from my vein. I arched my hips as he drew his palm down my stomach and finally hit the place screaming for attention. And as he’d done before, his expert fingers moved at super speed, emulating a personal vibrator.

It didn’t take long for me to spill over the edge, but Julian didn’t let up, drawing out my orgasm until my entire body felt as if it was made of gelatin.

He tenderly licked the wound closed and climbed over me to tug the tie out and replace it with his mouth. It took me a moment to realize what I was tasting as he kissed me so passionately. He’d bitten himself, and my mouth was coated in his blood. The flavor and sensation was so erotic that I didn’t think before I clamped down and sucked greedily on his tongue, drawing as much into me as possible.

His raw, unbridled groan was like fire lighting my need ablaze, and I struggled against my bonds, desperate to pull him closer.

Are you sure? He asked in my mind.

In answer, I wrapped my legs around his hips and tugged him toward me.

When his tip teased my entrance, I let go of his tongue and moaned into his mouth. He swallowed my cries as he inched inside of me, filling me, stretching me until he was buried deep in my pulsing core.

He was all I could feel as we moved together in a practiced but frenzied dance, working our way toward oblivion. Julian must have reached up and loosened the belt because he stood, still inside of me, and backed me into the wall with such passion the contents of the nightstand shook. Carnal need wound inside of me so tightly it was almost painful as Julian managed to find the perfect spot over and over with increasing speed and pressure. My nails dug into his shoulders as my second orgasm broke through me, sending me spiraling. But Julian stayed locked to my mouth to prevent the sounds from escaping too far and bucked inside of me, pulsing his own release while pinning me to the wall in a waterfall of rapture.

After a time, Julian let me go, setting me gently on the ground where he bent to brush his swollen lips across mine.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

I grinned. “Really good. I’m going to go take a shower. Would you please ask Zoe for a restore charm while I get dressed?”

“Are you sure you wouldn’t like company?” His voice draped me in velvet, and I shivered in response.

“Soon. But right now, we have work to do.” I stood on tiptoe to dot a kiss on his cheek, now warm again.

“As you wish,” he said, watching me walk to the bathroom. “But when this is over, I’m not letting you out of this room for a week.”

Chapter 12

Making the Puzzle Pieces Fit

No one questioned my quick recovery, though I was pretty sure there was no need since Julian came out flushed and we both wore fresh clothing. My heart clenched when I realized the special belt Daphne had gifted me had disintegrated with the rest of my clothing when I was put on the machine. Along with it had gone everything I’d had hidden inside it’s magical compartment. Which meant I no longer had access to the vials I’d taken from MorningStar, the cure for vampirism, or the cure for GodKiller.

I had one more syringe of each, but they were in my lab inside of SHADE’s base. And I doubted I’d be able to get back there to retrieve them. Thankfully, they appeared innocuous enough from the outside. They’d simply been labeled as sensitive samples in the temperature-controlled cabinet on a counter.

I’d chosen to wear a pair of soft grey leggings, an oversized burgundy sweater, and finished the look with the magic boots with spike heels that remained as comfortable as slippers, another gift from Daphne.

Every time I thought of her, my stomach twisted with worry. I tried to shove the reaction away, reminding myself that I was doing what I could to help. Even my tryst with Julian had served the purpose of reviving both of us.
