Chapter 33

V anessa snuggled up to Cole, her cheek resting on his chest, her hand caressing his muscled torso, one leg across his thigh. She’d never felt so satisfied and happy than when in Cole’s arms, knowing that he accepted every part of her. After the most amazing sexual experience with him, they’d taken a quick shower together.
Now, they were in bed together, but they weren’t sleeping. There were so many things she wanted to talk to him about.
“You surprised me,” she began.
“Surprised you how? By coming to see you?”
She lifted her head to look into his face. “No. By asking me to show you my fangs.”
A soft rumble rolled over Cole’s lips. “I honestly don’t know what came over me, but when you showed them to me, fuck, it was such a turn-on…” He stroked over her ass, simultaneously moving her closer so her thigh rubbed over his cocks. “Just thinking of it now…”
She followed his gaze to his lower body, and noticed that his cocks were slowly but surely hardening again, even though he’d come only a few minutes earlier. Now was probably the best time to confess one last thing.
“Cole,” she said, hesitating.
“Yeah, babe?”
“There’s something you should know.”
He met her gaze. “You can tell me anything. I promise whatever it is, you won’t get rid of me anymore. I’m here to stay.”
She felt a smile curve her lips upwards. She knew he was telling the truth. She could feel it.
“The night you got attacked…”
He nodded. “Go on.”
“You were badly injured. The rogue had already taken so much blood from you, and you would have bled out within minutes, if I hadn’t done what I did.” Just the thought of that moment sent an icy shudder down her spine.
“That night you said the injuries weren’t that bad, and honestly, when I looked in the mirror, I noticed that they were only superficial.”
“I know that’s what I said. But that was a lie. Because had I told you what I did to heal you as quickly as possible, you would have pushed me away.”
His forehead furrowed. “What did you do?”
“When you passed out on the street, I licked over your wounds to close them. A vampire’s saliva heals skin, but it wasn’t enough. The injuries on your neck were too deep. I carried you back—”
“I knew it. That’s why you said before that I was in and out of consciousness, because I wouldn’t have believed that you’d be capable of carrying me while I was fully unconscious. I don’t doubt that anymore.” He pressed a kiss to her nose.
“Trust me, you were heavy nevertheless. But I had to get you off the street. I couldn’t risk that anybody could see what I had to do.” She paused for a moment. “I had to give you some of my blood to drink, so you could heal from the inside. It was the only way.”
A short gasp escaped Cole’s throat. “Your blood? But wouldn’t that mean that I’m a vampire now too?”
She shook her head. “No, that’s not how humans are turned. You’d have to be on the brink of death for a vampire’s blood to turn you. But there’s a side effect other than healing that comes with ingesting vampire blood.”
“Side effect?” He moved a little, raising his head higher. “What side effect?”
“Sexual arousal.”
She watched him take in the news, and could see exactly when he realized what that meant.
“Does that mean that when I made love to you on the couch, when I went down on you, it was because of your blood?”
She nodded. “I’m sorry.”
“I’m not.”
He smirked, and pulled her on top of him. Her legs opened and rested at either side of his hips so she was straddling him.
“I don’t suppose you’d be willing to give me more of your blood to prove what you just told me?”
“Don’t you believe me?”
He winked at her, a soft smile on his lips. “Oh, I believe you, babe. I just want to experience that side effect again.”
“You’re a rascal,” she chided, while her heart warmed. “But I believe it’s my turn now.”
“You mean…”
He lifted his hand to her lips. Without a word, she parted them and allowed her fangs to descend to their full length.
“Fuck, baby.”
With his index finger he stroked over one fang. Vanessa jolted and reared back.
“I’m sorry,” he apologized, an expression of true worry on his face. “Did I hurt you? I didn’t mean to.”
She snatched his hand and brought it closer to her face again. “No, you didn’t hurt me. But a vampire’s fangs are erogenous zones.”
He blinked and stared at her in rapt fascination. “Are you telling me that it turns you on when I touch your fangs?”
“Yes, if you touch them… or if I sink them into your flesh. It has the same effect.”
“Oh, babe.” He pulled her face down to him. “What are you waiting for then? Don’t you want to drink my blood?”
An excited breath tumbled over her lips. “Only if you want it.”
He brushed his lips over hers, then licked his tongue over one fang, while he cupped her face so that she couldn’t pull back. His sensual touch turned her interior to molten lava, sending a spear of heat into her center of pleasure.
“Bite me, Vanessa, please. I want to give you everything you need.”
“I love you,” she whispered. Then she added, “Oh, and before I forget, when it’s done right, the host experiences the same pleasure and arousal as the vampire. I hope that’s okay with you…”
A surprised gasp issued from Cole’s throat. “Fuck yeah!” He gripped her hips and made her rise to her knees. “Oh, and before I forget, I have one condition for you drinking my blood.”
Though she could guess what he was trying to say, she asked, “And what’s that condition?”
“I get to make love to you every time you bite me.”
Vanessa shifted above him and reached for his lower cock. She positioned it at the entrance to her pussy. “I can live with that.” She impaled herself on his shaft, and reveled in the sight of bliss spreading on Cole’s face.
When Cole tilted his head to the side to offer his neck, Vanessa lowered her face to the spot. She licked over the spot where his neck and shoulder met, and felt the pulsing vein beneath her tongue. She could already smell his rich blood. When she set the sharp tips of her fangs to his skin, opening her mouth wide, her own heart was beating out of control. Savoring the moment, she slowly sank her fangs into him, breaking the skin, and lodging them deep in his flesh. An instant later, deliciously rich blood rushed into her mouth and overwhelmed her taste buds.
If there was a paradise on earth, then she’d just found it.
Cole had expected to feel some initial pain, and was surprised that there was none at all. Vanessa licking his skin had sent a tingling sensation through his body, and a moment later, her fangs drove deep into him, and he could feel her sucking on his vein. He wasn’t prepared for the sensations that followed, despite Vanessa’s claim that the bite would heighten his arousal.
It was much more than that. More than mere arousal, more than sexual pleasure. Her bite seemed to heighten his senses, making him feel everything more intensely. His heart was beating out of control, his breath raced through his lungs, and the places where he and Vanessa were connected felt as if they were on fire.
Vanessa rode him, her hips moving in an even pace, up and down on his cock, while his second cock was rubbing over her center of pleasure, the contact doubling the pleasure his lower cock in her wet pussy gave him. As she drank from him, moans bounced against his skin. Cole gripped her hips, aiding her movements so she wouldn’t grow tired too quickly. He wanted to make this last for as long as he humanly could. But already now, he was dancing precariously close to an orgasm.
“Babe,” he murmured. “You’re gonna make me come too quickly.”
His voice sounded as if he were drugged. And maybe he was. Drugged by her bite. Delirious from the pleasure she bestowed on him. This was where Vanessa’s true power as a vampire lay: in the bite that made him want to do everything she demanded of him, because the sensations she unleashed in him were addictive. He understood now how people could get hooked on drugs or alcohol or gambling, because he was surely getting addicted to her bite—on the first hit.
“I love you,” he whispered on a short breath.
And even though she didn’t answer him, because her fangs were lodged in his neck, he could feel that she loved him too. With her fingers she stroked over his cheek and touched his lips, lingering there for a brief moment.
The need for release rising with every movement, Cole eased up on the grip on her hips, giving Vanessa leave to move faster. Instantly, her tempo increased. He kept up with her, thrusting his cock upwards, whenever she made a downward movement, doubling the impact. Perspiration covered their bodies, making them slide more smoothly against one another.
When he sensed Vanessa trying to draw her head back to stop drinking from him, he put his hand on the back of her head and pressed her down.
“Don’t stop, I beg you.”
He’d never begged a woman for anything. But Vanessa was giving him pure and total bliss, and if he had to beg for her so she wouldn’t stop, he would do that. He’d do anything to feel like this. To feel arousal run through his veins instead of blood. To inhale bliss into his lungs instead of air. To feel connected to her as if they were one.
As Vanessa continued to suck on his vein and drink his blood, he suddenly felt her interior muscles spasm around him, squeezing his cock so tightly that he lost the reins with which he’d tried to hold onto his self-control. There was no holding back now. He surrendered to his orgasm and to the woman who showered him with pleasure. Both his cocks exploded at the same time, one shooting his semen deep into her pussy, the other spilling on their bellies. He let out a moan that came deep from within his heart, almost like a battle cry, raw and primal.
Vanessa withdrew her fangs from his neck, and again, he felt her tongue as she licked over the incisions, before she lifted her head.
Their eyes met. Vanessa’s were a deep golden color. Her fangs were still extended, blood dripping from them. He pulled her face to him, then swept his tongue over one fang to lick it clean.
“Cole, oh.” She let out a moan, and her pussy clenched around his cock once more.
Pleased that his action had the intended effect, he did the same to her other fang. Again, her tight channel squeezed his cock like a vise, and he welcomed the sensation. He knew then that he too had a power. The power to give her pleasure and make her surrender to him.
When her pussy relaxed again after a few moments, Cole framed Vanessa’s face with both hands. “You were amazing.” She inhaled a deep breath. “I can’t believe I was ever scared of what you are.”
A wet sheen appeared in her eyes.
“Baby, did I say something wrong?” he asked, instantly worried.
She shook her head and sniffled. “No. I’m just… I’m so happy that you liked it.”
“Liked it?” He chuckled. “I didn’t just like it. I loved it. Please tell me you need to drink blood every day, ‘cause I don’t think I can go without this for too long.”
Vanessa smiled. “Yes, every day. I’ve never tasted anything as delicious as your blood.”
“It’s all yours, baby,” he murmured and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her, when a ringing sound interrupted him.
Vanessa severed the kiss and looked toward the origin of the sound, her handbag. “That ringtone is for important Scanguards messages only. Sorry.”
She lifted herself off him and retrieved her handbag, reached inside and pulled out her cell phone. She tapped on the screen, then read the message. A moment later, she looked up. “We need to get dressed, and go to HQ.”
Her serious expression made him sit up instantly. “What’s going on?”
“I’ll tell you on the way.”
