Bat out of Hell (15 page)

“
Just
give
me
an
opportunity.
You'll
feel
love
like
you
never
have,
Ava.
”

Ava
sighed,
her
eyes
crossing
again
in
weakness.
“
I
want
to
trust
you,
but
I
feel
so
weak.
”

“
Drink
my
blood
and
you'll
grow
strong
again.
”
Gabriel
took
a
small
knife
from
his
pocket.

Chapter
Six

He
made
a
tiny
incision
on
his
wrist,
and
Ava
gasped
as
the
metallic,
rich
smell
of
blood
hit
her
nostrils.
She
felt
ravenous,
as
if
she
would
die
if
she
didn't
drink
every
bit
at
that
second.

Gabriel
held
his
wrist
under
her
nose,
and
she
moaned,
lapping
at
it
until
there
was
no
more
blood,
and
still
she
thirsted.

Ava
pulled
him
to
her,
kissing
him,
biting
his
lips.
He
let
her
suck
on
them
as
she
moaned,
the
rush
of
blood
in
her
mouth
exciting
her.
Gabriel
turned
her
on
in
a
way
he
had
not
before.
She
didn't
stop
to
analyze
the
realization.
He
threw
his
head
back,
exposing
his
neck
to
her,
and
she
dove
for
it,
pushing
him
down
on
the
bed.

Her
bite
into
his
neck
was
fierce,
her
teeth
growing
longer
as
they
scraped
against
his
neck,
and
he
moaned
like
an
animal.
She
returned
the
sound,
feeling
more
vital
than
she
ever
had
after
sucking
the
blood
dry.

“
I
want
you
now,
love,
and
then
we
will
go
away.
.
.
”

His
words
came
to
her
as
if
from
a
long
way
off.

“
I
want
you
to
make
love
to
me,
Gabriel.
”

He
growled
deep
in
his
throat.
“
We
are
bonded
now,
but
if
we
do
that,
you
can
never
go
back.
It's
what
we
did
not
do
before,
and
you
fled
from
me
and
died
with
your
parents
back
home.
”

Ava
whimpered,
something
about
his
words
ringing
true.
“
I
want
you.
I
want
to
be
with
you
always.
”

“
So
it
shall
be.
”
He
tore
her
dirty
dress
off
as
she
whimpered,
her
body
tingling
in
anticipation.
All
her
virgin
hesitation
was
gone
as
if
it
had
never
been.

Could
it
be
because
of
the
blood
exchange?

He
looked
into
her
eyes,
and
she
accepted
the
truth
of
what
had
happened.

I'm
a
vampire
now,
and
we
will
be
outcast
together.

The
realization
startled
her,
but
it
did
not
make
her
passion
for
him
waver.
She
knew
without
him
she
would
die
again,
a
more
miserable
death,
and
that
he
would
as
well.

He
left
his
waistcoat
on,
and
his
breathed
harshly,
a
sound
in
the
night.
She
watched
him
pull
his
cock
out
of
his
breeches
as
her
hands
reached
for
him,
wanting
to
touch
his
warm
flesh.

She
half
sat
up,
grasping
his
rigid
member
in
her
hands.

“
It's
so
hot.
.
.
and
large.
”
She
touched
it
in
wonder,
swallowing
in
fear
and
lust
at
the
thought
of
it
penetrating
the
space
between
her
legs.

“
Yes,
and
I
long
for
you
to
touch
me
as
long
as
you
wish,
but
we
need
to
hurry.
They
will
ransack
the
castle
soon
enough,
looking
for
you.
”
He
leaned
over
her
goose
pimpled
flesh,
taking
one
nipple
into
his
mouth
as
she
groaned,
electricity
shooting
through
her.
His
fingers
found
her
other
and
tweaked
it
into
painful
erectness.

She
arched
toward
him,
wanting
him
inside
her.
Her
thighs
slid
against
each
other
with
her
arousal.

“
I
don't
want
to
wait.
”

“
Me
neither.
” He ran his hands down her body, making her shiver.

He
lifted
her
hips,
squeezing
her
bottom
in
his
hands
as
she
sighed,
opening
to
him.

“
I
promise
we
will
take
our
time
in
the
future.
We
have
all
the
time
we
need,
Ava.
”
He
whispered
the
words,
his
eyes
glowing
like
kaleidoscopes
in
the
moon
drenched
night.

“
Yes.
”

He
thrust
into
her
at
the
single
word,
his
hot
thickness
filling
her
as
she
shouted
into
the
night.
