“What’s your name?” the human beside me asks. “I’ve never seen you here before and I’m sure I’d remember you.” His eyes roam over my body and I know he enjoys what he sees. I can smell his lust, and the way he’s looking at my tight red dress leaves little to the imagination.
“Can I kiss you?” I ask, cutting right to the point.
I fear the more I talk to him the less I’ll like him, so it’s better to do it now. He isn't bad looking and he’s the type of man I would have been happy to be with a long time ago. His eyes widen for a moment before he reaches for my waist and pulls me into him. I have to force my body to relax so that I can try and see if this is what I want.
“I like a woman who says what she wants.”
I close my eyes, prepared for what’s coming. My stomach turns, but I push on as I clench my hands into fists at my side so that I don’t shove him away. I need to see if this will be different. I need to know why I miss Valen’s arrogant remarks and why with my eyes closed it’s his face I’m seeing. I lean in a little as I wait for his lips to meet mine, but nothing happens.
Instead of warm lips against mine, I feel a whoosh of cold air as my eyes open and see Valen standing in front of me. He’s angry as he stares down at my pursed lips and he leans in close. The scent of warm syrup invades my senses and my body aches for him to come closer.
At one time I thought Bishop had a look that could kill, but he has nothing on my Valen.
Chapter 6
Valen
I don’t know how I found her so easily. If someone put a gun to my head I couldn’t explain it. But I was walking down the street and suddenly I turned in the opposite direction, nearly knocking people over. Something inside of me pulled me to this place, and I knew as soon as I opened the door that she was here and she was anxious.
Maybe it’s the slayer bloodline or the instincts that I’ve honed over the years, but it all led me to her. The city is big enough that she could have been in one of a thousand places, but she wasn’t. She was in the bar I knew I needed to go to and she was hungry for me.
“What are you doing here?” she says as she tilts her head back to look at me.
I can sense that she’s calm now and whatever stressed her out just seconds ago isn’t there anymore. She’s warm and pliable and I want to bend her over the stool and sink into her.
“Stopping you from making a mistake.” I ignore the man cursing at me as he walks away. He’s smart to leave me with her and not try and stake a claim.
“I don’t need you to interfere with my love life. I’ve got brothers to do that for me.” She juts her chin out defiantly, and I grab it with my thumb and forefinger.
“Watch that mouth of yours, princess. You wouldn’t want to talk like a tiger when you’re all pussy.”
I lick my lips thinking about what she’d taste like in the place where she’s wettest.
“You have no idea who you’re dealing with.” She jerks her head out of my grip but she doesn’t take a step back.
I wrap my arm around her back and pull her close to me just to piss her off. “I don’t see those brothers of yours here to try and stop me this time.” I lean close and bite her bottom lip before I pull back smiling. “I wonder how far you would have let me go in the corner of that theater. Would you have let me fuck you right there in front of everyone?”
Her eyes narrow at me, but I can smell her desire.
“How did you find me?”
“I just asked the guy at my hotel where I could find the most beautiful vampire.” She sucks in a breath and tries to push away from me, but I don’t give her an inch. “Shh. Don’t cause a scene.” I hold her even tighter as she uses all her strength to try and separate us. I lean in close and whisper in her ear. “Yes, I know what you are, but don’t be shy. Just a few hours ago you were grinding on my dick, so let’s not let a little thing like me knowing your secret stop you now.”
I press my hard cock into the apex of her thighs as I slide a hand down her back. I push her ass closer to me and I hear her breath hitch as my cock rocks against her.
“If you know what I am, then you must want something. Whatever it is, I’ll get it for you, just let me go.” There’s a small hitch in her voice she tries to hide, but I hear it.
“But you don’t want me to do that.” I say as I kiss my way up her neck. “You’re shivering and it’s not because you’re cold.” Her hands are no longer pushing at my chest but instead grip the collar of my suit. “You’re right about one thing, though. I do want something.”
When I lean back to look into her eyes she glares at me and grits her teeth. “Name it.”
“First I want to fuck that pretty mouth, and then I want you to climb on my cock and to relieve this pain you’ve been causing since I first saw you.”
If she could blush she would, but instead of looking at me with disgust I see her eyes darken as need and desire push out all of her insecurities.
“You don’t even know me.” Her voice is quiet, as if she doesn’t want me to hear her protest.
“Ravana,” I say as I release a hand from around her waist and run a finger down her neck. “I’m going to take you home and introduce you to my headboard. That’s all the hellos we need.” Am I being presumptuous, egotistical, maybe even overconfident? No. I’m taking what I fucking want: her, and I can tell she’s a runner. I have to make it clear that won’t be happening with me.
I take my wallet out and slide some cash across the bar without saying a word. Then I grab her hand and pull her through the crowd of people around the bar and towards the dance floor.
“What are you doing?” she asks in confusion as she looks at the exit and then back to me.
“Foreplay,” I reply when I pull her lush body against mine and we slip into the sea of grinding bodies.
The lights are low and the music is loud. I’m sure this is only heightening her senses to a level she can hardly stand. “Close your eyes,” I say, and she looks at me with a puzzled expression. “I need you to trust me.”
She holds my stare, and after only a second, she nods and does as I ask. I put my hands on her waist and turn her around so that her back is to my font and I place my hands on her stomach. The DJ is playing something new that’s got a deep bass and I sway with her to the beat. I put my lips to her ear so she can hear me over the noise and focus on what I’m saying.
“Just listen to the music and move with me,” I say, and she relaxes against my chest. “You can’t focus on what you see and what you hear in a place like this. Right now, let me be your eyes.”
She reaches a hand up and touches my face then rests it on my shoulder. Her ass moves against my cock, and if this were my bedroom it’s how I’d take her. Nice and slow with her body at ease. My fingers trail up her hip and to her breast. I dip my hand inside her dress and I can feel her nipple harden as my fingers pinch her slightly. She gasps but pushes her body against me even more and leans her head to the side. I look down at her bare neck and never in my life have I had a desire to bite, but I do now. Something dark inside of me calls out to take her and to become one. It’s her. I’m not acting like myself at all.
“Is this what you want?” I say as I place a kiss on the bare skin of her throat.
“More,” she says, and somehow I can hear the soft word over the thundering song.
I kiss her again and this time I run my tongue across the spot as I play with her nipple and rub my cock on her ass.
Something prickles the back of my neck and I look up in time to see a man on the other side of the dance floor watching us. He’s got his hands tucked in his pockets and he probably appears casual to everyone else, but I’m trained to know his kind. He’s a vampire, too, and from the look in his eyes he doesn’t like that I’ve got my hands on Ravana. Just when I’m about to tell her we need to leave, he turns his back on us and he’s gone. I don’t know if he realized that I knew what he was, or he decided I wasn’t someone he wanted to fuck with. Either way, my focus
is back on the most important thing and that’s Ravana.
She turns in my arms, her eyes still closed, and I lean down and press my lips to hers. The fire that began earlier erupts into an inferno. My hands go to her ass and I pull her tight against me as her arms wrap around my neck.
“I’m burning up,” she says between kisses, desperate for our bodies to be connected. “What’s happening to me? I’ve never felt this before.”
I reach up and grab a fistful of hair then pull her back so I can look into her eyes. Neither have I. “And you won’t feel it again.”
I carry her out of the crowd to the front exit as the bouncer opens the door for me. My hotel is just down the block and I eat up the space in no time. I don’t let her feet touch the ground once from the moment we left to the club to the moment we enter my suite.
I’m breathing heavy, but it’s not from exertion, it’s from the desire hammering all over my body, and I don’t have a choice but to listen to it.
“Take off your dress,” I order when I put her on her feet and hold her steady as she begins to sway. I stalk towards her, but for every step I take, she takes one back. “That wasn’t a question, Ravana. You’re going to do it, because we both know how this is going to end.”
Her back hits the window that looks out onto the city below. She looks beautiful with her swollen lips and her hair a mess. When I’m right in front of her and she has nowhere to go, her breath trembles.
“I want you,” she says and licks her lips. “I tried to see if I could feel this way about someone else, but it was impossible. This is unreal and I feel like I don’t have control of my body.”
I run my hands down her sides and kneel in front of her. “That’s because it’s mine.” I grip the material with my fists and yank it down off her body. “And if you want this rough, all you have to do is say the word.”
I look up at her as I slide my fingers into the front of her panties and pop them off of her like wrapping paper ribbon. I toss them to the ground and grab her thigh, putting it on my shoulder. She cries out as I bury my face in her pussy and run my tongue between her lips.
Her hands grip my hair tight when she starts to lose her footing. I put her other leg on my shoulder and she squeezes her thighs tight on either side of my head as I lick her. I’ve got her ass grabbed with both my hands as her bare back is against the cool glass. She’s getting louder as her climax approaches and my tongue works double time. The taste of her pussy is better than anything I’ve ever had and I’m eager for more. It’s warm and it’s sticky and I’m fucking hungry. I feel her getting wetter and she rocks against my face. She’s fucking my mouth like her pussy is god’s gift and I’m taking it as if it’s the goddamn holy grail.
She cums on my tongue and I growl for more as she calls out my name. She’s strong, but I’m stronger. As she tries to fight me to stop, I keep on going. “You’ve got another for me,” I tell her and keep on licking. It doesn’t take long until she proves me right and cums again on my tongue. I’m a man possessed and I’ve never felt so in tune with someone. It’s like I can read her mind.
I let her down slowly, making sure her legs can hold her, then I sit back and strip off my clothes. I’m kneeling on the floor as I take my dick in my hand and give it a few long strokes.
“Get down here and show me how a princess sucks a cock.”
Without hesitation she falls to her knees in front of me and she leans forward with her mouth open. Instead of teasing me and licking the head, she sucks half my length into her mouth before I’m hitting the back of her throat.
“Fuck!” I shout, and it echoes through the room.
The carpet burns into my knees as I thrust forward and her hands wrap around the length she can’t take. I feel myself so close to the edge as cum drips from my cock and she laps it up.
I gather her hair in one hand and grip it tight to guide her up and down. Her eyes lock on mine as she swallows my cock, and I swear to god I see heaven in that moment. Right then, I pull her off me and push her down onto her back. I shove her legs apart roughly as I slide the length of my cock against her clit before I enter her.
“This mouth is going to break me,” I say as I run my thumb along her bottom lip. Everything about her is likely going to break me.
I lean down and kiss her and taste my cum on her tongue. There’s still the scent of her pussy on my lips and it’s dirty and intimate. I’m beyond control and I can’t wait any longer as I thrust my cock into her dripping pussy.
Something tight clenches in my chest and I gasp as we connect. My eyes stay locked with hers and she’s just as surprised as I am as her fingernails dig into my arms. It’s powerful and exciting and something inside me shifts, an invisible bond flowing between us like magic.
We both moan when I move and the bond around us becomes tighter and tighter. I lay my body fully on her and wrap my arms around her back. I can’t get close enough, can’t be inside her deep enough, as our connection strengthens.
“What’s happening?” I ask, wondering if this is what happened every time vampires have sex.
“I-I don’t know,” she says as her eyelids become heavy and her body softens. “Don’t stop.”
I bite her bottom lip before I kiss my way down her neck and thoughts of my teeth on her tender neck spring to mind again. I’m shocked but turned on at the thought of tasting her. I was raised to be repulsed, but right now all I want to do is stay inside of her forever.
Her pussy is tight and I feel myself leaking cum in her with every thrust. Her hands go to my ass, and every time I pull out, she grabs me tight and brings me back in. I hold myself deep in her and grind against her clit.
Every inch of my body is alight with what feels like an electrical current. Her body against mine is the only thing I can focus on, and when she cries out, it’s as if it’s my own orgasm. I grunt and bury my face in her neck as my cock begins to empty. Her pussy pulses as my teeth graze her neck and I begin to bite down. That’s when I feel her do the same and I can’t control myself any longer. I bite her hard and another orgasm rockets through her, her razor-sharp teeth piercing my skin.
My vision goes black and my head is dizzy as my climax goes on and on. I don’t know what happens, but I taste something sweet right before everything goes quiet. The only sound in the room is the sound of us breathing and I have to blink a few times to get my sight back.
I lean back and look at her, and I’m surprised to see a small amount of blood on her lips.
“I’m so sorry,” she gasps when she sees the mark on my shoulder and goes to touch her lips.
I grab her wrist before she can wipe it away and lean down slowly and kiss her. The taste of the two of us mingled is somehow more intimate than what we just shared.
“Don’t you dare apologize,” I order, kissing her once again. “There is nothing that we did that was wrong.”
I stare into her eyes and wait until she nods before I wrap her in my arms and pick her up.
“What are you doing?” She looks around, surprised.
“Carrying you to bed.” I give her my cocky smile that I know she loves. “I’ve got a headboard you’ve yet to meet.”
I feel her smack my chest as I take her to the bedroom. I don’t plan on letting her leave for quite some time, if ever, once we’re in there.
Chapter 7
Ravana
My eyes fly open with the feeling that the sun is going to rise soon. There’s something inside each vampire that reminds us and keeps us safe, and that little feeling is growing stronger.
I don’t have to feel his body against me to know that last night was real. I lick my lips thinking about sinking my teeth into him again, and the ache to taste him has my body heating up. I still can’t believe that I bit him, but all of it feels like a dream. He tasted better than I could have ever imagined. He tasted like he was mine. He’d even bit me. Remembering his bite on me makes me clench my legs together.
I turn my head to look at him and wonde
r why I feel this pull toward him. What if this is only a one-night stand to him? The way he talked and handled my body, I had no doubt this was nothing new to him. Not to mention the hotel room. He’s obviously only passing through.
I lie there, soaking him in, wanting to remember everything. The thought of being apart from him makes an ache throb through my body. Did we mate last night? I’d wondered about it during the heat of the moment, but I didn’t sense his feelings or thoughts like I thought mates were able to do with each other. I debate sneaking out of bed and taking the coward’s way out. I don’t want to have an awkward goodbye and it’s already going to rip me apart to have to leave. It has to be a one-night stand because last night was not about making love. It was something primal. It was the first time in my life I ever felt such raw attraction and need. Maybe that’s why I’d never gone that far with a man before I was turned. I was picking the type of men I thought would fit into the cookie-cutter life I’d dreamed up in my mind.
Maybe things could be different with Valen if we were mated. He doesn't seem like the type that is looking for marriage and babies, but I can’t remember the last time I’d had such a wonderful night. It could be a fun fling for a while, but what about when he’s done sowing his wild oats? I can’t give him the things that most people want when they are ready to settle. I glance over at the hotel room door, debating what I should do.
“Don’t even think about it,” his deep voice rumbles, and it sends goosebumps over my body. He really does have a way with me.
When I turn on my side to look at him, my eyes go to the mark I made on his shoulder. He had a few others on his body I know I made, but the sheet is hiding them at the moment.
