“They were. They just weren’t all in mentally, and that is because of the lack of trust in themselves with the pull to you being so strong.”
I caught his hand. To hell with emotions, I wanted to kiss his perfect lips. I wanted to taste the bourbon on them. I wanted to taste him.
“I’m pretty sure it will be phenomenal when you guys finally trust yourselves with me.” I was trying to see how far I could take Braden. My mind, my body, and my soul was urging me to do this, and I wasn’t about to fight it.
“It will be fucking mind-blowing.” He winked at me, took my hand, and pressed his lips into the center of my palm. “Once we all figure this out, I’m sure…” he paused, his eyes growing dark. “Damn it,” he said in almost a growl.
“What?” I looked around to find what interrupted him.
“I have to go. I can’t do this.”
I followed him into the living room. “Can’t do what?” I asked, my frustration growing almost to the point of anger.
He turned to me, pain on his face. “I don’t have enough blood to give me the strength to hold back right now. I can’t explain this. It’s the first time this has happened to me.”
“Braden, you’re fine. We’re fine. Relax a little.”
Braden’s solid build was in front of me, his hands cupping my ass in that instant. He pulled me up without any effort, lips inches from mine, eyes never once leaving my shocked ones. His firm hand ran under my sweater, sliding up my spine.
“I can’t relax, Ellie,” his voice was gruff, lips at my ear. “I want to give you every part of what I’m feeling right now…it makes me ache not to. Fuck, I can’t hurt you.”
I heard the sorrow in his voice, but I wasn’t backing down. I ran my hands for the first time through Braden’s thick, black locks, trying to urge him on.
“I won’t turn my emotions off if I fuck you,” he said. “That’s why I can’t do this. When I’m inside of you, when I taste you—your blood and your body—I want to feel every part of that. I will let it drive me.” He pressed tight lips into my neck, “And that, baby, is the reason it won’t go farther than this right now.”
“Damn it,” I said, feeling the heat between my legs, my body aching like never before. “I feel like…”
He set me down, and I collapsed into the couch. Braden was kneeling in front of me, studying my eyes. “Like what?” he pressed.
“Like Ineedthis. Like if you leave me in this state, I’m going to come undone. My body and mind are telling me you have to feed on me. I can’t control my feelings either.”
His head cocked to the side, “You’re not afraid of me completely losing it?”
I pulled my shirt off and brought his head to the center of my chest. “If we did this right here and now, I wouldn’t want it to ever end, and I know you won’t lose it. You care too much. That’s why I know you should trust yourself with me. I can’t explain it, I just feel it in my bones.”
I felt the tip of Braden’s tongue run up the center of my chest, and the throbbing ache for him to be inside me was hitting me like a ton of bricks. Goosebumps covered my skin, and my legs began tingling. I felt the pressure building up as soon as Braden’s fangs slid down.
“Drink from me, Braden. Taste me.” My mind was in full control of this bond we all had.
“Oh, I’m going to taste you,” he whispered before his lips went to the bare skin of the inside of my leg.
Thank God. One vampire finally trusting himself with me.
He slid my jeans off of me effortlessly, and then gently spread my legs. My head dropped back when his lips caressed the inside of my thighs while I panted, feeling an orgasm building up with that action alone.
“I can tell you’re close, baby.” He was so close to the wet spot my pussy made on my underwear. “That’s it, Ellie.”
A flick of his tongue caused a dam of pleasure to burst through without warning. It was just like it had been with Zac when I came from him hardly even touching me. It was indescribable how my body reacted to them, and I never wanted off this ride.
Braden’s fingers slipped inside me and were instantly rubbing against a spot that had never been touched before.
“Do you feel that? Fuck,” he said, his face wild with desire. “You’re going to come so fucking hard.”
He gently pulled at my G-spot, massaging it while he circled my clit with his other hand. I clawed my hands into the sides of the couch, riding this wave of pleasure as it mounted and mounted.
“That’s it, baby. Fuck yes.”
I bucked and groaned against heavenly bliss that wouldn’t stop. It was such a blast of emotions I barely felt Braden start sucking my clit as his fingers stayed buried inside me. I locked my legs around his neck, gripped his head as I thrust myself into him with each tremor that rocked my body. This never-ending orgasm had me tremoring and fighting to catch my breath.
