She would never tire of his carrying her. In the bedroom, he set her on her feet, sliding her slowly down the length of his hard, muscled body. She explored those muscles, pulling up his shirt and dragging it over his head. Then she skimmed her nails down his chest, over his rippling washboard abs, to the button at the waist of his pants. Her fingers trembled but she pulled the button free. She pushed down the dark pants, along with his boxers, until he stood naked before her. And her breath hissed out between her teeth. He was so damn beautiful. She couldn't wait to finish that painting, but she wouldn't need it. She'd have him here with herâalways.
He was equally as busy pulling off her sweater and pushing down her pants. When she stood naked before him, even the bits of lace discarded, he groaned. His eyes bright with passion, he murmured, “I love youâ¦.”
He lifted her again, carrying her the last few feet to the bed. Jennifer flopped onto the mattress, locked her arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of her. “Prove it,” she teased. “Love me.”
He kissed her deeply, their fangs scraping against each other while their tongues mated. He pulled back, his eyes wide at the new sensation.
She smiled at his reaction and invited him to “Bite meâ¦.”
He shook his head, as reluctant as she'd been to give in to the new craving.
“It won't hurt me,” she promised. “And it'll join us completely. I've taken a part of you inside of me. Now you can have a part of me flowing through your veins as well.”
He groaned, but then he slid his mouth across her cheek to the hollow below her ear. He licked, like she'd licked him the night before, tasting her. But he didn't stop at her neck, he slid his tongue down over her collarbone and a tip of a breast, teasing the nipple.
She shifted beneath him, parted her legs and arched her hips. Her heart pounded hard with passion as she rubbed against his straining erection.
He replaced his tongue with a fang, lightly scraping it over her nipple. And she cried out at the exquisite torture.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked.
She nodded. “I hurt. I ache for youâ¦.” The tension had wound so tight inside herâ¦it was unbearable. She needed the release only he could give her. Lifting her legs, she locked them around his lean waist.
He reached between their bodies and slid a finger inside her. He closed his pale eyes and groaned. “You're so hotâ¦so readyâ¦.” So he thrust inside her, burying himself deep.
Jennifer lifted her hips, meeting each of his thrusts, pulling him deeper inside her. She ran her nails down his back, clutching him close.
He held her tight, his face buried in her neck. She felt the heat of his breath; it raised goose bumps along her skin. Then his fangs scraped over those fine bumps. He closed his mouth around her, the points of his fangs sinking into her flesh. He suckled, drinking the blood he'd spilled.
The pressure inside her broke free, and she shuddered at the force of the orgasm slamming through her. In her arms, his body tensed, and he came, spilling inside her even as her blood filled him.
He pulled back and licked his lips. His breathing labored, he only gasped in surprise. “That was⦔
More than making love. They had become oneâtwo souls united for eternity.
