Once Forbidden(17)

Now, he flexed his hips, entering her gently. Her soft inner muscles clenched around him instantly and he groaned. Once seated to the hilt, he paused again. “Tell me you’re mine,” he repeated. He needed the words.

Sarah smiled through her tears. There were still many questions to be answered, problems to be solved—but all of that could come later—now that she knew he loved her. “I’m yours,” she whispered. He was long and hard inside her. It still amazed her a little how well they fit together. Her eyes closed and she arched her hips. She was rewarded by the quiver of him inside her.

“What are you waiting for?” she asked.

Devlin smiled. “For you.”

Sarah moved her hands to his head and pulled his head down. She smiled against his lips and kissed him. She moved quickly then, testing her new strength as she flipped so he was beneath her.

Devlin grinned. “Taking charge?”

Sarah nodded and began to move, lifting her hips by excruciatingly slow increments, and then lowering them again. Her plan had been to tease him, but she was teasing herself instead. She groaned as she continued to move over him, faster now. Her hands splayed across the wide expanse of his chest.

Devlin felt the bite of her nails, and was lost. He gripped her hips in his hands and moved, arching his hips on each of her downward strokes, taking her deeper. “Yes,” he groaned.

Part of him wanted to move her beneath him again and simply drive them both to climax, but he was enjoying this too much. Even now, he could tell by the look on her beautiful face that this was again something new for her. It pleased him more than he could say.

“Help me,” she said after several long moments.

Devlin switched their positions once more, not moving from inside her. “Put your legs around my arms,” he ordered.

Unhesitant, Sarah complied.

Devlin braced his weight on his hands and drove inside her hard now. This position kept her open to him and allowed for the deepest penetration. He continued the powerful strokes, and she began to shudder with her climax. “That’s it, love. Come for me.” Devlin reached down between their bodies and found the hard nubbin of her clitoris and pinched it gently between his thumb and forefinger.

“Oh God,” Sarah said on a moan. “Please, it’s too much.” He was so deep inside her, and her body jerked with the force of each powerful thrust. His fingers were working magic, but it was all too much.

His lovemaking was always intense, but this was different. It was almost as if he was trying to brand her body with his own. The force of his determination was palpable and a little frightening in its intensity.

Devlin ignored her, continuing to move strongly inside her while he rubbed her clitoris; first gently and then harder until she yelled with the force of her release.

Her release brought him closer to his own, and he clenched his teeth and groaned as his seed shot inside her.

Sarah was crying softly when Devlin gently eased her legs down and rolled to his side, keeping her with him.

“What’s wrong, love?” Devlin asked, his voice filled with concern.

“It was too much,” she whispered.

Devlin frowned now. “I hurt you?”

Sarah shook her head. “You didn’t hurt me.”

Devlin kissed her now, very gently. “When two vampires make love, Sarah, it’s more intense than when humans make love. We have enhanced senses.” He should have made love to her slowly and gently, damn it. He cursed himself for frightening her. “I didn’t mean to overwhelm you, Sarah.”

She smiled through the tears falling down her temples. “I liked being on top.”

Devlin wrapped his arms around her and rolled to his back, automatically putting her on top with the move. He smiled at the shocked look on her face as he grew inside her again. Letting her test her wings would do more to center her than any words he could say. “You’re on top. What are you going to do now?” Devlin cupped a breast in each hand, flicking her nipples with his thumbs.

Sarah arched her back. She loved his hands on her body. Sarah decided that if she liked her nipples touched, he might, too. She flicked one of his nipples with her nail, watching his face carefully, and saw his eyes dilate. She smiled and did it again.

Devlin pulled her down so he could suckle at her breasts. He laved them gently with his tongue and drew one peak deeply into his mouth, sucking gently.

Sarah felt the pull from her breasts to her core and moved then, slowly, over him.





Chapter Ten





Devlin and Sarah spent the next several days working on her new abilities. He knew that he had to teach her. Devlin told Sarah that he needed to teach her how to protect herself. To do that, she needed to understand her new abilities and learn to master them. They were now sitting in his living room. He was sitting next to her on a leather sofa, his feet propped on the table in front of them.
