Kellen feasted on her, amazed he wasn’t too out of it to monitor her reactions. He didn’t want to take too much all at once. After all, he had promised to bite her everywhere and he would. Breasts first then her pussy and finally her silky neck. Yes, he’d finish up there the same time he rammed his already burgeoning cock deep inside her. He’d fuck her nonstop, adding pleasure to the feel of her life draining away. And he would keep right on fucking her as she fed from him.
Frankie was out of control. The sensations flooding her were almost too much. The feel of Kellen drinking from her was unlike anything she’d ever imagined. The sting was sharp when his fangs punctured her, but the way he soothed it with his tongue had her wild. He’d told her that her strength and speed would be magnified once she was transformed and she couldn’t wait.
Once again Kellen teased his way up her body. She knew this time he’d kiss her as she wanted. She’d taste her blood on his tongue. Her blood and her cum. And then, once he’d drained enough from her, he’d open his vein and share his back with her.
Kellen kissed her just as he slid his cock home. Gods, it was incredible! He kissed her and kissed her, his tongue mimicking the long, slow strokes of his rock-hard shaft. He kept her right on the edge of coming so long she didn’t think she could stand it another second. Finally he changed the angle of his thrusts so his cock brushed her still-sensitized clit. When her pussy began to clench around him Kellen lifted his head. His eyes were dark and hooded as he stared at her.
“Frankie,” he whispered before lowering his mouth to her neck.
She came just as he sank his fangs into her soft flesh. She was already lightheaded from her climax when she felt the quality of the dizziness changing. He continued to pump deep within her. She was coming again, about to pass out when Kellen’s mouth released her.
Bracing himself on one elbow, Kellen lifted his wrist to his mouth. He opened his own vein and pressed it to her lips.
“Drink,” he urged. “Drink from me. Drink and become mine.”
Frankie did as he instructed. She didn’t know what she was expecting but the zing that hit her with the first taste of his blood was not it. She felt electrified. She couldn’t get enough. Not of his blood or his cock, which was still moving within her throbbing pussy.
“Gods,” Frankie exclaimed, feeling overwhelmed with the sensations that were swirling throughout her entire body. “Kellen!”
“It’s okay.” He pumped harder, grinding his body against hers as if he couldn’t get in deep enough. “Don’t stop.” He forced her mouth back to her wrist. “Drain me. Make me come!”
Unbelievably Frankie felt her mouth changing, her fangs elongating. He’d said every cell in her body would alter but she hadn’t realized that it would be so quickly. When she dragged her mouth from his wrist, she was certain he could see them. And now that he knew she had fangs he leaned closer and offered her his neck.
“Bite me, Frankie. Now! Do it!”
Frankie instinctively knew just where to bite. Every fiber of her being turned pure savage as her fangs ripped into his neck. It took a second for it to register that the snarling she heard was coming from her. Feral was the only way to describe how she was feeling. She bucked her hips up to meet his and squeezed his cock with all she had.
Sex with Kellen had been unbelievably good before, but now it was even more so. Every bit of her flesh was electrified. The sensation of her pointed nipples rubbing against his chest heightened the pleasure his cock provided. Everything was magnified. She felt greedy and out of control, as if she’d never get enough of him, not his blood and definitely not his cock. The last thing she remembered before she passed out was coming harder than she ever had before, with Kellen coming with her.
Chapter Eight
Kellen was pacing, trying to remain calm. The first four times Frankie had awakened she’d been out of control, her hunger for his blood unquenchable, her lust insatiable. He was beginning to worry that she would remain feral, stuck halfway through the transformation, a monster. If she did he would have no choice but to destroy her. If his selfishness in wanting her for his mate caused that to be necessary it would kill him. No way could he continue on without her. He wouldn’t even want to try. The last time after she passed out he’d gotten what he needed to end his existence before he fed.
The thought of actually needing to do away with her had him edgier than he remembered ever being. He’d never transformed anyone before, but others had spoken of it and she should have started to calm by now. He’d wanted her so much and she’d sounded so positive that everything would turn out fine that he let himself put the risk aside. How could he have been such a fool!
“Kellen?” Frankie’s soft voice interrupted his musings.
“Frankie!” Kellen scooped her into his arms and held her tightly.
“What’s wrong?” She squirmed but he refused to release her. “Hey.” Nothing. “Kellen, please. You’re scaring me.”
“I’m sorry. I’m just so relieved.”
“Why?”
“I was afraid you wouldn’t finish changing.”
“How long has it been?”
“A week. You’ve fed four times.”
“Four? You said it would only take two.”
“I know. That’s what I’d been told. Do you remember anything?”
“No, not really. Just feeling extremely out of control. But I knew you were with me and you’d make everything okay. I am okay now, right?”
“You seem to be. How do you feel?”
“Tingly. Hyper. Ravenous. Horny.”
“Here,” Kellen invited her to take his neck.
Frankie was much more subdued with this feeding than she had been previously. She still tore into him, but he knew this time her saliva would be enough to close the wounds without his needing to concentrate on healing. Thank the gods she had been right about the transformation completing properly.
“Mmm, so good,” Frankie whispered against his neck. Surprising him with a quick twist, she had him flat on his back with her on top. Kellen could see her desire as she asked,” May I?”
“Absolutely.” He chuckled. So polite when before she had taken exactly what she wanted.
Frankie’s demeanor altered almost instantly once she reclaimed his neck. It only took a minute before she was snarling. A moment later she moved down his body, scraping him with her fangs as she went. When she focused her attention on his cock he went wild. He wanted nothing more than to flip them over and bury himself to the hilt as he feasted on her, but he would wait. He would try to anyway. Frankie’s newly developed strength on top of her boldness was such a turn-on that he didn’t know how long he could hold out.
“Go on. Bite my cock. You know you want to,” he urged.
“Won’t I hurt you?”
Kellen laughed. He couldn’t help himself. “You haven’t the other times so why would you now?”
“I did this before?” She sounded amazed.
“Oh yeah. Tore right into me as if you’d never let go.”
“Cool!” Frankie declared, claiming his shaft with her fangs. “Gods, no wonder,” she said a few minutes later. “You make me feel so primal.”
“Don’t hear any complaints, do you? Never hold back, Frankie.” Kellen resisted as long as he could and then startled her by tossing her from him. “I won’t be.”
The statement caused her to giggle. “Good.”
Immediately he pounced, burying his face in her pussy. After spearing her with his tongue he sank his fangs into her mound and drank, holding her in place so he could suck her clit while he feasted on her blood. He refused to release her until she came.
It was her turn to flip him to his back again. Before he could react she impaled herself on his rock-hard cock. She rode him relentlessly, which caused Kellen to grin. Up and down his shaft, over and over she devoured him with her pussy. Oh yeah, his mate was as incredible as he’d expected.
“Fuck me,” Kellen demanded, pumping u
p to meet her. “Harder.”
“More,” Frankie ordered in return, squeezing his rod tight with her newly developed pussy muscles.
When Kellen felt her spasming around him, he yanked her forward, holding her against his chest with his cock in deep. He pressed her mouth to his neck. As soon as her fangs claimed his throat he sank his canines in to her neck as well. The rush he got when her blood flooded his mouth sent him over the edge. He felt the walls of her pussy contract with every burst of his cum. Gods, if it was this good now he couldn’t begin to imagine how intense it would become over the next few hundred years.
As soon as Kellen started licking the punctures Frankie did the same. He smiled. She would take care of those she fed on just fine.
Frankie curled into Kellen’s side, lazily tracing patterns on his chest. “So what did you do all week?”
“You mean besides let you have your wicked way with me, feed so you could do it again and worry that I’d fucked up by trying to change you?”
“Was I really that bad?”
“Bad, no. Completely out of control feral, yes. But as I said, I’ve never done this before or seen anyone in the midst of being transformed. Perhaps this is how it is.”
“I’m glad it worked.”
“Once again you are the master of understatement.” He kissed her forehead. “But I did manage to do one other thing that should please you.”
“Oh?” Kellen’s grin had her on full alert. “What?”
“I was sorting through some mail that I’d been ignoring and found an invitation to the mayor’s fundraiser.”
“Ah, okay. Did you go?”
“Yes, for part of it. I didn’t want to leave you alone too long even though you’d just fed.”
“What, Kellen? Why do you look like the cat who swallowed the proverbial canary?”
“Guess who one of the speakers was.”
“No! Valdez? He couldn’t have been.”
“He was. Apparently he is one of the major contributors to the mayor’s reelection fund.”
“No wonder the law looks the other way all the time.”
“I had the same thought.” His grin grew.
“What did you do?”
“Well…”
Frankie knew it had to be something spectacular with how he was building anticipation but the suspense was killing her. “Tell me.”
“Since I was sure there would be some sort of program, I made up inserts for it. With a revised biography for Valdez on it.”
“Oh, Kellen!” Frankie was thrilled. Sure they’d been interfering with his street-level dealers over the past month and she had done things to poke at the man personally but this had the potential to impact public opinion. Surely the mayor would at least need to disassociate himself now. And there had to be some sort of press coverage at such an event. The inserts would have caused a buzz that the reporters would notice, drawing attention to them. Even if the media did take a wait-and-see stance they wouldn’t completely ignore it.
“Wish you could have been there. The looks on people’s faces were priceless. You could see the disbelief and then horror as it spread around the room.”
“Did you save one for me?”
“Of course.” Kellen disengaged himself to retrieve one of the programs from his desk. He settled back in beside her as Frankie read.
She was smiling by the time she’d finished. Everything Kellen had written was entirely true and exactly what Valdez wouldn’t want the world in general to know about his secret business. It was perfect. If only she’d been there to witness it.
“Did he stay? And speak?”
“He had to. Naturally he denied all of it with the appropriate amount of outrage. If he’d taken off it would have been admitting his guilt.”
“So it won’t really make a difference,” she concluded sadly.
“Oh I don’t know. No matter what he said while there I’m willing to bet that’s the last time he and the mayor are seen in public together. I expect there are now reporters trying to verify everything so they can print it. Yes, I’d say the image he portrays will take a hit with this one.”
“Thank you,” Frankie whispered softly.
“That mean it’s okay I interfered without consulting you first?”
“Absolutely! My gods, Kellen! How can you even question that?”
“I promised not to do anything other than torment his crew.”
“I know but that’s not what I really meant when I asked you for that. I just didn’t want you going after him yourself.”
“Which is what I did. But I know you meant physically since he’d have no idea why if I suddenly showed up in front of him. For all he knows you are behind this. And you would have been had you not been otherwise occupied.”
“Exactly! This really is brilliant,” Frankie stated. “Perfectly done,” she said, reading it again. “I’m so glad you’re the vampire I decided to approach. For many reasons.”
“Me too.” Kellen returned her hug. “So you feel up to going out?”
“You mean it? You think I’m okay?”
“I think you’re perfect. Come on. I want to see your reactions to your heightened senses and I’ll get distracted if you keep touching me as you are.”
She laughed, kissing the middle of his chest before bounding out of bed. “Can’t have that.” As they both dressed Frankie caught him watching her. “But once we’re back…” Frankie let her statement hang, looking at him with all the desire she was feeling.
* * * * *
Kellen stood behind Frankie, his arms wrapped around her waist. She leaned back against him and sighed.
“I’m not sure I would have stopped,” she stated. “If you hadn’t urged me to let go I might have killed him.”
“Maybe this time. But I don’t think it’ll take too long for you to rein yourself in. You didn’t fight me when I interrupted you.”
“You’re sure?”
“Absolutely. Don’t worry. I won’t let you feed alone until we’re both positive you can restrain yourself.”
“Thank you, Kellen.” She tilted her head for a kiss. “He tasted so different from you.”
“That’s how it is. Just wait until we travel. You’ll notice all the different spices people eat when you taste their blood.”
“I never even thought of that.”
Kellen chuckled. “Why would you? After all, you didn’t really intend on sticking around so I doubt you got as far as thinking about feeding.”
“You’re right. I didn’t.” She was quiet for a moment, staring at the house across from them. “I hate him!”
“I know. You do realize you could get away with killing him now, don’t you? If you wanted to. It would be perfectly understandable.”
Again she was silent. He was right. She could do that. Kill him and then vanish from the area for a hundred years or so. Now, thanks to Kellen, that was truly possible. “No,” she finally responded. “Not that he doesn’t deserve to die. Still, even with all the pain his drugs have caused me, I’m not a killer. Is that wrong of me?”
“Not at all. It’s what I thought you’d say.”
“And if I’d said I would see him dead?”
“I’d have loved you the same and helped you any way I could.”
“Kellen.” She turned in his arms to hug him tightly, unable to continue speaking.
“Shh. It’s okay. I understand.” He waited for the tension in her body to diminish. “Tormenting him, making him live with himself, could be that much worse.”
“He’s going to shoot me.”
“Remember everything I told you. Yes, it’s going to hurt like hell and you’ll probably pass out. It’ll make you appear to be dead. But I’ll be close and I’ll get you home so you can heal. As soon as your mind begins to function concentrate on where it hurts. I showed you how fast you’ll mend. I’ll be right there with you, helping talk you through it.”
“I trust you.”
“You sure you don’t
want me to go in with you? Just to be there with you. I won’t interfere.”
“You can’t, Kellen. It’ll get to him more if I’m there alone. I think he’d make excuses in his mind if you’re with me. You know, a big strong man breaking in and facing him down is one thing, me on my own is another.”
Kellen hugged her hard. “I know. I agree. Can’t help hoping you’ll change your mind though.”
“I can’t.”
“I know that too.” He sighed. “Okay, I’ll drop it. But I will remain close. And I will come after you if something goes wrong, say, for instance, they figure out you’re a vampire and know how to destroy you.”
“I’m not worried about that.”
“Well I sure as hell am!”
“No, wait.” She cut him off. “That came out wrong. I’m not ready to give up the future with you. I meant that I’m not worried that they’ll know I’m not going to stay dead after he shoots me.”
“Ah. I just don’t want to lose you.”
“You won’t, Kellen. I promise I won’t drag this out.”
“Stop. You take as long as you need. We have forever.”
Frankie smiled. She felt loved as never before. What a strange turn her life had taken. She was conflicted. No, finding Kellen was not worth losing her family. But keeping her family wouldn’t have been worth never being with Kellen either.
Kellen interrupted her thoughts. “It’s going to be fine, Frankie. Accept things for what they are and leave it at that. You didn’t make this choice so don’t beat yourself up over it.”
“So you can read my mind now?”
“At times. I didn’t mean to but you were broadcasting that last bit quite loudly.”
“I don’t know how I feel about that.”
“You’ll learn to shield your thoughts when you want to. You’ll also learn how to call for me within your mind. You’ll get used to silent communication. For now don’t worry about it. I won’t say more about what I hear unless you initiate it.”
“I wouldn’t have ever said that.”
“I know. It would have been on your mind though and you would have been debating about it. Aren’t you glad I heard it without you needing to say it? Just this once?”
