Chapter 11 #2
Besides the fact that she was gorgeous. Or that her cunt tasted sweet and divine. Her blood was like an ambrosia, addictive and delicious.
Dru had tucked them into the bed underneath the covers to allow Tomesha time to recover.
With it being her first bite, Dru didn’t want to overdo it with her.
She trailed her fingers down the soft skin, and for the time she’d spent with Tomesha, not once had she thought of her mission and why she was even in Butterbush.
That was a problem.
She’d been sent here for a job, and daydreaming about this woman in her arms didn’t fit into her plans. As she’d told her warriors, they’d indulge tonight, but then tomorrow, it was time to hunt down the traitor.
“Why did you let me sleep?” Tomesha’s husky voice broke the silence. She blinked and pushed up from where she lay. The blanket fell away, revealing her tantalizing body.
“How do you feel?” Dru ignored her question.
She zeroed in on the area where she’d bitten her.
The skin was darkening. Dru released a curse.
She reached out and gently caressed the area.
There would be a bruise by morning. She’d tried to be as gentle as possible, but the moment her blood had touched Dru’s tongue, she’d almost turned savage.
She’d had to reel in the emotions that had whipped through her and regain control of herself.
Not once in all of her years had she ever lost control when drinking from a human.
“My neck is a little sore, but I’m told that is normal,” Tomesha said. A visible shudder went through her as Dru touched her skin. She licked her lips and smiled. “You aren’t what I expected.”
“Oh?” Dru arched an eyebrow. She was curious as to what Tomesha told her. “How so?”
“I don’t know. When they told me I would be given to a general, I imagined someone older, harsher, not as beautiful—” She paused, those brown eyes of hers wide.
Dru chuckled and reached for her. Even though she’d only known her for a few hours, she already didn’t want to stop touching her. She ignored the little voice in the back of her head.
This wasn’t uncommon. Two individuals could have chemistry between them. It didn’t mean they were destined to be together or anything.
Dru swallowed hard.
Tomesha wasn’t her mate.
She was just a human who was here to service her. She was being paid to be here with Dru. Any other time Dru wouldn’t have cared, but now it had her wondering.
Had Tomesha been faking?
She did work for the madam and had probably received training. She frowned as she thought of Tomesha’s body writhing on the bed while she’d feasted on her delicious pussy. Or how her muscles tightened around her fingers when she’d reached her climax, or how the juices had flowed from her.
No, Tomesha couldn’t be acting. No amount of training would portray the pleasure she’d experienced or the shouts, cries, and the way her body had responded to Dru.
Dru glanced back at her and found those beautiful eyes staring at her. She was obviously waiting on Dru to respond to something she’d said.
“What did you say?”
“I said, you took such good care of me that I need to return the favor,” Tomesha said. She pushed the blanket away from Dru and lifted her leg over to straddle her.
Dru straightened herself and rested back against the pillows. “Believe me, I got much pleasure watching you reach your climax.”
“See, that is what I’m talking about. I figured you would be a hardened vampire who’d just want to use me.” Tomesha brushed Dru’s hair away from her face.
“Is that what you’re used to?” Dru asked softly.
Tomesha’s expression shut down. She blinked and looked away for a moment. Dru immediately recognized the signs that it was time to change the subject. She didn’t want their time together to be awkward. She was enjoying the company of her little human.
“Well, miere, you aren’t too far off. I’m very old. I’m sure compared to you, I’m ancient.”
Tomesha turned back to her, the hint of her smile flickering. She studied Dru.
“What are you, forty?” Tomesha asked.
Dru barked a laugh. Vampires lived very long lives compared to humans. She rested her hands on Tomesha’s waist. It was hard to concentrate on the conversation at hand when a beautiful woman was sitting naked on top of her.
“I just celebrated my two hundred and twenty-fifth birthday,” Dru admitted.
Tomesha’s mouth dropped open at the announcement.
A couple of weeks ago, Dru had celebrated the anniversary of her birth.
She’d received a letter from her parents wishing her well.
She smiled at the thought of her parents still holding on to the older days.
They refused to assimilate to the technology of today.
She agreed some of the old ways were better, but with the state of the world right now, she had to embrace technology in order to protect her people.
“What? I mean…damn…um, happy birthday?” Tomesha sputtered. She reached up and tucked her hair behind her ears. She grinned wide and leaned forward to where her lips hovered above Dru’s. “Then allow me to give you a birthday gift.”
Dru gripped the back of Tomesha’s neck. Their kiss was soft and sensual. Tomesha scooted forward, placing her center against Dru’s stomach. The scent of her filled the room. Dru growled softly, wanting to taste her again.
Tomesha lifted her head and left a trail of kisses on Dru’s face and neck. She moved down and stopped at Dru’s breasts. Tomesha took her time suckling and licking both of Dru’s mounds. It would appear her human wanted to return the favor. She wasn’t going to argue with her.
Tomesha explored her body which left Dru in a painfully aroused state.
Her core dripped with her honey by the time Tomesha had arrived there.
Her body trembled, and she parted her legs for Tomesha.
The human took her time exploring her cunt just as she did exploring her body.
Her fingers, tongue, and lips all teased her.
Dru should never have let this much time pass between her sexual encounters. She had to keep reminding herself that Tomesha was a human and she couldn’t be as rough with her as she would her vampire lovers. Just the memory of the bruise forming on Tomesha’s neck was proof.
“Fuck,” Dru uttered.
Her breath escaped her; Tomesha’s lips closed around her clit.
Her legs fell open completely to give Tomesha access to every inch of her center.
She threw her head back while Tomesha’s tongue pushed against her slick opening.
Her small fingers drew circles on her clit while her tongue slid through her folds.
“Miere, put those fingers in me.”
Dru threaded her fingers back into Tomesha thick hair. Tomesha covered her clit with her mouth and suckled it. She was just as unforgiving as Dru had been to her. Dru’s body writhed on the bed while Tomesha worked her. Tomesha’s fingers sank deep in her while she focused on Dru’s clit.
She hummed and tugged on Dru’s sensitive flesh until she had Dru screaming through her own climax. Dru blinked, unable to believe she’d reached her peak that fast. Her body tingled and shook as she lay back. She lifted her head and met her little human’s gaze.
“Come here, miere,” Dru growled. She reached down and practically dragged Tomesha over her. She flipped them over to where she rested on top of Tomesha. She took Tomesha’s lips in a brutal kiss.
Mine.
The word was whispered again in the back of her mind, but she ignored it.
This human was hers—for the night. Whatever she wanted, Tomesha would provide for her.
The scent of sweat, sex, and sweetness clung to Tomesha’s skin.
It overwhelmed Dru’s senses, but it didn’t hide the intoxicating thrum of Tomesha’s blood that called to Dru.
It was the sweetest invitation that she couldn’t resist.
Tomesha tilted her head in a silent offer.
That gesture caused something to snap inside Dru.
She gripped Tomesha’s hair to hold her in place, then she bent down and sank her fangs deep into Tomesha’ neck.
The rush of blood hit her tongue and filled her mouth.
She drank deeply and moaned as if she hadn’t eaten in decades.
She swallowed, the blood sliding down her throat, providing the nourishment and power she needed. She immediately felt stronger, invincible, and faster. Tomesha gyrated underneath her, while her fingers dug into Dru’s skin. The hint of pain from Tomesha’s nails went ignored.
Tomesha’s moans and cries filled the air.
Her hips undulated against Dru as if seeking her.
Dru slipped a hand between them, met with Tomesha’s slickness.
Her finger connected with Tomesha’s clit.
It was swollen, and with a few strokes, Tomesha screamed through her next climax.
Her heart raced, sending her blood flowing into Dru’s mouth in abundance.
She drank deeply and almost lost herself in that moment.
Dru lifted her head and stared down at the second wound she’d left.
She couldn’t continue or she’d bleed Tomesha dry.
Blood slowly seeped from the small holes.
She quickly licked the skin; the enzymes in her saliva would seal the holes.
Tomesha shuddered and fell back against the mattress, spent.
Dru stared down at Tomesha who was flushed, radiant, and beautiful.
Dru closed her eyes and inhaled sharply.
What was this between them? Two hundred and twenty-five years she’d walked this earth, and never had she reacted this way to a human.
She swallowed hard, still tasting Tomesha’s sweet blood on her tongue.
This woman was dangerous. She’d be a distraction, and Dru couldn’t afford to fail at her mission.
She shook her head and knew what she had to do.
She must leave.
