The Vampire Pendant Read Online Free

you wouldn’t.” But there was no way to know for certain what he would do. “Why haven’t you been with a human since you were human?”
    “Because during the months that I was a vampire, Simone was my only lover. Then after we became hybrids, she was still my only lover.”
    “Are you rough with Simone?”
    “She likes it that way. But those are her instincts. Her vampire roots run strong. She despises being a genie. She grants wishes, but deep down, she begrudges them.”
    “I’m glad I didn’t pick the ring.”
    “So am I.” He took her hand and led her to the mirror. “I’m glad you chose me.” He removed her dress, sliding it down her body. Since she wasn’t wearing undergarments, she was naked instantly.
    “Losing your virginity might be painful,” he said.
    “It can’t be nearly as painful as being ugly and alone.”
    “You’re not ugly.”
    She gazed at her reflection. “Not now. But I will be again.”
    He stood beside her. “Beauty is only skin deep.”
    “People say that, but that they don’t mean it.”
    “I mean it.”
    She didn’t believe him. He was classically handsome and would be that way forever. “You don’t know what it’s like to be maimed by fire, to have half of your face melted off. I wanted to be dead when it first happened. Sometimes I still have those feelings.”
    “Life is a gift, Tessa.” He put his arms around her. “You’re a gift.”
    Her fear of him lessened. Not only had he made her scars temporarily disappear, but he was being kind and tender, just what she needed in a first-time lover. “You’re making all of my wishes come true.”
    “I like exchanging blood for wishes. I like being a hybrid.”
    Curious, she asked, “What kind of work did you do when you were mortal?”
    “You want to talk about this now?”
    “I just want to know who you were.”
    “We can discuss it later.” He got on his knees and looked up at her. “Okay?”
    She met his gaze. No one had ever done this to her before. “I’m a virgin in this way, too.”
    “Lovely Tessa.” He opened her with his fingers, spreading her pearly pink folds. “I drank your blood, and now I’m going to taste your come.”
    Her heart struck her chest. She’d wanted to come for him from the moment she’d first seen him, and now she wanted to taste his come, too. God forbid, but she imagined being in a sixty-nine position, only while she was sucking his cock, he was sucking on a vein in her thigh.
    Was that possible? Could he feed from her while she was pleasuring him? Or would the combined activity cause him to lose control and drink too much?
    Tessa couldn’t believe she was even thinking along those lines. One minute she craved tenderness and the next she was envisioning risky things.
    He put his tongue against her clit, and she moaned. Desperate to touch him, she played with his hair. She liked the way he styled it, the sleek retro look that enhanced his Old Hollywood charm.
    Aroused by their reflections, she watched. They were a sight to behold: she, who’d been changed by the wish, and him, a man of magic and mystery.
    He circled her clit. So skilled. So sexy.
    He licked and licked, creating sparks of heat and swirls of wetness. She rocked her hips, moving back and forth. Planting his hands firmly on her ass, he magnified the motion.
    By now, Tessa was pulling his hair, tugging with each draw of his lips, with every lustful stroke of his tongue. Her juices flowed warm and sticky. He made a hungry sound and rubbed his face in it.
    Steeped in his power, she closed her eyes. His ravenous sounds intensified. She didn’t want to think about his erotic relationship with Simone, but it crossed her mind anyway.
    “Open your eyes,” he said.
    She obeyed his order and looked down at him.
    “Watch in the mirror. Watch while I make you come, the way you watched when you made yourself come.”
    Once again, she obeyed him. She kept her gaze plastered to the glass, and he made her pussy
