“No!” Maddy snapped straight away. “She needs to be with you.”
“She doesn’t!” I argued, glancing down at her sleeping face. My chest tightened and my cock twitched. Every cell in my body was telling me she was right where she belonged, but she’d said it herself. She didn’t want me to get her pregnant. And soon, the urges would take complete control and she and I wouldn’t be able to stop ourselves.
“Have you lost your mind? You can’t bring her here. To a castle full of unmated vampire soldiers?”
I swore loudly as I realised she was right.
“Take her back to your place and make sure you are alone until it passes. I will deal with things here so no one worries about her.”
Take her back to the Knowlton mansion? No. I couldn’t. But… it was only an hour away.
“I can’t.”
“You have no other choice. She is safest with you, Luka.”
Hearing those words ignited a strange feeling of warmth in my chest as I inhaled deeply and squeezed my eyes shut before I shook my head.
“I can’t get her pregnant,” I growled through my teeth. The thought of bringing another version of me into a fucked-up world that was full of suffering, greed and evil had bile rising in my throat.
“There are such things as condoms, Luka. Ever heard of them?”
I froze as my eyes widened and I hung up the phone. I slammed on the brakes before making an aggressive U-turn and heading in the other direction towards the rural landscape of rolling hills and rugged clifftops. But first, to find a fucking shop open this late at night.
A massive wave of crippling need jolted me awake as I groaned, blinking rapidly to find myself back in the passenger seat of this stolen car.No, not again.I crossed my legs as my body trembled once more, the urge to touch myself tripling with every passing second.
′Need to mate!′ Rue roared in my mind.
“We’re nearly there,” Luka said, his voice so deep and strained that I knew the attack on my body wasn’t just affecting me. I turned my head to see his knuckles had turned white from where he was gripping the steering wheel so tightly and the veins in his forearms throbbed. My vision homed in on them as I licked my lips, wanting his blood so badly it hurt.
A hot flush broke over my skin and I felt like someone had set me alight. I cried out at the crippling pain as my body squirmed and I clawed at the PVC dress, wanting to tear it off my body. Why was I wearing this, of all things? The corset was too tight and I could barely breathe. I spotted a box of condoms in the compartment between us. I swear they weren’t there before. Where had they come from?
Luka’s head snapped my way and I moaned when I saw his face. Sweat was beading on his forehead, his eyes were the deepest shade of scarlet I had ever seen, and his fangs were so sharp between his parted lips that I nearly came just at the sight of him.
“Fuck,” he groaned as his eyes travelled my body, watching my hands running over my breasts and down my stomach.
The car stopped abruptly. Before I could even glimpse where we were, he ripped open my door and swept me into his arms. My surroundings blurred and in a matter of seconds, I was being thrown down on a mattress as my body bounced on impact. I didn’t even have time to look around before the next insufferable surge took hold and I screamed at the intensity between my legs.
“It’s getting worse!” I cried out, rolling onto my stomach and rubbing my thighs together to dull the need.
“It won’t be the same, but I got condoms,” he groaned from somewhere in the room. “But if you don’t want me to fuck you, I’ll chain myself up in the cellars until it passes.”
I moved my head to the side to see him standing in a shabby doorway that I didn’t recognise. With his arms raised over his head, he dug his claws into the frame, keeping himself outside. His chest rose and fell rapidly, but his eyes stayed fixed on me. He’d do that for me? The thought of him in a cellar, tied up in chains in hours of pain while I writhed and bent in half with agony, was unimaginable.
“No. Stay with me.”
He didn’t need to be told twice. His feet pounded on the floorboards as he moved into the room. A growl deep from the back of his throat came from the foot of the bed and I felt his hand wrap around my ankle. He yanked my body down towards him and I felt a sharp tug on the back of my corset before the sound of it tearing open caused me to gasp out in relief. Next went my dress with the same treatment, leaving me only in my suspenders.
“Last chance, love. Because once I start, I won’t be able to stop.”
I panted, my head swimming with the lust of being fucked by him for hours on end as the pounding in my pussy intensified, demanding its need for him.
“Then don’t stop, Luka.”
“Thank fuck.”
He knelt at the end of the bed and I gasped when his hands found my hips and pulled me back onto his face. His tongue lapped at my swollen clit, and I instantly exploded in pleasure, clawing the bedsheets with my nails and ripping them to shreds as I screamed into the mattress. Even when the orgasm passed, Luka never stopped relentlessly devouring me until another orgasm built. He was like a starving man, and he only came up for a breath once I dragged myself forwards, feeling way too sensitive for a third round. The need had dulled with those two orgasms and I felt a moment of calm wash over me as every muscle in my body relaxed.
He flipped me over onto my back and climbed up my body on his hands and knees like the predator he was at his core. His red eyes shone with raw desire and I moaned as my hands weaved up into his hair, tugging his lips to mine. Our mouths moved together in perfect synchronisation and when his tongue wrapped around mine, he groaned into my mouth. I could taste myself on him and it was so fucking hot, the heat ignited in me again. The need grew with force, coming on stronger and quicker than before as our kiss turned frantic and ravenous. Our tongues battled for dominance as his hands explored every inch of my exposed skin. His fingers tugged one of my pierced nipples, sending a jolt of pain mixed with pleasure through me as my head snapped back into the pillow, breaking our kiss. His mouth roamed over my jaw and down my throat, nipping me with his fangs and sucking at my skin as my body undulated wildly beneath him.
