Chapter 12
Corvinus
From the moment this fiery beauty came into my life and destiny put us together in her little matchmaking game we both knew the paths of our lives were never going to be the same.
Some way we’ll find a way forward, but it’s not going to be with her giving up her dreams or not being able to do what she wants to do, especially with the powers she brings to the table.
“Leave that to destiny. For now, apply, and let’s see which way she blows us in the wind.”
Embry snakes her arms around me and kisses me gently on the lips as her eyes close with exhaustion. “I love you, vampire. I’m not losing you over this, no matter what.”
I roll us onto our side and cradle her, not wanting to part with the heat of her body for the moments it would take us to find a bed. Right now, I just need to feel her breath against me as I fall into an exhausted sleep that is much needed for us to regenerate and make the journey home tomorrow.
A nip to my neck wakes me hours later and Embry is smiling widely at me. “Guess what?”
I arch a sleepy eyebrow. “What has you so animated? What time is it?” I ask hoarsely, while already glancing at my watch for the time.
Well past time to get up and start heading for home.
“I’m surprised we slept this long. I was planning to have already transported home by this time.
We must have needed some additional rest. No harm done.
We’ll still be home before first light.”
Her eyes go wide. “You slept so long. I was getting a little worried. Some of us have been up strategizing and thinking about ways to apply to the warriors without getting you fired.”
I sit up bringing her with me, nestling her onto my lap. “That’s the last thing you ever need to worry about. You let me deal with that. Right now, there’s something of dire importance that needs your attention.”
She smiles widely, her bright white teeth showing between the pretty lips that in two seconds or less are going to be tightly wrapped around my throbbing cock. She smiles up at me. I saw that image, vampire. I want this…
Embry doesn’t have to be asked, guided, or anything of the sort. She slides to her knees in front of me, extracting me from the front of my pants, her eyes hazy and lusty as she brings my cock out to play.
“Are you going to let me be in charge now, vampire?” she asks innocently, while teasing the tip of my dick with the slant of her tongue.
I’ll let her be in charge for as long as I can take it, and then the sexy little vixen is mine.
I give her a smile, not meant to tell her one way or another, but instead to leave her guessing and curious, just the way I like her.
But Embry does in charge exceptionally well, sliding down the length of me until the end of me hits the back of her throat. But she’s hardly through at all, she swirls her tongue, caressing every inch of my rod around the warmth and heat of her tongue and throat.
And when I feel my balls begin to tighten, now, I’ve had enough of her being in charge.
I reach down and scoop her into my arms, turning her over so I can slide beneath the tiny panties beneath her skirt.
“You’re soaked for me, love.” I slide my fingers through her wetness, and she pushes back against my hand.
“Still love, I’m in charge of your pleasure.
” Embry stops moving her hips as I stroke her sensitive slit, letting herself feel each and every stroke.
I tap a thigh. “Legs apart.” She does not hesitate at all.
I lean down and whisper next to her ear.
“Next time you’ll be cuffed to the St. Andrew’s cross or be lying across one of my spanking benches while I slide into your pussy. ”
I thrust deep, relishing in the sound of her moan as I hit that special little spot that makes her squirm with desire every single time.
I like her this way, so needy that she begs for me to touch her, to fill her, to sink my fangs deep and drink from the sustenance we share.
I’m far from done with my love. The more she moans, the slower I go, teasing, caressing with my fingers while grazing her with my fangs. Vampire…
Destiny got it so right when she brought Embry into my life and sealed her as my mate.
The thought of having her for an eternity causes every protective and primal instinct to reel.
I drive my cock deep while she squirms, unable to keep her hips still pushing back to accept all that I have to give, and the minute I feel her legs begin to tremble, my fangs sink deep into the side of her neck causing her to scream.
Vampire…
I hold her pulsing body close, allowing our bodies to calm slowly while I kiss the length of the creamy column of her neck with blood-stained lips.
When I finally turn her, she gazes at me with eyes that tell me everything I need to know.
I will burn the entire fucking world down for this female.
While she may be fierce enough to stand her ground and win with Devora, I’m not going to give that evil little bitch a chance to hurt my love.
The minute I’ve given her another supply of blood and replenished what I took, I wrap my wrist in gauze. “Let’s get something to eat and then head out. I’ll let Romano and Descallia know we’re going to be leaving shortly and back in Chicago. Did you hear from Lucianna?”
I stand to stretch, and she runs a purple painted toenail across the black marble floor.
She looks at me as though she doesn’t want to tell me or is deciding how to tell me.
I draw her from her seated position on the couch.
“This relationship, we don’t worry about what the other person will think.
We’re honest, we’re forthright about what we need from each other and in life.
Understand?” I ask, resting a finger beneath her chin so she has no choice but to look up to me.
“Anything you want in life, with few exceptions to your safety, you get, because you are mine.”
Her purple eyes flash…
“Embry?”
She exhales a deep breath. “Fine, I do want to apply for the warriors. I had Lucianna send me the application and it’s done.
Let’s see if the committee reviewing them even passes it along to you or the others.
I’m not going to hold my breath after everything that happened.
Who knows what half the people on that committee think about me. ”
I smile. “If that’s all you’re worried about, you have nothing to be worried about at all. Things have a way of working out, especially when destiny is at the reins.”
She reaches up on tiptoes and draws my face down to her.
“I love you, vampire. Now, I’m going to go and make you the most delicious breakfast. One of my newest skills is honing my half witchy abilities.
You haven’t said anything about that,” she says, padding into the kitchen while I follow the gentle sway of her sexy little ass.
Embry nods and says something undiscernible under her breath and a breakfast buffet fit for a king materializes in front of us.
I laugh. “I didn’t say anything about it, because it really doesn’t matter.
Human, vampire, psychic, witch, it’s of no difference to me at all, because all of them rolled into one makes you the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
They each make you the person that you are, love.
Besides, we always knew it was possible with your powers. Now you know.”
