“That’s a good thing, right?”
Kissing the spot where the wolf had bitten her, I said, “Yes, Beastie. It’s a very good thing.” Loren arched as I placed my hand on her lower back and brought her closer, kissing along her neck and jawline, focusing on the outline of her jugular. Saints. She’d fed me from her wrist earlier, but what I truly wanted was to take my fill from her neck.
Her body trembled in my arms as I raked my teeth along her skin, teasing her with the pointy ends of my fangs, but holding back from puncturing her flesh.
“Nic,” she uttered in a soft breath. “You’re torturing me. I won’t be able to tolerate another tease.”
I tilted her chin up. “That makes two of us. You’re sure you want this?”
“More than anything. But…” Her gaze shuttered and her cheeks blushed.
“What is it, Beastie?”
Seeming timid, she said, “I’ve wanted to be with you so badly, but...” Shying her gaze away, she whispered, “Don’t we need protection?”
A small laugh rumbled through me. Her bashfulness melted my heart, and I loved that she wanted to be safe. “Vampires can’t procreate,” I informed her, knowing what her worries were. “Part of the reason for our selection process. And we can’t contract or transmit human diseases. There are also no known vampire ones.”
Looking up into my eyes, her gaze shimmered with a mix of wonder and desire, a gentle smile tracing across her lips, granting me permission to complete our union. Loren was a conundrum. Pure of heart and adorably shy, yet full of power and dominance all at the same time. I’d been a fool for believing I was strong enough to resist her.
As I ran my fingers down her spine, she pressed her supple breasts against me and purred, tilting her head to the side. I smirked, loving how responsive she was to me. How badly she wanted me to feed from her. But if this was going to be the only moment we shared with one another, I’d make sure I did things right.
“Not yet,” I told her. “I want to taste you other places first.”
Lifting her in my arms, I gently laid her on the ground, letting my lips explore every inch of her feminine curves. I sucked on her nipples until they were hard as diamonds, her needy moans making my dick throb, my erection harder than steel. Reaching down between her legs, I pressed on her mound over the fabric of her pajama bottoms.
She spread her legs wide, welcoming my touch. Fuck. Ever since I’d touched her at the cabin and then at the lake, I’d wanted nothing more than to slide my tongue inside her pussy, to feel her clit swell, to taste her arousal. To claim her like she deserved and show her what it was like to be mated to a vampire.
I added pressure, feeling her wetness soak through.
“Oh, God. Nic…”
“Tell me what you want.”
“Your tongue, baby.”
Rolling her pants off, I sat back on my knees and positioned myself between her legs, allowing my eyes to feast on her gorgeous body. The sight of her like this, opening herself up to me, made testosterone surge through my veins. Her eyes glowing and the tips of her fangs poking right below her top lip made keeping my cock inside my boxers a harrowing effort, but after the chaos of the day’s events, she needed this moment of complete surrender.
Ineeded this.
Bending down, I gently parted her folds open and slid my tongue inside, licking her entire seam. I’d be damned. She tasted better than I’d imagined. Her legs quivered as I found her clitoris and sucked on it, then flicked it with the tip of my tongue, her moans echoing off the cave walls. Reaching for my head, she ran her claws across my scalp, tugging at my hair, urging me to bury my tongue deeper.
She was so close to coming, but I wanted to prolong her pleasure, to make her forget all the grief I’d caused her, if just for this one sacred moment between two mates. I eased, giving her time to build up to that orgasm again. Her little protests fueled my ego, her arousal a pure aphrodisiac. Inserting two fingers, I massaged her inner walls and touched her g-spot, her body quaking as I drove her to the finish line.
Her breaths grew shallow, and her hips lifted off the floor.
That’s it, Beastie. Come for me, baby.
She cried in utter ecstasy as my mouth claimed her release, her legs closing around me as she rode the wave.
“More,” she moaned, her voice breathy yet demanding.
“Patience,” I crooned. “I’m not done with you, yet.” Sliding off my boxers, I lowered my frame over her body, holding myself up with my forearms as I rooted my gaze into hers. Her red eyes were still aglow with need, and my beast growled. I couldn’t get enough of her when she was transformed. As if reading my thoughts, she licked her fangs and I almost lost it. I wanted those teeth buried in my neck.
Teasing her with the tip of my cock, I breathed over her lips, “I want you to drink from me, Loren. To take from me as I push inside you.”
She nodded, wasting no time in reaching for my neck and bringing me down to her mouth as I slowly penetrated her.
The sting of her fangs as they pierced through my flesh ignited the hotwire that ran straight to my cock. She was tight and warm as I moved inside her, and the need to own her ravished my insides, calling for me to feed from her as well. The scent of her skin was a beacon to her jugular, and my gums throbbed with savage thirst.
