With a gentle cooing whisper, he shushed me as his hand slid behind my neck. The coolness of his fingers lingered against my skin. Lightly they caressed the warmth my skin provided for him. Richard held me inches from his face. The coolness of his breath fanned against my skin, haunting and tempting me. My eyelids dropped at the soft sweet floral scent of his breath. My head tilted back under his control. My heart began to pound loudly, pulsating hot fire through my veins. My breath was now coming out in quick gasps as I struggled to breath. The sanity I once held so tightly to had left me. I was not under the spell of this beautiful vampire.
With each beat of my heart, my blood called out to him. Tempting him. She gave herself willingly to him as the vein in my neck arch to kiss the lips of this vampire. He inhaled deeply, intoxicating himself on the savory scent of my blood. I felt the coolness of his lips as they pressed into a kiss, touching the vein which contained the woman. The woman who desired him.
The blood that coursed through my veins was a woman in need of her lover. She called to him. Pleaded to him. Arched herself to him. Begged him to take her so passionately.
She caused the muscles in my body to tremble as she pushed my will aside. I felt the coolness of his tongue as it slowly traced the vein up to my ear. My senses began to run wild. The world began to spin around me as their love affair began. My body waged war against my own will, surrendering itself to every touch and smell of this inhumanly beautiful vampire.
The once cold lips were now warm as they grazed over my mouth. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. His mouth left mine only to find my neck. His lips touched my neck again as he inhaled a deep and solemnly breath. Ever so slow and gentle, his lips moved down my throat to the base of my neck. Fire burned within me as I felt the softness of his tongue next to my bare skin.
I was prepared to force the protest from my mouth as I inhaled deeply. Then I felt it. A sensation like no other. The sharp cold teeth grazed gently over my bare skin. A tremor ran throughout me, exciting every nerve in my fevered body. My mouth opened as I exhaled slowly. My body trembled against his lean statuesque form.
“No.” I whispered in a ragged breath.
“Yes.” He hissed softly. His words burned against my skin.
My heart raced. My mind whirled. Hot flames began to rush through my fevered veins. Intense burning and desire welled within me. In that one moment. I knew I wanted him. I wanted all of him in that one unfathomable moment. It was his spell. The bells of fear tolled again. Ignoring them, I left all caution behind. My will was not strong enough to save me now. I had fallen deeply and unendingly under his control. Richard had left me with a need that only he could fulfill. A need that screamed throughout my body as his cold hands felt like fire tracing over my skin.
The coolness of his fingers feathered against my cheek. Richard’s crystal blue eyes peered deeply into mine, piercing into my very soul. Searching. Seeking out an answer I was not willing to give him. The hunger was clear in those diamond-like eyes. A hunger which wanted more than what my blood could offer. It was the type of hunger that needed to be quenched and satisfied. The hardness of his need pressed against my body, making me completely aware of his desires.
With one gentle motion, his lips were on mine again. Searching. Taunting. Desiring more. He called to him the woman of desire inside of me, beckoning her to him. Slowly, his lips left mine. I exhaled a ragged breath. The softness of his lips were now on my neck. Tasting. Richard was unleashing the she-wolf inside of me. I shuddered as his lips parted against my throat.
Richard inhaled a quick breath. A soft growl rumbled from his throat. In one instant, one breath of a second, I felt it…
