A Mate for York(63)

“For blood, Cass. You will need to drink from me often.”

Cassidy had to smile at him. “I already bite you all the time during sex.”

His face got this goofy, faraway look. “I love it when you do that. Makes my dick fucking explode.” He turned serious. “Blood drinking is a whole other level.”

“If I drink from you, will it be as good as when you drink from me?”

He nodded, his eyes glowed softly and his nostrils flared. “Big time. Mated couples drink from one another, it is the vampire way.”

“I’m going to be your wife…your mate…I want you to be satisfied. I won’t lie, the thought freaks me out a little but I’m good. I’m sure I’ll love it.”

York swallowed thickly. “I love you, Cass. I can’t wait to be inside you so I’m going to move onto the next thing now because I don’t have much patience left.”

“There’s more?” She quickly smiled to show that she was joking…well sort of joking.

York nodded. “Your breasts will fill with blood instead of milk.”

Cassidy shrugged. “That figures. I would give birth to a vampire baby so it stands to reason that he or she would drink blood.”

“He,” York said.

Cassidy felt herself frown. “What do you mean by he? He as in a boy? You can’t know that.”

“The child will be a boy. We are not sure why but all vampire/human births to date have led to the births of boys. We will have a son.”

“A son. I don’t want to get too excited yet. What if I don’t get pregnant?” It felt like a boulder landed in the pit of her stomach. To think just hours earlier she had thought she would never conceive, never be a mom, never get to experience the wonderful gift of giving life to another.

York cupped her chin. “Then we will try again and again and keep going until it happens. It will happen, Cass, of this I am sure.”

She nodded, trying hard to believe him. Wanting so badly for it to be true.

York grinned, letting his hand fall away. “Vampires have seriously potent seed and as the Elite Leader, my sperm is particularly powerful.”

Cassidy had to laugh, she shook her head. “I’m sure you’re right. Is there anything else I should know?”

York clenched his jaw, his eyes darkened up. “It is not without risk. My kings almost lost their mate early on in her pregnancy. Human females will struggle to survive a miscarriage. Even our own females are greatly affected. The good news is, you will become stronger and even take on some of our vampire traits, not just blood drinking but general stuff.”

“Like what? How soon?”

“It will happen after we mate and will gradually become more pronounced as we bond with one another. You drinking my blood will strengthen the bond between us.” His eyes lightened as a hunger returned. “You will see better, hear better, all of your senses will become magnified. You will age slower…”

“If I had known that, I would’ve agreed to this much sooner. In fact, I would’ve joined the breeding program instead of the trial phase,” Cassidy joked.

York frowned, his whole body became tense.

“What is it? I was only joking.” She moved closer to him, grabbing his biceps.

When he locked eyes with her, he smiled. “I know that.” He kissed her. A quick brush of the lips. “I told you that I’ve never had to work so hard to get a female as what I had to with you. Almost impossible.” His face became serious and his jaw tensed. “It’s just that there are females within the program for the wrong reasons. You just reminded me of that.”

“What? Women who want to slow down aging?”

“I hadn’t thought of that one since it is not a major thing for vampires, but yeah. There are more advantages to being with us, they want money, and to live in luxury. I worry that a male might end up with someone like that.”

“Give the guys some credit.” Cassidy pulled her shredded dress over her head and shrugged out of the ruined bra. “I’m sure they’re more intelligent than that.”

“Sometimes a male will lose his mind.” He spoke slowly, his eyes on her breasts. York growled softly, sending a shiver up her spine.

“Was there anything else you needed to tell me?” Her pussy felt slick. Her nipples pebbled under his scrutiny.

He shook his head. “More than likely but damned if I can remember.” His nostrils flared and he licked his lips. “I think I covered the important stuff.” His eyes drifted to the juncture of her thighs. “I want you on your hands and knees, Cass. Since you are about to become a vampire’s mate, I need to rut you…seriously rut you and in true vampire style.”
