“And yes,” I giggle, smearing the tears from my cheeks. “Did I say that yet? Yes, yes, all the yeses in the world, Torsten.”
Red shimmers through his cheeks as he reaches over and slides the ring onto my finger, and then he stands up, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close to him with the unstoppable power of a vampire.
I feel the heat of his amulet, blazing, urgent.
“Are you ready?” he growls, kissing me softly and then harder, a savage thrum moving through both of us.
“I am,” I gasp, breaking off the kiss, clasping his pulsating face in my hands. “But are you? No matter what you say, Torsten, you’re giving up a lot for me. You’re giving up—”
“I’m gaining so much more,” he says with passion flaring beneath his words. “A life. A life I never dreamed I’d have. Perhaps a life I didn’t think I deserved. I love you, Tammy, and nothing in this world would make me want to choose the dark of the night over the light of our love.”
I blink away another wave of tears and lean up, kissing him softly, and then harder, sinking into the kiss as my body rages just as hotly as his.
Chapter Twelve
Torsten
I guide her into the cabin, minimally but sleekly furnished. The entire space is open-plan, with a deluxe kitchen, a corner couch arranged in front of a crackling fire that rages and crackles after a little encouragement, a separate bathroom with heated floors and then the bed, the goddamn bed, the only thing I’m interested in as my hand roams over my fiancé’s body and down to that round, plump ass.
“Fuck,” I snarl, palming it as she bends over for me, knowing what I like, knowing how to please me just as I’ll spend every day for the rest of our mortal lives trying to please her.
I slide my hands over her pants and then push her down softly, spinning her onto her back. The lighting is soft and the sheets are blood-red silk, but I can’t help but let the surging feed pulse through me one final time as I pull down her pants and her panties in one savage stroke.
The room pumps red like an artery, lighting up brightly, as I lean forward and brush my tongue roughly up her lips. I suck on her clit, attacking it with the tip of my tongue, sending shivering charms through her body until she’s breathing heavily and twitching against me.
I reach up and grab her breasts over her shirt as she creams in my mouth, sucking in the tangy come, drinking down every last drop like the fucking savage I am.
Then I stand up and tear my clothes off, my whole body trembling with the importance of this moment.
I strip my chest bare to reveal my muscled torso, the skin smooth except for the war scars I received in my mortal life.
I gaze down at her when I’m naked, my cock so hard I feel like it could erupt any second.
The amulet pulses as brightly as my feed-infused skin, flashing against her, lighting her up for me.
“Shirt,” I snarl. “Now. I need to suck those nipples.”
She wriggles out of her shirt and unclips her bra, lying on her back, her body a curvaceous juicy treat just waiting to be ravaged by me, by her man, by the only man who’s ever going to get to touch that body.
Because if anybody else tried, vampiric abilities or not, I’d make them regret it.
I can feel the amulet willing me to take her as I lean down over her, pressing my body against hers so that my chest flattens her breasts.
I find her lips and claim them as my own, kissing her with more force each passing moment, but with the amulet singing through my mind in a sorcerer’s chant, I feel my fangs shimmering strangely, as though they don’t want to bite, as though I can lie with my woman as a man, just a man, and that’s a glorious fucking thing for a vampire who’s known no other life for a millennium.
She reaches down, more confident now than she was the first time, and tightens her palm around my manhood.
I growl softly as she strokes my precome up and down my shaft, a glittering lust in her eyes I can’t look away from.
“You look so beautiful right now,” I whisper.
“I love you,” she gasps, as I arch my back and plunge inside of her.
“Say it again,” I growl.
“I love you.”
I pump harder, feeling her pussy flutter and shiver around my throbbing cock.
“I love you,” she gasps, and the next time she says it her voice turns hollow as a sudden orgasm grips her.
I watch the surprise fill her eyes, the quickest orgasm that has struck her yet.
I have to grit my teeth as her pussy gets ultra-tight around my massive cock, quivering and pulsing in time with the amulet, the light of which is flowing through the room like water now, touching every corner of it, blinding with its light.
