Page 14 of Lucian's Soul

Lucian’s eyes turned black as he stalked her. “Yes, they ate sin. Xore stood in front of your stomach and I told them what to do.” He captured her to him, wrapping her in his embrace. His hands cupped her face and his thumb stroked her cheek. “You’re a miracle in more ways than one. You carry more than one child. You’ve made history. There’s never been demon twins. I have booked us a doctor’s appointment tomorrow before lunch.” His hands slid down her body to rest over her stomach. “You need to eat more,” his eyes trailed over her, “of everything.”

Tessa didn’t like hearing she needed more of everything, and before she could ask what Lucian meant byeverything, Xore came and stood behind her. Lucian rubbed her belly and kissed her lips. When his mouth left hers, he had her panting for breath and her body burning with need. Lucian was lethal to her.

“Tessa, my love, I’m going to do something right now and I need you not to freak out but cooperate. I need to drink. I haven’t drank since you left me. I can’t drink from anyone else and it has to be straight from the vein. I have tried bagged blood but it doesn’t work.”

Tessa felt her eyes widen. Lucian had told her he drank blood but she hadn’t really thought about it. “Are you going to drink from me?”

Lucian shook his head. “I would love to. You taste sweeter than sugar. I can’t drink from you, though. You are too weak right now for me to use. Even when you are better I won’t be able to drink the amount I need with you pregnant. The problem is my fangs won’t come out so I can’t drink, because they want you. I have to trick them.” Lucian picked her up, wrapping her legs around him. “I need you to do something for the babies and yourself.”

Tessa looked up into his dark as night eyes, not liking where this conversation was going. “What?”

“I need you to drink from me. When you’re attached, my fangs will drop and I’ll drink from Xore.”

Tessa shook her head. “No way. I can’t drink your blood.”

He closed his eyes and held her closer. “You already have.” His eyes snapped open as she whacked his chest and tried to get down, but Xore blocked her way.

“Let me go, Lucian.” She thrashed in his arms and kicked to get out of his hold. The safe feeling vanished even though she felt her babies trying to calm her. Betrayal and anger consumed her as she struggled in Lucian’s embrace. How dare he give her blood without her permission? How dare he force her now? She fought with everything she had, furious that she had been lulled into this false security.

“You’re right, she’s a fighter. I see why you call her kitten.” Xore grunted behind her.

Tessa screamed as Lucian’s fingers turn into sharp claws. He sliced at his neck. “I’m sorry, kitten,” he whispered before his other hand forced her mouth down to the gushing red liquid. She kept her mouth shut and wouldn’t drink. Lucian whispered apologies and then she felt his finger force her mouth open and press her to him. The first taste of sweetness had her gagging, but then she got a bigger mouthful. Once the flavor exploded into her mouth, she took deep gulps. “That’s it, Tessa.” Lucian’s moan had her drinking deeper. The more she drank the more she remembered the taste. Lucian had given this to her every time they’d made love for the first week, then he’d stopped. What Lucian said to Xore all those months ago, when she’d come upon them made a little sense now.

“Argh, were blood. Fuck, that shit tastes worse than I ever remembered.” Lucian’s words barely registered.

Tessa couldn’t stop. Lucian tasted so good, better than any chocolate or beverage. Her body was on fire and if she was willing to let go and stop drinking, she’d beg him to fuck her.

She rubbed herself against him and felt his cock through his pants. She moaned against his neck and pulled on the sweet-tasting juice.

All of a sudden, Xore’s presence from behind her was gone and Lucian walked to the bench, her legs still wrapped around him. She felt the shirt he gave her rip. His hands left her body and she heard more ripping. Tessa moved her feet down, his now naked body against her own.

“Fuck, kitten, that feels so good.” His fingers entered her pussy and he groaned, “You’re soaking.”

He lined his cock up and she gripped him tighter, taking a deep pull of his blood as he pushed his way home. The blood was giving her a high she couldn’t stop from flowing through her. Lucian’s cock pumped in and out of her. She basked in his onslaught, her body begging her for more as the heat in her rose higher and higher.

Lucian unhooked her mouth from him and she groaned at the loss of the sweetest drink. He tilted her chin and took her mouth to his own, ravishing her the same way his cock was doing to her pussy. Tessa hung on to him as her body got ready to explode. Letting her mouth go, he arched her back and leaned down to suck on her breasts. She felt his teeth sink in and she screamed in ecstasy as her orgasm shattered through her. The punchers left little rivulets of blood sliding down. Lucian licked them and closed the holes.

His dick pounded into her, still not finished and demanding more from her. She didn’t know if she could give it. Tessa already felt like she was in a state of euphoria. His teeth scraped up and down her neck and shot shards of pleasure straight to her core. Tessa didn’t think she could come again. She was wrong—he slammed into her and drove down, biting her neck. She came apart and Tessa swore she was on cloud nine. Her body went lax, fighting for breath. Lucian moved within her one more time before he roared his own release.

“Damn, I needed that. I’ve missed you, Tessa. Promise me you won’t leave again. I’ll talk to you and tell you anything you want. Just promise me you won’t run. Please, kitten.”

His plea got to her and she felt like she lived in Heaven. “I promise, no more running. But we are going to have a talk about you taking over.”

He sighed. “I’m sorry. You needed to drink and I knew you would do it no other way.”

Tessa couldn’t even reply she was love drunk. Her body felt light as a cloud floating in Heaven. Tessa had no idea how Lucian moved, but he gently picked her up, cradling her in his arms and walked in the direction of the stairs and their room.

“Xore put some food in our room for you.”

Huh, she hadn’t heard Xore say anything when he left, but she hadn’t been focused on him.

“I have a feeling after how much you drank from me you won’t be needing it, though.” Lucian kissed her forehead and then her lips. “As much as I hate the shit, I was lucky I drank shifter blood because you needed to drink. Shifter blood may taste like crap, but it makes you stronger and fills me up quicker.” When he laid her on the bed she could barely keep her eyes open. “You’re blood and sex drunk.”

“Mmm.” In the back of Tessa’s mind, she knew she was going to be pissed at what Lucian had made her do, but right now, she didn’t care as he got into bed and gathered her to him.

“I’m never letting you go again. You’re so special and I’m so lucky. I love you, Tessa.” The last words were faint but she was sure that what she heard as she snuggled in and let sleep claim her.
