Panting, Nika tore her mouth from Raj. The impressions spiraling through her were unbelievable. She had such a clear awareness in her mind of what Raj felt, she could sense him…feel the tightness and sensitivity of his flesh as his body burned for her. It was almost as though their bodies were merging—the entwining passion seemed to grow and pound within her.
She had never imagined that being with a man could feel this good—she only knew she never wanted it to end. And, she desired—no, wanted—more. “You’re still dressed,” she complained breathlessly. She wanted his pants gone and she really wanted the hard ridge that had been tormenting her through the layers of his clothing buried deep within. The added ecstasy of sharp and rhythmic internal pinching within her nipples and between her thighs escalated her hunger. Nika’s entire body burned with the intensity of her need.
“Goddess, Raj, don’t make me wait any longer I can’t take it. Ohhhh.”
“Oh, sweetling, there is so much more I want to do with you and if I take my pants off, it will be over for you too quickly. I want to savor you.” Raj was having his own problems concentrating. Nika’s hands slid up and down his chest, raking back and forth over his nipples as he had shown her. Each pass of her sweet flesh caused a chain reaction within him. A tight, sharp vibration shot from his nipples to his groin and caused his cock to twitch and expand with impatience.
Feeling as though the ripe head of his shaft would burst from each roll of exquisite sensation—he was confused. As a Vampen, his ability to be in command of his lust was legendary. This loss of control stunned him. His reactions had to stem from a side effect of her soul tendrils and his urgent need to feed. Not from his body’s response to her soft hands raking over his skin and the feel of her cradled beneath him.
No. Raj chastised himself. There could be nothing different about this feeding. It was all about his requirement for psychic power and her need to survive. All she could be to him was a willing body to slake his Vampen hunger, a means to an end.
Shaking his head in disgust at his inner turmoil, he pressed his shaft against the sensitive flesh between her thighs and lowered his mouth to slowly suck one of her nipples between his teeth. Suckling her, he played for long minons with the tight bud, lightly biting. Breathing deep, he savored the unique and wonderful scent that was Ahnika, her fragrance reminded him of sunshine and the slightly tangy salt smell of the ocean.
Her breasts were magnificent, soft and plush and more than he could fit in one handful. Glorious burgundy nipples surrounded by the tempting satin circles of a subtly lighter color were large and puckered into hard nubs, which grew longer and harder the more he paid attention to them. It seemed as though she had been made strictly for his pleasure. His mouth covered first one breast and then the other as he divided his attention between them.
Moaning and frantically clutching his head, she arched into his delicate touch as he teased and tasted her, rolling her pert nipple against the roof of his mouth and then releasing it to torment the other. Her escalating cries of passion filled the cave as she screamed his name over and over. Begging him to take her.
Slowly, he kissed his way down her body, taking the time to ravish each inch of her skin, sipping first at her belly button and moving on to lave the lush arch of her lower stomach. The soft curls hiding her sweet-scented mound were moist with yearning and he drew more of her body’s stimulated perfume into his lungs. Arousal blasted through him, causing a sharp ache in his chest and the burning need to mate with her increased.
No. Not mate, I can’t mate with anyone until I find my Life Companion. It was only the need to feed from her that increased.
“Open for me,” his voice hoarse as he commanded her, “I want to see you.”
Timidly she did as he demanded and moved her legs wider. He put his hands between her thighs and parted her labia. Rumbling started deep in his throat at the vision of the rosy, swollen tissue of her labia. Weeping for him, her sweet cream oozed from her tight passage. Lifting her hips so he could position her for his mouth, he buried his face between her legs—intent on capturing her essence on his tongue.
Squealing in astonishment, she whimpered and tried to shut her thighs at the first slow swipe of his tongue over her clit. Raj used his elbows to keep her open to him, refusing to allow her to escape this pleasure. Closing his eyes, he lost himself in the taste and pleasure of this incredible woman. Ignoring the pull of her fingers in his hair, he worshipped her rich flesh with his mouth. Flickering and stabbing against her, then plunging his tongue into her liquefied core, he forced her now uninhibited response higher.
He smothered attention upon her hardened bud, dragging his tongue over her again and again until her hands held him in place instead of trying to push him away. Sobbing and thrusting her hips to meet him, she finally succumbed to his fevered caress.
With every previous Vampen feeding in his life, Raj had felt the power sizzle and grow around him. But Shalan’s potion seemed to work especially well on Ahnika—the energy pouring from her to him seemed to build in magnitude far surpassing anything he’d felt before. With the roll of potent force came a separate craving, the longing to please and claim this woman, as he’d never wanted another. Not just to feed, but to be share her passion. The thought flitted through his mind and he groaned, humming his discontent against her flesh. If only. He tried to convince himself it was just the added experience of the ever-present soul trails. Those tendrils were an integral element of her sensual nature. He loved having both her body and her psychic essence combined in such an erotic way.
“I can’t, oh Goddess, it’s too much, Raj. Ohpleaseohpleaseoh!”
Smiling at her wanton pleas, he kept his mouth over her and carefully pushed a single finger into her tight sheath. As he expected, he found the thin membrane and used his fingernail to carefully break it as he used his tongue to vibrate her to peak in an attempt to distract her from the pain. So consumed by Ahnika’s taste, by his own needs, he totally forgot his plan to keep her a virgin.
Ahnika came with a wild scream. Arching her back in sensual agony, her hips left the pallet in an untamed shift that threatened to remove him. Lightly holding her hips, he followed her movement and continued his sensual assault until she begged him to stop. Energy poured into him from her long, rolling climax. Her shields dropped and the waves of heat and desire crashed through him, tugged at him with a brilliant flash of color and madness. In his delight at her response, he ignored the sharp, pinching pain in his nipples.
Desire burned hot and heavy in his bloodstream and he felt he would explode if he didn’t take her now. Rising to his knees, he used a small bit of the psychic energy she released within him to rid himself of his pants.
Raising himself over Ahnika, he positioned the pulsating head of his cock in front of her wet slit. The knifelike stab of pleasure roaring through his body was a new experience for him. It seemed as if the red and blue whispers of sensation emanating from her soul twisted, turned, enveloping him a firestorm of passion beyond his control. The swirling vortex seemed to draw him down, connecting him to Ahnika.
In a heated rush, he lost all mental control over his body. Bending to take her lips in a hot, wet kiss, he used his lips, teeth and tongue and fed as if starving from the tangy sweetness of her mouth. Wild for him, Nika arched her sweet cunt up against him, trying to force him to slip into her passage. The minon his cock entered the moist and swollen passage into her body, everything descended into chaos.
A starburst of power exploded behind their eyes and energy slammed through Ahnika and into Raj like a blast of heat lightning. Shocking red and blue bolts of power drove into him and exploded in every cell of his body. Bellowing in mingled astonishment, pain and pleasure, he convulsed in reaction trying to cradle her beneath him as if he could protect her from the onslaught of untamed force.
In a vibrant backlash, the power rolled out of him and slammed back into her, quickly returning to him in a spiraling burst of energy that his greedy coc
k acknowledged with a powerful surge of length and thickness. Completely shaken, his mind was far beyond comprehending the fact he had found his mate and had somehow failed to recognize her from the beginning. Any thought of making sense of this failing was quickly driven out of his brain with his body’s demand for complete attention.
He felt his Companion Links boiling up through his skin, emerging from the end of his cock with an unbearable burst of pleasure-pain. The sharp wrench of mating links breaching the tips of his nipples caused him to flex his hips and he thrust to the hilt, his balls slapping against her buttocks.
Ahnika yelled long and loud. She could feel the erotic bite of pain at both her breasts and between her thighs, as a fierce reaction seemed torn from her soul. The burning sensation and sharp desire coursing through her body signaled her links rising within her. The Companion Links shifted beneath her skin as the first of the delicate gold chains broke through the flesh at her nipples and clit.
The sharp pain of the links initiation screamed throughout her aching body and was immediately replaced with pleasure and a soothing merge of spirits between her and Raj. Unable to grasp a coherent thought except one… I was right! The man in her dreams so long ago was indeed her Life Companion. Her link mate.
Struggling to pull in enough air to supply her lungs, her breath left her on a gasp as her flesh started to throb where the links left her body. Strung tight, she pulsated with the need for more—more of what she had no idea, as his cock still filled her completely.
“Mine!” Raj growled. “Mineminemineminemine.”
“Yessss,” Ahnika hissed. “Oh, Goddess! Yes.”
Raj’s entire being was obsessed with claiming the woman he had discovered as his Life Companion. Blind with overwhelming emotion and the physical need for his mate, he surged forward with the all-consuming urge to conquer and possess. His. Bound to him for their life spans, she would always be at his side or close enough to call—he finally felt complete.
Her internal muscles pulsed around him, gripping the thick flesh of his cock. She had been made for him. Only for him. Bracing his hands on either side of her head, he demanded, “Look at me, my mate. Keep your eyes on mine as we join our bodies and our lives together.”
Ahnika whimpered and complied. The eyes she lifted to meet his were glazed with passion and need. The need for what only he could give her.
He started to move within her, slowly at first, and then increasing the cadence until he was slamming against her softness. Their bodies made wet, slapping sounds as they strove to become one. Initiating the links’ vibration for the first time, he added a humming sensation to her breasts and pussy while he pummeled into her soft channel. The joining and use of the links proved to be too much, sending her immediately to a hard peak. With a strangled cry, she exploded around him as he convulsed over her with an echoing bellow of pure satisfaction.
Opening the links created a tie allowing them to share in each other’s pleasure. They merged into a single consciousness, feeling their own orgasm as well as each other’s. Acting as a conduit for his hunger and her yearning, the fused connection of their links caused their bodies to pulse with the tempo set by his shaft. The sensations spiraled between them, building, returning, crashing through the two of them, and exploding in a burst of light.
Raj lay stunned. The shock of discovering Ahnika was his Life Companion combined with the amount of power that poured into him from their mutual climax overwhelmed him. Knowing only his link mate would be able to take his climax and convert both her peak and his to the psychic energy a Vampen required, he’d never have believed how amplified the psychic strength would be.
Looking at his sleeping mate, he lovingly used his power to cover their bodies with warm blankets. Since he now had energy to spare—and he would never again need to worry about his next feeding—he used a simple thought to simultaneously light a fire and convert the small cave into a sumptuous nest. Between one blink of an eye and the next, colorful carpets covered the floor and silk drapes hid the stone walls and glowing stones were set into the ceiling. Zylar’s moons were out in the night sky, but their radiance did not extend to the chamber. He didn’t want Ahnika to wake in the dark in a stone chamber. If he could do anything to prevent it, he wanted nothing here to remind Nika of the time she’d spent in Brac’s prison.
Torn between the need to take care of Brac and his atrocities immediately and the knowledge that it would have to wait, he understood they wouldn’t be going anywhere. As a newly linked couple, he and Nika would have to remain in their hideout for three bi-nons. The insatiable mating fever created between new Life Companions would keep them locked together in passion and make travel impossible. Even in sleep, the subtle vibrations of the links would keep them constantly aroused during this time.
Already he hungered for her. Careful not to awaken her, he bent over and used his minimal healing skills to reduce the bruising left by Jondil and to remove any residual soreness from their mating. She had been a virgin and he had not used her body gently. Raj would have her feeling only pleasure from their joining, not pain. Never pain. In a minon he would wake her with a kiss but first, he would contact his brother and warn him about Brac.
Mica, can you hear me?
Raj? Where are you? Where have you been? What happened, little brother? You are much stronger along our mental path. I have no need to force the connection.
I have found my Life Companion, Mica! One of the benefits to our mating appears to be a magnification of my powers.
Raj, this is wonderful! Who is she? Where? How did you find her? Ahhh. It’s the woman you’ve been seeking.
Yes. It’s a long explanation and one I have no time to go into right now. Already the fever is making this conversation difficult. Ahnika and I will be in Tanar in four bi-nons. With my expanded powers, we should be able to travel quickly when the mating fever has diminished. I only want to warn you—
Wonderful, I will tell the others and arrange a mating ceremony for—
No. That is not what I need to warn you about. The ceremony will to have to wait. I’m contacting you to tell you Brac is doing evil things, Mica. Very evil things. I don’t want to go into detail about what I have learned without Ahnika adding her story. There are many reasons she needs to be completely involved with bringing him to justice. You will not believe what he has done. I know you were going to look into his dealings as I had such a bad feeling about the man. Don’t do it, Mica. Don’t alert him to any suspicion. He is dangerous and may strike at Nyssa or Tala…or Tar, for that matter. Please be careful and wait for us to explain what he is up to.
Ahnika stirred and pressed her back against Raj’s chest as she woke. He had obviously gathered her into his arms after she’d fallen asleep. The advantage to this position occurred to her as she rubbed her body against him and felt his hard shaft pressed against her ass. Pulling the hand resting on her waist up to cover her breast, she rocked her hips back against the warm heat of his cock and she burned with a fierce need for her mate.
Raj gasped. As he was linked to Mica, the sound and a projection of what he felt spilled through their psychic link.
Raj. Break the link! I got your message and will stay away from Brac. Get back to your mate but sever the link. There is only so much brothers need to share!
Mica’s laughter rumbled in his head as Raj closed the link between them and turned his undivided attention to his mate. Her body was restless, hungry for his touch. Anticipating the pleasure they would share over their mating time and the things he would teach her both now and in the many life cycles to come, he kissed the back of her neck with tenderness.
Moving his hand at her breast, he used his fingers to trace the delicate link chains hanging from her nipples. Flicking a finger over the tip, the swaying metal strand could be used to stimulate and tease. Enjoying the feel of her in his hands, he opened the links’ path between them and used their mystical connection to create the feel of tongues lapping every one of erogeno
us zones. While he lapped and laved her ear, plunging and retreating into its small recess, the link-created tongues stroked the bend of her elbow, behind her knee and one metaphysical mouth laved the sensitive spot at the nape of her neck, and another teased along the indentation of her hip.
Ahnika gasped, her body thrown into the fire of the links’ appetites and Raj’s touch, every nerve ending and sweep of flesh was teased into screaming arousal. No thought but to let Raj mold her body as he would, her only desire was to keep the incredible sensations flowing over her.
He lifted her leg up and settled it over his thigh, spreading her open so he could position his shaft to rub along her slit, she moved with him, encouraging…demanding. He chuckled in her ear and she felt the added link sensation of suckling mouths at her breasts. Biting, laving and pulling at her turgid nipples, the mouths joined their efforts to the symphony of pleasure Raj played over her body. Keeping each touch constant, never taking anything away, he added a new torment to her over-stimulated senses.
“Oh, Goddess. Raj!” she screamed. When pulsing vibrations started within her pussy, he pushed her to madness, with the teasing presence of his cock slipping into her vagina an inch, then out, breaching her again. In. Out. The excruciatingly slow tempo made her scream in frustration. She would kill him if he didn’t—
“Fuckmefuckmefuckmefuckme,” she shouted. Words she didn’t think she’d ever say were pouring from her, explicit in their demand.
With a primal growl, Raj flipped her onto her stomach and maneuvered her into a crouch with her head down and the rounded globes of her sweet ass sticking up in the air. He moved to bind her long hair to one side, delighting in the sight of it spilling across her back and hissing when it whispered over his groin as he rearranged it. Pausing to relish the sight, until Nika started to complain, he thrust forward and impaled her with his thick cock, filling her to overflowing.
