Page 29 of The Vampire Always Rises
He glanced at her, unsure of how to process the emotions she was pouring into him. She truly was at peace with a past filled with abuse and what was little more than neglect, and didn’t understand why he was so angry. The rage he still felt fueled a need within him, one that was heightened by her physical contact.
And suddenly, he couldn’t cope with it any longer. He pulled the car under the gnarled branches of an old olive tree that hung over the road, and tore the seat belt from his body.
“What—,” Tempest said, her eyes huge as he lunged for her, managing to get her out of her seat belt without hurting her or damaging the car. His mouth was on hers before he could think of what he was doing, the emotions inside him threatening to spill out. Her lips parted, allowing him entrance, the taste of her sending his mind reeling.
Yes. This was the taste of the goddess, the one who had danced through his dreams.
Grape juice, you are so hot! So ... oooh, you can do that with your tongue? It’s so sinful! I love it! Do it again.
He twined his tongue around hers again, the hunger inside growing until it pushed aside the rage.I do not want to take from you if you are not willing.
Glorioski, Merrick!She squirmed in his hold, sliding one leg around him and trying to pull him closer.If you don’t bite me right now, I’m going to bite you!
That is interesting, and I will address that at some future date, but right now—are you sure? You know what might follow.
Here? In the car? Where anyone can see us?
The tree hides us, the windows are tinted, and it’s dark outside.
Hot potato! Bite me!
Only if you are sure—
BITE ME, VAMPIRE!
He managed to pull his mouth from hers, his brain swamped with all sorts of erotic images, things he wanted to do to her, wanted her to do to him, and possibly even some they’d do at the same time to each other, but uppermost in his mind was the hunger, the need to take what she so clearly was offering. He kissed a path along her jaw, down her neck, the red need blinding him to everything but the woman held so awkwardly in his arms. Just as he was about to bite, his lips touched a thickening of skin at the point where her neck met her shoulders, obviously one of her scars. He switched directions, and bit into her upper arm, the taste of her flowing into his mouth satisfying on a level he’d never experienced.
“Oh my good garden gnome, that’s ... it stings for about a second, but then it’s just ... hooo ... it kind of winds me up, you know. I mean, my breasts feel really sensitive, and my lady garden is just buzzing like crazy. No wonder this ends in sexy times. Although I just don’t see how this is going to happen here in the car.”
He pulled his mouth from her arm, swirling his tongue over the mark to help it heal, then, without speaking, lifted her up and slid underneath her, reaching down alongside the seat to pull a lever.
“The seat goes back? Whatever will they think of next! Oh, hi, doggy.” She giggled at the dog, who obligingly scooted over to the other side of the backseat, allowing Merrick to fully recline.
“Last chance,” he told Tempest, his hands sliding up her bare legs, adjusting them so she straddled him.
“To say no? Are you insane? You’re a vampire! This is like the ultimate fantasy for tens of thousands of women the world over. Hundreds of thousands!” She rose up and, with fingers that he wanted to praise to the sky, got his belt unhooked and his fly lowered. “Golly. You’re a bit bigger than you were before.”
“I doubt that.” He pulled her down toward him, the hunger not yet sated.
“It must be because you were deflated.”
He paused in the act of nuzzling across the exposed upper slopes of her breasts. “I assure you that I’m anything but deflated.”
“You were then. It’s because you had no blood in you. You know, kind of like a deflated balloon. Am I supposed to do fellatio here? Because if I am, you’re going to have to give me some help. I’ve never done it, and don’t exactly know what to do. I mean, it’s not the sort of thing I can ask Ellis, is it?”
Another time I would very much like to introduce you to the joys of oral sex, but I am close to the edge now. Kiss me.
Oooh, so demanding.She leaned forward, her lips teasing his in a way that just made him harder, if that was possible. Her mouth was sweet, though, almost as if she’d been eating honey, and wholly intoxicating. He groaned into her mouth when she shifted and positioned him properly, the heat from her body tempting him inside.
Thousands of little muscles seemed to grip him as he entered her, the feeling almost too much to bear. It fired the hunger again. He licked a path to a spot above her right breast, the drawing in his loins causing him to bite the tender flesh, her gasp of pain turning immediately into a moan of ecstasy.This is ... are you sure we can do it like this? ... You’re so right in there, and merciful heavens, youarebigger!
If I am, it’s because you are so hot.
Make me burn, Merrick.
He thrust upward as he drank from her, his body desperate to finish. He had to think of her, though. Evidently she was a neophyte at lovemaking, and he wanted to make it good for her. He reined in his emotions, holding them with an iron grip while he attempted to bring her pleasure. Just when he had himself in check, her sensations flooded his mind in a way that caused his control to go flying.
She arched back when he shouted a wordless cry of exultation, the thousand muscles rippling around him in a manner guaranteed to drive him to the brink of sanity.
