Adult Excerpt
She tried to turn away from the
circle of his arms, scared the tears she felt inside would betray her and fall
right in front of him, but he grabbed her and held her still. Their gazes
locked in silence.
“I-” He stopped and let out a low
breath, the hardness in his eyes melting away as he held up his wrist to her
lips. “Go ahead.”
She narrowed her eyes on him. “You
know where this is going.”
“Yes.”
Her mind screamed in protest, the
very essence of her knowing that this was the last single thread between them,
holding them together above an ever-widening chasm. And if this couldn't hold
them together, nothing would.
Her fangs itched and her body
hungered for what he offered despite the danger it presented. As she grabbed
his wrist and bit down hard, she hoped it was enough.
The taste of him, tart and rich,
hit her tongue and she groaned as the blood slid down her throat. Decker fell
back on the bed and she sank to her knees in front of him with her mouth still
wrapped around him.
Desire and hunger hit her full
throttle and she drew deeply, letting his flavor roll over her. She released
him and swiped the two points with her tongue and let her hands work in a
frenzy to get him naked.
He moaned loudly as her hands
roamed over his bare skin and she relished the hot slide of skin on skin as her
head lowered again and she pushed him down flat on the bed.
Kneeling in front of him on the
floor, she pushed the corded muscles of his thighs apart, tangling her fingers
in the dusting of hair on his legs, delighting in the sensuous rasp. His
erection was instant and it stabbed out greedily in front of her.
He was hot and hard and he hissed
as her hand brushed the base of his cock to push it aside for what she really
sought.
“Vesper!”
He cried out as her fangs sank into
the hollow of his leg, right where it met his body, finding the strong source
of nourishment in the most erotic of places. He undulated against her, trying
in vain to get the swollen length closer to the pull of her lips. She smiled
against his flesh as she drank and trailed a hand over to capture the straining
appendage.
Decker growled in satisfaction as
she pumped the hardness of his shaft in time with each draw of her mouth. Her
body hummed with desire and her blood heated, sending a rush of wetness to flood
her core.
Each draw was deeper than the last
and his breathy gasps of pleasure spurred her on. Her skin prickled with heat
as the hunger abated and the desperate need for his touch took over. She
wrenched her mouth free and sealed the area, pulling back to look at Decker's
face.
His eyes were closed and his head
was thrown back as he moved against her hand. The rough pull of lust urged her
even more and she replaced the hand on his cock with her mouth.
He nearly came off the bed with a
hoarse shout as he threaded his fingers through her hair. Vesper growled in
agreement and continued the erotic slide of her tongue on his hard length.
“Vesper, please!” he moaned, “I
can't-I need to be inside you.”
Her body lurched in response and
she let go. Strong hands gripped her arms and threw her face down onto the bed.
He slid in easily from behind and she thought she would die from the delicious
feeling of fullness.
She cried out at the first powerful
stroke and grabbed fistfuls of the bedspread as she hung on, bracing for each
pounding thrust. His hands held her hips steady as he drove into her, keeping
her pulled back tight against him.
“Please,” she panted, “Harder! I
want more!”
She felt his hand slide up her
spine and tangle in the hair at the base of her neck. He held her fast in every
direction, not letting her move by even an inch. It was so good, so hot, so
hard. He pulled her head back, firmly but gently, and deepened the length of
his thrusts, the maddening rhythm turning her bones liquid with fire. The sweet
coils of burning tension inside her were winding to a fever pitch and there was
nothing she could do but ride the delicious crest of the wave as she came.

Vesper's tight sheath clamped down
on his cock as she came and the high-pitched cry of her orgasm sounded like
thunder in his ears.
He snorted, gasping for air as the
last of her spasms rippled through her and down his shaft. He felt a wide roll
of darkness up his back and the pull of his own hunger kept him moving within
her, unable to stop. The desire was so raw, so fierce, so binding; he needed to
see its reflection.
He withdrew and flipped her over
onto her back, settling her into the comfort of the now-rumpled bedspread. He
shoved her thighs apart and sank back inside her as deep as he could possibly
go, sliding forever into sweet oblivion. She closed her eyes and moaned his
name.
“Open your eyes, Vesper,” he
grunted. “Look at me.”
Her lids snapped open and he could
see the desire ringing the violet depths. He thrust harder and was rewarded as
her pupils dilated further, turning from deep amethyst to black. He groaned.
She was so beautiful. Dark. Luscious. Beautiful. She was everything.
He could see the throb of her pulse
beating rapidly at her neck as her body strained to meet each hard thrust. It called
to him. Her blood ran wild in her veins, he felt it. Her blood. His blood.
Primal need swept through him as he
pumped steadily, soliciting breathy grunts of pleasure. Everywhere his hands
touched, he felt it, the blood coursing through her, making her hotter than
ever. He wanted it. He needed it.
The dark tide of orgasm welled
within him and he thrust harder, each pound of his body possessing her,
claiming her. It wasn't enough. He needed to be closer, needed to feel the very
core of her.
Mindless, his lips pulled back in a
feral snarl as his mouth watered for the taste of her. Vesper's eyes were
liquid pools of twilight and he rocked against her, ready to take the final,
desperate plunge.
His sac tightened in painful bliss
and he gathered her up in his arms and sank his teeth into the luscious curve
of her neck as his release raged through him in a hot blaze.
Fireworks erupted in his brain at
the taste of her blood on his lips and he groaned, drinking deeply. She was hot
and sweet and tasted of all things dark and desirous. He shuddered at the last
hard pang of his orgasm and collapsed upon her, his mouth breaking free.
His breath slowed from hard gasps
to shallow puffs and he swiped his tongue across his lips, wiping away the
wetness. He stiffened as the fog of pleasure receded. Blood.
