Sweeter Than Wine (4 page)

And she had. Night after night, she’d dreamed of Sebastian and the pleasure he would bring her, but he always disappeared with the morning light, haunting her dreams but abandoning her days.

“Sebastian!” She cried out his name as she neared a peak, Matt’s tongue seeming to drive right up into her. She clutched at Sebastian’s shoulders, dragging him downward.

His lips found hers, his fangs bumping against hers but not breaking the skin. His tongue swept inside her mouth, stabbing in and out much like Matt’s did below. She screamed deep in her throat as she came and Sebastian swallowed the primal sound as Matt swallowed every last slick drop of her climax.

As the lethargy of climax filled her, she felt herself being lifted and turned, to lie atop Matt’s muscular body. She let her hands roam over his biceps and pecs, amazed at the solid build of the man. She’d never touched a man who was built like this.

“You must work out.”

Matt grinned. “My brothers and I own a construction company. I still work with the crews now and again, but running in the woods will keep a body just as fit.”

“I can’t even imagine.” She smiled down at him as he lay beneath her, his hands stroking up her torso to fondle her breasts.

“It’s like nothing in the world. But as you age, you might learn to shift. Many of your kind can do it, and you won’t be limited to one form. You might be able to fly, sweet thing. I can see you as a graceful little owl, prowling the night. You’d be gorgeous.”

She blushed as he played with her nipples. The idea of flying made her think of Sebastian and she looked around to discover where he’d gone. She liked Matt, but she didn’t want to be left alone with him. She needed Sebastian near. He was her comfort, her guide and her…well, she didn’t quite know what he was, but he was important. She didn’t think she could do this without him.

She knew they expected her to bite Matt and drink his blood, but the idea gave her the willies. Sure, she felt the hunger and her fangs were nice and long now, but she had no real desire to bite this man. For one thing, she didn’t want to hurt him, and for another, she didn’t quite know how to go about biting anyone.

Her fears calmed somewhat when she found Sebastian leaning against the wall at the side of the bed. He had a front row view of their naked bodies as she draped herself over Matt. Sebastian’s eyes glowed red and the way he looked at her body made her unbearably hot.

“What now?” She asked Sebastian, but Matt answered.

“Now I get to fuck your sweet pussy.” He moved upward, supporting her hips exactly where he wanted them and found her center with his hard cock. He was built big and very solid, and when he pushed her hips down gently, she took him inside with a bit of caution. “Work it down slow and easy, sweetheart. Take me all the way.”

This whole experience was moving too fast, but she couldn’t stop it. She wanted this, no matter how much it shocked her human sensibilities. There was another side to her now, an earthier side pushing her to take him and mark him, bite him and drink him down. She didn’t understand the force driving her, but she was powerless against it.

Christy took Matt by degrees, pulsing to spread her lubrication on his hardness, wanting him inside her in a way she hadn’t wanted a man in years, if ever. She’d never wanted Jeff this badly. Certainly not after he’d begun to get irrational. Even before, their sex life had never been this hot. Nothing could compare with this in her admittedly limited experience.

Sebastian’s gaze followed all and made her belly clench as she took another man right in front of him. It was wicked and deliciously exciting. She’d never known she had 27

exhibitionist tendencies, but this experience showed her all kinds of new things about herself and her shocking desires. She felt energy coming from Matt in a way she couldn’t explain if asked, but she felt it washing over her, warming her and giving her strength.

Her eyes met Sebastian’s and he nodded as if in approval.

“You feel it too?” she gasped.

“It is what sustains us, Christina. The energy of life.” Sebastian’s voice drifted across her senses, an additional caress.

She didn’t fully understand his words, but now was not the time to ask questions.

Matt demanded her attention, sliding home with a definitive shove. Seated fully, she let him steer. Matt was stronger than any man she’d ever known and he seemed content to thrust up into her while she concentrated on just how to go about biting him. Sebastian prowled near, his gaze burning as he watched Matt fuck her. With elegant hands, he positioned Matt’s head and moved his shaggy hair out of the way.

“Use your tongue to find the pulse.” His fingers traced the beating pulse she could easily see on the big man’s corded neck. No wonder Sebastian had enlisted him for her first meal. He was probably easier to feed from than a regular person. “Lick the site where you will bite. Your saliva will act as an anesthetic and sanitizer, to both deaden the area and protect him against infection from the incisions. You can also use your mind to lessen the pain of the bite, though that skill will strengthen in time.”

“I don’t want to hurt him.” She panted as Matt stroked inside long and hard. She was so close.

“I will help you this time, little one. I will cloud the pain from his mind while you find your way. Lick him,” Sebastian coached. “Take your time and find the sweet spot.”

She leaned in and followed Sebastian’s instructions. After a quick search with her lips she felt the one place where his pulse was nearest the skin and thought she knew what Sebastian was talking about. She licked Matt’s salty skin, loving the taste, and was gratified to hear him groan. It didn’t sound like he was in pain at all. On the contrary, she could feel his excitement and his passion, and she instinctively tugged at it with her mind, 28

surprised when she felt his passion climb higher, as did hers. She was feeling everything this beautiful man under her was feeling and it energized her.

“You are already feeding off his psi energies. Good. Now, you must complete the bond with blood.” Sebastian cradled the back of her head while she found the spot with her tongue and then positioned her newly sharpened teeth. “Do it now, Christina.”

Sebastian’s soft urging spurred her on, while Matt’s thrusting pushed her passion to a level she had never before experienced. She bit down.

Her mouth flooded with a sweet, coppery, wild flavor and she wanted more. Matt’s blood trickled into her mouth as she lapped at his salty skin. She sucked at the small incisions she’d made with her new fangs so as not to lose a single drop of the rare vintage. She was as gentle as she could be, not wanting to hurt this beautiful man who was giving her his life’s blood, his strength, his passion and his lust.

She swallowed once, twice, three times before she exploded into the most intense orgasm of her life. Matt shot into her in hot jets as she collapsed against him, her head buried in his neck, licking at the small wounds she’d made.

Sebastian gave her a moment to calm before he moved. He lifted her head away to inspect his friend’s neck. She was a neat eater, but too prim. She’d barely sipped and she needed more for her first real feeding. Plus, she’d been so overwhelmed, she’d neglected to properly seal the wounds, but that would come with practice. For now, he would help her.

Sebastian leaned in and used a slight brush of his healing energy to close and heal the tiny wounds. By morning they would be gone. Matt met his eyes as he pulled back, Christina still cradled to his chest.

“She’s special, isn’t she?”

Sebastian tilted his head. “You could say that.”

“She didn’t feed properly. She barely took a sample.”

“I know.” Sebastian quirked a smile at his friend. “I don’t suppose you’ll object to hanging around a bit longer?”

“Are you kidding?” Matt ran his hands down Christina’s lithe body. He was still inside her, though he was spent for the moment. “She’s a sweet fuck. I don’t mind having more of her.”

She stirred on his chest, sitting up. “Keep talking about me like that and you won’t get any more.”

“Whoa, truce, babe. I meant it in the most complimentary manner. You’re incredible, Christy. Truly.”

Her eyes flashed with humor. “I suppose I’ll forgive you this time. If you’ll just make me come like that again.” Matt answered her teasing by tweaking one of her rosy nipples.

Sebastian grasped the other and tugged in tandem with Matt. He leaned in to kiss her, sweeping his tongue into her mouth. He loved the taste of her and the tang of Matt’s shifter blood flavoring her mouth made the kiss even more exotic. He lapped at her mouth while she squirmed on Matt’s cock. Knowing the other man was still inside her made the kiss even hotter.

Sebastian was feeding off their energies. It would probably be all he got this night, but if the next round was anything like the first, it would be more than enough to sustain him. Matt fucked her, already up for more, but Sebastian was directing this little show and he had a different treat in mind.

“Get off him and turn around,” he ordered as he drew back. “I’m going to show you an alternate feeding site.”

Matt groaned as Sebastian lifted her off him. “You gonna partake, old buddy?”

“Maybe. But only enough to show her how.”

With that assurance Matt lay back on the bed and spread his legs, helping Christina kneel over his chest. His tongue zeroed in on her pussy, licking deep and long. Sebastian watched her reactions, knowing Matt was driving her wild.

“Some
were
can shift parts of themselves. Their tongues for example. I’m told it drives their women wild.”

She moaned. “Drives this woman wild too.”

Sebastian chuckled as he settled opposite her. He could see her struggling for control as Matt’s big hands roamed over her body, wherever he could reach. The sight was entrancing, but Sebastian had to focus. He needed to teach her, to watch them, though heaven knew, he’d much rather be the man inside her. Still, watching them brought a kind of satisfaction he hadn’t expected and a pulsing arousal he could do nothing about.

Not yet, at any rate.

“There is a strong pulse here.” Sebastian traced a spot on Matt’s inner thigh with one long finger.

“Hey man, that tickles!” Matt chuckled as he went back to licking her pussy.

“So sorry.” Sebastian knew he didn’t sound the least bit sorry as he took Christina’s hand and made her stroke the area on Matt’s thigh. He then moved her hand so she could cup Matt’s balls. Sebastian tried not to think about how her hands would feel on his own member, or how much he envied his friend at this moment. “Now I want you to suck him, and watch me closely. When he comes, I want you to swallow every last drop.
Were
come will nourish you and make you stronger than most of the newly turned.”

Sebastian stroked her hair, looking deep into her eyes, noting the pupils dilated in pleasure. He could see Matt moving under her as he licked her. The sight made Sebastian’s temperature rise, but he had a job to do here. He couldn’t let their ardor distract him. Not yet.

He pushed Christina’s head gently downward, his hand cupping her nape as she moved toward Matt’s straining cock. Sebastian felt his own body clench as she took Matt in her mouth. She tongued him shyly at first, her wide eyes looking up at Sebastian as if for approval. The mixture of innocence and passion in her gaze was hotter than anything he’d ever experienced in all his long years.

Her midsection contracted jerkily as Matt did something to push her higher and her eyes glazed over. A moment later, she was sucking in rhythm, so lost to sensation, Sebastian had to tug on her hair, to get her attention. “Now watch.”

Sebastian released her and leaned in to lick the area he’d shown her on Matt’s thigh.

He tried to concentrate on the pounding pulse he could both see and hear, but Christina’s 31

soft moans brought Sebastian to a painful arousal. He paused to find her watching him as he prepared Matt’s skin for the bite. Her lips were cherry red around Matt’s cock and Sebastian knew Matt’s tongue was buried deep in her pussy as she squirmed over the man. Sebastian didn’t think he could get any harder, but the strong swishing of Matt’s

blood through his veins was a siren call Sebastian couldn’t refuse.

He bit down clean and deep as Christina moaned, holding his gaze. Rich, red,

blood poured over Sebastian’s tongue and he swallowed once, gratefully, sharing the intimacy of the moment with Christina. Never before had he felt such a pull, such a sharing. This was all new, and very enticing. Her eyes pled with him as she neared her release. He could also taste the need in Matt’s blood and the slight trembling of his limbs.

Sebastian knew he had to release them both to ecstasy. He reached for both of their minds, and gave them a gentle push over the edge into orgasm as he drank one more swallow from Matt, then sealed the wounds with a little zap of his healing energy.

Sebastian watched in satisfaction and a bit of envy as she drank Matt’s come.

Sebastian dreamed of the night she’d lick his cock like that. It would be soon, he promised himself, but first he had to prepare her for her new life. Letting Matt fuck her and feed her was an important first step. It would make her faster and stronger than most vampires. She’d need those skills when the time came to confront her past. That was the only reason he allowed this interlude. He was doing it for her. All for her. So that she would be strong and sure in her own abilities.
