He groaned, and his hands gripped my ass, guiding my clit in smooth circles over his hard-on. He tilted his neck further, giving me better access to his refreshing blood.
“Holy fucking Christ,” he said. “I’ll give you this dick whenever you want it, girl.”
I ground my clit harder on his cock, feeling his precum already making his pants wet with what his cock really wanted right now. The more blood I drank, the more power over the man I felt. I wasn’t going to fuck him, I was going to put him in his place for being an asshole about vampires. It was obviously natural for vamps and wolves to criticize each other, and this guy was going to be the first to learn that we’d better fucking get along and that having a vampire to fuck was a damn good thing.
I pulled back, licking Nakia’s neck and hearing him growl under his breath. His hands dug into my ass, and just in the power of his grip and the sounds he made with just this little episode, I had no idea how I didn’t manage to find his long, hard cock to ride it while I fed on him.
“Fuck me, man,” he said as I leapt up, feeling totally rejuvenated.
“Looks like you’re having some difficulty.” I eyed him as he rubbed his hard cock, trying to tame the thing I really wanted to feel pounding into me.
“How the hell did you do that?” he asked, eyes pleading with me.
“Fucking vampire, dumbass,” Zane said with a laugh. He walked over and draped his arm around my shoulder. “Your stupid ass is the exact reason we’re not ready to take an ancient witch out yet. You fell for the vampire’s oldest trick in their fucking playbook.”
“What the hell is that?” he snarled.
“Well, if you’d learned anything from of that fucking academy we were kidnapped and forced into as kids, you’d remember that the vampire gets the jump on the wolf if the wolf is stupid enough to be lured by their charms,” Bren chimed in.
Logan started laughing. “You sure you don’t want to go take care of that in the bathroom?” He covered a smile, “That hard-on might last you for a day or two.”
Braden walked over to the other side of me where Zane’s strong arm was still wrapped around my shoulder, looking down at the humbled wolf with a smile. “Let’s let this be the first damn lesson in self-control.” Zane looked at me, “You did pretty fucking awesome, Elle.”
I slithered out of his side and looked at Shane, “So that starts the bonding, right?”
“Wrong,” Shane answered. “Your selfish need for dominance over one of your own will not allow you to bond with him. You both must submit. This was not the case for either of you.”
“It was just a reminder that we’ve never let a vamp feed on us, and what do you know, some of the shit they do teach in academy school comes in handy in real life.” Bren looked at Zane, both masculine wolves laughing.
I reached for Nakia’s hand. “I’m fine,” he said dryly.
“If it helps, I look forward to us getting past these differences,” I smiled at him. “Trust me, I want to feel all you have to offer me. We’ll fix this and get back on track. I can’t wait to feel that dick inside me,” I conceded with a smile.
I wasn’t about to stand around and act like a bitch while I managed to surprisingly control myself. Nakia wasn’t an asshole, everyone was just acting on instincts right now, and we needed to get this shit out of our system. I wasn’t going to have him be the butt of all our jokes. We were all in this together. Nakia was mine, just as I was his. It was just going to take some time—hopefully sooner than later—for all of us to accept the new lifestyle this merge gave us and go all in on this bond.
Chapter Fourteen
Ifelt a massive headache oftoo much informationhitting me all at once. I mean, shit, I was a fucking vampire who practically killed my guys, and now we were merged with wolves because of it.
I stumbled into the bathroom, splashed some water on my face, and stared at the new, goddess-like appearance I was blessed with after the merge.
Truth be told, any other time, I’d have given anything to look flawless, glowing, and like I was a twenty-five-year-old figure of perfection chick. But right now, nothing could’ve mattered less to me.
I inhaled deeply, I was a fucking vampire, and my crazy world just took another ninety-degree turn on me. I felt a connection and some weird inner voice trying to calm my ass down—the merge obviously—but damn if I just wanted to lose it and screamwhy meat the top of my fucking lungs.
“Hey,” Braden’s voice chimed from the other side of the door with two soft knocks. “Baby, you okay? We’re ready to eat.”
“I don’t want this,” I said, opening the door. “I can’t understand why shit just keeps hitting us at every angle. How do we deal with this?” I cringed, “How the hell are you guys even cool with a bunch of wolf shifters letting your girl feed on them, much less be in the same room as them?”
Braden smiled sympathetically at me. “Come here.” He held out his large, protective arms toward me. I melted into my vampire’s comforting embrace, feeling all those feelings flood out of my body from the comfort of him.
“Listen,” he started, leaning his head on top of mine, “In a natural, non-merge, ceremonial way, I would have ripped Nakia’s fucking head off once I watched his dick harden at you feeding off the mother fucker. Then I would have snatched your sweet little ass up and claimed my girl as my own, doing any and everything she wanted me to do to her in the privacy of our own room.”
“Hearing you say that makes me want you to do that right now,” I laughed, then pushed off of him. “Then the other part of me makes me want to slap you across your arrogant—and sexy—vampire face for being a dick and not accepting he’s one of us.”
Braden’s smile was devastatingly handsome when he touched my cheek, “That’s the supernatural blood merge we all just created. Listen, I know this shit as to be difficult for you, what I’m most concerned about is easing you into this new vampire life that fucking witch cursed you with. I want to know how allthatshit is making you feel.” He cocked his head to the side. “You’re naturally a human, and human emotions just don’t go away; although, you’ve been quite the exception to the rule in our case. You took to this life better than I think a supernatural would have if they’d been thrown into your situation.”
“You’re saying I was born for this?”
