Page 60 of Ashvale: The Vampire's Thrall

More vampires were in a state of undress than clothed now, the scent of blood heavy in the air. I didn't want to be watched, not in the way that some of the vampires were on display, but—

Hayes took my hand and pulled us closer to one of the shadowy alcoves at the edge of the hall. They were dimly lit by candlelight but the sounds of other vampires reached us as the slap of skin on skin and throaty moans echoed through the space.

My hands were greedy as they found his shoulders, touching and tugging and wantingmore. I knew he was happy to oblige. Hayes reached down and freed his dick from his trousers, stroking it once, twice, and I could feel the ache moving through him. I dropped to my knees and took him in my mouth, swallowing him down in almost one go and salivating at the taste of him, sweet and salty in my mouth. I worked him to the edge and then stood, letting my mouth trail off of his hard length, my tongue flicking over his tip in one last tease.

The wet sound of fucking emerged somewhere on our right and two unmistakably male grunts followed the high moans of a woman clearly having the time of her life.

"You want to put on a show?" Hayes said, his voice dark and wicked in my ear. "You want them to hear but not see?"

I nodded and he smiled, his hand reaching behind me to unzip my dress, his gaze darkening when he saw the set I'd worn at his instruction.

"I need to taste you," he growled and I parted my legs as he knelt between them, his tongue sliding over me wetly and making my clit throb. I yelped as he guided me down onto his face as he laid back and at first I held myself back, not wanting to crush him, but his hands reached up and pulled me down onto his tongue with force and I moaned.

He tongue-fucked me and I knew the others could hear, the thought making it hotter even knowing they couldn't see anything. I came with a whimper, riding Hayes' face until he lifted me off of him and I felt him nudging against me.

A variety of moans filtered to us as Hayes lined himself up beneath me, pushing through my wetness until I was whimpering. I leaned down and bit him, drinking deeply and licking the excess from my mouth when I sat up.

His fingers found my clit and I gasped, rolling my hips to meet him and then crying out when his dick filled my arse and not my pussy.

"It's a shame Rowan left early." Hayes groaned as he thrust into me harder, faster, his fingers finding my pussy and slipping inside. "We could have filled you so good.”

The sex was frenzied, a true fucking, his hips slamming up to mine as his fingers pulsed against my inner wall. Before I could process it, I'd clamped down around him and was coming so hard I was sure I'd blacked out for a second.

"Did you enjoy that, love?" Hayes asked a second later after he'd finished inside me.

"Yes," I said, exhausted like I'd just run a marathon.

"Let's get you to bed," he said quietly, and I didn't protest when he picked me up and carried me out of the shadows and back into the light.

ChapterTwenty-Eight

I woke up cradled to Hayes'chest, his warmth relaxing me even as his proximity awoke other feelings.

"Morning," he murmured and I smiled, pressing a kiss to his chest as I rolled away.

"No," he groaned. "Where are you going?"

"Shower," I said, a teasing smile on my mouth, "somebody had me on my knees in a filthy alcove."

He looked smug at the reminder and I laughed, detouring to the door when someone knocked—or hammered on it was more accurate.

"Thank fuck you're okay,” Novalie said as she brushed past me with Emerson and Rowan on her tail.

"Why wouldn't I be okay?" I gave Hayes a confused look and snorted when I saw he'd pulled his covers and pillow over his head.

"They found an undead vampire this morning," Emerson said quietly, "drained of all their blood."

Hayes peeked out of the covers, a flicker of hope in his eyes. "Was it Adrian Curio?"

"Nobody knows who it is," Novalie said, throwing her hands into the air. "That's why we all ran over here to check on the undead vampire we all actually give a shit about."

I bit my lip on a smile. "Thank you."

"Another murder though," Emerson said, shaking her head, sparkly makeup still smudged around her eyelids.

We all fell silent and Hayes sighed. "Well, I guess I’m awake now. I’ll call Cal. An undead vampire changes things."

"How so?" Rowan said, a sharpness to his voice that made me narrow my eyes.
