“There’s no coming back from this. If I bite and feed, while you have my blood in your system…”
“I know. Do it,” I say.
Despite her piercings, her nipples harden and just saying the words is worth it for the view.
“Are you sure?” she says, even though her fangs are already dropping.
“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. In a strange way, I feel like I’ve been here a thousand times before. I feel like I was always meant to love you. Like maybe I’ve loved you before.”
Doubt seeps into her expression. She opens her mouth as if she’s going to say something, but the blood lust is soaking into my system, and I need to make her come. I need to come. So I lean up and kiss her forehead.
“Feed from me. I want you to do it. Own me the way you really want to. Take me. Fuck me. Drink from me and make me yours. While my heart beats, it will only beat for you.”
I hold my hands up, and she laces hers into mine, interlocking us the way I know our hearts have been for so, so long.
She opens her mouth, and I tilt my neck exposing the long carotid artery for her. She growls and then lowers her head to my neck.
“Last chance t—” she says.
But I lurch up and make her fangs sink into my neck.
There’s a blazing white pain that flashes across my vision and then a pulse of the most intense electric pleasure I’ve ever experienced.
“Fuck,” I cry out as my vision hazes, and I drive the cock up and into her. My own pussy tightens against the vibrations of my end and the intoxication of her venom flowing into my system.
Her fingers dig into my back where she pulls me to her, her tongue laps at my neck. My blood threads through my veins and out of my neck. It’s hot and stings but underneath it is a pulse, like the rhythm of her heartbeat, and with every thud electricity spills into my body. I lean my head back, gasping as wave after wave of pleasure tears through my body. She pulls off me only to angle her neck.
“Feed from me,” she says.
So I do. And as I sink my teeth into her neck again while she drinks from me, the entire world shifts. My vision becomes a blur of colours, my senses ignite, everything rushes to my core. My cunt tightens as she rides my lap, both of us feeding like the savages we’ve become. My cells swell, my soul shifts, fraying at the edges as it mats together with hers. My life drifts through my mind, memories, black spots, heartache, loss and her.
Always her.
My constant.
My villain.
My hero.
She rips her mouth off my neck and roars into the night as both of us tip over into the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had. My whole body shivers against hers.
We hold each other, the night wrapping it’s dark cloak around us, knowing everything is different and it can never go back to the way it was.
Chapter41
CORDELIA
One Thousand Years Ago
There are some loves that transcend time, space and law. Eleanor was that for me.
I’d spent a year hiding, making excuses, leaving the manor in the depths of midnight, finding ailments and issues that would mean I could justify a visit to the apothecary. Mother was strict you see, the longer I remained unmarried, the more she would fluster and book events and balls. It became tiring rather quick and unfortunately, harder to see Eleanor. But I stole what moments I could.
I should have realised Mother would figure out something was up. But Eleanor swept me away, made me forget reality. She captured me in her arms and filled me with love and joy that bent the shape of my world and convinced me that fate would help us last. That we could have this love that our families thought shouldn’t be.
But dreams like that never last. Love like that isn’t meant to be. And I should have known better.
