Desire at Dawn

by Fiona Zedde

  Yes, she wanted Olivia. She wanted her with the clan. She wanted her happy. Kylie had become hopelessly addicted to the way Olivia warmed her with the barest touch. But it was the love that had blossomed unexpectedly between them that she wanted most, the soft and hard feeling.

  This was what she was reaching for.

  Olivia moaned, a quivering and low sound that raked over Kylie’s senses.

  She drew a hissing breath and scraped her blunt fingernails over Olivia’s hair and down the back of her neck. She gripped her hard, pressing that incredible body against hers. Olivia moaned again, and Kylie swallowed.

  The enclosed car filled with the sound of Olivia’s sighs, the whisper of flesh and clothes and leather as they lay down in the seat, mouths still pressed together, tongues entwined, bodies heating in the small space. Olivia’s spicy and hot scent slithered around her, seduced her sharpest teeth from their resting place.

  Her fangs curved against the plumpness of her lower lip, ready to taste, to feed.

  Olivia slid her hand up the back of Kylie’s T-shirt and sank her fingernails into the flesh there. Kylie hissed then turned them on the seat so that they were side by side with Olivia’s leg thrown over her hip.

  She felt so warm and vital, the need pulsing between them like a living thing, plumping the flesh between Kylie’s thighs and hammering lust into her post-hunt flesh. She thought she had been satisfied. But with the lash of Olivia’s moan in her ear, her hard nipples prodding at Kylie’s through the two layers of cloth, the salty wet scent of her cunt under the dress, Kylie knew want again. Knew hunger. Knew the ache of her fangs pressing out and begging for a place to bury themselves.

  Olivia called her name, closed her eyes, and turned her face away as tears leaked from between her eyelids.

  “Touch me,” she begged softly. “Please.”

  Kylie slid her hands under the short dress, spanning the slender but firm thighs, pushing the dress up as her hands rose, revealing the narrow hips, the thick bush of her sex, her belly, breasts. She tossed the dress and it landed somewhere behind her in the car.

  Olivia was naked against her, the lithe body moving impatiently against the leather seats. She smelled divine, an intoxicating mix of the hunt, her scent, and the blood she’d taken. The pulse of desire inside Kylie grew stronger.

  She kissed the length of Olivia’s neck. Olivia grasped her hair and held her close, breathing and vulnerable, trusting Kylie with her pleasure, with her forgiveness, with her tears. Kylie licked her throat, traveling low to kiss her collarbones, the space between her breasts. Then she pulled a nipple in her mouth. Her tongue wet a circle around the puckered brown tip, licking it, stroking the velvet flesh while her own body drowned in its want. Pussy lips swollen, the tingling between her legs grew to a deep and insistent throbbing.

  She kept her tongue on Olivia’s breasts, licking and tasting them, taking her time to build sensation in a way she knew Olivia liked, using her tongue as a paintbrush to cover every inch of flesh on her breasts, her nipples, until Olivia’s hands were tight in her hair and the sound of her breathing was heavier, harder, in need.

  But Olivia didn’t beg. Although her body was tight as a spring and her thighs moved restlessly against the leather, although the smell of her pussy was getting more and more lush in the air, she only waited for what Kylie could give her.

  Kylie lifted her mouth from the succulent nipples and slid her hand between Olivia’s thighs. She was soaking wet.

  Olivia sobbed and gripped her hair. Then it was Kylie’s turn to moan and fight the heated flare of want through her body, fed by the simple touch of Olivia’s pussy, proof that she wanted her, the way the tight wetness eagerly swallowed her fingers. She stroked and Olivia threw her head back, moaned, circled her hips.

  She tipped her knee toward the roof, inviting the deeper thrust of Kylie’s fingers inside her, tilting her hips, sighing, a woman in the grip of lust. Of surrender. The smell of her pussy in the car was thick and heady, an addiction to her senses. Kylie heard herself grunting with each push of her fingers inside Olivia, a deeper stroke, a firmer fuck, her control reined tightly but the bliss of it no less intense.

  Three fingers deep, she caressed the seductive button of Olivia’s clit with her thumb, wanting to dip lower and taste her, feel the slow and inevitable build of her passion against her mouth. But more than that, she wanted to see Olivia’s face.

  Although Olivia tried to turn away, burying her face into the seat as the sensations took her, Kylie firmly held her jaw. She wanted to look at Olivia and see all of her. See what she wanted to hide, what she wanted to give. After a brief struggle, Olivia accepted Kylie’s grip and stopped trying to turn her face away. Then Olivia was delirious in her pleasure, lips damp and parted, her throat shuddering with her breaths, eyes closed as incoherent half-words tumbled from her. She was beautiful. Wrecked by passion.

  Kylie felt the sweat under her clothes as she fucked her, her sex swollen to bursting between her legs. Olivia moaned. Her pussy pulled Kylie’s fingers deeper, her nails sinking into Kylie’s scalp, painful, but dragging her closer to her own peak.

  Olivia called out Kylie’s name as she came, shuddering violently between Kylie and the back of the leather seat. She licked her lips, looking up at Kylie as if dazed. Kylie squeezed her clit once more then gripped her hips, pulling them firmly against hers.

  “You’re mine.” Kylie growled and sank her fangs into Olivia’s throat. Scarlet nourishment exploded over her tongue.

  Olivia bucked under her, crying out as the red bridge of blood drew them closer. Kylie’s body tilted off the edge of orgasm and fell. She was quivering and delirious, her pussy throbbing in her jeans. She lifted her head, licking her lips.

  Olivia opened her eyes, pink rimmed but bright from her satisfaction. Her gaze was clear now, the sadness pushed aside for the moment.

  “And you belong to me,” Olivia said, her voice breathless but strong.

  She moved her hands to the waistband of Kylie’s jeans and undid the thick leather belt, the button, the zipper. She slid her fingers over Kylie’s wetness and stroked her to trembling.

  “Always.”
