“I need you to leave now, Tommy.”

He nodded quietly, “Oui,” he turned and began to walk back to the side gate but stopped abruptly and said, “I will find her and I will keep you safe no matter the cost. I will show you that you are more to me than my past and I will earn your love,mon coeur. Do you understand me?”

“Goodbye, Tommy. Thank you for the Raven.”

“Je t’aimeBels. I’ll see you soon.”

THOMAS

The sun filtered through her sheer curtains, casting a soft warm glow on her otherwise pale skin. Her violet hair shone pink in a certain light, and when it did, her flush was that much more pronounced, making her all too kissable. Her lips parted slightly while she slept and she’d moan softly, embracing every moment of relaxation she could before she had to wake up for the day and put her unfeeling female mask back on. I could lay beside her and watch her eyes flutter with dreams with her body curved under mine for the rest of my existence. This was not just a deal to lessen her anxiety, it was the beginning of something more. The beast inside of me knew it just as well as I did, and neither of us had any interest in ending this arrangement in November.

I tilted my head down and placed a trail of soft kisses down her exquisite back, tracing her shoulders with my finger.

“Amour, it’s time to start another day,” I spoke into her skin, knowing that being the first sound she heard in the morning was a gift. I wanted to be the first and last thing she heard or saw every day. I wanted to be that constant for her. Fuck, I hardly knew the woman, but she felt like a perfect Autumn day. She was just right - just perfectly right.

She groaned and stretched, uncurling her legs from where they were against mine, and rolled slightly to face me, “hey, you.”

“Bonjour,” I smiled and leaned in to brush my mouth against hers and was rewarded with her turning fully, her warmth pressing into me and molding to my form. She hummed against my lips and withdrew from me with a smile.

“I think it’s kind of a rip-off that I’m dating a vampire and yet you’re a morning person. That’s dumb on so many levels.”

I chuckled, squeezing her closer to me in an embrace that brought my nose into her neck allowing me to inhale her intoxicating ginger and citrus fragrance. My fingers flexed into the soft flesh of her hips, grinding my pelvis against her, “I could do this every morning,” I admitted.

“Do what? Cause so far you haven’t done anything.”

“Oh really?” I laughed, dragging my teeth along the column of her throat, and she elongated herself like a cat stretching in the sun, “should I stop then,mon coeur?”

“Fuck you.” I felt her grin. I felt the affection in her words, despite their meaning.

“Gladly.” I pressed one more kiss to her throat and then rolled over so she sat astride me, my length pressing against her heat. Nothing was separating us in the mornings - we’d lose our clothes throughout the night, worshipping each other’s bodies until we collapsed, sleeping in the nude.

She squealed, pressing down into me, “if it’s time to start our day, what makes you think I possibly have time to fuck you and make coffee? Don’t you think the coffee is more important?”

I scoffed, “Oh, coffee is more important than me?Merde, Bels, that’s great for my confidence.”

“Shush, Frenchie. Let me enjoy this.” she slid down my body, dragging her breasts against my skin with a mischievous grin, and throwing her long hair over her shoulder, “They say it’s the best way to wake up in the morning.”

“I’m not going to argue with that, amour.”

She took my length in her hand, pumping it slowly, before she leaned in and pulled her tongue along the underside, tracing the vein upward with her stunning green eyes locked on mine.

“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” I groaned, finger-combing her hair into my hand, wrapping it twice around my wrist, “you’re perfect.”

She flashed me one more smile before she tilted her head and took me between her lips, fluttering her tongue against me, and pressing me along the roof of her mouth. I groaned, moving my other hand to her head as well, and sat up slightly to watch Bels take my cock into her throat. “Merde, just like that.” I hissed, feeling the walls of her throat close on me, tightening the channel and forcing me back out. She gasped, a trail of saliva connecting us as she withdrew, and then she dove again, hollowing her cheeks and devouring me in a seemingly effortless way that drove me insane. She drew her hand down, dragging it through her labia, collecting her desire, and began rubbing it into her clit, jumping slightly at the stimulation which only shoved me further into her throat, almost causing her to gag.

“Fuck, more, just like that, beautiful. Look at how good you are taking me, love, look at you.”

She moaned at my words sending vibrations through my body, coiling my desire tighter inside of me. “You keep up like that and I’m going to cum in your mouth, Bels.” She hummed in approval again and I began to fuck her face slowly, holding her head still, and taking her mouth for my pleasure. I chased it, feeling it tighten, feeling lost in her warmth until I a jolt came from behind. Her cream-covered finger explored my ass, probing inside of it and making me see stars, curling her digit toward her as if she was beckoning my orgasm to come this way.

She withdrew her mouth, licking it leisurely, “is this okay?” she asked softly, curling her finger inside of me again.

“Fuck, yes it is. Fuck.” I groaned, pulling her mouth back onto my length and tilting my hips to allow her better access. She pushed her finger in more before slowly adding a second and scissoring them apart, all while taking me down her throat to the hilt. My body ratcheted up a never ending roller coaster, my mind warning me that when this crested it would be the climax of a lifetime.

She pressed into me once more, firmly milking me with her two fingers before I exploded, holding her face against my pelvis, shooting my cum down her eager throat, pulsing and grunting as if I’d never orgasmed before.

“Fucking hell, Annabel!” I growled and released her and she pulled up my length taking ragged breaths, oh so fucking slow as she withdrew her fingers from my ass. She grinned and kissed the inside of my thigh.
