He led her down the steps to the basement flat and unlocked the door. Dani was almost unable to walk. He picked her up and carried her through the flat into his bedroom. It was the only room with no windows. He could safely stay down here during the day when the sun was up. He placed her on the bed and unbuckled her heels, tugging them off.
“Jamie, are you sure you’re okay about doing this?”
“You’re a very attractive girl.” He stood, kicking off his own shoes. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you find me attractive too.”
“Yes. I know you’re a vampire and I shouldn’t think that because we’re friends, but I can’t help it.”
She reached out, catching him by his belt and tugging him closer. She pulled his grey shirt out of his trousers. He didn’t try to stop her. She ripped open his shirt, buttons flying everywhere before she ran her hands up his stomach. He shuddered, her skin against him rendering it impossible for him to think about anything but her naked beneath him.
She looked up at him, ice blue eyes full of lust.
“I don’t want this to ruin our friendship, but I want you and I don’t want to pretend I don’t.”
He put his hands on her shoulders, pressing her down onto the bed as he crawled over her.
“You don’t have to pretend with me. I want you too. Shit, I’ve thought about fucking you all night to be honest.”
His fingers ran up her thighs, pushing her dress up. She moved, allowing him to take it off her and toss it away. She lay there in a set of white, lacy lingerie, glittering magic rippling under her skin.
Fuck, she is stunning.
“You have? Why?”
“You’re sexy and that dress didn’t leave much to the imagination, yet seeing you without it… I want to bury my cock in you.”
She said nothing, tugging him towards her. Their lips met and he didn’t hold back, devouring her mouth. It made him crave her blood all the more, but he wasn’t going to bite her. It would completely fuck everything up between them. This was already taking things too far.
She groaned, arching up against him. He fumbled behind her, unsnapping her bra and tugging it off. He cupped her breast, running his thumb over her nipple. The need to have her was completely overriding the usual calm and collected way he handled woman. Dani made him feel like a teenager again. She turned away, taking a gulping breath of air.
“Jamie, I need you now. It’s too much, I can’t handle it any longer. It burns.”
He didn’t need telling twice. He tore off his belt and was out of the rest of his clothes in moments. He hooked his fingers in her underwear and pulled it off. Staring down at Dani, he couldn’t quite believe his eyes. She really did have the most incredible body. Curves in all the right places.
I’ve never wanted to fuck one of the fae, but shit, Dani is something else.
She opened her legs for him, her eyes hooded, face flushed. He was mesmerised, almost unable to move. His cock throbbed. He was so hard, he could barely stand it. He needed her as much as she needed him.
“I don’t want to hurt you, but I don’t know if I can hold back with you looking at me like that.”
She reached up, tugging him towards her.
“I don’t care if you hurt me. I need a release and right now, only you can give me it.”
He settled in between her legs and pressed against her opening, feeling her wetness coating him. She was more than ready. He pushed inside her, grunting as she stretched around him.
“Fuck, Dani, you’re so tight.”
“Jamie,” she groaned, her fingers digging into his back.
He wanted to be gentle, but Dani was having none of it. She arched her hips up, giving him better access to her. He gripped them and pressed deeper. Her face scrunched up in a mixture of pleasure and pain.
“Am I hurting you?” he asked.
Instead of answering, she grabbed him by the face and kissed him, her tongue melding against his. He thrust into her, trying to keep his need to take her roughly in check.
“No, no, I want it, all of it,” she whispered against his lips. “Don’t fucking stop.”
One last thrust had him bottoming out. She clenched around him. Shit, it’s been forever since a girl was able to take all of me. What are you doing to me, Dani?
Their need for each other had him completely abandoning all pretence that he was in control of the situation. He gave it to her harder and she met him with equal fervour and passion. She moaned, making it increasingly difficult for him to think straight. Her body trembled, the magic pulsating in her veins, shimmering under her skin.
“Fuck, Dani,” he whispered, burying his face in her neck.
His fangs popped out. He pulled back, shuddering as the urge to bite her hit him with full force. No. I can’t. Not to her. Not like this. Her eyes widened when she noticed his teeth. She reached up, which made him still. She ran a finger down one of his fangs until she met the tip. He could hardly move, concerned about what she was going to do next.
“Do you want it?” she whispered.
He couldn’t answer. He could hear her blood pounding in her veins. Her ice blue eyes flickered with desire and lust. She pressed her finger against his fang and he felt her skin give. She pulled her finger away. A small drop of blood pooled on the tip. It mesmerised him. The smell of her blood caused his eyes to darken. The ache in his throat and the swell of his cock almost made him lose complete control.
“Dani,” he growled.
She stuck her finger in his mouth before he had a chance to say anything further. As soon as her blood hit his tongue, he groaned, his eyes rolling back in his head. Shit, this is what ecstasy tastes like. Nothing could’ve prepared him for the sweetness, the taste of pure unadulterated joy. And it was so very wrong. He ripped her finger from his mouth, pinning her hand to the bed. He leant down, kissing her so hard, he bruised her lips. Dani didn’t protest. She writhed beneath him.
“Fuck, you should not have done that,” he grunted, holding her down and pounding into her without restraint.
“There’s a lot of things neither of us should’ve done tonight, but we’re doing this all the same. Don’t hold back. Show me what it’s truly like to fuck a vampire.”
She had no idea what she was asking for.
“I’ll hurt you. I’m a lot stronger than you think. I can snap your bones.”
“Have you forgotten I have an insane amount of magic coursing through my veins? I’ll heal. Please. You said you’d show me everything. Well, I want you to show me this too.”
The pleading look in her eyes had him abandoning all his protests.
Am I ever going to be able to say no to her? Shit, she’s already got me wrapped around her little finger and she isn’t even trying.
“Just tell me to stop if it gets too much.”
To him, the world seemed to slow, but he knew to her, he’d be moving almost too quickly for her to track. She cried out, her free hand clinging to the bedsheets. Whenever he thought he might break her, her magic bolstered her. Her moans got louder, her face flushed, skin glittering.
Shit, she feels so good. This feels so fucking good.
He couldn’t let go like this with humans, only other vampires who could take this kind of brutal pounding. Dani seemed to be in complete euphoria. Her eyes flew open as she bit down on her lip, whimpering.
“Jamie, I’m going to….”
He didn’t let up in pace, but he felt the stirring inside her. Her body clenched and shook around him. Her eyes rolled back in their sockets, knuckles white as she gripped the sheets. Magic seeped out of her skin and slammed into him. Exquisite pleasure washed over every inch of his skin. There was absolutely no holding back against the onslaught of her coming apart around him and her magic encompassing the both of them.
He grunted, pulsating over and over, continuing to thrust into her until he all but collapsed on top of her. She panted, her eyes closed and her heartbeat thudding in her chest. He’d never come like that or f
elt anything of the sort with anyone else.
“You’re incredible,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to her collarbone.
“So are you.”
“Do you feel better now?”
“Mmmhmm.”
He dared spare a glance at her face. She was smiling, relief flooding her features. He brushed her hair from her face.
“I should get home… but a part of me wants to do that again.”
Chapter Six
Dani watched his face carefully for signs he might disagree. They had crossed a line neither of them could come back from. They weren’t just friends any longer. They’d blurred the lines and fucked each other. Granted, she had very little choice but to ask him to help her. It still didn’t make her feel any less to blame for getting them into this situation in the first place.
Seeing Jamie suck that girl’s blood made it impossible for me not to crave her energy. And what she had been avoiding the whole night. She was so ridiculously attracted to the vampire, it almost hurt to be around him. He constantly touched her. Every time he did, her skin thrummed with need. And now she knew what it was like to have him between her legs, his sizable cock inside her. She’d never been fucked like that before. Not with such intensity or reckless abandon. It’d made her feel so alive and she’d come so hard, she thought she saw stars.
“Again? This was only supposed to help you,” he said.
The rejection felt like a slap in the face. He’d said he wanted this too when they were wrapped up in each other. Said he wanted her.
“Dani… I… fuck, don’t look at me like that.”
“It doesn’t matter. I just didn’t want my only memory of this to be associated with being tripped out on magic.”
She slapped a hand across her mouth, realising she hadn’t meant to say that last part. Jamie’s eyes flickered with longing.
“You know I’ll have to be gentle if I take you again.”
She lowered her hand. He cupped her face, thumb running along her bottom lip. His eyes were on hers, molten silver reflecting the intense lust she felt for him at that moment. He hadn’t moved off her, they were still joined together and he was most definitely hard.
“I’ve corrupted you and fuck if that doesn’t turn me on,” he whispered before he kissed her.
She’d been in a state of delirium when they’d kissed before, utterly consumed by the need to fuck. Now, she felt the real connection between them. She really felt Jamie. His cool skin. The way his lips felt like ice against hers. And not to mention how full she felt with his cock inside her. I’ve only ever had two fae men before and they really don’t match up to Jamie at all.
He started to move, causing her to yelp into his mouth.
Just how hard did he fuck me when I was high on magic?
He pulled away, looking down at her with concern.
“What’s wrong? You do want this, right?”
“I do… I just need a minute. That was kind of intense.”
He grinned, eyes lighting up with mischief.
“Mmm, yes, it was.”
He pulled out of her and sat up on his knees. She felt bereft of his presence around her immediately. He looked down at her skin, his eyes clouding over.
“Fucking hell, I didn’t mean to… Shit, Dani, I’m so sorry.”
She looked down at herself. Her hips and inner thighs bore large bruises, which were darkening rapidly. She frowned, whilst it looked pretty awful, it didn’t hurt.
“I shouldn’t have let go with you. Fuck.”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“That doesn’t matter, fuck, look at you.” He waved a hand at her. “Shit, the first time I take you to bed and I cause this because I wasn’t in control at all.”
His words didn’t escape her notice. The first time? Wait? Does he want to do this again after tonight?
“I can see and it’s not your fault. I asked you to let go.”
Glittering pale blue magic seeped out of her hand, running down her stomach and across her legs and hips. The bruising faded within moments. His eyes met hers, turmoil in those silver depths.
“I’m not some delicate flower. Please, stop looking at me like you could break me any second.”
“I’m supposed to be your friend and that means taking care of you, not fucking and bruising you.”
She sat up and wrapped her arms around his back. He didn’t try to hold her, but he didn’t pull away either.
“Stop it. We’re both to blame for what happened this evening, so stop.”
“Dani…”
“No. I don’t want to hear it. You helped me when I fucked up and needed it the most. I trust you. Nothing is going to change that, okay?”
She really did trust him even though they knew so little of each other. Jamie seemed so self-assured, but what happened between them showed her something else lurked behind that confident exterior.
He wrapped his arms around her, burying his face in her hair.
“Trusting me is dangerous.”
“I knew from the moment I saw you it would be dangerous to know you.”
“Well, you’ve not run away screaming.”
She looked up at him.
“Do you think you’re some kind of monster? Because I assure you, I’d be one too if that’s the case.”
“Not a monster, just deadly.”
She reached up, curling her hand around his neck and pulling him down. Her nose brushed against his, but she didn’t kiss him.
“You know my biggest secret now.”
“I can’t believe your father makes you have sex with your bodyguard.”
“I don’t have much of a choice. You saw what happens. If I left it any longer, it would have only got worse for me.”
He ran a hand up her back, leaving goosebumps in his wake. His fingers brushed over her jaw. She didn’t feel self-conscious despite them both being naked and pressed up against each other.
“I’ve done a lot of terrible things as a vampire. I’ve hurt and maimed, but I’ve only ever killed once. It’ll haunt me for the rest of my existence. One day, I’m going to tell you what happened. You’ll be the only person I’ve trusted with the truth.”
His eyes flickered with pain. Her heart felt tight.
He wants to let me in? I never expected sex to bring us closer together as friends.
“Tomorrow we’ll forget we slept together and be friends again, but right now, I want to kiss you, feel you, be in you.”
His lips brushed over hers. A hot wave of desire cut through her. His other hand cupped her behind, pressing her closer. She felt his cock throbbing between them. If tonight was going to be the only time they did this, then she’d make it count.
“I want you too,” she whispered.

Dani opened her eyes. Jamie lay next to her, his eyes closed. He looked completely at peace and very much dead to the world. There was a note resting by his head. She plucked it from the pillow, turning over onto her back. On the front in beautiful handwriting was her name. She unfolded it.
Dani
I wasn’t sure when you’d wake up. Stay as long as you want, I won’t rise till sunset. I hope you don’t get in trouble for staying out all night.
Jamie
Novus was definitely going to be mad, but she didn’t care. The night she’d spent with the vampire had flipped her world upside down. Not only had she seen more than she bargained for at ObliVion, she’d had mind blowing, life changing sex with Jamie. It shouldn’t have happened and yet she couldn’t bring herself to regret it in the slightest. He’d really opened her eyes to the world outside the fae. There was no going back for her now.
She looked at him. His chestnut hair was mussed. He was completely still, tucked up under the covers. She reached out, touching his cheek. His skin was ice cold.
He really looks dead, but I guess this is what happens during the daylight hours for vampires.
She wondered why he was okay with her being here when he was vuln
erable.
He trusts me.
It made her heart thump. All she’d ever wanted was a friend. Someone who didn’t judge her, who cared for her and trusted her. She’d found him in the most unexpected place.
Vampire or not, Jamie is all I could ever want in a friend.
She sat up, leant over and kissed his cheek. Hauling herself out of bed, she nipped into his bathroom and took a shower. It wouldn’t do to go home smelling of sex. She’d already have a lot of explaining to do without that.
She dressed when she’d dried herself off. Now she’d replenished her magic, she could afford to use a portal to get home. Her pale blue, glittering magic seeped out of her hands and a purple light appeared in front of her. She spared one last glance at Jamie, smiling. She hoped they’d see each other soon.
When she hopped the fence to her garden, Novus was waiting for her at the back door.
“Dani,” he hissed. “Where the fuck have you been?”
“I lost track of time and fell asleep at his.”
“You and I are going to have words later. Get inside and get changed.”
“Why?”
“Why? For fuck's sake, Dani, Father is here.”
She paled.
“Does he know?”
“Of course not, he thinks you’re upstairs asleep. Go now, I’ll keep him distracted.”
She slipped out of her heels. Novus stalked back in the house, leaving her trailing behind him. She waited until he went in the living room and shut the door before creeping up the four flights of stairs to her room. She collapsed on the bed, groaning. Why was her father here?
She couldn’t stay in her room all day. It was merciful she didn’t have any ill effects from drinking last night. The magic had burned that away not to mention the workout she received at the hands of her vampire friend.
Brain, you’ve got to stop thinking about that! I don’t care how good it was or how many times he made me come… It was six. Six blissful times. He is amazing in bed.
