Chapter Seven

ION

I’m mad to have come here tonight. Lori should not even be on my radar beyond the help she and her children need. Yet, I am powerless to stay away. The way her blood sings in her veins calls to me as no other ever has.

She asks if I want to taste her blood as if that is the thing that drives me. The scent of her fear mixes with her arousal. One must be soothed before the other can be sated. “I will not bite you, Lori. Not unless it is something we both desire.”

“I thought vampires need blood to survive.” Her full breasts rise and fall with every breath. “Max told me that his blood saved Tilda.”

A better man than me might release her and pull back from this new intimacy.

If she were any other human, I would do exactly that.

I want her too much to be that kind of vampire.

The soft white fabric shows me every detail of her figure, and I still want more than bare shoulders and legs.

Tightening my hold around her waist, I explore her bottom lip with my thumb.

“I need blood to live, but I do not require your blood. If you ever share that intimacy with me, it will be for pleasure, not nourishment.”

“I’m not sure I understand.” She spreads her fingers on my chest, then moves her hand up to trace my skin at the collar of my shirt. Her tongue slips past her rosy lips and touches my digit. She gasps.

A low growl escapes me. Sweet, innocent, and irresistible—that is my human. I’m helpless against her allure. “Vampires take pleasure when they feed, but we can also bring pleasure. My elixir can make you feel very good even if I only scratch your skin.”

Some of her fears lift, and the warm scent of her desire forces my blood to my already stiff cock. Pressing forward, I want her to know what she does to me. “You are very beautiful, Lori. I’ve never wanted anyone as I do you. I would never toy with you or do anything to harm you in any way.”

She swallows, and her pulse speeds. “I have not pushed you away, Ion. That is because I’m in favor of whatever is happening between us.”

Standing near the door hardly seems the best option for this moment, which is more than I could have hoped for. Drawing her into my arms, I lift her. “May I take you to your bedroom?”

Her nod is slow, and her breath catches.

Before I take a step, I meet her gaze. “I will not be angry or abandon you if you say no, Lori. Nothing will make me change my feelings or desires, but if this is too soon—”

“No. We should go to my bedroom.” She wraps her arms tightly around my neck. “I’m only nervous because it’s been some time since I was intimate with anyone. I’m not afraid of you.”

Making my way through the house and down the hall to her bedroom, I’m filled with pure joy. “I’m happy to hear that. You will always be safe with me.”

Flushed pink, she nods. “I know.”

Her bedroom is lit by a bedside lamp. The warm heat of a recent shower falls from the open bathroom door, and it’s scented with the same florals that always accompany sweet Lori.

A white comforter with pale-pink toile scenes covers a queen-sized bed.

On a chair in one corner are her jeans and blouse from earlier today.

A long, dark wood dresser takes up most of one wall, with an oval mirror above, reflecting the light.

Placing her on the mattress, I lean over her, looking for any signs of fear or doubt. My fingers graze her summery dress. “Are you naked under this?”

She shrugs. “I thought I was going to be alone for the night. This is my most comfortable clothing.”

“I interrupted a much-deserved rest.” I brush her hair back from her face and revel in the way the soft strands flow over my fingers.

Wrapping her hand around my neck, she pulls herself so that her lips are a breath away from mine. “I don’t mind.”

When my lips touch hers, the same wave of rightness washes over me as did the first time I kissed her.

She opens for me and slides her tongue along mine. Its warmth sends my cock throbbing. Wrapping a leg around mine, she moans into my mouth and threads her fingers through my hair. “Ion.”

With her leg raised, her aroused scent wafts through the air like a siren’s call.

Beneath my fingers, her shoulder is soft like the finest silk, and I want to touch all of her at once. I caress down her side to her hip, then along her thigh, then run my fingers across the sensitive skin at the back of her knee.

Tiny cries and moans vibrate against my mouth as I devour her. Pulling back, she gasps. “Ion. Everywhere you touch me is on fire.”

I kiss the top of her breast. “You are so lovely.”

She arches against my mouth. “Ion, please.” Her leg tightens around my hip.

I roll my shaft along her center. My groan mingles with hers. “You smell so good.” Easing her legs free, I kneel on the floor at the side of the bed.

Rising to her elbows, her eyes are glassy as she watches me and lets her knees fall open.

Maybe I’m not as good a man as I think I am, but this much temptation is more than I can resist. The monster that lives within me roils to the surface and pulls her perfect ass to the edge of the mattress.

I breathe her in, and my cock thinks this would be a good time to be buried deep inside her perfect pussy.

Making its best effort to fight its way out of my jeans, I ignore my mounting desire and let the need to pleasure this amazing woman take the forefront.

The first taste of her sweet nectar is like a drug I never want to be away from.

I’m instantly addicted. Even more so to her cries and the way she pumps her hips against my face.

“Oh, god, Ion. That feels so fucking good.” Her hands fist the comforter as she lays her thighs on my shoulders and digs her heels into my back to bring herself closer to my mouth.

“Perfect.” I suck her clitoris, cup her ass in my palms, then slip one thumb deep inside her tight sheath.

Wild, she fucks my face and finger, crying my name over and over. As her orgasm hits, a low keening falls from her plump lips, and her sheath tightens around my thumb, pulsing, and she fills my mouth with her sweet juices.

Emotions wash over me, and my throat tightens. “That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen or felt.” I lick my finger clean, and the taste of her is pure perfection. “I could watch you come for the rest of my life.”

Breathing hard, she chuckles. “That’s a very long time, Ion.” She uses her heels to push to the middle of the mattress and opens her arms to me. “Will you make love to me?”

I lie beside her and cup her cheek. “It has been a very long time since I was with a human in this way.”

“Are you worried you’ll lose control and bite me?” There is no fear in her voice or her scent.

“No. I’m old enough to know my weaknesses, and they do not lie with biting where I should not.” I pull her bottom lip through mine.

Questions fill her expressive eyes, but instead of asking whatever is on her mind, she reaches down and pulls her dress up and over her head, then lets it fall to the floor. Longing replaces curiosity as I caress from just under her exquisite breasts along her abdomen to her belly button.

Her breath hitches. “I would like to see you naked.”

Never taking my gaze from her, I stand and pull off my shoes, jeans, and the rest of my clothes, and leave them on the floor next to her dress. The sight of our discarded wardrobes together on the wooden floor pleases me.

Vampires age much more slowly than humans. So, while I’m well over a thousand years old, my body is still in my prime.

Seeing myself through Lori’s expression is good for my ego. “Can I assume you are not disappointed in my appearance?”

Leaning on her elbows, she blushes. “You’re beautiful, even more so than I expected.”

My cock jerks at the compliment as if it were the only part of my body she was complimenting. “I’m flattered.”

“You must know you’re perfect.” She reaches for my hand and tugs gently to bring me alongside her. Facing me, she runs her soft, warm fingers along my chest, teasing my nipple.

“When a human becomes a vampire, we grow more muscular and agile to support our need to hunt. I’m glad you find me pleasing, but I have little to do with the state of my body.”

A sensual grin spreads across her face. “I’m pretty sure that little thing you did with your tongue a few minutes ago was all you.”

My laugh surprises us both. “I suppose that is true.”

She kisses my neck, nipping and teasing her way to my earlobe.

Her breath tickles and arouses me until I can take no more. Gripping her thigh, I roll on top of her and suck her nipple into my mouth while massaging her wickedly full breasts.

With a lift of her hips, she spreads her legs wide to accommodate my hips.

Still teasing her beaded peak, I roll my hips and slide my cock along her wet folds.

Rocking with me, she moans low and long. “Ion, I need you inside me.”

I let her breast pop from my mouth, lean on my hands, and stare down at her trusting face. Rocking back, I line up my head with her sweet center and press forward. “Like warm silk.”

“Oh, Ion.” Her breath is short and fast. “More. Don’t tease.”

Slow and steady, I let her body adjust with every inch until I’m fully seated deep inside her. I close my eyes and revel in how perfect she feels as she hugs me so intimately.

Lori lifts her hips to take more of me, then pulls back. Her juices flow, allowing the most erotic slide.

Unable to wait a moment longer, I pull back and fill her again and again until we are in perfect synchronicity, moving as one. Pleasure flows between us. My thick cock fills every inch of her, the base rubbing her clitoris and causing her to cry my name and that of a few deities with every thrust.

She grips my back, digging her nails into my flesh. With her legs wrapped around my hips, she tilts her hips to take me deeper. “Ion, I’m coming.” Her body tightens and pulses as she arches her head back. Screaming, she tries to catch her breath as the pleasure ebbs.

“May I increase your satisfaction, Lori?” I long to give her everything.

“You want to bite me?” She doesn’t say it as if that’s a terrible idea.

Still hard and fully inside her, I close my eyes to let the desire to sink my fangs into her soft throat pass. “No, my sweet. Just a scratch to let you feel how good this can be.”

Pupils blown, she stares up at me and grips the back of my hair. “That was pretty amazing, but I trust you completely.”

Somehow, her trust is even more arousing than the idea of tasting her blood.

Leaning into her neck where it meets her shoulder, I let the tip of my fang break her skin.

The magnificent scent of human blood wafts into my nose.

Then a single bead on my tongue is pure delight.

My elixir flows from my tooth and into her blood.

“Oh. Oh, my god.” Her pussy clenches around my cock as wave after wave of orgasm flows through her. She digs her nails deep into my skin, but those wounds heal immediately.

I lick the scratch and seal it as if it never happened, even as another wave of rapture takes her and she milks my cock with increasing pressure. Pumping her hips, she screams and cries.

Pleasure rushes through me like an arrow from the base of my spine. Wrapping my arms around her, I fill her to overflowing.

Even after I’m spent, Lori still shivers with the aftereffects of her orgasms. “That. God. That was amazing.”

Rolling so she’s on top of me, I caress her back and revel in the soft flow of her hair through my fingers. “You are amazing.”

“I’m pretty sure the special part came from you, Ion.” She rests her head on my chest and closes her eyes.

I could die a happy vampire if this moment was the end of my days. “We shall have to disagree on that point, love.”
