“I should have guessed. You guys need to keep under the radar after all.” I cup the back of her neck and pull her head back to mine and kiss her again. I will never stop needing her mouth against mine any more than I will her blood or her body. I need this connection with her. I crave it more than I ever thought I would.
“I…I want to try it.” She says when she finally breaks the kiss. I moan because whatever she’s offering, I will be happy to oblige.
“Try what sweetheart?” I ask even though it doesn’t matter I will give her anything.
“I want you to feed on me. I need to know if I can handle it before we get into this too deep.” My fangs lengthen at the thought of her sweet blood. I only had a drop, and yet it was the most powerful drop I have ever consumed. I crave it. I crave her.
I tip her head back and lick the side of her neck.
“Right here?” I ask her, and she moans.
“Yes.” She says breathily and I know she is right there with me, needing this connection, craving only what I can give her.
I lick the spot again, finding the right vein with my tongue before allowing my fangs to sink into her flesh. Her sweet blood fills my mouth, and I swallow it down. I suction my mouth delicately around her flesh to get more, and her body moves against mine. Her blood heats my veins and goes directly to my cock causing a pulse to start. She presses her heat into my hardness making me delirious with pleasure. I suck in another mouthful and feel myself explode. My cock jerks and spews my seed into my boxers making me growl against her throat.
I remove my teeth and lick the wound until it closes showing no sign that she was ever bitten. I pull back and look down at her. Her pupils are dilated, and her breathing is erratic.
“Are you okay?” I ask, and she bats her eyes several times before she answers me.
“That was…Oh my god. That was incredible.” She says and then she blushes. The orgasm she gave me wasn’t the only one to be had. Her cheeks are flushed, and I can smell her sweet cream dampening her panties.
“Did you cum too or do you need me to help you?” I ask to be sure she isn’t left wanting. I will never leave her wanting.
“I did.” She ducks and presses her cheek against my chest. I smile against the top of her head.
“Give me just a second. I need to change before we have company.” I tell her as she moves away. I look down to see a wet spot spreading over the front of my jeans. She looks down and sees it too causing her cheeks to redden further. I run my finger down her cheek enjoying the heat against my finger.
I take a step away from her and use vampire speed to get to my bedroom. I change quickly and return to her as fast as I can. I hate being away from her even for a second. If I weren't expecting Thomas to show up any minute, I would take a quick shower though I would prefer to take one with her. I’m not sure she’s ready for that. I will be as patient as I can be. I will do anything for her.
Chapter 8. Paige
I have been given so much information that my head feels like it’s about to explode. I press my hand to my neck where he had bitten me. Just remember his fangs in my flesh makes my cheeks flush. I never imagined it would feel so good. I’m worried I will now be a slave to my desire. He has created a monster, which is funny considering he’s the vampire. I can’t believe I’m not more freaked out about this. I guess I probably would have been had I not had a chance to get to know him. He’s a wonderful, passionate man. Oh, do not get me wrong, he has this He-man complex going but so does a lot of men, and he is at least genuine.
I want so badly to say the hell with it and sleep with him tonight, but that might be because my body is still tingling from the orgasm he gave me by taking my blood. I want so badly for him to do it again. A knock sounds on the door even though Isaac was already half way to the door, having obviously heard him coming. His senses seem much stronger than a human. I’m not surprised after everything he has told me. I’m sure there are still things I will need to know yet what I do know so far doesn’t frighten me as much as it would if I had walked away. I would have always questioned my decision.
The vampire Thomas enters the room, and Isaac leads him over to the couch. They both sit down, and I go over to join them. Isaac pulls me down on his lap. I nearly laugh at his caveman antics because I know he’s doing it for Thomas’s benefit. He’s laying claim to me, and for some reason, it warms me. This strong, powerful man wants me. Not just for now either but for life, if I understand this mate thing correctly. I am literally the very thing he needs to survive. He had even mentioned being able to have children, though I’m not quite there yet it’s good to know it’s an option.
“Congratulations on finding your mate. Like I said earlier, it seems to be going around.” Thomas says, and I catch the sad look he makes before masking his expressions. He wants a mate. I hope he finds one and she is everything he ever dreamed of having. Everyone deserves happiness in their lives. Well, most do anyway. I’m starting to think the man who created this unit is not so deserving or doesn’t know the facts. It’s crazy to think that soon they will be sending us to fight vampires, and from what I have seen of Isaac’s reflexes and speed, more than likely to our death.
“You know it’s probably no coincidence. Something is coming.” Isaac says, and Thomas nods his head.
“Something has already started. Humans know about us. They are sending some military units out to attack us.” He holds up his hand and from them hang at least a dozen dog tags. I gasp as I grab my own underneath my shirt. Isaac squeezes me into him.
“I did think it was strange that Paige knew about us before I told her,” Isaac says as he takes the tags from Thomas’s hand. He looks at the names and hisses.
“I trained all these men.” He exclaims. I shudder as I realize I would have died had I not met Isaac and learned the truth.
“My unit was formed as a new paranormal division. We are to train with Isaac before we go on our first mission.” I say, and I notice my voice is shaky. I swallow hard before continuing. It’s difficult to talk about this because we were taught to follow blindly and trust the government to know what’s best for all of us.
“Our mission is to begin soon. We will receive notification on what that mission is and where to go.” Isaac lays his hand over mine and only then do I realize I was fidgeting with the end of my shirt and now it’s frayed.
“Who authorized this division?” Isaac asks. I close my eyes for a moment because I know this is going to be tough for them to hear.
“General Bendix,” I tell them and Isaac curses.
“I knew it. He has been acting strangely every time we are in communication. I have stayed in one place too long. Honestly, I have been considering retirement as it is. I have grown tired of the military. He has asked me multiple times how old I am. I guess I have grown too complacent.” Isaac says and curses again. It’s my turn to press my hand against his chest. He takes a deep breath and shoves his face in my hair. He takes a deep breath and then relaxes a little.
“General Bendix was in my unit fifty years ago. It was for such a brief time, and everyone on the team was killed but the two of us. Though, I was presumed dead. I went to the navy after a quick name change. Vietnam was a terrible war, and I assumed he wouldn’t have remembered me, but it appears I might have been wrong. I created this shit.” He presses his palm against his eyes.
“This shit is my fault. I will come to Northridge and help William.” He looks at me then and tucks my hair behind my ear.
“Will you come with me? You won’t be the only human there, and I could use your help as well.” He says as he continues to run his thumb along my neck.
“It’s not as easy as that, but I have an idea,” I tell him with a big smile. It’s time to take a page out of Isaac’s book. There is no way the military will ever let us go if they know we’re alive.
Chapter 9. Isaac
Paige informed me that the message came through last night that their team was being sent to Northridge Col
orado. They were given exact coordinates on where the nest of vampires is going to be. The message was to kill all the members of the nest. They do not care about the pregnant humans currently in residence. It’s time to go ahead with our plan first thing tomorrow morning. We either out ourselves to the humans and worry about war between the species or we do it this way. I would rather avoid more conflict.
Paige is visiting her father and then she will be coming here to spend the night with me. We must be up and go early in the morning for this to work. I will be honest, I’m worried. This plan might have repercussions, but it will save lives in the immediate future. It will also save my Paige from having any more to do with this unit or the government.
I decided to make tonight romantic since I will not be seeing Paige for a day and a half starting tomorrow. I ordered her dinner and bought a bottle of wine. I wanted to make her a nice dinner, but I have no idea how to cook. I’m afraid that I never did much of it as a human and never needed to learn as a vampire. I only hope she likes what I have selected for her. The lady at the Chinese food restaurant said this was the most popular dish, so I figure it must be good for so many to enjoy it.
I am finishing lighting the candles when I hear her rental car pull up outside. I told her she could use my truck, but she insisted that it looks to conspicuous if she was driving around town in my cage. She laughed when I called it the cage, but she understands it completely now that she has learned the pleasures of riding a bike. There is nothing like the open road and the wind in your face. I can smell her and hear her little feet as she walks toward the house. My fangs lengthen, and so does my cock. That’s all it takes these days. One scent or the sound of her voice will send my libido into overdrive. I can’t wait for this to all be over so we can move on with the rest of our lives together.
She walks in, and I smile. The last few times she knocked on the door, and it took some convincing that she never needed to do that again. This is her home. Anything that is mine is hers. She is finally getting it. This is no fling to me. This is a lifetime commitment, and everything she has experienced up until now as far as relationships go can be thrown out the window. We make our own way, and there is no pause button. There is only forward.
She walks straight into my arms, and I can’t help but kiss her. She is like a breath of fresh air after a day of pretending she means nothing to me. I used to love training new teams, but now I just want to spend my days with her in my arms. It makes it worse knowing these men are being trained to kill my kind.
“I missed you.” She says against my lips, and I nearly fall to my knees at her admission. I hope this means she’s growing to love me as I have her.
“Good because I missed the fuck out of you too,” I say as I take her mouth with all the pent-up passion inside of me. She is my every desire, and the need she creates in me is nearly as consuming as the hunger for her blood. I need her to belong to me as I do her. I need her tied to me in every way a woman can be tied to a man. That way I will never lose her. I will never tell her this, but I’m terrified for what she will be up against in the next few days. They are going to be hell for both of us. It’s not like I ever stop worrying about her but now she will be heading straight into danger, and I can’t be with her to protect her.
“What’s the matter?” She pulls away from me and looks up at me with so much concern in her beautiful eyes.
“I’m just worried about what will happen tomorrow and the next day,” I tell her honestly though I do not convey the level of my worry. I knew my mate was a warrior when I met her, a true soldier since birth but it never bothered me until I knew she would be in danger. Now, I am fighting every instinct intrinsic to me to allow her to be that warrior.
“Everything will be fine. We have gone over every detail and every possible scenario. We’re ready for this.” She says as she looks over at the table and smiles. I’m not ready to have her out of my sight. I push it all back because it has no place here tonight. Tonight is for me and my mate, an escape from the world outside. This is our bubble that will not burst until tomorrow when we must face what is out there.
I pull out her chair, and she sighs as she takes her seat as she realizes that I will not talk about tomorrow anymore. She grabs the cartons in front of her and pours some on her plate.
“This is my favorite. How did you know?” She asks, and I laugh.
“I just asked for their most popular dish.” She smiles as she takes a bite. She moans and quickly takes another bite. I frown. Has she been eating enough? I need to be a better mate and think of her needs before my own. I watch as she eats and I pour her a glass of wine. She takes a sip between bites and looks up at me with a smile.
“It feels weird eating alone.” That adorable blush rises in her cheeks again.
“Oh, I plan on eating at this table just as soon as you’re finished,” I say with a smirk. Paige’s mouth drops open.
“I’m finished.” She squeaks. It’s good to know she’s just as eager as I am. I have fed from her many times now, and it’s always explosive. She starts fidgeting nervously, and it surprises me. She has never shied away from me drinking from her. Although, her blood isn’t the only thing I would like to feast on. I have tasted her arousal on my fingers, and I crave more. She moves her chair back and lifts her shirt over her head. Her creamy flesh gleams starkly against her black bra. She reaches behind her back and unclasps her bra, letting it slide down her slender arms. My breath catches as her rosy nipples pebble before my eyes. She’s so fucking beautiful; it hurts just looking at her. My cock is at full attention now and making demands.
“You said you would wait until I was ready.” She nervously stands up in front of me and pops the button open at the top of her jeans. I groan as the zipper slides down.
“I’m ready.” She says as she pushes her pants down her thighs. She kicks them and her sandals away from her. Now, she’s clad in only her tiny black panties. Her breast sway as she moves toward me. My eyes wander her body as I have always dreamed of doing. Her tiny waist tapers down into full hips. She has more curves than I would have thought and every one of them belongs to me, only me. Mine. I growl when she is finally within reach.
“Be sure. Remember what I told you about when I finally have you. I will never be letting you go. Be sure that’s what you want. There will be no going back.” I say in a voice I barely recognize. I’m more beast than man right now, and I want her to see me. See all of me and know I belong to her.
“I have never been surer of anything in my whole life.” She reaches for me and my restraint snaps. I pull her into me and take her mouth. We are all lips tongue and teeth as I capitulate completely. I would never deny her even if I wanted to, which I certainly do not. I want her with every fiber of my being. I need her in ways she will never fully understand. I reach up and pluck her nipple. This time they are fully visible, and I enjoy watching them tighten further into small little beads. I release her mouth and latch on to one of her berries. Her back arches and she presses herself into my mouth further, seeking more. I give her more. I will always give her what she needs.
She cups the back of my head, her fingers sliding through my hair as she grinds down on my cock. I am beyond any control as I lift her up and lay her out on the table. It’s time for my meal, the one I have been craving ever since our first bike ride. I kiss my way down her stomach until I reach her belly button. My tongue pushes into the small indentation and I can smell her cream coating her thighs. I growl as I move down to the spot I most want to taste. I separate her folds and stare down into her dewy pink center. I look up at her as she tries to close her legs. I growl, and she stops. I lick my lips, and she whimpers.
“Don’t try to hide what belongs to me,” I say as I dive into her tongue first. Her nectar hits my taste buds, and my eyes roll back in my head. She tastes so fucking good, better than I had remembered. Her sweetness is just what I needed to clench my thirst. Her hips buck, and her hands dive into my hair. For a second, I thought
she would push my head away, but she surprises me by pulling me closer and rubbing her little clit against my waiting tongue. I knew the first time I saw her, with all that gloriously red hair, that she was a powder keg just waiting to explode into the passionate creature she is showing me now.
“Oh god.” She exclaims as her legs wrap around my head. I thrust my tongue in and out of her channel before stroking it across her little nub. I have never done this before, so I take cues from her body on what she likes and dislikes. Every time my tongue hits her clit she makes this sound deep in her throat that has my cock throbbing. Her hips rock with every movement of my tongue as she climbs closer to her peak. I gaze up at her from over the top of her mound to see her watching me devour her. I like that her eyes are on me. I want her to see me giving her pleasure.
I can’t take much more. I’m about to explode with her and I’m not inside of her yet. Another hunger is making itself known as well as my fangs lengthen. My entire body is ready for me to claim this woman, but her body isn’t quite there. I take a finger and slide it inside of her as I bite into the inside of her thigh. She screams as her channel tightens around my finger and I get my first mouthful of her blood. I suck her blood from her as her pussy pulses around my finger sucking on it as a mouth would. That is going to feel so damn good around my cock. My cock jerks and before I can stop myself, I’m following her over the edge. I groan as I gulp one more swallow down. I lick the wound closed as my body trembles with my release.
I move her legs aside and stand up shakily. She is still laid out on the table looking sated and so fucking beautiful. Her chest rises and falls as she pants for breath. Her sensual body is flushed, and her heavy-lidded eyes meet mine. She takes my breath away. I lift her into my arms and carry her to our bedroom. Yes, I already consider it hers as well. I may own the house but she owns me so therefore it’s all hers. She presses her face into my neck and kisses me lightly nearly making me lose my footing. She giggles when I stumble a little. For a vampire that is high praise that she has me so tied up that I can’t even walk straight.
