Page 38 of Deadly Cravings

Asher captured one of my nipples and rolled his tongue over it, playfully nipping it. I moaned, yanking his hair. He hissed as I arched, forcing him deeper inside me, taking the slight pinch with it.

“I’m going to have you again, Pet.” He wrapped his arms around my midsection and twisted me so my back dropped onto the couch cushion. The movement caused his cock to slip out of my pussy. I felt every single piercing rub against my inside. I winced, shying away from his hold, but he forced my legs open.

I gasped and pressed my hands over myself, my face warming so much it burned.

“But before I fuck you, I need to heal you a bit.”

My eyebrows furrowed, but he shifted so his knees pressed on the ground and his head hovered over my dripping heat. I pushed to my arms to see him inspecting my glinting, shaved pussy. Blood mingled in the liquid coating me and I gasped, but before I could say anything, his head dipped. His warm tongue speared inside my core and I yelped, falling back. Swirling his tongue, he thrust inside me and around me, licking everything up with long lavish laps.

My thighs trembled and kept trying to close, but he kept them in place. Even that hiked my lust. Being held down by a vampire was my nightmare . . . but why did it feel so delicious?

“My Pet,” he groaned and the vibration of his voice shot me into another orgasm. His tongue didn’t relent as he pressed it against my trembling clit.

He climbed up my body and fastened his mouth around my nipple. He suckled me, teeth grazing my breast. I gripped this hair again and arched as his fangs speared the soft flesh. I whimpered as my legs shook. He hummed, taking more and more from me, but I didn’t fucking care—it felt too good.

Panting, I pushed to my elbows and stared down at the blood dripping down my breast, painting my skin. It made meunimaginably hot. Asher lifted his head and steadily stared at me as his tongue lashed across the wounds and the blood stream cut off from his saliva.

I dropped on my back, floating in ecstasy as I tried to put the scattered pieces of my mind back together.

We lay there for a while, his fingers moving across my nipple in gentle circles.

Goose bumps pebbled my flesh and I wiggled my hips. How was it possible I was ready for another round?

A yawn made my eyes water.

“You need to rest.” He chuckled in my ear. “Don’t worry. I’ll please you again.” That really should have sent me running but I wanted this. It would only be for a bit longer. I could enjoy it until then, right?

He pulled his shirt off and carefully pulled it over my head so it fell around me. Lifting me into his arms, he curved me close to his wide chest. He walked upstairs and then a soft bed was under me. Asher pulled the blankets over my shoulders.

“Rest,” he ordered. “You should have told me you were not experienced.” He pressed his soft lips into my neck and grazed along my chin. I arched closer to him, and he took me into his arms. I lulled, following his directive as I was dragged into a restful sleep. A type of sleep I’d never had since I couldn’t turn my brain off. But my body agreed with my mind at this moment and they were on a damn cloud.

The world faded away, and my limbs became weightless.

My eyelids fluttered and Isank. . .

Prying my eyes open, I gasped and found myself surrounded by pitch black—and standing. I blinked down at my feet. Black tile stretched across all edges, seemingly endless.Was I dreaming?

A hiss dragged my attention up and all I could see were the red eyes watching me within the dark space. They practically glowed.

A shiver coasted down my back. I hated the dark.

“Who are you?” I muttered, backing up. Everything seemed to stretch, but my back flattened against a wall, blocking me from escape.

Was it the Pale One? Was he back to take me?I whimpered and stumbled away from the wall but slammed into another surface. It may have seemed like it was never-ending, but it was a cage. I slid to the ground, shaking as I hugged myself while the eyes continued to stare at me. They didn’t blink as they watched me until everything faded from my mind.

I pressedmy lips to Catalina’s cheek and felt her smile. She lowered her head, clearing her throat. Pet was shy. Her reactions didn’t fail to enthrall me. Everything she did pulled me, and I couldn’t stop touching her. It was an addiction I didn’t want to be rid of. Her skin was silky smooth, and I wanted to curl into her body forever, which was a tall order, considering my immortality.

We’d slept well through the morning. It was close to sunset when she shot up like a bullet. I could tell because my limbs felt weighed down, but I’d managed to be aware of my surroundings. Any moment now, the automatic window panels to block out the sun during the day would begin to rise. Her knee dug into my side and I squinted to find her staring at me. The rapid thumps of her heart calmed down. It warmed my dead heart in a way it never had been. Pet was an anxious bundle, and she was usually so good at attempting to mask her fear. She made me feel things I didn’t know how to describe but all I wanted was to wrap her in my arms.

A temporary thing, I was sure. I’d never experienced desire anywhere near this level, but sex was sex. Even good fucking sex. I’d fuck myself out of this odd obsession soon. I’d alreadyallowed her more liberties than I’d ever allowed a human. She’d slept beside me while I was utterly vulnerable.

Today would be a step forward in the search for Ren. She would enter Calliope’s den. I didn’t think the pretty human was prepared, but we had no choice. Coaching her a bit more about how she should behave in the lounge should have been priority last night instead of fucking her, but I hadn’t been able to help it.

My gaze dropped to her bronze neck and my cock tented the silk sheet. She already had me hard and primed for her,den lilla katten.
