CHAPTER 26 #2
She punctuated her point with a snarling kiss that pushed Caroline flat on her back.
She parted her legs so Valeria could melt into the cradle of her body.
Valeria’s tongue plunged into her mouth, and she had never felt more claimed.
Her mouth moved down her body, nipping softly at her jaw before she moved down her neck and chest until she got to the neckline of her chemise.
“Your blood,” Valeria said in a low voice, “Smells so good. Even a whiff of you drives me mad. No one else’s blood has ever had an effect on me like yours.”
Caroline’s body throbbed at even the thought of her fangs piercing her, drawing Caroline’s very life into her.
She wanted to be the one sustaining Valeria.
The reason why her skin was warm and flushed.
With her blood inside the vampire she loved, they would be wrapped up in each other until no one could pry them apart again.
“You like the idea of that, don’t you? I can smell your arousal. You want to be coursing through my veins?” Valeria sat up before tugging on Caroline’s chemise and tossing it aside before moving down her body. “I know exactly what blood I want to start with.”
Valeria’s mouth was between her thighs before she could even parse out what her words meant.
Her tongue swirled around the bud in just the way she liked, and she cried out.
The pleasure was intense because Valeria knew her.
How to work her until she was panting and moaning, unable to squirm because her forearm held her like an iron bar to keep her in place. At her vampire’s mercy.
Valeria’s finger started slowly circling her entrance, and she couldn’t help but tense. Nothing and no one had ever been inside her, and while she had gotten some advice, it was mainly that it would feel best if she relaxed and that she shouldn’t worry if she bleeds.
Ah. That’s what Valeria wanted.
“It may be uncomfortable for a moment or two, but it won’t be for long. You’re so wet that it won’t hurt.”
“But what if I don’t bleed? Will you be disappointed?” Her mother prepared her for blood, but also said there was a chance it wouldn’t happen. She said everyone was different, but there was nothing to be embarrassed about either way.
“Then you don’t. We’ve been together many, many times. If I pierce your maidenhead, I will be smug about it, but no matter what, I had you first and I get you forever. I want to feel your pretty little cunt squeezing me after all this time. That’s what’s important to me.”
Caroline nodded and lay back down, but kept her eyes on Valeria.
Her dark brown eyes looked almost black, and she held eye contact as her head lowered back and she took the bud between her lips and sucked.
Caroline cried out, but didn’t drop her gaze.
She didn’t want to miss this for anything, not even the haze of her own pleasure.
Valeria’s patient finger kept its slow circles at her entrance, waiting for her to get used to her touch.
When she finally relaxed, she slowly pushed her finger inside.
It was a strange feeling. Not exactly unpleasant, but it wasn’t quite as exciting as she had hoped. Though she would never, ever complain about any touches Valeria gave her.
“There you go, it’s not too bad, is it, cara?”
She shook her head, unable to form any words at the moment as she bit her lip. The longer she did it, the better it felt. Her rhythm was slow, but steady as she explored her channel before adding a second finger.
Oh.
That was better. Much better. She bucked her hips and closed her eyes, unable to keep from losing herself in the pleasure. The sounds coming from her were obscene, but there was no room for embarrassment when she felt so utterly incredible.
“That’s it, I’ve gotten it right now. Look at how good you are. You spend every day looking after everyone, and now it’s my job to take care of you.”
Something pinched inside of her, and she flinched.
It was uncomfortable, but didn’t hurt. Valeria quickly replaced her fingers with her mouth, and Caroline felt her tongue inside her.
It was too much and what finally pushed her over the edge.
It was the most exquisite pleasure that was just on the edge of pain.
In all of her life, she never imagined anything could ever feel like this.
And she had been so close to losing it—everything—forever.
It hadn’t come true, but it was still far too close a call.
Valeria groaned against her, and it made her shiver as she came down from her high.
She tugged on Valeria’s head when she was too sensitive and couldn’t bear any more of her attention.
Valeria licked her lips as she sat before her with glossy lips, but there was no hint of blood. “You taste like ambrosia. Your blood is the most stunning thing I have ever tasted. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let it go now.”
“Until I become a vampire, at least.” There was the last bit of lingering doubt that maybe Valeria would grow bored of her when she could no longer feed from her. When she didn’t smell the same as she had always been enamored with her blood.
“I’ll still drink you every day once you’re a vampire. I’ll be able to drink without worrying about draining you. Humans are so weak; my biggest concern had been taking too much from you.”
“Wait, vampires can feed off of one another? Then why do you drink humans at all?”
Valeria shrugged. “For sport, I suppose. Or you might not like the taste of someone. The Count was fine, but I didn’t care for Svetlana’s taste. Humans don’t have a strong taste, so they go down easier.”
Caroline hummed as she thought about that. It made sense that people tasted different, but she couldn’t imagine the differences being so great. Though Valeria’s senses were more heightened than hers in comparison, it seemed like something that had to be experienced to be believed.
Valeria crawled over her, and Caroline pulled at her sleeve. “How come you’re still dressed while I’m totally naked?”
“That’s something that can be easily fixed.” She went to sit up to start undressing, but Caroline pulled her back down on her.
“Don’t, I like how indecent it is.” She kissed her again and felt Valeria’s smile. “It makes me feel wanton.”
“Ah, so you do like being naughty on occasion. Sit up, I want to try something.”
Valeria pulled Caroline up and settled her over her lap with her back against the headboard, and Caroline straddled her lap. With Valeria in her grasp, she kissed her neck, sucking gently before kissing down her chest, nipping the top of her breast before pulling it out of the top of her dress.
“How are you the one getting bitey?” Valeria laughed.
“It’s not my fault you’re slow.”
Caroline’s hand searched beneath her skirts until she felt Valeria’s coarse curls and started her slow, teasing strokes up and down her seam.
“Ride my thigh and tilt your head to the side.”
“Do you want me to stop?” Caroline went to pull her hand away, but Valeria grabbed it with her unnatural speed.
“Don’t stop. I’m only trying to arrange us so we can both get everything we want.”
Caroline returned to her teasing, amazed at how soft and slick she was beneath her touch. She had learned Valeria’s body as well over their weeks together, and it wasn’t long until she had her panting beneath her.
“Do you always take so long before you start drinking?”
“Shush, I’m trying to find the exact vein I want. It’s important, and you’re being very distracting.”
Valeria ran her mouth up and down her neck, her tongue flicking out to taste her skin.
Valeria placed an open-mouth kiss over a spot where her neck met her shoulder, just above her collarbone.
She felt her teeth and gasped as she felt her canine teeth grow until they were sharp.
Caroline squirmed with anticipation before Valeria finally bit down.
It was agony and ecstasy. Heaven and hell. She cried out because nothing had ever hurt like that, but her core pulsed, and when Valeria took in another draw of her blood, she saw stars and reached her climax without even a touch. Caroline whimpered when Valeria removed her fangs.
“Your taste is incomparable. I’m already feeling the effects of your blood. I’ve never felt so strong.”
“Then why’d you stop?” She whined, riding Valeria’s thigh, but it wasn’t the same.
“I don’t want to take too much.”
“You can take a bit more. I’ll let you know when I start feeling woozy.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll taste the change before it ever gets that far.”
Valeria’s breath over her bite mark made her shiver. “Does it always feel like this when you feed? This sensitive?”
“No, that’s only because it’s us, and we already want each other.”
“Oh,” she sighed, grinding on Valeria’s leg. She didn’t want anyone else feeling like this when Valeria fed from them “Good. You can take more.”
Valeria laughed as she moved Caroline’s hair back. “Just a little sip.”
Valeria bit down once again, and Caroline cried out. It truly was incomparable.
