I hold his gaze, feeling my heart lurch in my chest.“I know,” I tell him.“I feel safe around you.”It’s the truth.Physically, I do feel safe.But morally…I’ve been toeing that line my whole life.And it hits me that’s what’s so unnerving: I don’t think there is anything I can do to make Xavier look at me like I’m less than, like I’m evil.
Like I’m a monster.
Because if I am, then what does that make him?
“We are going to be walking into a meeting with some of my closest associates.”
I raise one eyebrow.“Yeah, that helps.Really clears things up.”
He flashes a cocky smirk and takes my hand, lacing our fingers together and bringing it to his lips.“You’ll see when you get in there.”
“Okay,” I say simply and unbuckle as well.Xavier gets out and zooms around, opening the car door for me.“But just to remind you, I am no damsel in distress.If things go sideways in there, I will protect myself by any means necessary.”
He closes the door behind me and, in the blink of an eye, pins me up against the car.“You have no idea how much it turns me on to think of you magically ripping someone to shreds,” he whispers, breathing against my neck.My eyes flutter shut and a chill runs through me.“Thinking about the things you could do…” His lips go to my neck and I can’t help but grip his waist, pulling him closer so his cock presses against me.Fuck, I want to feel that thing get hard.“You have no idea how powerful you are, Wren.”
“I could hurt someone,” I breathe.
“I know,” he growls.“You shouldn’t hold back.”He cups my chin with his large hand and tips my face up to his.Slowly, he leans down so his lips are only centimeters away from mine.
“I don’t want to.”I let my head fall back, resting against the window.“Not anymore.”Heat rushes through me and my body screams for more of his touch.Parting my lips, I slit my eyes open and inhale, tightening my grip on Xavier.
The second my fingers press into him, he puts his lips to mine.I gasp but then quickly melt against him, hands sliding along his back.Xavier widens his legs and steps in, pinning me against the car.He kisses me with fervor, tender but driven at the same time.He moves his hand back, fingers curling around the hair at the nape of my neck.
His tongue pushes into my mouth and I need more.Everything inside of me begs for him, needing to feel every single inch of him.Then he quickly moves his head back and I open my eyes just enough to see his fangs before he puts his mouth to my neck.I dig my fingers against him, anticipating a bite, but it doesn’t come.Instead, I feel the sharp tips of his fangs on the surface of my skin as he kisses my neck, sending tingles of desire spiraling through me.
“Xavier,” I groan as he brings one of his hands down, bunching up my dress.I part my legs, heart hammering in my chest.I hook my arms around his shoulders, body humming with need for him.He sucks a little harder at my neck, fangs pressing into my flesh.
Slowly, he puts one hand between my thighs, moving his fingers up inch by fucking inch, teasing me on purpose.I’m about to grab his wrist and bring his fingers to me when he curls one long finger over my clit.
A gasp escapes my lips and I shudder from the instant pleasure.He does it again, playing with me through the thin fabric of my underwear.I arch my back, offering myself to him.With a growl he moves his lips back to mine and slips his hand down the top of my underwear.
His skin is smooth and cool against me and it’s all I can do to stay upright when he starts to stroke me.He moves his fingers up and down and in a circle, alternating and gaining speed.My breathing quickens and a coil of desire tightens inside of me.My entire body tenses and my mouth falls open as the orgasm builds.
The only time I’ve even gotten close to coming this fast was after some alone time with a really good vibrator, and Xavier is giving it a run for its money.He’s moving his fingers with vampire speed, yet isn't rough with his touch.Holy shit, all those years—all those centuries—of experience has taught him exactly how to pleasure a woman and it’s paying off for me right now.But it’s more than him being good physically; it’s the way he can look at me and see me for exactly who I am.
And he’s not running off or telling me I’m a freak of nature or anything of the sorts.His acceptance of me means even more now that I know how his maker was killed, and standing here, pressed up against the G-Wagon in a dark alley, I feel safe and seen in the weirdest way.And—holy fuck—I cannot get enough of him.
“Ohhh,” I moan, wanting to tell him that I’m so close to cumming and he better not fucking stop doing what he’s doing.I’m so wet, so wound up, it’s not going to take much longer.He pushes two fingers inside of me right before I climax, finger-fucking me while continuing to rub my clit with his thumb.I’ve never experienced anything like this, and my entire body shudders with intense pleasure.My pussy spasms around his fingers, which he’s moving inside me with expertise, rubbing against my inner walls.
He wraps his free arm around me, holding me up as he keeps working, bringing me to the brink of another orgasm from the penetration in a matter of seconds.I’ve only come like this a few times, and oh my fucking god, does it feel good.My knees start to shake and if it wasn’t for his vampire strength, I could collapse against him.
“Breathe,” he whispers, slowly pulling his hand back so his soaking wet fingers rest against my thigh.My head flops forward, resting on his chest.I’m panting, body still humming as little aftershocks of pleasure pulse through me.I’m panting, heart racing, and my lips start to curve into a smile.
Holy shit.
I don’t know if I could handle doing that again without passing out.My legs are shaking and my underwear is wet from being so turned on.Xavier holds me against him for a moment before taking his hand from between my legs.He puts his fingers in his mouth, slowly licking the remnants of me off.Then he takes my hand and leads me inside.“Come on, Mrs.Malus.It’s time to introduce you to the crew.”
CHAPTER24
With my arm linked through Xavier’s, I walk into this restaurant with a natural expression on my face, acting like he didn’t just give me the most feral finger-banging of my life in a shady alley behind an even shadier building.I’m still weak in the knees and if there are any other vampires in here, they’ll be able to smell the sex on his fingers, that’s for sure.
My ears started to ring just seconds after he led me away from the car, and if it wasn’t for my tight grip on my arm, I might have stumbled once or twice.I’m still reeling with pleasure, still unable to process just what happened yet also unable to stop thinking about how good the appetizer was, filling me up with more satisfaction than any main course.
Would I be able to handle him—all of him?My hand swept over his cock right before he pulled away.I only felt the outline of it behind his pants and I don’t know if it’ll all fit inside of me but I’m more than willing to try.
“Good evening, Xavier,” an older man says as we step through the employee door and into the actual restaurant.To my surprise, it’s much nicer than I expected, resembling an upscale place that would have been too out of my price range before.
“Governor,” Xavier responds with a curt nod.Governor?Is this guy—no, it can’t be.But I think it is.Governor Alan Richards, the Governor of North Carolina, built his campaign on being anti-vampire.He’s the current Governor and I’m pretty sure he’s actively trying to pass a new law that would tax vampires double what humans are taxed.He’s popular amongst the hunters, and I’ve heard young kids chanting his lame, “Keep blood in our veins, not on their table” slogan over and over again.This guy even passed out wooden stakes engraved with his name at last year’s Fourth of July parade.
