As soon as the smell of seared meat permeated the kitchen, Nina jumped off her chair and yanked the fork from my hand, stabbing the beef with a vengeance before lifting the whole chunk to her mouth.
‘Shit… shit, it’s hot. Gods, it’s delicious. I love you so much,’ she muttered, stuffing her mouth with the bleeding meat while I observed her, trying my best not to laugh at the comical sight.
Nina looked ridiculous, but for the first time today, she was relaxed enough to be unguarded and silly, blowing on the sizzling meat and trying to lick her lips as its juices squirted everywhere. It was so adorable that I couldn’t help but tease her.
‘Me or the meat?’ I asked, and her confused frown nearly broke me.
‘What?’
‘You said I love you, but I’m not sure if you meant me… or the steak you’re salivating over right now. Frankly, I’m jealous. You never looked at me like you’re looking at that prime piece of beef right now.’
Nina pushed the last piece into her mouth before she came closer.
‘Hmm, tough choice. I mean, you do taste delicious, but a good steak can really get a girl going.’
Nina’s answer broke my self-control, and I laughed until she moved so close that our breath mingled, and she looked at me from beneath the curtain of her eyelashes. I couldn’t look away as my temptress pursed her lips, her tongue peeking out to tempt and bewitch.
‘Adam?’ she said, practically purring, ‘May I ask you something?’
‘Anything, my love,’ I managed, swallowing hard. Her body, the way she moved, and her low, raspy voice sent shivers down my spine. Whether or not she was conscious of the fact, Nina drove me wild.
‘Good, so can you tell me why I’ve felt so horny since we arrived? Is this normal? Or will I always feel like I want to rip your clothes off and ride you till you’re begging for mercy? What is wrong with me? I’ve just been through the worst night of my life. I killed someone, for fuck’s sake. How can I be thinking of pushing you back on the table and licking you from top to tail?’ She asked, looking at me with lust-filled eyes whilst wearing a worried frown.
The sweet torture Nina was struggling with wasn’t helping my own difficulties as I gripped the marble beneath my hands whilst hiding my almost painful erection behind its surface.
The soft tones ofSmooth Operatorand Sade’s sensual voice filled the room, adding to my torment.
‘Lorelai, you are not helping!’ I bellowed while Nina laughed.
‘Are you all right? Maybe I should take a look at what’s causing you so much pain.’ Nina smiled, and I nearly whimpered.
‘Nina, all newly turned vampires have heightened senses, and it can be overwhelming until they can adjust; eyesight, taste, smell, and even touch can be difficult. You will be so sensitive that the sun will make going outside during the day impossible until you’ve adapted.’ My explanation was meant to discourage Nina from doing anything she might regret until after she could think a little clearer, but I was a vampire who preyed on lust, and this woman before me was everything I’d ever dreamt of.
Adrenaline was still coursing through Nina’s veins. I knew just how that felt. I’d been so close to losing her that the need to reaffirm our survival was difficult to deny. For a newly turned vampire, it would feel more urgent.
At any other time, I would be happy to oblige, but I didn’t want to take advantage even if my own body protested this refusal.
‘You’re saying this will fade?’ She asked, without realising she was stalking me in a predatory manner. Nina’s transformation was progressing faster than I’d realised. I twisted around, keeping my posture relaxed even as she leaned forward, placing her hands on my chest.
‘It won’t fade, but it will get easier to deal with. You’ll adjust, adapt, and learn to enjoy your new abilities. For now, you’re driven by your body’s needs, and it’s clouding your judgement,’ I said, gasping when Nina’s hand stroked downwards till it rested on my crotch.
She began running her nails lightly over the bulging fabric. My wings nearly burst from my body as shivers ran down my spine, and I heard marble cracking as my grip on the table tightened.
‘I don’t want to adjust. I want to enjoy these feelings with you,’ she insisted, pressing up against me.
‘This isn’t a good idea, my love. I want you; there’s no denying that with my hard-on beneath your hand…’ I tried to talk, but Nina kept rubbing my manhood, making my thoughts an incoherent mess. ‘Sweetheart, I’m no saint, so could you please not….’
I fell silent as Nina slid her hand into my trousers. That was it; I’d reached my breaking point, and this vixen had gleefully pushed me well beyond it with a smile on her lips. I didn’t care about anything now except showing Nina exactly why you don’t tease a Master Vampire when you are his sole desire.
I grabbed my prey with a swiftness that made Nina gasp, lifting her up and throwing her onto the tabletop. My gaze dropped to the clothes that concealed my woman’s beautiful body, and moments later, their tattered remains fell to the floor. Now, it was my lips that held the predatory smile, and as I leaned close to breathe in her delectable scent, my hands lightly traced over her thighs, enjoying the way she trembled under my touch.
‘Adam, don’t you dare tease me right now,’ she commanded as I paused to run my fangs over her collarbone.
I looked at her heavy-lidded eyes and pressed a nail to her inner thigh, smirking as she opened her legs to invite me closer.
‘I shall take you as I desire, sweetheart. If you insist on destroying my self-control, then I insist on you enjoying the consequences.’ Nina’s throaty chuckle when I stepped back was music to my ears, and I slowly drew down my trouser’s zip, allowing my hard cock to spring free.
The growl that Nina made as she looked down made me even harder, but when she reached forward, I pinned her arms back and revelled in the sight of her skin blushing pink. Nina arched her back as my tongue teased her pebbled nipples, her breath hitching.
