Excerpt
Melissa
I’m trapped
beneath him, tears filling my eyes, uncertain what all of this means or what
happens now. He saw what I am, but he didn’t pull away. He held me down,
watching me writhe in agony and desire, as if he knew what was coming.
Oh, god. A wave of dread
tightens my stomach at the thought. He
knew what was coming. He knows what I am.
His head is down
on his forearm, but he’s still inside me. I wait until he finally lifts it,
again looking straight into my eyes. He’s so beautifully mouth-watering. Sweat
mingles with the rain on his cheek, and a little drop runs down into his beard.
Without having to
see, I know my eyes darken. A whimper escapes my chest as the irresistible
hunger burns in my throat.
His brow lowers.
“You want to drink me?”
My eyes squeeze
closed as a flood of fresh tears fills them, spilling out of the corners and
down my cheeks. I take a shuddering breath, unable to deny the truth.
“Can you control
it?” His voice has changed. The anger is replaced by curiosity.
Opening my eyes
slowly, I study his expression, still stern, trying to understand. I don’t
answer. I only watch him, my hunger aching in my gums.
His steel eyes
hold mine with such determination. “Do what you have to do, but only for a
moment.”
I’m confused by
his permission, but I’m too weak to resist him. His grip on my wrists relaxes,
and I slowly lift my hands to his broad, muscled shoulders, holding his eyes
with mine as I carefully rise to lick the little bead of sweat off his cheek.
A noise rumbles
in his throat, and inside me his erection returns. My breath picks up as the
flavor of him spreads through my mouth. Rising higher, I press my nose against
his heated skin, inhaling fresh rainwater mixed with his delicious woodsy
man-scent.
I’m on fire. My
moan is matched by his low growl as I trace my tongue along the line of his jaw
to the ridge of muscle in his neck. I’m acting by instinct, grazing my
razor-sharp teeth lightly across his skin, touching him gently with my tongue.
His hips begin to move, thrusting again, and I feel the muscles in his
shoulders tightening as his orgasm builds.
At last I’ve
found it—the place from before, the little pin pricks. Like before, it’s so
easy, a knife in warm butter. I penetrate him, and the hot, thick warmth of his
life spills into my mouth.
Instantly, we’re
plunged into that orgasmic plane, tumbling down the rabbit hole, lost in a
whirlpool of giving and taking inexorable ecstasy.
“Fuck!” He groans
as he comes inside me, pulsing long and hard, over and over.
My eyes are
closed, my mouth attached firmly to his skin as I drown in the tsunami of
pleasure, life flowing into me from all sides.
It’s harder to
stop this time. I want more of him, more and more of this. He seems unable to
pull away as well. He’s still in me, throbbing and gripping my hips so hard, I
think they’ll break.
I might have kept
going. I might have… but a beacon of light cuts through the quick thud of his
heart beating strong in his chest.
STOP! The voice I
recognize as mine echoes through my transformed state. It reminds me what I
want. I want this man to live. I don’t want to drain his life and doom myself
to living alone as a monster. I want to live with him in the light.
It takes all the
strength I possess to pull out. I break my seal with a moan of regret, licking
my lips to be sure none of him is wasted.
Dropping my head
back onto the bed, I close my eyes to savor the sensation of him swirling
inside me. Derek… so strong… my fighter…
my hunter…
Only like before,
the strange, foreign element is back. It burns longer this time before
ultimately disappearing into my bloodstream.
