“Oh, God, please!”
“ I’m
trying to please you,” he whispered against her skin. “Feel me,
Kira. Feel me, not the
bloodlust.”
His thigh slid across her legs, heavy,
muscular. The pressure made her want to writhe and wiggle until she
could trap his thigh between hers, ride it, feel his hard muscle
against her throbbing clit. Simultaneously he nipped the tender
pulse at her wrist, taking no more than a sip of her simmering
blood before sealing the wound with a flick of his tongue.
It was
enough to heighten the link between them. Kira hissed as the cool
weight of his mind slid across hers just as his thigh had trapped
her legs. “Feel me,” he repeated, stretching her other arm up
beside the first, making her back arch and her breasts jut forward.
“Desire me, not my
blood. Burn for me.”
He bent over her, licking a hot path over the
swell of her breast and down into the valley over her heart. “You
can feed from anyone,” he murmured against her skin. She felt his
arousal in her mind, the thrill of tasting her and pressing his
cheek to her soft breast. “Want what only I can give you, Kira.
Need me.”
His desire, urgent and spicy, warred with the
raging bloodlust. Kissing a path between her breasts and down her
belly, ignoring her increasingly frantic pleas for release, for
satisfaction, he found the scalded skin of her hip and laved it
with his tongue. The sting of the burn faded and was replaced by
goose bumps. “Crave me,” he whispered, licking his way over her hip
and down to her thigh before raising his head to meet her eyes. “Do
you feel me now, baby?”
“Yes,” she whispered. Her body shivered as
the pain of the bloodlust battled with the hot need Orion’s touch
woke in her. She wanted to scream with frustration at the loss of
his mouth on her skin. “God, love, don’t you dare stop!”
Orion froze for a long moment, just long
enough for Kira to realize what she’d said. Suddenly he rolled off
the bed and grabbed her knees, pulling her to the edge of the
mattress with one hard jerk. She cried out as his cock bumped her
thigh and ached to wiggle just the slightest bit to put it where
she so desperately wanted it. The paralysis heightened her
frustration, while conversely increasing the erotic thrill of every
touch. He caught the back of her neck and yanked her upright,
supporting her body with that one hand as the other cupped her
breast.
His entire face had changed. No longer soft
and tender, Orion was as fierce as she’d ever seen him. “You are at
my mercy, Kira,” he growled, his eyes burning with intensity. “You
know that, don’t you? I can do anything I want to you now and you
can’t fight me.”
His fingers twisted in her hair and pulled
her head to the side, exposing her throat. His tongue trailed a hot
path over her pulse. “I could bite you, fuck you, turn you over and
bury my cock in that sweet ass.” His words vibrated against her
skin and sent her pulse racing. “I could leave you here until the
bloodlust subsides on its own, or keep you beside me for all time.
I can make you come or keep you from it, fuck you or leave you,
hurt you or pleasure you. You don’t tell me what to do, fledgling.”
Now his voice was a snarl, punctuated by a sharp nip at her
collarbone. “You take what I give you and you say thank you when
I’m done. Do you understand me?”
Chapter Three
She should have been alarmed. She knew she
should be screaming by now, too terrified to breathe, but Kira had
never been so turned on in her life. Some deep instinct had always
trusted Orion and she knew to the depths of her soul that he
wouldn’t hurt her now. He couldn’t hide that he wanted her as badly
as she needed him.
And she knew that no matter what he said, he
wouldn’t leave her to suffer alone.
“Yes,” she whispered. “I’m at your
mercy.”
“Damn straight,” he growled. “And you’d best
remember that I’m not merciful.” He raised his head
