Born to Darkness Box Set

  “You wouldn’t!” Corbin growled.

  “Oh, but I would. And then everything you have built will be burned to the ground. Everyone you ever cared for, every underling both human or vampire who depends on you, will be taken. And I will not be gentle with them, Corbin. I promise you that.”

  “You son of a bitch,” Corbin said thickly. “You may kill me in challenge but I swear I will take you with me. I will—”

  “We’ll do it,” I heard myself saying.

  Corbin turned to me, a look of disbelief in his eyes. “Addison, no! You don’t have to agree to this.”

  “Yes, I do,” I said grimly. “I don’t want you in a fight to the death over my honor. And I don’t want Taylor and everyone else who depends on you getting dragged off as slaves to wherever the court is just because I’m afraid to…to be seen doing, uh, doing what we do.”

  “But—”

  “You seem to be at odds with each other,” Roderick remarked. “And all over my simple request that you prove she truly is your consort, Corbin.”

  “I said we’ll do it,” I said, glaring at the Inquisitor. “We just need a little time to prepare.”

  “Very well.” Roderick nodded. “I will be happy to step outside for a few minutes. But don’t take too long or I may decide to break someone else.” He gave Corbin an evil grin and stepped out of the office, closing the door behind him.

  When the Inquisitor was gone, Corbin let out a breath and looked at me for a long time.

  “Addison,” he said at last, very quietly. “Are you sure?”

  “Yes.” I nodded, hoping he couldn’t hear how hard my heart was pounding. “I’ve trusted you twice and gotten away with it, Corbin. Here’s hoping that three is my lucky number.”

  “I won’t hurt you,” he promised fiercely. “I swear it, darling.” He started to take me in his arms but I stepped back.

  “There’s something you should know, though,” I said, holding out a hand to stop him. “This doesn’t change anything between us. This will be the one and only time we do this and afterward, we’re still going our separate ways, just like we agreed. I can’t give up my life for you, Corbin—I can’t.”

  His eyes hardened. “I see. So you’re only doing this from a sense of obligation…of duty.”

  “I’m doing it to save all our lives,” I said evenly. “I just don’t want there to be any misunderstanding about it. I’m sorry, Corbin. I can give you my body, but not my heart.”

  He sighed. “My darling, it was your heart I wanted all along. But I guess I am never to have it.”

  “No,” I whispered, my throat suddenly tight. “No, I’m afraid not.”

  “Very well.” He nodded. “Then perhaps you would prefer to keep this little…encounter impersonal.”

  “What do you mean?” I asked.

  “I mean I can take you from behind.” He stroked my cheek and my breath suddenly seemed to come short. “That way you don’t have to look me in the eyes as I fill your sweet pussy.”

  “Oh…” I whispered, overcome with a strange combination of lust and regret. “Yes, I…I guess that would be all right.”

  Corbin nodded. “Well then…” He went to his desk and picked up the phone.

  “What are you doing? Who are you calling?” I asked.

  He looked up. “I’m going to get one of the human barmaids in here. I need to satiate my thirst for blood before I take you, Addison. I want this encounter between us to be as safe as possible.”

  “Wait,” I said, before he could hit the buttons. “Wait, I…”

  Corbin frowned and lowered the phone. “Have you changed your mind? If so then I must prepare to fight.”

  “No, nothing like that. I just…” I bit my lip. “I just…I don’t like the idea of you, uh, drinking from anyone but me. Especially not when we’re about to, uh, have sex.”

  “Make love,” Corbin corrected me gently. We looked at each other for a long moment and then he nodded. “Very well. It’s a good idea, actually—biting you will get your body ready to receive me.”

  I remembered the whipcrack orgasm that had gone through me when he bit my thigh and shivered.

  “Why is that, exactly? How can you make it feel so good?”

  “Part of it is the fact that I am injecting you with my essence when I bite,” Corbin murmured. He put down the phone and came around the desk to stand in front of me. “And part of it is simply the way your body reacts to mine. You want me, Addison—almost as badly as I want you.”

  “Yes, all right,” I whispered, reaching up to put my arms around his neck. “I guess I can admit that. I shouldn’t but I do—I want you, Corbin. I want this.”

  “I want it too,” he murmured. “Will you bare your neck for me, darling?”

  I pushed my hair out of the way and tilted my chin to the side, offering him my vein. We were in a hurry and I was sure he would simply drive his long, sharp fangs right into my tender flesh. Instead, he kissed me.

  “Oh…” I almost moaned when I felt his mouth, gentle and insistent against the sensitive skin of my throat.

  “Darling,” Corbin murmured as he continued to press hot, opened mouthed kisses up and down the column of my neck. “Your scent is so sweet, so intoxicating. Are you getting ready for me? Ready to have my cock deep in your pussy?”

  As he spoke, one large hand stroked over my breasts, making my nipples harden instantly, and traveled down to the spot between my thighs.

  “Corbin…” I moaned, shifting against him as I felt him press inward, rubbing my pussy through the material of my dress and panties. God, I knew I shouldn’t want this—shouldn’t be this hot for him, especially since he hadn’t even bitten me yet. And yet, I couldn’t help it. Even knowing that what we were about to do was highly illegal and incredibly dangerous couldn’t stop me from wanting him.

  “I’m going to bite you, darling,” he murmured, still rubbing me gently with those long, strong fingers. “But first I want you to let me in. I want to feel your sweet pussy getting wet and hot for me while I drink from you.”

  I knew it was dangerous. We were getting the blood and the sex part of our encounter, as Corbin called it, mixed up when we should be keeping them separate. But again I couldn’t deny him.

  “All right,” I whispered, parting my legs. I felt Corbin raise my dress and then his big, warm hand was in my panties, cupping my pussy possessively.

  “So hot,” he murmured, his fingers rubbing me gently in a slow, sensual massage. “Are you wet for me too, Addison?”

  “Find out for yourself,” I whispered breathlessly. I didn’t know where I got the nerve but somehow I couldn’t help myself.

  “With pleasure,” he murmured. I felt his fingers parting my outer lips and moaned helplessly as they slid deep inside me. And at the same time his fangs pierced my throat.

  I cried out as the sudden orgasm flashed through me, making me tighten around his invading fingers as he sucked greedily from my neck. The sensations were too much—a complete overload and yet somehow I couldn’t get enough. At that moment I wanted nothing more than to be his—his completely.

  I don’t know how long Corbin drank or how often I came. I only know I was shaking and weak-kneed by the time he withdrew his fangs from my neck and his fingers from my pussy.

  “Delicious,” he murmured, sucking his fingers clean. “I wish I had time to taste your pussy, my darling, but I’m afraid it’s time for other things now.” Slowly, he turned me to face the desk. “It’s time for me to take you.”

  “Shouldn’t…shouldn’t we wait for…for…” I knew it was strange but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember what we were waiting for.

  “It’s all right,” Corbin assured me. I felt him pressing me down over the desk. It had been cleared of all paperwork and the glass and teak top felt cool against my flushed skin. And then he was raising my skirt and pulling down my panties.

  “God!” I moaned as I felt the soft breeze caress my naked pussy.

&nbs
p; Corbin’s hands went to my hips and tightened, holding me still.

  “Carefully, Addison,” he said, his deep voice sounding slightly strained. “I need you to hold perfectly still for me now. Don’t move—don’t rouse my instincts.”

  I froze, understanding what he was saying at once. Part of the reason a vampire is so likely to kill his or her human lover is that the thrashing around people do during lovemaking rouses the predator part of them. Corbin was asking me to hold perfectly still so that he could make love to me without letting that part of himself out of the cage. Without breaking me.

  “Okay,” I whispered. “I…I won’t move.”

  “You don’t need to fear me, darling,” he murmured, though his deep voice still sounded rough. “Just relax and let yourself open for me.”

  I did the best I could but I couldn’t help feeling incredibly helpless, spread out as I was on the desk with my skirt pulled up and my panties pulled down. I had a quick moment to remember exactly how big Corbin’s shaft was and how long it had been since I had actually had sex. But before I could really start panicking, I felt the broad head of his cock rubbing against my swollen clit and my pleasure started to build again.

  I was filled with a mixture of lust and disbelief. God, how could he do this to me? How could he make me so hot so fast? How could he make me need him so much that I wanted to feel him in me more than I wanted my next breath? And yet, I couldn’t help it—that was exactly how I felt as Corbin began the long, slow slide of his cock deep in my pussy.

  He was so thick I could feel myself stretching around him—not in a painful way but I was definitely going to feel it later. I would be sore and know it was from him—for some reason, I found I liked the idea. A reminder of the one and only time we would ever be together—providing I survived, of course. When I finally felt the broad, mushroom shaped head touch bottom inside me, I moaned aloud, unable to help myself.

  Corbin held perfectly still at once. “Are you all right, Addison? Did I hurt you?”

  “N-no,” I whispered, shaking my head. “It just, well…it felt good. Amazing. That’s all.” I couldn’t help blushing as I said it but I didn’t want him to think he was hurting me.

  “That’s good, darling—very good. It speaks well of your sensitivity and responsiveness. You have the tightest, most lovely little pussy.”

  “Thank you,” I said, turning my head to look at him. I was reassured to see that his eyes were still their normal silvery-blue. That seemed to be a good indicator that he was keeping control, just as he had when he went down on me.

  “Corbin, please,” I said hoarsely. “This is nice but…but I need more.”

  “And you’ll have more, darling.” Leaning over, he captured my mouth with his, one long fingered hand curling around my throat to hold me in place as he kissed me. After a long, demanding kiss in which he explored me very thoroughly, he turned me back toward the desk gently but firmly. I felt his hands slide down to my hips and take a firm grip. Then he pulled back and began to really pound into me.

  I gasped as a mixture of pleasure and pain shot through me. God, he was so thick! I could feel him stretching my inner walls with each hard thrust, could feel the blunt head of his cock pressing against the mouth of my womb with every deep stroke. My breasts swayed with each thrust and I could barely breathe from the intense pleasure he was building inside me.

  “Oh,” I gasped. “Oh, Corbin! Oh, please…”

  “That’s right, darling,” he growled softly. “Take it all. Open your sweet little cunt and take all of my cock.”

  More than anything at that moment, I wanted to obey him. “Yes, Corbin,” I moaned, lowering my head and spreading my thighs wider. “Yes, Master, please.”

  The pounding seemed to go on forever—I had never been so thoroughly fucked in my life. At last I felt my pleasure spiking. Somehow I knew the orgasm that was coming now was deeper and more intense than the ones I had gotten when he bit me. Wave after wave of sensation rolled through me, sending me closer and closer to the edge. Though I had done a good job of holding still and submitting to his fucking up until then, I simply couldn’t help myself—I had to move.

  “Corbin,” I moaned, pumping my hips in time to his rhythm, trying to reach that elusive peak. “God, I’m close…so close.”

  “Hold still!” For a moment his deep voice sounded almost panicked—more animal than human—and his grip on my hips tightened until I knew I would have ten finger-and thumb-shaped bruises there the next day.

  “I’m sorry!” I gasped. I tried to hold still but the orgasm was still coming, barreling down on me like a freight train with no brakes. My body kept trembling as it built inside me, threatening to drown me with its intensity.

  “It’s all right, darling.” Corbin sounded more in control now, though his voice was still hoarse with the effort of holding himself back. “It’s all right.”

  “I’m…trying not to move,” I told him, my voice shaking. “It’s just…I’m so close and I need…I need…”

  “I know what you need,” he growled. “Just hold still and I’ll take you where you need to go.”

  One of his hands slipped from my hip around to stroke the place where we were joined. I moaned breathlessly as I felt his long fingers spread my folds and rub my swollen clit in just the right way.

  And just like that, the orgasm was on me, rolling over me like a tidal wave, drenching me with pleasure as I came yet again. At the same time, I felt Corbin speeding up.

  “I’m going to come in you now, Addison,” he told me in a low, growling voice. “Going to fill your sweet pussy with my seed. I want you to see what it feels like to be filled with my cum.”

  “Yes, Corbin,” I moaned. “Yes, Master. God, yes.” And then I felt his thick cock swelling even larger inside me. With a harsh growl, Corbin gripped my hips even harder and pushed his shaft as deeply into me as he could. And then he began to come.

  I cried out softly and shuddered helplessly as jet after jet of hot cum spurted from the tip of his cock and bathed the mouth of my womb. I had never felt this with a human man—not even my fiancé when we were together. But with Corbin I felt it—actually felt him filling me with his seed as he came inside me.

  And then it was suddenly over and he was pulling out of me.

  “Corbin?” I turned to face him, feeling suddenly bereft and empty without his thickness filling me. What I saw, shocked me.

  His eyes were blood red and his fangs were longer and looked sharper than I had ever seen them. God, no wonder he’d wanted to take me from behind! If I’d seen him looking like that while we were making love I would have freaked out for sure.

  “Uh, Corbin?” I backed away from him slowly, not wanting to make any sudden motions and make it worse.

  “Just a moment, darling. Stand back, please.” He took a deep breath and then another. “God, your scent is so sweet. So delicious…”

  “You’ve already had my blood for tonight,” I reminded him sharply. “Quite a lot of it, in fact. You don’t need the rest.”

  “No. No I don’t.” He took another deep breath and slowly his eyes went back to normal. “All right. I’m all right,” he said, nodding at me.

  I looked at him uncertainly. “Are you sure?”

  “Perfectly fine,” he assured me and this time he sounded much more like himself.

  I breathed a sigh of relief—once again I had dodged a bullet. But how long could my luck last?

  “Well, well—most impressive,” Roderick said from the couch at the far end of the room.

  I jumped at the sound and hastily smoothed down my dress. For some reason I had completely forgotten about him watching and the entire reason we were doing this. I shot a glance at Corbin—had he glamoured me somehow? Kept me from remembering while we were actually doing the deed so I wouldn’t feel inhibited or uptight? Or had my mind simply blocked the whole “we are being watched by a very creepy Vampire Inquisitor” thing out of my head on its own?

  I d
idn’t have time to ask because Roderick stood smoothly and came toward us. He looked at Corbin and smiled, then looked at me and bared his fangs.

  “My turn,” he said.

  Chapter Eighteen

  “What did you say?” Corbin growled, putting himself between us at the speed of light. My view of Roderick was now limited by his broad shoulder—not that I minded.

  “You heard me.” Roderick smiled, baring his fangs. “I found your little show most amusing and not a little arousing. It was so moving, in fact, that I would like a turn. So step aside, Corbin—let me see if I can fuck your little human as well as you did.”

  “Now you’re just trying to pick a fight,” Corbin said. “You know damn well I won’t let you anywhere near Addison—she is mine.”

  “You’re lucky I’m only asking for a turn to fuck her,” Roderick remarked coolly. “After all, as she is not bound to you, it is within my rights to choose her as my tribute instead of that lovely vase. In fact…” He looked thoughtfully at the vase which he had left on a chair beside the desk. “I think that’s exactly what I’ll do. You can have the vase back, Corbin. I will be taking the girl.”

  “I’ll die before I let you take her.” Corbin’s voice was utterly deadly and utterly cold. “You know that, Roderick.”

  “Well, then, I guess we’ll have to revisit the idea of a formal challenge after all.” Roderick’s eyes were suddenly blood red and from the deep, angry snarl rising in Corbin’s throat I was certain his were too.

  “You bastard,” I said, speaking to Roderick under Corbin’s arm. “You planned this all along. Why make us put on a show for you if you were just going to fight Corbin anyway?”

  “Because, my dear…” He grinned at me nastily. “I so enjoyed your submission the other night that I wanted to see it again. When you are mine, I will force you to do all sorts of deliciously humiliating things—acts that will make you cringe with shame and beg for the release that only death can give.” He licked his lips in anticipation. “But I will not kill you…not for a long, long time. Oh, I simply cannot wait to have you.”
