Callie's Blood Mates [Blood Exchange 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Becca Van

  “No.” Callie tugged her hand, trying to get free from Dex’s hold but he didn’t release her. Instead, Dex gently gripped her chin and turned her head until she was looking into his eyes.

  “We knew the moment we saw you on the street last night that you were ours. Your scent called to us. Your inner beauty radiated out from within. We want to be with you, mate.” Dex brought her hand to his mouth and kissed the back of it.

  Callie shivered and gasped, before closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. “This can’t be real.”

  “You don’t believe us?” Vlad asked, his temper coming to the surface but he pushed it back down. How could she refute what they had told her, shown her? Surely she couldn’t deny what she had seen with her own eyes?

  “I–I don’t know what to believe.” Callie met his gaze.

  He opened his mouth and let his fangs slide down. This time when she shivered, it wasn’t with desire but with fear. He retracted his fangs and gently cupped her cheek. “I have already told you that you are safe with us. You are our mate and under our protection. We would give our lives to keep you safe.”

  “How can…How can any of this be real?”

  “Vampires have existed from the beginning of time, honey.” Dex kissed the tips of her fingers. “Of course we have kept our existence hidden. Humans fear about which they do not understand. If they knew we walked this earth we would be hunted and destroyed, wiped out, become extinct. Revealing our presence is not an option. The continuation of our species is dependent on secrecy.”

  “This is too much. I don’t understand…any of it.”

  “What is there to understand, Callie?” Vlad asked. “You can’t refuse to believe when what we have shown you is true. You know in your heart that we are real. I can feel that you believe what we’ve said.”

  “What do you mean that you can feel…”

  “We are in your mind, sweet one,” Dex said. “We can feel your emotions and at times hear your thoughts.”

  Callie snatched her hand from Dex’s and pushed to her feet. She would have stumbled if Vlad hadn’t reached out to grip her elbow, but once she was steady on her feet he released her, and even though he wanted to get up, walk over to her, and take her back into his arms, he stayed where he was and watched her. She paced back and forth on the other side of the coffee table, and when she stopped her agitated walking she turned to face them fully.

  “I can’t believe…Stay out of my head.” Callie spun on her heels and began pacing again. She wrung her hands in agitation, and then she turned her back on them and moved closer to the fire. She pushed her hands toward the warmth of the flames and then turned to warm her back, her eyes once more going to him and Dexter.

  “Why am I attracted to you both? Are you doing something to me to make me feel this way?”

  “No.” Dexter rose to his feet and walked toward her. He didn’t stop until he was standing right next to her, but he didn’t touch her.

  Vlad needed to be closer to her, too. He got up and moved until he was standing only a couple of feet in front of her. “We would never use our minds to conform your will to ours. What you’re feeling is natural when mates meet. We have the ability to compel humans to do what we want them to do, but you are our mate, the other half of our souls, and we would never do anything to sway your choice.”

  “We want to be with you, Callie. Vlad is right. You are the other half of our souls, and you complete us in a way I never would have imagined, but we would never make you do anything you didn’t want to do. You find us attractive because we are the other half of you. Lust is a big part of being close to a mate or mates, but it is not everything. You have a big heart, sweet one. You are capable of great love. Neither of us even knew what love was until you came into our lives. Yes, we felt affection for one another, we are blood brothers, but you have brought joy and laughter back into our lives, and we haven’t even had one blood exchange yet.”

  Callie backed away as her face paled. Dexter moved so fast he was a blur. He picked Callie up into his arms and carried her back over to the sofa. “Do not fear us, Callie,” Dex demanded. “We have already told you several times that we would never harm you.”

  “Wh—blood exchange?”

  “If you agreed to be our mate we would need to exchange blood with you three times to bring you into our world. We would make love with you and drink your blood, and you would need to drink ours,” Vlad explained.

  “I couldn’t…I can’t…”

  “Shh, baby, do not panic. Breathe with me, Callie.” Vlad inhaled deeply, held his breath for a moment before expelling it, and was pleased when she did the same. Her racing heart slowed incrementally and her panting eased.

  “We can compel you to do that with us, if you have an aversion to such a thing.” Dex shifted her on his lap and cuddled her tightly against him. “You won’t even know that you’ve done it, sweet one.”

  “I don’t think…”

  “Shh.” Vlad leaned forward and brushed his lips over hers and was pleased when she whimpered with desire and reached for him when he went to move back. He glanced over at Dex and with a nod from his friend, picked her up, and brought her onto his lap. “You don’t need to answer right now, baby. We’ll give you time to think things over, but you can’t tell anyone about anything we’ve told you.”

  Vlad looked down as she looked up and he lifted his hand to smooth away the frown on her brow. “What is it, Callie? Talk to us, baby.”

  He felt her shiver and, when he looked at the skin on her forearm, noted the goose bumps working their way over her flesh.

  “I wouldn’t tell anyone,” she whispered. “Everyone would think I was crazy and try to commit me if I told them anything you’ve told me tonight.”

  Vlad was still on the edge of her mind, not delving into her thoughts but more connecting with her emotions, and he didn’t have to push in any more to hear the sincerity in her voice. He caught the nod Dex gave him in his periphery and relaxed a little more.

  Her sweet, natural scent enveloped his senses, and he couldn’t help but inhale her feminine perfume. His cock was hard and aching, and he’d never felt such an intense desire for a woman in his life. His inner beast was pushing at him to taste her, and it was a struggle to keep control. He hadn’t had sex with a woman in over fifty years, and the hunger burning inside him was nearly more than he could stand. His body felt weak and was trembling with arousal, and that hadn’t happened to him since his first sexual encounter with the opposite sex.

  When she shifted on his lap and her ass pressed against his throbbing dick, he couldn’t contain his moan of hunger. She looked up at him, and when he looked into those beautiful green eyes he felt lost.

  With slow deliberation, he lowered his head, giving her time to pull away or protest, but as he stared at her lips and his mouth got closer to hers, her tongue peeked out and swiped over those perfect bows.

  With a groan of surrender he breached the last of the gap and covered her mouth with his.

  Chapter Five

  Callie knew she was playing with fire after everything they had told her, but she just couldn’t seem to move away. She felt mesmerized as she stared into Vlad’s blue eyes, as if she was drowning in those sexy orbs, and she didn’t want to break the spell he seemed to have weaved over her.

  The moment his lips touched hers she was lost.

  His lips were warm, soft, and moist, and as he brushed them back and forth over hers, her body lit up even more. She’d never felt such a hunger, such a need before, and wasn’t sure she would survive it. And then he deepened the kiss. His mouth opened over hers, and she couldn’t help but open hers to let him in. The moment his tongue pushed in, she was consumed in his burning heat. He tasted so good. The only words she could think to describe his flavor were musky, manly male, and from the first taste she was addicted.

  She had no idea why she wasn’t hightailing it out of there and running home. Maybe it was because she’d never been affected by one
man like this, let alone two, but the thought of leaving and never seeing them again caused great wrenches of pain to stab at her heart. Maybe what they had said about her being their mate and they being hers was true. Whatever it, this, was she wanted more.

  Just the thought of Vlad and Dexter touching her, making love to her as they sank their fangs into her neck and drank from her caused her to erupt. Fire raced out from deep inside her womb, causing her pussy to clench and cream to leak out as she shook and shuddered with delight.

  Vlad lifted his head to stare at her, and the heat in his eyes should have singed her from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.

  “So fucking sexy,” Vlad whispered in a hoarse voice. “I, we, want to make love to you, baby.”

  She wanted that, too, but it was way too soon. She’d never had sex with a man and had never just rushed right in where angels feared to tread. “I—ˮ

  “Shh, honey.” Dex shifted closer until she could feel the heat from his body, and she couldn’t help but shiver again. “You don’t have to answer that if you’re not ready.”

  “I just…”

  “It’s okay, baby,” Vlad kissed her forehead and then pulled her in tighter against his big muscular body. “Don’t feel like we’re pushing you. We can wait until you’re ready for the next step.”

  “I want you. Both of you.” She met each of their eyes for a brief moment and then looked over into the flames swirling and curling in the fireplace. “I do, but I’ve never…”

  “Never been with a man before,” Dex finished for her, and she felt heat creeping up her cheeks, but she nodded and gulped.

  Dex reached over and clasped her chin in his hand with a firm yet gentle grip. “There’s no need to be embarrassed, sweet one. We can take things slow.”

  “But that’s just it.” Callie sighed. “I don’t know if I want to take things slow. Yet I don’t know if I’m ready for…God, I sound like a total idiot.”

  “No.” Dex leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips. “You’re no idiot, Callie. You’re a beautiful, intelligent, totally caring human.”

  Callie blinked, and then a smirk graced her lips. “Did you just call me a bitch?”

  “What? No! Why would you even ask that?” Dex frowned at her and released her chin.

  Vlad chuckled and then outright laughed. Callie couldn’t help but join in, especially since Dex looked so bamboozled.

  “Oh you are priceless, baby,” Vlad said when he got his mirth under control. “I can tell it’s going to take a lot to keep up with that sharp mind of yours. Think about it, Dex. What are the first letters of those words you said to her?”

  Dex frowned as he mulled over what Vlad said, and then he smiled. “You are going to be trouble, aren’t you? We’ll need to be on our toes around you.”

  Callie nodded and smiled back at him. She sighed with contentment and relaxed back against Vlad. She felt like she belonged here in between these two, and even though she knew she should be heading home, she didn’t want to.

  Dex stroked a finger down her cheek and she opened eyes she hadn’t realized she’d closed to meet his gaze. “I need to kiss you, too, sweet one. Can I do that?”

  Callie nodded, and then she was being passed over to Dex by Vlad. She placed her hands on one each of their forearms and nearly moaned when she felt the steely strength of their hard muscles moving beneath their skin. They were so damn strong to shift her about like that, like she weighed no more than a feather, and their display of strength turned her on.

  A gasp left her mouth when her ass landed in Dex’s lap, and she felt his hard cock pulse against her cheek and hip.

  Dex nudged her chin up, and why she expected him to go slow like Vlad had she didn’t know, but he didn’t. His mouth slammed down over hers, and then he was devouring her.

  Callie moaned as his tongue slid along hers. He tasted different than Vlad, yet no less intoxicating or arousing. The more he kissed her the more she burned and the more she wanted. When she flicked her tongue against his, she felt the sharp point of one of his teeth and curiosity had her exploring even more. As her tongue shaped that sharp tooth, his hold on her firmed even more and she felt his body tremble with desire, so she shifted to the other side of his mouth and caressed his other fang. He groaned and then broke the kiss to stare into her eyes.

  “You’re playing with fire, sweet one,” he said around panting breaths. “A vampire’s fangs are very sensitive.”

  His hand brushed against her belly, skin on skin, and until that moment she hadn’t realized his hand had worked its way under her shirt. As he kept their gazes locked, he moved that warm, big hand up over her belly and torso. The tips of his fingers caressed the underside of her lace-covered breast and she mewled with pleasure. She hadn’t realized that area of her breast was so sensitive, not until right now, and even though she loved the way his touch made her feel, she wanted more.

  Callie pushed her chest forward and watched as Dex’s pupils dilated even more until there was hardly any color left showing of his iris, but a thin ring on the outside edge. She moaned when he moved that hand up, and his entire large hand cupped the weight of her breast into it.

  “You’re so fucking soft, honey. I want to feel more.”

  “Yes,” Callie whispered, not daring to speak louder unless she broke the sexual pall surrounding them.

  “Still not enough.” Dex nuzzled her neck with his nose, and then he licked her skin before scraping his teeth down her flesh.

  “Dex!” Vlad called loudly.

  Dexter groaned and moved his mouth away from her neck, but then he tugged at her shirt. Buttons went flying every which way but she didn’t care. His fingers flicked at the front clasp of her bra, her breasts spilled free, and his hand covered her completely.

  Callie whimpered with delight at having her voluptuous globe engulfed in his big, warm manly hand. She looked down to see that the skin of his hand looked so tanned against the white flesh of her creamy breast. As he kneaded and molded her flesh in his, he once more lowered his head and kissed her. And what a kiss it was. His mouth dominated hers from the get-go and she could only follow where he led.

  His tongue thrust and glided, his teeth nibbled and nipped, as his hand shifted from around her breast and plucked and pinched at her hard aching nipple. And the cry that left her mouth was muffled by his when Vlad’s mouth joined in the sexual fray. The heat and moisture of his wet mouth and hot tongue on her other nipple had her right on the precipice once more.

  Hands tugged at her skirt, and she unconsciously lifted her hips to help them get the encumbering material off of her. Cool air wafted over her legs, making her shiver at the contrast in temperature, but when Dex broke the kiss she groaned in protest.

  “Let’s make you more comfortable, baby.” Vlad’s deep voice sent another bout of paroxysms of surging through her body, and her pussy clenched with need, weeping more of her juices.

  When she felt Dex lifting her and walking, she wanted to open her eyes and see where he was taking her, but they were so heavy from her passion-induced haze she just couldn’t seem to manage to pry them open. Not that she really cared where they were taking her. All that mattered was that they relieve the burning ache deep inside her cunt and womb.

  She sighed as her back landed on something soft and fluffy, and she felt the heat of the fire radiating over her skin and knew they had laid her on the floor on the thick rug next to the fireplace.

  They came down on either side of her, still fully clothed, but she couldn’t refute the hunger, the desire she saw in their eyes as they looked her body over from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.

  “You are so fucking gorgeous and sexy,” Vlad said before leaning over and kissing her on the belly. He placed his hand on her lower abs and brushed his fingers back and forth over her skin, causing her muscles to jump as she reached up for more.

  He shifted around until he was near her feet and clasped her ankle, picking her leg up fro
m the floor. “God but you’re tiny. I can’t believe how small your feet are.” And then he surprised her by kissing the arch of her foot.

  Callie didn’t even remember when she’d lost her shoes or where they were, not that it was important right now. The only thing she could focus on was the lap of Vlad’s tongue on her toes, and then he sucked the two smaller ones into his mouth. Electric pulses raced up her leg and right into her pussy, making her clench and leak even more. She gasped and moaned as he worked his way up the inside of her leg until he was nearly at her pussy, but to her frustration he switched to the inside of her other leg and worked his way back down.

  She mewled as Dex massaged and squeezed both her breasts, and then he lapped and laved over both peaks alternately. She didn’t even have to lift her hips when she felt her panties being pulled over her hips. Somehow they just slid right off until she was completely naked.

  Vlad skimmed his hands up the inside of her lower legs, and when he got to her knees he pushed them open, gently but with an insistence she couldn’t deny even if she was a little uncomfortable at exposing herself for the very first time in her life.

  She held her breath when he leaned down close to her wet, aching pussy and inhaled deeply. More heat crept up into her cheeks, and she hoped they weren’t as red as they felt. His eyes traveled up the length of her body until she felt pinned under that hot hungry gaze, and then while she was watching him he lowered his head and swiped his tongue through her drenched folds.

  Callie cried out at the first contact of his warm damp tongue on her cunt and her lids lowered to half-mast as her breathing and heart rate increased.

  She’d never felt anything so exquisite in her life and wondered if she could go insane from experiencing so much. It was almost too much to bear, but she needed, wanted more. His tongue stabbed into her wet entrance, and he groaned as if he enjoyed the taste of her body’s desire.

  She was on fire. Her blood was so hot she felt like she was about to go up in flames. She was breathing so fast, panting heavily, but couldn’t seem to fill her lungs with enough air. His tongue withdrew from her hole and then skidded up once more until the tip of it was flickering back and forth over her clit. Callie moaned and couldn’t prevent her hips from bowing up into his touch, seeking more of the heaven he was bestowing on her.
