Page 19 of Taken By the Vampires
Xander traced the line of my cheek with his fingertips before placing his knuckle beneath my chin. “We are claiming you, Tu Ena. Through you, we will find our freedom.”
He moved impossibly fast, coming to stand so close, the full front of my body touched his—my knees, thighs, abdomen and breasts. His body heat, his masculine smell enveloped me.
I inhaled deeply, my terror fading until a calmness overcame me. The place between my thighs swelled and throbbed as tension of an entirely different kind began to thrum within me.
“I don’t want to be claimed.” Even to my own ears, my voice lacked conviction. Davon and Cassius framed either side of me, each taking hold of a shoulder. The invisible hands vanished, but I was still held in place just as firmly.
“This will be as pleasurable for me as it will be for you. I promise.” I was drawn into Xander’s gaze. His eyes were all that I could focus on, all I wanted. He bent his head, capturing my mouth with his.
It was a tender kiss at first, but he pinched my chin between his knuckle and thumb and his kiss became more aggressive. His tongue plundered my mouth, but I didn’t care as arousal swept me away.
I groaned into his mouth, settling my hands on his shoulders, as his lips and tongue ravaged me until I was a senseless mess. Tension built, locked behind an invisible dam I had no idea how to break. All I knew was that I wanted him. Needed him. I couldn’t get enough. He was intoxicating.
My legs weakened. Xander’s arms banded around me, forcing me against his body. His erection pulsed against my abdomen, hard enough for me feel his full length, even through his clothing.
There was a brush of fingers in my hair, the sweep of lips against the skin at my neck. Cassius nuzzled my ear, drawing the lobe into his mouth, teasing and sucking. Davon’s palm smoothed over my back until he reached my buttocks.
He palmed the globes and then slid his fingers between my thighs from behind. Tingles raced from the pressure, the seam of my jeans adding to the delicious friction.
I parted my thighs, allowing his fingers to rock against me. He increased the pressure and soon my hips were moving against his hand. I crushed my breasts against Xander, my nipples rock-hard twin points. The pressure ramped up, making me extra sensitive to each arousing caress, brush of lips, and Xander’s sensual invasion of my mouth.
A part of me wanted them to stop, but that was a far distant part that was receding more and more with each passing moment. Somewhere inside of me, I knew this was wrong on so many levels, but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember why.
I didn’t care that there were three of them, touching me with obvious intent, stoking my desire until the only thing I cared about was their hands, their lips, their tongues. All leading me to a pinnacle I ached to reach.
Cassius curved his fingers around the back of my neck. An adjustment to his fingers had my head falling back, stretching and exposing my neck. He nuzzled my skin, his nose brushing up and down, his lips trailing a heated wake where he touched me.
Cassius pressed his lips against mine. Tender at first, but then his lips parted and his tongue slid into my mouth, sweeping inside as though he had every right. And he had. I couldn’t deny him. Instead, I returned his kiss, unable to stop the slide of my tongue against his.
His kiss wasn’t as brutal as Xander’s, but it was still a statement of ownership. Controlled. And damn if that didn’t send my blood to the boiling point. He worked my mouth masterfully, obliterating my mind except for the knowledge I was helpless against their onslaught.
He eased away, trailing light kisses from my mouth to my jaw, and to the tender place where my neck met my shoulder. Goosebumps rose on my skin with two hot, wet mouths claiming me.
And yet, there was something missing. No sooner had I thought this, than Davon lifted my arm, kissing the tender underside of my wrist. His lips suckled. Something hard and sharp scraped my skin but it was gone just as fast. A sigh rippled through me as a sense of completion built with all three mouths on me.
Xander shifted, a subtle move but one that allowed a shard of clarity to enter my mind. A ripple of apprehension unsettled my hazy arousal. His lips changed from one of kissing to only lightly touching the surface of my skin. Cassius did the same. Their teeth angled, dimpling my skin. Two mouths at my neck, Davon’s at my wrist.
“What’s going on..?”
I only had a moment to stiffen in shock before a sharp pain sliced into my neck. Xander’s lips enveloped me. Suction drew from my vein before a euphoric sensation rocketed through me. Cassius’ teeth sank through my skin next. Pain at my wrist as Davon tore the delicate webbing of veins with his teeth. My mouth fell open, but no sound emerged.
My muscles locked and spasmed, trembling as I shot toward the pinnacle of release. I climaxed with an orgasm that shot from my clit to the outside of my skull. Someone screamed and I vaguely recognized the voice as mine as spirals of electric sensation rocketed through me.
I gasped, sucking in air with lungs that had locked, along with every other muscle in my body. As blackness edged my vision, Xander’s red eyes encroached, surrounding me, growing larger until they filled my sight. I was locked in place, neither moving nor even breathing.
His lips, stained with blood – my blood - curved and a look of blatant male satisfaction washed over his face. “Now, you are ours.”
Chapter Thirteen
I woke with a start and the book slid to the floor. I flinched when Cassius’s face loomed in my vision, momentarily confused before my surroundings came back into context. The books. The library. The snowstorm.
The three of them.
“It’s okay. It was just a dream.”
My forehead tensed with a frown. “How did you know I was asleep?”
I flattened my palm over my chest in an attempt to ease the erratic beats of my heart, but it didn’t do any good. My heart still wanted to thump its way out of my chest.
