“Are you horny, baby?” I ask with a smirk on my face.
“You have no idea,” her voice is rough and deep.
“I think I do. It’s the same as I’ve always felt when I’m around you,” I murmur against her lips before taking hold of them with mine. Her hand goes to the back of my head, holding me captive. She whimpers against them. She opens her mouth for my tongue to enter. My tongue lightly touching her fangs in her mouth, and she moans roughly in her throat. I release her mouth, looking down at her lips which are now plump from our kiss. I want to bite that lip like there’s no tomorrow.
“God, you're gorgeous,” I whisper in awe, staring down at her.
She smiles up at me while biting her lip.
“Are we going to get naked or?” she says teasingly.
I release a soft growl. “Oh, we’re going to be getting naked. I was getting there,” I tease her back a little, knowing she’s aching for me.
“Well, you’re too slow,” she says.
She pushes me away and flips me on my back. She tears my shirt off my body. She looks up at me wickedly before ridding me of my shorts. She backs away and takes off her clothes quickly and jumps on me. Her pussy so close to my cock, I groan heavily.
“Are you ready to get the ride of your life, mate?” Tori purrs.
I can’t seem to find my voice. I nod my head repeatedly while she chuckles. My cock is harder than ever before, seeing her take charge like this. She reaches between us and grabs a hold of me, causing my cock to jump in her hand from the cold sensation coming from it. Damn!
A growl works its way from my throat and her eyes dilate. She lines my cock up at her entrance and slowly moves down over it. I groan while she moans, her head tilts back as she takes in the sensation.
“Oh my God!” she moans, putting her hand on my chest. “It feels so much different now,” she grunts, lifting and slamming back down.
I grit my teeth as she bounces up and down on my cock. My hands move to her hips, taking what she’s giving me. She’s like a wild animal above me. Hissing and growling as she works herself towards her release. I reach up and grab her breasts in both hands, she moans and rides me faster. The speed of her working me is insane. I pinch her nipples between my fingers and she screams with pleasure.
“Fuck,” she snarls, her jaw tight with need. “Can I mark you?” she asks roughly.
“Mark me,” I growl, overwhelmed with the need to feel her fangs on my skin.
The first time we mated, she didn’t mark me. She couldn’t, but now she can and I’m more than willing to let her sink her teeth into me. I want to feel her fangs pierce through, marking me as hers.
I lift into a seated position as she continues to ride me. “Mark me, baby. I can feel how close you are,” I grunt, feeling her walls tightening up.
She leans her head down, her lips placing a kiss at the base of my neck. A shiver runs through me and before I know it, she stinks her fangs into my neck. She groans against my neck, cumming around my cock as she drinks from me. My cock jerks and I moan loudly as I cum inside of her. She releases my neck and licks the wound.
We’re both breathing roughly.
“Damn,” I mutter and Tori chuckles.
“That was amazing,” she whispers before kissing my cheek. I give her a lazy smile and she returns it with one of her own before leaning off of me and lying down beside me on the bed.
She can say that again, the feeling of her marking me was unreal. I had no idea that was how it was going to feel. My eyes wanted to roll into the back of my head because it felt so amazing, so intense.
We’re both lying there relaxing, my fingers running over her arm as she rests her head on my chest. “I’m glad you're here,” I say, choked up from almost losing her.
“I am, too,” she whispers.
I know something is bugging her. “What’s wrong, baby?” I ask, curious to see what’s bothering my mate.
She releases a sigh. “I’m going to miss the sunlight.”
I nod and kiss the top of her head.
“I’m sorry,” I whisper.
“It’s not your fault. Why are you sorry?” she asks, lifting her head to look at me. She has a tiny frown on her face.
I sigh heavily. “Because if I was here to protect you... this would have never happened. Steve wouldn’t have been able to get a hold of you,” I mutter.
She lifts her body some and gives me a stern glare. “Don’t do that. Don’t do the what ifs,” she whispers, heartbroken. “I don’t want you to beat yourself up about it. Please, let’s just forget about it. I’ll survive without the sunlight. Just as long as I have you,” she says truthfully.
I don’t know how long we’ve been in this room but we need to head downstairs in a few minutes. I’m starving and I’m sure Samuel left some blood bags for Tori if she gets hungry. “Ready to head downstairs and get something to eat?” I wince after the words leave my mouth.
Tori smirks at me. “Sure. I can go for something right about now.”
I chuckle, shaking my head.
We head downstairs, Tori walking in front of me. She stops short and I almost plow into her. “What’s wrong?” I mutter.
She gasps before saying anything. “Mom? Dad?” she whispers.
My head snaps up to look at the front door and there her parents stand.
Seeing my parents standing there puts me in a state of shock. I’m sure if I am imagining them or what. My mother gasps and starts to cry as I move closer. My eyes blur with tears. I wrap my arms around my mother and she sobs uncontrollably.
“My baby. You're okay.” My mother sobs against me.
I sniffle and hold her tighter but try to hold back some, so I don’t end up breaking her. “I’m okay,” I whisper back.
My mother lets go of me and my father gives me a teary-eyed smile. “Baby girl, we were so worried,” he says, hugging me.
“I’m sorry,” I whisper. Disappointed that I caused them so much grief in worrying.
My mother huffs.
“Don’t you dare think this is your fault. That little prick, Steve, took you. You didn’t go with him willingly. He kidnapped you,” she says, her tone showing how pissed off she is.
I nod my head.
My father looks up at Ryan and nods. My mother smiles at my mate.
“Oh, Mom, Dad, this is my mate, Ryan.”
“Oh, he’s handsome, isn’t he, Bryan?” my mother says to my father.
My father looks down at my mother and she giggles.
Dad sticks out his hand and Ryan comes forward, taking my fathers hand and shaking it. “Nice to meet you, Ryan.” my father says.
“Nice to meet you, too, sir.”
My father waves his hand. “Don’t call me sir, it makes me feel old. Just call me Bryan.”
Ryan nods.
“Did you both just get in?” I ask.
My father gives a firm nod.
“We just got here. Knocked on the door, but there was no answer so we ended up letting ourselves in. I hope that was okay.”
Ryan nods. “That’s more than okay. I’m surprised we didn’t hear you.”
“How about we go sit in the living room? Would you both like something to drink?” Ryan asks my parents.
They both decline with a shake of their heads but mumble a thank you.
Ryan just finished explaining what happened to me while Steve held me captive to my parents. My father is fuming while my mother looks like she’s ready to murder someone. She’s never looked like this before and it’s kind of scary to be honest.
My mother looks over at me. She bites her lip. “So, you're a vampire now?”
I stiffen, unsure what she’s going to think or say. I nod my head. “Yes, the only way I was able to survive what Steve had done to me was to be turned,” I reply with my head down. Worried they’ll think less of me now.
“Oh, sweetheart. I’m just glad you're here. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you were taken from this world.” M
y mother sniffles, “You might be a vampire now, but you’re still my daughter and nothing’s going to change that.”
“Thank you, mom,” I croak.
Ryan rubs my back with his hand, knowing how hard it is for me to hear those words come from my mother's mouth. She accepts me as a vampire. My mother looks like she wants to say something, she opens her mouth but then closes it. I look at Ryan before turning my eyes back to my mother.
“What is it?” I ask, curious to see what she was going to say.
My mother shifts on the couch. “Well, are you able to… you know… have babies like this?” she asks.
My eyes widen. I’m unsure how to answer. I don’t know much about being a vampire. I don’t know if we can. I look at Ryan and he can see the panic in my eyes. Just then Samuel comes rushing in with Caleb and Elizabeth in tow.
My mother’s head snaps up to see who it is and she gasps. “Oh Elizabeth, your glowing,” my mother mentions, getting off the couch to walk over to Elizabeth. She gives Elizabeth a hug and then puts her hand on her stomach.
Samuel comes over to me with a concerned look on his face. “What’s wrong?” he asks.
“Umm, my mother asked me a question and I wasn’t sure what the answer was,” I mutter.
Ryan shifts a little beside me, taking my hand in his. “She was asked if babies were possible for us.”
Samuel releases a sigh before placing a smile on his face. “Of course, you're both true mates. She might be a vampire now, but she’ll be able to carry your young. You don’t have nothing to worry about, Tori.”
I nod my head, grateful that I’ll still be able to have Ryan’s babies.
My mother comes closer to us. “Did I just hear that I can have grandbabies?” she asks, her eyes glossy.
“Yes.” I nod my head and chuckle happily.
My mother squeals and claps her hands together.
“That’s amazing news, isn’t it Bryan? We’ll have grandbabies before you know it,” my mother mentions excitedly while jumping up and down.
“Yes, that’s great news,” my father replies.
Flashes of me being pregnant with Ryan’s child comes to mind and a smile breaks out over my face.
Chapter Twelve
Tori’s parents are staying near by in an empty cabin. My mate is thrilled to have her parents so close. She needs them more than she thinks. When she saw them yesterday, it was clear as day that she needs them in her life.
When I woke up this morning and came downstairs, my father mentioned that Issac has some news he would like to share about Steve. I wonder what it could be.
Now, I’m waiting outside with my father and Caleb for the bears to show up.
“What do you think they found?” Caleb asks my father.
My father shrugs. “I have no idea what they could’ve found.”
A truck pulls up in the driveway. Issac steps out with a female bear and another male. I have to suppress a growl because the female is the one that’s causing troubles for Kelly right now. The bitch keeps throwing around the fact that Issac doesn’t need a weak mate, that’s why he’ll be mating with her instead of Kelly.
Issac comes walking over to us. “Darren,” he says with a nod of his head.
“Issac,” my father replies. “Let’s go to my office, and then you can let us know what you found.” He nods and follows my father inside. The female glares at both my brother and me.
I release a snort.
“If they are here for a while and the sun goes down some and Tori gets up, I have a feeling I’ll have a hard time keeping her away from the she-bear,” I mumble.
Caleb laughs. “Oh, I know the feeling. Elizabeth tries, but with her being pregnant she won’t chance it. She’s counting down the days to get her hands around that bears neck.”
I snicker about my sister-law-in. I can see her doing something like that.
Finally, we’re all standing in my father’s office and Caleb closes the door while my father takes a seat behind his desk. Issac stands in front of it before taking a seat, and the she-bear takes the seat beside him. The other male stands behind him.
My father is the first to speak. “So, what news do you have to share?”
Issac pulls a cell-phone out of his pocket and places it on the desk. My father looks down at it with a frown. “This is Steve’s cell phone? What did you find on it?” my father demands.
“We found a number that was called regularly from it. I decided to call it to see who answered,” the bear mentions, his voice gruff. “From the other line, a woman answered. Saying something about a magic shop. I think he was talking with witches. That’s probably why Caleb’s mate couldn’t scent Steve being a wolf.” My brother lightly growls at the mention of his mate.
My father gives Caleb a stern glare and he stops. My father looks at Issac and nods his head for him to continue.
“I think he asked the witch to mix something up for him to lose his scent. I think it might be something to consider looking into more,” Issac mentions.
My father gives a firm nod.
“I agree. We don’t want witches going around making potions left and right for shifters.” My father pauses for a second to think, “We’ll find out where they are located and we’ll go in three weeks from now.”
Issac nods and stands up, the female following his movement. They turn and leave the office. I look at my brother, then my father.
“Witches were helping Steve? I don’t understand. I thought witches didn’t meddle in the affairs of shifters?” I growl, pissed that we have another issue to deal with.
My brother shrugs. “I don’t know why she was helping him, but we’ll find out,” he replies.
“Don’t worry, son, we’ll get to the bottom of this,” my father mentions.
I nod my head, hoping we’ll find out, too.
“Well, I better get back home to Elizabeth,” Caleb mentions, walking out of the room and leaving me alone, lost in my thoughts.
Witches, I can’t believe it. Seems like we find out something new everyday. I shake my head. “I’m going to check on Tori,” I mumble before exiting the office.
My head hurts from the overload of information. I want nothing more than to shift and find this witch for causing harm to my mate. She might not have abused her, but she had a hand in it with making Steve that potion.
After leaving my father’s office, I went back upstairs to my room where I left Tori resting earlier. Once I made it inside the room, she pounced on me. We were naked and sweating within a matter of seconds. God, she has an appetite for sex now. I’m not complaining one bit, I love this new side of her.
We’re just getting dressed after our tumble in the sac when her phone pings, and she looks down at it with a grin, typing back to whoever it is. After she’s done, her head pops up.
“That was just Kelly, asking if I want to head to the bar later,” she whispers.
Is she ready to be around a whole bunch of people so soon? “You think you're up for that?” I question.
She nods. “I think I am. I can’t stay cooped up in this house. I’m going to go stir crazy.”
I get what she means. We haven’t really left my room much, let alone the house, since she’d been turned. It might do her some good to get out. “Elizabeth isn’t going, is she?” I ask, knowing my brother wouldn’t like the idea of her being there while she’s pregnant. Shifters can get a little rowdy sometimes.
Tori bites her lip. “I think she’s going, but I’ll be there and so will Kelly. She’ll be fine. We’re just going to sit and relax and catch up,” she mentions.
Wrapping my arms around her, I place my head between her neck and shoulder. My lips lightly touching the base of her neck. “I’m sure you guys will have a nice night,” I mutter before turning her around and claiming her lips with my own. She groans against my mouth.
“Ryan,” she whines. “I need to get ready,” she says.
I pout and she chuckles. I kiss her lips once more befor
e moving away from her. “I guess I’ll see what Caleb is up to. I love you,” I say sincerely. She smiles at me.
“I love you, too,” she whispers.
Chapter Thirteen
I’m sitting down at a round table in the bar with Kelly and Elizabeth. I’m surprised to say that Elizabeth is out and with us. I was sure Caleb and Samuel would’ve tied her ass up to something so she wouldn’t be able to come.
I snicker at the thought.
“What are you laughing about over there?” Elizabeth asks, glaring at me like she knows.
“Oh, nothing,” I say quickly. She sticks the finger up at me and Kelly chuckles underneath her hand. Kelly might have had a few shots so far tonight, but it’s not affecting her much yet. Shifters and vampires can put back the drinks, and it takes a lot for us to start to feel the effects of the alcohol.
Elizabeth takes a sip of her water while still glaring at me. I chuckle, shaking my head. I turn to Kelly, who is sipping her beer. “So, how’s things going with you and Noah?”
She puts her bottle down and gives a smile. “Things are going good,” she says softly.
“That’s good. Have you both talked about mating?” I ask, curious.
She fidgets on her chair. “Umm, we have and I guess we’re going to go ahead and do it. Noah doesn’t have a mate and you know about mine,” she mutters.
I feel for her, I really do. Her stupid asshole of a mate needs to be whacked upside the head. I nod giving her a faint smile. Elizabeth looks like she’s ready to spit. I look at her with a frown and turn around to notice what the hell she’s looking at. The frown turns into a snarl.
Issac and that stupid fucking she-bear just walked in, together I might add.
Kelly looks over at them both and frowns.
“Do you want to leave?” Elizabeth asks Kelly.
Kelly shakes her head. “I can’t just leave every time they show up somewhere. I’m not going to stop living because of them. I’m done with the whole thing anyways. I have someone who makes me happy and who cares deeply for me.”
