I let him explore my mouth. The familiarity of it was something I had missed too.
Kellen knew how to kiss me. He understood what it took to build me up until I couldn’t think of anything except being consumed by his body.
After a swirl with his tongue, he slowly backed away and opened his eyes just an inch away from my face. “You may keep a consort,” he said gently.
I laughed quietly at the word. I doubted Chase would appreciate being declared a consort. I’d known many vampires who did keep one or two around. Some were humans they had grown comfortable with, some lovers they just considered meals.
As much as I doubted Chase would agree to this, it surprised me even more that Kellen would offer such a thing. “That wouldn’t bother you?”
Kellen arched an equivocal brow as arrogance flashed through his eyes. “Am I threatened by a mortal, is that what you ask?”
“Knowing that I love him?” I wasn’t sure what his take would be on this. He was never partial to me having mortal lovers. He had them himself. Centuries of being alive called to stir up the sheets on occasion and I knew he wouldn’t object to my being with Chase. It was the feelings I gained for him that caused me to question if Kellen would be willing to accept.
He ran his fingers gingerly up my arm and it tickled all across my skin. His fangs had released from his gums and showed his mind was not on this conversation and instead on my body being so close to his. “Your heart has the ability to love many, I know that of you. If it pleases you to share time with this mortal then why would I object to that?”
With those few words, I understood why this wouldn’t bother him. Chase was a mortal. It wasn’t eternal. If it was, I doubted Kellen would be so tolerant. But before I could respond, he grabbed me by the arms and yanked me over the gear shift and onto his lap as he began to lavish my mouth with his talented kisses.
Nothing in me would refuse him. Hearing those words pour from his mouth filled my heart immensely and to be reunited with him burned in my body. I squirmed against him, rubbed against his hard erection, which caused Kellen to growl in response. He reached forward and pulled on my jacket.
His vampire strength was no match against the cotton suit. Quickly, the coat was shredded around me.
As he placed his mouth on my neck, I angled my head back and moaned at the familiarity of it.
He knew every spot on me that increased my pleasure. He didn’t miss a single spot now. He licked his way along my neck while his fangs trailed in its wake and sent an edge of pure desire through me.
I knew what he wanted, what he craved. I angled my head slightly to the side to allow him the right and he immediately nudged it further with his forehead. His breath grew raspy, and with a final lick, he sank his fangs deep into my neck.
My breath rushed out at the initial intrusion, then changed entirely. I felt like I was reborn. I began to grind against him harder, swirled my h*ps so that his c*ck could connect with my body. He groaned deeply as he greedily drank from my neck and soon I was spiralling in glorious sensual gratification. It’d been so long since anyone fed from me—too long.
After a long, hard pull on my blood, he licked my throat to close the penetration marks and I shuddered above him. He drew away, met my gaze and retracted his fangs as a dribble of blood rested on his bottom lip. I leaned forward and with a slow long lick, I lapped it up. His eyes flared to burn red-hot.
“I cannot wait any longer,” he growled. “I need to see you.”
He grabbed onto my shirt, moments away from tearing it to shreds when I latched onto his hands and stopped him. “I need this shirt.” I meant to sound firm but it came out as a soft purr.
“Then off with it.”
I kept my gaze focused on his while I unbuttoned my shirt slowly, punishing him. I enjoyed it—took pleasure in watching the burn that lay in his eyes. He might have had lovers since me, but no one could do what I did for him. And by his throbbing c*ck resting against me, I was assuming correctly.
By the time I was in my bra, he had already thrown me back over to my seat. His pants were off and he’d made quick work of mine.
The movement took me by surprise. I was so used to being around mortals that I hadn’t used that talent in well over twenty-eight years. The thrill of being with a vampire again consumed me.
Luckily, his need matched mine. Once my pants were gone, he raised my ass onto the console of the car, knelt between my thighs and plunged himself deep inside my slick opening. I arched at the spectacular feel of it. Kellen was a forceful lover. There was nothing gentle about him and the vampire aggression was something I had missed. The speed, the roughness, it was what made me a vampire. I craved this, even if I didn’t know it.
He pulled out of my body and then thrust back with enough force that I couldn’t withhold the scream that rose from my throat.
“More,” Kellen’s voice came out husky. “Let me hear more of you.” He thrust back in hard, again and again.
I didn’t disappoint him. With only a few hard thrusts, I propelled into orgasm. Before I could even recover, Kellen roared, “Again.” He came at me with even more force and quickened thrusts.
I screamed from the strength of each pound against me. My entire body was on the brink of something fantastic and when Kellen grabbed me in his arms to straddle him, took my h*ps and rocked me against him, I was completely lost.
The control over myself was gone. The strength that he possessed made me his puppet. He moved my body forcefully to get each other off and I teetered on the edge. I leaned my head down onto his shoulder as he continued to lift me above him then slam me back down. His moans became deeper and I could feel his c*ck growing harder and wider.
It was an instant demand of me and I was not opposed to it. As he sent me slamming back down against him, my restraint broke and I could only grasp his shoulders in an attempt to hold off a moment longer.
I let my fangs release from my gums then sank them into his warm neck. My mouth immediately filled with warm powerful vampire blood as he roughly thrust against me.
He groaned as I succumbed and allowed my orgasm to engulf me. My pu**y clenched around him, urged him to come. His body grew with tension as I continued to draw blood from his body. Then, he worked harder. If I could have bruised, I would have. He grasped me around the waist hard and made an enemy of my body.
A second later, we both fell apart in a roar of completion.
When the sensations subsided, we were silent, unable to move. But when the warm taste of his blood dripped on my tongue, sense returned. I slowly licked the wounds on his neck to close them, then kissed the spot where I had my feast.
Kellen wrapped his arms around me, hugged me tight and I found myself sinking against him. I loved this man. How selfish I had been for leaving him. Now I questioned how I ever felt unhappy with him. He had been so patient with me, only wanted me to be happy. I had been wrong and would make up for that.
He pulled my head away from his chest then moved his hand along my cheek as he held my gaze steady. “I have missed you every moment you have been gone.”
I leaned into his hand, my eyes blinking slowly as wetness began to rim them. “Me too.”
His eyes filled with happiness as a sweet smile spread across his face. “Now that sounds better.”
I had to force myself to remain locked in his gaze. Shame began to cripple me. Tears of blood welled up in my eyes—yes we really cried, even if it is blood. “I’m sorry…”
He placed a finger on my lips, hushed my words. “No apologies. You needed the time to discover more of yourself.”
“But…” I started as a bloody tear escaped.
He shook his head, wiped the tear away with the tip of his finger. “I do not hold it against you.”
Then, he placed his finger in his mouth.
What man would allow their woman to go off and experience life without them?
Vampires weren’t known to be kind in nature. They were territorial and fiercely so. But as I racked my brain, the answer became clear—only a good man would allow such a thing. I gulped deeply, sickened. “I don’t deserve you.”
The night I left, he was heartbroken and I knew walking away from something good was selfish, but at the time, I chose not to care. Now here he was, arms wide open and welcomed me back without any explanation.
He rubbed another tear away from my cheek. “It is not important who deserves whom; it’s that we are bound. My life is yours as yours is mine.”
Okay, all that made sense, but that didn’t change the fact of how I felt right now. “I have been stupid.”
“You have never been that.” He gave me a chastising look, but softened when he said, “But now you know.”
I sniffed. “Know what?”
“Where you belong—where you’ve always belonged.”
A smile rose to my face at the truth of those words and leaned forward, but before I met his mouth, said, “Yes, I know.” After a slow endearing kiss, I backed away to see that Kellen looked pleased and content. I laughed and sniffed away the rest of my shame.
“You happy to finally hear that?”
His smile vanished as he nodded firmly. “Let me make this clear, I gave you leave once so you could discover this in your own time.” He grasped my face with an equal firmness. “I will not allow it again.”
