Page 9 of Rescued By the Vampire Assassin

“It’s not on my list of things to do together either.”

"Don’t let them win," Keri urged through clenched teeth, her body wracked by spasms. "Kiss me. Mate me. Fuck me. I don’t care. Just make it stop.”

“If they’re forcing the mating bond, there’s a reason for it. Somehow, they’re looking to gain power by having us join as soul mates.”

“It must be...” She forced out in between waves of excruciating agony. “Something to do with the drug in my system."

He thought about it for a moment. “If I don’t bite you, don’t drink your blood, we could still foil their plans, but we’d be mated. You would be mine, and I would be yours for eternity.”

"Do it. Take me," Keri moaned, desperation coloring her voice. "Please, Joshua." In that moment, she didn’t care about vampire politics. She just wanted to stop the pain.

"Are you sure you want this? Once we cross this line, there's no going back."

“Fucking you or death? I choose you, Pikachu.”

“What the fuck is going through your mind?” he said.

“I’m delirious with pain and lust. Give me a break.” But he was touching her again, and she could breathe.

As Joshua's hands roamed her body with an expertise that left her trembling in anticipation, Keri couldn't help but wonder if they were making a mistake. Would they really die if they didn’t do this chemical mating?

Joshua seemed to think so. But her body seemed to be on board with everything. And there were worse ways to spend an afternoon.

His eyes flashed with a predatory gleam as he claimed her mouth once again, his tongue delving deep to taste her wanton need. Keri's manacled hands pulled at his hair, urging him closer, while her hips arched against his hardness in silent demand.

"I want you," Keri whispered against his lips, her fingers tangling in the thick, dark strands of his hair as she sought to draw him even closer.

"Fuck it," he muttered, his lips trailing a searing path of fire down the curve of her neck and across her collarbone. "If this is what you want, then I will give it to you."

"Touch me, Joshua," she begged, her voice a shaky whisper. "Make me come."

He unbuttoned her pants and slid them down her legs. She kicked off her shoes and stepped out of them. He wasted no time parting her thighs. "You're so wet," he groaned, his fingers sliding easily through the slick heat of her arousal. "You feel so fucking good. I can barely control myself."

His fangs lengthened as he watched her writhe beneath him when he tickled her clit.

"Then don't," she urged as she fought to maintain her sanity amidst the storm of sensations threatening to overwhelm her. All that mattered was the raw, unbridled passion they shared, forged together by circumstance and ignited by desire.

"All right," he said. “We’ll use this to our advantage. As a mated pair, we'll be powerful enough to escape this hellhole. I’ll make them pay for this."

“We’ll make them pay. Now, fuck me hard.”

That seemed to be all the confirmation Joshua needed, for he wasted no time in driving his cock deep inside her, causing her to cry out in a mixture of shock and ecstasy. There was no gentleness in his touch, only a dark, carnal hunger that threatened to consume them both.

She wrapped her legs around his waist as he pressed her back against the cell wall.

"Let me take care of you," he whispered against her mouth, his voice rough with desire. He began to move within her, each thrust slow and deliberate, building a fire that burned away the agony they'd both been feeling.

Keri's body shuddered as she clung to him, her only anchor in the storm of sensations threatening to sweep her away. Her hands longed to trace the contours of his muscles.

"Faster," she gasped, her body quivering beneath his as she clung to him. "Harder."

He set a punishing rhythm that drove her higher. "Don't stop." She clamped down on his cock hard, loving the sweet friction as her climax approached like a tidal wave of sensation.

His movements became more insistent, driving her closer to the edge of bliss. And then, just as the pleasure threatened to overtake her, an unexpected surge of power ran through them both.

The manacles binding Keri's wrists shattered, freeing her hands to clutch Joshua's broad shoulders. Startled, they paused for a moment, eyes locked in shared awe at the newfound magic flowing between them.

"Is this what they wanted?" Keri managed to ask, her voice trembling with uncertainty as much as passion.
