Page 9 of The Virgin and the Vampire

Then he has the bright idea to rub my clit again and suddenly the head of his cock sinks in past the tight muscles of my entrance. “There’s my good girl,” he practically growls as he pushes in another inch. I feel impossibly full, split in two already, and I know he’s not completely inside me yet.

My clit begins to pound in time with my heartbeat and Kade’s. With a grunt of satisfaction, he surges forward and buries himself to the hilt. I shift my hips, trying to make more room somehow, and he groans. “You are so freaking tight, sweetness. I may not be able to last,” he confesses.

My tentative smile is part pain and part amazement that I have any power over him whatsoever. He pulls out and suddenly my body wants him back, right where he was. And then he is, but it’s all pleasure now, the pain of his breaching me fading to the background. Kade guides my knees up and behind him. The angle changes things and suddenly the energy is building fast in my core. I shift my head restlessly, but I have no purchase to release the tension except to grab onto Kade’s shoulder. So I do.

The first spasms erupt out of nowhere. I can feel myself clenching down on his cock, but I’m powerless to stop it. Kade doesn’t seem to mind, just pounding into me even harder in response. He erupts inside of me with a long, low cry that’s quickly cut off when he sinks his teeth into my neck. The pleasure is so exquisite my mouth opens in a silent cry. The pulse of my blood and his cum in my pussy are perfectly synchronized. It must be the heartbeat of the universe as loud as it sounds.

In an instant, it’s over. Kade pulls his head back, his eyes dazed with pleasure, and then he slowly withdraws his cock.

“Gianna? You okay, baby?”

I nod, still incapable of words.

“Let me get you cleaned up and then you should rest.” His voice comes from a distance and I close my eyes, replete with all the new sensations and the love I felt from him. He hasn’t said those words, but I realize I don’t need them. He gave them to me with his body.

Gianna sleeps until early evening. I nearly called Etienne three times to have the vamp doctor come, but she had no obvious symptoms beyond that, so I waited. The full sealing of the thrall relationship can go many ways, although it rarely results in any true harm. But I still sit anxiously at her side, phone at the ready waiting for her to wake.

Her eyes blink open in confusion and then a slow smile spreads when she sees me sitting next to her. “What’s the matter?” she asks, her voice soft with sleep.

“Nothing, baby. Just worried about you and any changes you might experience.”

“Oh, that.” She waves a dismissive hand and sits up. “There’s absolutely no research to prove that those effects didn’t previously exist and were simply unexplored.”

I stare at her in astonishment. “Umm,” I comment cautiously, not wanting to panic her unduly. Only time will tell if she acquires any new talents or awarenesses and they can take months to develop fully. Equally, she may stay exactly as she is today, which I would vastly prefer. Having a wife that can hear you a mile away would take some getting used to.

“Are you hungry? Should I bring you something?”

She waves me away. “I’ll get up. I need to stretch my legs, anyway. Are you going to give me the full tour of your house anytime soon?”

“Our house, Gianna,” I correct her as I watch in astonishment as she glides gracefully and unconsciously towards the bathroom clad only in her diamonds. She’s glorious, but I still hold her robe for her when she returns.

Her lips quirk. “I thought nobody could touch me if I’m wearing all your jewelry,” she teases.

“There’s no point in tempting them, sweetness.”

We head down to the kitchen, where Gianna places one slice of cold pizza on a plate, and I add two more. “You have to eat to feed me, baby. I only took a sip tonight, but if you were serious about being my sole source of blood, you need to eat more.”

Her eyes round, but she quickly pops the plate in the microwave to heat.

I watch her eat one slice with satisfaction, then her gaze turns to me. “You realize I have classes and work on Monday, right?”

Nodding. I hand her another slice of pizza. “I’ll place an order for a less ostentatious set on Monday. Sol is old and no longer works on the weekends. It should take about two weeks, I think.”I shrug, not in a rush to have her take off the diamonds even if I know they look out of place in today’s more conservative society.

“Yes, but what am I going to tell people in the meantime?” she asks dryly.

“Tell them you’re working on your Mardi Gras costume or, better yet, wear a concealing jumpsuit.”

She rolls her eyes. “Like that wouldn’t invite awkward questions. I don’t see you having any fashion dilemmas in this.”

I leer at her. “Fangs go with everything.”

She giggles and sets the pizza aside to come climb in my lap. “I liked your bite, Kade.” She snuggles into my chest, wrapping her slim arms around my waist.

“I’m glad,” I murmur into her curls and hold her close.

Despite my earlier assurances to Kade, I’m beyond curious to see if I’ll develop any supernatural talents. You have to admit, it would be pretty cool. But nothing shows up that day or the next.
