“Look, I don’t know what the hell is going on but I’m leaving.”
He shifted his body and faced her head-on. “I tried to protect you.” His chest puffed out as he sucked in air. “Your power will eventually return but I don’t care about that—I don’t want you to leave. I want you to stay here.” His eyes gleamed with lust and he never looked away. “Be with me.”
“What?” Shit! No punches pulled here. She had the same feeling, the same need.
“You want me, I can smell it. And I’ve never wanted a woman, beast or vampyre the way I want you right now.” Two steps and he stood before her. He moved his hand to her neck and caressed it. His fingers slid up, feathered across her cheek, and she leaned into them. Strong hands.
“I want you to come in, see what I want from you.” His eyes blasted her with heat.
She fell into his mind like sliding down a slippery slope, tumbling headlong into his memories. One dark corner stood closed and shrouded in shadows. Hidden away from her. Bastard. He did not intend to let her all the way in.
“Why do you hide part of yourself from me?”
“I’m letting you see all you need to know.”
“Go to hell.”
His arms enfolded her, snatched her tight into his hardness. His cock bulged between them as his mouth crushed into hers. She wouldn’t open for him and Alek didn’t force her. He peppered her face with warm, sweet kisses. Licked her lips, nibbled on the lower one until it bled. Sucking on it, he groaned.
Viv couldn’t help herself when her mouth opened and accepted his tongue. His hands captured her breasts and kneaded them into wanton peaks. He tweaked and played with her nipples through the material of her shirt, his thumb and fingers drew slow, lazy circles around the nubs. Moving his hands lower, he slipped beneath her top. Her clothes instantly vanished.
Alek chuckled at her haste. “Some of your magic remains.” She bit his lip hard and her knees buckled at the exotic taste that flowed into her mouth.
He caught her up in his arms and naked skin pressed to hers.
“The sun…”
“Shh, you will never be safer.” They vanished to a cool room that held no windows. Candles blinked to life, revealing walls of murals showing rainforests beneath blue skies filled with birds of every color. A bed much larger than king-size was covered in a jewel-colored quilt that looked so inviting. Deep, soft carpeting silenced each step. Fragrant lilies of every color filled vases placed on polished tables with intricately carved legs. “The prince keeps this room beneath the mansion for his vampyre friends. Nothing, no one, will harm you here.”
He sat her on the bed. Stepping back, he let his eyes devour her while she took in every inch of his body. Damn, what a cock. Viv liked what she saw, wanted to taste it. Her tongue flitted out and again laughter poured from him.
“You have a foul mouth and no modesty at all.”
Clamping her mind shut, she aimed a hard slap at his face. He caught her hand in a steel grip and held her firm. “And I like it. You make me hotter than hell.” He moved her hand to his mouth and planted a warm kiss on the underside of her wrist. His tongue swept across the palm to the tips of her fingers, where he nibbled playfully.
Alek sucked on each finger, sending tremors through her body.
She wanted him badly. A moan climbed from her throat and she mumbled, “Now.”
“Now, what? Tell me what you want.”
“Fuck me. Hard and fast.” Viv wanted to come.
“No.”
“Damn you, Alek, damn you to hell.”
“Soft and slow. I’ll make you beg for it. Let me in.”
I’ll never beg. Viv couldn’t hold him out any longer.
That’s my tough-ass baby girl.
He caressed her breasts, her stomach. Alek pushed her flat on the bed and kneeled on the mattress between her outstretched legs. His large hands touched and lingered on every exposed part of her.
They moved over her face and he stuck his thumb through her open lips. “Take it.”
She did. Viv pulled it in and sucked on it like a lollipop.
Leaning over, he used one hand to hold himself up while the other was pushed between her legs. His fingers traced a scalding path along the inside of her thighs. Moving up, he let them dance lightly across the shimmering platinum hair that dusted her pussy.
“Beautiful.”
She whimpered and that was all it took.
He reached down and pulled her legs high, hooking them over his shoulders until her ass rested against his belly with her nether lips exposed to him. She opened her body, her mind to him, holding nothing back. She slid her hands up and down his arms, marveling at their warmth. For an instant Viv saw his soul shining through his emerald eyes and the look touched her in a place she’d never let anyone explore. Her cold, dead heart grew warm and she was sure it was Alek’s blood that pulsed through the chambers. She’d had such a small taste, wanted so much more. Then he leaned over, blew warm air across her already wet, swollen clit. His arms hooked around her thighs and brought her pussy up to his mouth. When his tongue touched her, she screamed. He licked the drops of moisture gathered in every fold. Long sure strokes set her on fire and she bucked up against his face shamelessly. Right now, in this moment, he owned her, could do anything he wanted and she’d love it.
