Read Passion After Dark Online
Authors: J.a Melville
Salem was sitting on one of the bar stools and he eyed us off before all his fur stood up on end and his eyes widened. With a hiss he leapt down and took off. Beau walked towards us his tail wagging but whe
n I reached out to pat him, he sniffed at me before backing up.
“
What’s wrong with them?” I asked Dominick.
“
I’m sorry cara but now that you are technically dead your animals will not see you the same way anymore. You will need to think about what you want to do with them and this house, because I don’t advise you come back to live here until you feel you can be around Cassandra without killing her. Everyone that you are friends with, anyone you associate with must never learn what you are. What will you do with your editor?”
God, I
’d forgotten about Frank too. What was I going to do with Beau and Salem if they were afraid of me now? Dominick was right, I couldn’t stay here until I could be around Cassie and not think of her as food.
“
Where will I go Dominick? What will I do? I don’t know what to do. Everything is going to be so different.” I cried, suddenly seeing the downside of being vampire. My life had changed forever. I couldn’t be around my friends until I wasn’t a threat to them and eventually I’d have to distance myself from them forever when they aged and I didn’t.
“
I’m so sorry cara that I have done this to you. I regret that you are now paying the price and your life will change forever. You must stay with me so I can help you and take care of you plus until we find out what exactly your connection to Fabian is, I don’t want you alone. I don’t trust what he may do to you.”
“
You won’t mind if I crash with you Dominick?” I asked and he chuckled quietly.
“
Your choice of words amuses me cara but no, you are more than welcome to stay with me and I will very much enjoy having you in my home, my arms and my bed. It has been a long time since I’ve slept with anyone but it will be very special to me to have the woman I adore sharing my bed and sleeping in my arms.” He kissed the top of my head. “Things will sort themselves out in time. You have already displayed remarkable control and I think you are going to make a much better young vampire than I was when I was first turned. I will do some research when we get home to find out who this Katarina was and who her daughter was if there’s any documentation on her. Now come cara, do you still wish to make love?”
I curled myself up against Dominick and inhaled his gorgeous scent. Even as a vampire, I could still
smell, if anything, my sense of smell was heightened and he smelled so good, so sexy and intoxicating and I pushed my concerns aside for the time being and pulled my top over my head revealing my bare breasts before popping my jeans open and slipping them down my hips, my legs, until I could step out of them. Naked before him, I stepped up to him and slipped a hand into his still open jeans so I could slide his huge cock through my fingers.
“
God cara, what you do to me.” He whispered before tearing his t-shirt over his head and pulling his jeans down so he could kick them off across the floor. With both of us naked, he lifted me onto the kitchen bench and parted my legs so he could step between my thighs.
His fingers touched my clit and I jerked at the jolt
of pleasure that shot through me. He bent his head and his tongue licked up my seam and I lay back on the bench, propped up on my elbows so I could watch him.
Over and over he li
cked my pussy before moving back to flick his tongue over my clit. My excitement grew and my limbs started trembling. I just wanted his cock in me. “Dominick, fuck me.” I begged him, desperate to feel him fill me up, for all that huge steely length of him to stretch me to my limit. I would never get enough of him.
He ignored me an
d continued to tease me with that skillful tongue of his until I writhed on the bench top. He dipped into me and licked from my ass to my clit again and with a loud cry my orgasm hit and a rush of fluid ran from me where Dominick lapped it up.
He straight
ened and I could smell myself on him, his face wet from my release. He pulled my legs over onto his shoulders and with his hands holding my hips steady, he surged forward and we both watched as his cock with that amazing cobra tattoo disappeared inch by inch into me.
With forceful thrusts
he began to fuck me, our bodies slamming against one another. Slowly he increased his pace until he was pounding into me and I cried out as each thrust drove him hard against my cervix.
He slipped a couple of fingers bet
ween us and rubbed over my clit which sent me into sensory overload and my back arched, my fangs descended and when Dominick bent towards me, his fangs showing too, he latched onto my shoulder as I buried my fangs into his and with the combination of the pain from feeding from one another and the pleasure of our bodies fucking, I climaxed. My muscles tightened around his cock rippling along his length until he tore his fangs from me and cried out my name just as I felt him begin to spurt into me.
When we h
ad finished shuddering and pulsing through our combined release, Dominick straightened and pulled out of me, reaching for some tissues to wipe me down so I could get up and dress.
We both pulled our clothes on, silent but with our eyes locked on one anoth
er and I wondered if it was possible to love anyone more than I loved Dominick.
“
I love you baby.” I wrapped my arms around him to hold him close and he buried his face into my tangled mane of hair.
“
I love that you call me baby cara. It makes me feel that I am important to you, that it is an endearment.”
“
It is Dominick although you are hardly a baby. You look like a sexy man and you fuck like a stud.” I ran a hand through his black hair and he grinned.
“
I am only a stud for you cara. No other woman drives me to distraction with desire for her. I knew from the moment I first saw you and smelled you that you were the woman I was destined to spend eternity with. Ti amo bellezza.”
I smiled at him before stretching up to kiss his jaw. “
I’d better put out food for Beau and Salem and go pack some clothes for staying at your home Dominick. Do we get to sip off Cassie again before we leave?”
He threw back his head and laughed
. “You are such a delight il mio amore. You can have a tiny sip off Cassandra and then I will need to feed her some blood and alter her thoughts just a little so she’s back at the point where we first arrive. Once we have talked to her for a little while and you tell her you will be staying with me for a few days, we must go back to my home. We have to get some sleep. We can survive without it for a while but we will weaken cara and you are a young vampire, a very young vampire. You must rest.”
Once I
’d fed my cat and dog I followed Dominick back to Cassie and watched as he took a small drink of blood from her then signaled for me to drink. I did as he did and put my finger and thumb on her wrist to monitor her pulse as I fed and although I badly wanted to keep feeding, I stopped when I felt the first hint of her heart beat slowing.
Dominick h
ugged me and told me how much he loved me, so I guess he was happy that I had controlled myself and not emptied my house mate of all her blood.
He bit his wrist and ordered Cassie to drink which she did and once she had taken enough blood to heal the punc
ture marks, he quietly told her to that we’d just arrived and that she would have no memory of us having split up and she would be pleased to see us but happy for me that I was going to spend a few days with Dominick.
Once he asked her to wake, she did, b
linking for a moment before seeing them both and squealing. “God Allie, it’s so good to see you. You’ve been busy with your man haven’t you?” She hugged me and I tensed up as the smell of her blood filled my nostrils but my fangs stayed where they were supposed to and didn’t try to descend.
“
Geez it’s the middle of summer and you feel so cool. How do you do that?” She asked and my mouth opened but I couldn’t think of anything to say in response to justify my lower body temperature due to me being dead.
“
That’s my fault.” Dominick said. “I had the air conditioning on a very low temperature in the car. Allegra was complaining about being cold.” He touched my arm. “Sorry cara, you do feel cold.” He gave me a look of apology although I could see the laughter shining in his stunning eyes.
“
Cassie, I’m just here to pack up some of my things. I’m going to stay with Dominick for a few days ok? Can you look after Salem and Beau for me please? Will you be ok here by yourself? I’m sorry but he’s asked me to stay and I really want to go.” I gave her a rueful look.
“
Well, I will miss you Allie. It’s quiet in the house when you’re gone but I have Beau and Salem. I’ll take care of them and I can’t blame you really. I’d want to stay with my boyfriend too if I had one as hot as Dominick.” Her eyes shifted to him and I laughed. If only she knew his secret. Well, if only she knew mine too for that matter. “You must be in love.” Her voice interrupted my thoughts and I gave her a questioning look. “You look amazing. You’re almost glowing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you looking so incredible.” She said.
“
Gee thanks Cass. So all the rest of the time I’ve looked like crap?” I asked.
“
Of course not silly but you are glowing now.” She lowered her voice and whispered to me. “The sex must be fantastic.”
Alongside of me Dominick cleared his throat to disguise the chuckle he
’d been unable to hold back since of course he’d heard Cassie’s comment and I turned to him, shooting him a warning look. He wrapped an arm around me, pulling me back to him and his lips pressed against my cheek.
I heard Cassie sigh and she was staring at Dominick with a dreamy look on her face. Damn, was she crushing on my man now? “
Your brothers’ are single aren’t they?” She asked him.
‘
Oh hell no.’ I thought to myself. We are not going there again and letting her anywhere near Fabian, Lucian or Damien and having her used and abused by one or all of them. I wasn’t going to allow her to be treated like that and potentially have her mind destroyed from them constantly wiping her memory clean of their time together.
“
They are single Cassandra but seriously they aren’t the kind of men you want to associate with. They don’t treat women very well.” Dominick was trying to explain to my house mate but she wasn’t looking too convinced.
“
If they just want some fun, I’m up for that.” She grinned and I couldn’t help laughing at her persistence.
“
I’m going to pack Cass and keep your hands off my man.” I joked.
“
I’ll help you cara.” He took my hand and it was Cassie’s turn to laugh.
“
I don’t bite Dominick.” She laughed and turned from them to head into the kitchen.
“
Fuck, we didn’t clean up in there.” I whispered.
“
It’s ok cara. I gave it a quick wipe down while you were feeding your animals.” He cupped my cheek and dropped a quick kiss on my parted lips. “Come, lets get you packed and us out of here.”
He led me up the stairs and I pulled out my bag from the walk in closet and started throwing clothing into it plus everything I thought I
’d need for a few days at least. My eyes fell on my sneaky stash of chocolate and I felt a moment’s sorrow that I would never experience the pleasure of eating it again.
Dominick saw my face and when he asked me what was wrong, I pointed to the chocolate and explained to him what made me feel a lit
tle melancholy.
“
I’m sorry cara that you have lost some of the things that gave you pleasure as a human.” His voice was filled with regret but I threw myself into his arms and wrapped my arms and legs around him.
“
I don’t regret it Dominick. I have you and that’s all that matters.” I kissed him and he pulled me closer, his lips closing over mine.
The passion which seemed to simmer just below the surface rapidly increased between us and I rubbed against the hard ridge of his cock I could feel through his jea
ns but he pulled back, holding me at arm’s length when I tried to wrap myself around him again.
“
Please cara not now. Much as I would love to fuck you, I would prefer to wait until we are back in my home and you are in my bed. I wish to fuck you, then hold you in my arms and keep you close to my body as we sleep. Does this idea please you cara as much as it will please me?”
I shivered at his words. God but would I ever tire of listening to his voice and the way he spoke? Well, I had eternity to find out.
“That idea pleases me very much Dominick.” I went back to hastily throwing things in my bag including some make up although I wasn’t sure if I’d be going anywhere where I might need it. Once I was packed, I turned to him with an expectant look. “Ok, I’m ready to get out of here now.” I grinned at him.
He took my bag and with his other hand, he entwined his fingers with mine. “
Come on cara, let me take you home.” He said and with a big smile on my face, I let him lead me down the stairs so we could say good bye to Cassie and get back to his home so he could deliver on that promise he’d made to me earlier.
Chapter Twenty One.
Dominick.
Dominick inched his way to the edge of his bed and quietly climbed out, not wanting to wake Allegra. She was sleeping the true sleep of the vampire, the sleep of the dead, her body not moving and of course not breathing, so she seemed so still, so silent. He wanted her to rest as it was important for her to do so when she was such a young vampire.
He stretched smili
ng when he saw the fading scars on his chest where his bellezza had ripped him up with her fingernails like a little wild cat as she’d reached orgasm again and again. Fuck but he still couldn’t fully grasp that he had her back in his life, that she lay in his bed, that she was his for eternity.
The only thing that cast a shadow over his happiness was Fabian and what he could do to them or maybe do to Allegra. Dominick didn
’t really think his sire would be happy to give up his power to someone else and certainly not to a young vampire and a female at that.
He had no idea what Allegra intended to do with her newly discovered power over Fabian and the fact that she could hurt him. Was it only him that she could hurt? Could she hurt any vampire, maybe even hurt
him?
These were all things that they would have to discover but for now he needed to know what the history was between Fabian and Allegra. His claim that she was the mother of a girl he
’d sexually and emotionally abused 500 years ago before destroying her mind from repeatedly wiping her memory clean seemed almost hard to believe but what Allegra had been able to do to him, the cuts on his body were impossible to ignore or explain.
Had he intended doing that to her? Was it some game on his part, his need
to toy with others? Why would he have fucked her, wiped her memory and fucked her again and again? That was not Fabian’s usual pattern of things. He fucked once or one night, then got the hell out of there as he had no desire to be bothered by women reluctant to let him go. No one had ever tied his sire down and no woman ever would.
Dominick knew Fabian would hate that he had
lost the opportunity to fuck Allegra too. She had teased him by fucking in front of his sire and she’d given him the blow job only to then tell him that he would never get anything more from her.
Fabian hadn
’t taken it well and the only reason he hadn’t insisted she fuck him was because she had been able to hurt him which had driven him off and although he’d tried to act calm, Dominick could see he was quite shaken by Allegra’s surprising show and her ability to cut him.
With one more glance at the
gorgeous woman sleeping in his bed, he left the room to go and get his laptop which he brought back into the bedroom so he could be there incase Allegra woke and sitting down at the desk he had in the room, he started to google Katarina and Fabian to see what he could find online about them.
An hour later and he had found bits and pieces
of information but not as useful as he’d hoped. Katarina was actually Katarina Schmit, a German, Croatian woman whose husband had died when their daughter Carmella had only been a few years old.
She had held a position of power in the small village of Regensburg where she had lived.
It was believed that she was a witch and practiced various forms of black magic.
There wasn
’t much else about her until her daughter had suddenly died at the tender age of 17 from a mental condition. No doubt that would have been when Fabian messed with her.
Nothing else was av
ailable until the early 1600’s when the witch trails of Europe led to the death of Katarina. She had been documented as declaring that she would avenge anyone who had betrayed her and her daughter so Dominick could only assume that Fabian had been one of the ones on her hit list at her death and now all these years later she was back, reincarnated through Allegra. Why she hadn’t had any powers when Allegra was human, he had no idea but from what his sire had said, she hadn’t been able to be mind controlled by him.
Dominick had something to tell his bellezza when she woke but for now he was needing more rest. He got up and climbed back into bed curling himself up behind her, pressing his nose into her neck, smelling her sweet fragrance and he closed his eyes
letting sleep claim him.
Allegra.
I woke just as the sun had set and there was nothing more than that grey look to the skies as the last traces of light were leaving the day.
I stretched and looked up at the heavy timber framing and smiled when I rememb
ered that I was in Dominick’s bed. I turned my head and he was behind me, sleeping still. Carefully I turned and faced him, my eyes moving over his features studying every single gorgeous one of them.
His long black hair had fallen over his brow and a lock
of it nearly covered one eye. His ridiculously long lashes which no man had the right to have fanned his cheeks as he slept and unable to help myself, I reached out and gently pushed the lock of hair off his face. As soon as I released it, it fell forward again and I grinned at what a futile effort that had been.
I moved my fingers down the front of him, over the muscles of his chest, dragging my nails through the light covering of d
ark hair which narrowed down to a thin line which disappeared under the sheet. Gently I traced the barbed wire tattoo from one collarbone to the other and then finally dipped down his chest, stomach and followed the happy trail of hair until I had to reach under the sheet to continue tracing its path.
I looked to see that Domi
nick was still asleep which he was and I gently pushed the sheet lower until his cock was revealed to me. He was semi erect and I traced over what I could reach of his tattoo, smiling to myself when he began to harden and lengthen as I watched. When he was fully erect I circled him with my hand and slowly ran my fingers up and down his hard cock.
I felt a shift in Dominick, it was only subtle, but he
’d tensed or something and I glanced up to find his stunning, penetrating blue eyes narrowed as he watched me, the blue looking even more intense as his long black lashes framed them.
“
God you’re so beautiful.” I whispered, leaning forward to touch my lips to his and he smiled.
“
You’re the beautiful one cara. Ti amo il mio amore. Now that you have woken me, what do you wish to do with me? Fuck me I hope.” His expression looked so eager I burst out laughing.
“
I’ll fuck you Dominick if you let me bite you.” I grinned and pushed against him until he had rolled onto his back.
“
Do you only want me for my blood cara?” He gave me a lazy smile and I giggled at him. Damn, I just giggled and I’m sure giggling isn’t a very vampire like response.
“
I love you baby and I want to fuck you and bite you then fuck you again.” I whispered, nipping at his perfectly shaped bottom lip. “You know it’s not fair that you’re so unbelievably sexy.” I sat up to straddle him before kissing him.
“
Well what are you waiting for cara.” His voice was husky and I licked along his lips before reaching for his cock and lining it up at my pussy. I sank down, feeling him fill me, his thick, hard, long dick filling me so completely and I sighed when he was as deep as he could go. My muscles tightened around him and I heard Dominick groan.
“
Dio mi aiuti cara, your cunt is needy tonight. Come il mio tesoro I need you to ride me, fuck me don’t be shy.” There was a note of urgency in his husky voice and I raised myself until just the tip of his cock remained inside before dropping down again, slamming him against my cervix.
I settled into a rhythm of
rising and lowering myself, riding his dick until my orgasm drew closer. Dominick was making little moaning noises and I knew he was getting close to coming.
I rotated my hips just as he reached between us and rubbed over my clit and I cried out as I starte
d to come. I dropped forward on his chest and my fangs descended just before I bit down on his neck and as his blood filled my mouth, he gave what sounded like an agonized yell and I felt his body jerk just before he lost control and I felt him pumping into me.
He bucked under me as he kept coming in response to me biting him and when I finally released him, he bit down on my shoulder which sent me into another climax.
When we both finally lay quietly, me still on top of him, his cock hard and deep inside me, Dominick wrapped his arms around me and in one swift movement, he rolled us over until I was beneath him.
He propped himself on his hands and just stared at me for a moment, his eyes moving over my features. “
God but you’re so beautiful cara. I need to fuck you again now. Will that be acceptable to you?”
I lifted my arms and wrapped them around his neck. “
I think that would be acceptable.” I smiled at his choice of words. “I love you Dominick, so much. You are stuck with me for eternity, you know that don’t you?”
His face lit up in that big smile of his with
those perfect white teeth on display. “I’m counting on it cara. I told you that from the moment I saw you I knew you were the one. When we’re talking eternity, I had to be sure but I knew you were the only woman for me and that’s never going to change il mio tesoro.”
I raised my head from the pillows to kiss him and Dominick took over, his lips closing over mine, his tongue invading my mouth and he pressed me back into the
pillows with the force of his kiss as his passion rapidly increased, causing an answering burst of excitement in me.
I felt his hand move down between our bodies and his fingers delved into my pussy as he tested my readiness for him. He groaned when he felt how wet I was and he nud
ged my thighs apart, settling between them where I felt the heaviness of his cock probing for entry to my body.
He tilted his hips back before slowly easing his way into me, filling me, stretching me until he was buried deep and pressed against my cervix.
He paused for a moment, his eyes locked on mine as he lay on me, his cock as deep inside me as he could go.
Finally I shifted, wriggling under him to encourage him to move and with that sexy smile of his, he pulled back until just the head of his dick was
still inside me before with a deep groan from his throat, he gave up on the slow and gentle and lunged hard, slamming into me, pushing me up the bed with the force of his thrust.
I wrapped my legs around his hips and
he tucked his hands under me tilting me up to him and all the gentle love making was gone. Dominick began to pound into me, fucking me, our bodies slamming against one another.
