Page 72 of A Bond Beyond Blood

“Sweet girl,” I murmured, “you have no idea what you’re doing to me.”

“Show me,” she whispered breathlessly.

I had her out of the bath and pressed against the wall before she could say another word.

Eyes wide, Jacqueline gasped as I claimed her mouth, kissing her fiercely, driving my tongue between her lips to taste her with firm, demanding strokes.She moaned and I rocked my hips against her core, stopping abruptly when she whimpered.

I pulled back, searching her face for any sign of discomfort.“I hurt you.”

“No,” she said firmly.“It wasn’t that kind of sound.”

Narrowing my eyes, I held her gaze as I dropped one hand between us and unbuttoned my fly slowly, smirking when her pupils dilated with lust.She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and tightened her legs around my waist, positioning her sweet cunt at my tip once I’d freed my cock, her entire body slick and dripping with bathwater.

“Please,” she said, even as she took control and eased herself onto my dick.

I sucked in a breath as her heat engulfed me slowly.It took every ounce of self-control to remain still as the monster in me roared with need.It wanted to slam her against the wall, claim her, tear into her supple flesh and drink her down.The hunger burned in my veins, a prickly sensation that wouldn’t abate until I fed again, but even then, where Jacqueline was concerned, a hint of that monster always remained, waiting patiently to stake its claim over her.

But she’d been beaten quite fiercely just a week ago, and though she was healing faster than I’d expected, I had to maintain control.I wouldn’t bite her, but even the idea of fucking her too hard made me uneasy.She wasn’t delicate, my girl, but she was human.

So I held still, waited for my sweet girl to take the reins.

There were still so many bruises over her silky skin, the damaged muscles and tissue around her ribs, and a tailbone that had caused her nothing but grief for this past week.I had to let her steer this ship.

When she’d buried me inside her as deeply as she could, Jacqueline sighed—

And I almost came from that sound alone.

Leaning forward, I pressed her shoulder blades into the wall and braced my forearms against the wall on either side of her shoulders.Then I bent my legs just enough that she could rock against my thighs, and dragged my teeth along her jawline until I could lick up the shell of her ear.She shivered and I chuckled, the sound drawing a delicious shudder from her body in response.Her pussy clenched and flexed around me, greedy little thing, so I sucked her earlobe into my mouth, then rocked my hips forward to encourage her.

“You’re in control,” I murmured against her ear.

She whimpered and rocked her hips, squeezing my cock with a quick flex of her inner walls.

“That’s a good girl, Jacqueline, fuck me,” I whispered, scraping my teeth along her jaw.“Take what you need.”

She made a needy mewling sound in her throat, then, using her thick thighs and the pressure of the wall at her back, she lifted her hips, then sank down onto me again and we moaned in tandem.

“That’s it, sweet girl, just like that.I’ve got you.”

“Kiss me,” she said as she lifted herself once more, then lowered back down slowly.I turned my face and caught her mouth, kissing her unhurriedly to match the pace of each steady rise and fall of her hips, capturing each sound she made, each exhalation as her breathing picked up speed in rhythm with her hips.

Growling impatiently, Jacqueline dug her fingertips into my scalp to deepen the kiss and I slipped my arms around her waist, then spun her away from the wall.Using memory alone, I strode back into the bedroom and turned as I reached the bed, then lowered us onto it, holding her to me as I leaned back, feet braced on the floor.She moaned and pressed her hands to my chest, then broke the kiss, pushing up to ride my cock.

So fucking beautiful like this, my girl, with her hair falling around her in waves, her small tits bouncing, stomach flexing, muscular thighs bracing me on either side.

I ran my hands up her stomach, over her breasts, thumbing each nipple into peaks, then I slid one hand behind her neck and brought her back down to me so I could lick into her mouth again, but the second she dug her fingernails into my chest, my fangs extended and I caught the fleshy side of her tongue, drawing just a nip of blood.

The monster roared with delight, hunger skating through my veins like fire.It burned up my spine, my throat, desperation clawing at my flesh as I strained to contain the craving.

I froze, my entire body rigid as hunger on the verge of madness pressed against my skin, the beast I kept caged and tethered struggling to break loose now that Iknew.

Now that I knew without a doubt, she tasted as close to heaven as I expected she would.

No donor could come close; no feeding would ever truly satisfy me again.

“Vinny?”she whispered, her body tensing above me.“Are you okay?”

Just a hint of copper in her breath made my limbs jerk, my hands flexing on her supple flesh, Just that tease of her blood and I almost gave in, almost succumbed.I gave my head a quick shake and closed my mouth tight, stopped breathing altogether, then turned my head to the side and squeezed my eyes shut until I could find my self-control.
