As the vampire leaned in toward her neck, she tilted her head to one side and showed a neck that was marred with very fine silvery pock marks from all the times she had been feasted on and healed. He didn't bite her but went to and she immediately closed her eyes and moaned as if she wanted it as much as she wanted to be fucked.
It was an excellent display of how enthralled humans acted. Like they couldn't get enough of being fed on or used for sexual gratification. Many of them would let another vampire touch them if their owner was nearby and fine with it as well. No one fed on another's enthralled, however. That was seen as a huge disrespect to the original owner.
Anais drank more of her drink and leaned in closer to me, trying to adapt and I kissed her, hoping it would help remind her of everything I'd done to her on the plane. The arousal in her began to kick in and her scent shifted from one of fear to one of desire, finally helping sell the act a little.
I ran my hand lightly down one side of her body, brushing up against her breast, but I was deliberately a bit more subtle, hoping that being so would show these men that I preferred a more understated enthralled.
When I pulled away, the look on her face was still wrong, but it was still better than before. Her breathing was ragged and her mouth stayed slightly open. As I finished my drink, she did the same with hers.
Immediately I grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the exit. “We'll see you all at dinner I'm sure. I'm going to take this one to find her energy.”
The anger built in me as the vampires laughed and the butch vampire Ludis trusted watched us leave. Anais was going to get us both killed at this rate.
I dragged her to my suite as quickly as I could, hoping that another vampire or Ludis himself wouldn't see us before I got her out of the way and had a chance to ask her what the hell she was trying to do.
“What the hell was that?” I demanded in a hushed outburst as soon as we were alone in the suite.
“I... That was... I didn't think we'd be among so many vampires. Is this just a ship full of them?” She shivered, her body quaking and her skin covered in goose bumps. Fear came off her in waves again.
“Yes,” I hissed the word at her and had to resist the urge to smack her. “And if you don't start acting like an enthralled, you are going to ruin everything.”
She gulped. “Are they all like the other woman?”
“You don't know?” I asked, taking several deep breaths and turning away as she shook her head and confirmed my worst nightmare.
“I thought that it was just the woman in Vegas. Everyone in Vegas acts like they're just there to get laid it seems.”
Although it was a good point, I wasn't sure that I wanted to hear it. I took several more breaths, counting them and forcing myself to take longer to exhale each one.
“When you're enthralled it's as if you're addicted to everything we do to you and it makes you high for hours and hours. You're constantly turned on and wanting to seduce your owner and you enjoy being fed on. She strode over the way she did cause she was practically begging to be fucked. And she'd let any vampire stick his cock in any hole she's got as roughly as he wanted and she'd think it was perfect. Sometimes an enthralled is gangbanged by whoever her owner lets. And sometimes for hours at a time.
Anais gulped and her eyes watered up.
“I won't let that last part happen to you. I'll be possessive of you. A lot of vampires are when they first take a thrall, so don't worry, that won't be a problem.”
“But I need to act like my life isn't complete if your cock is anywhere but in me or on me.”
“And you need to act like you know you're hot enough that I want to put that cock in you every five minutes as well.”
She exhaled and studied me for a moment. I watched her breathe, unable to help my gaze wandering to her throat and neck as she did. While she was going through an array of emotions, she was still enticing and it had been a while now since I'd fed. My hunger for her was growing, but I knew it would be better for both of us if I waited.
With far more confidence than she'd displayed before, she walked over to me, a little more sway to her body. She reached her arms up and draped both over my shoulders, her gaze locked on my face.
As she kissed me again, she pressed her whole body full up against mine. Thanks to all my teasing earlier, she was very turned on and it was obvious as I wrapped my arms around her.
“How was that?” she asked, her voice almost husky as she broke off the kiss. Her eyes had the cloudy, turned on look that she needed and every aroma coming off her was one of desire and hunger for me.
“Better, but you need to be confident and comfortable when other vampires get this close to you and when I'm doing more.” I slid my hand up her leg.
As her breath faltered and she bit her lip, I couldn't help but grin. She might not have done a good job of fooling anyone that she was enthralled, but she was very attracted to me and I didn't think it was all vampire charm.
Chapter 16
Anais
I tried not to panic as Leo ran his hands over me again. Not only was I so ready to orgasm that I felt a tightness between my thighs and could barely think of anything other than getting off somehow.
Although I'd had a boyfriend or two and certainly wasn't a virgin, nothing had come close to how good it felt every time Leo put his hands on me. Or in me.
