If he didn't remember his past at all, then maybe not.
He probably needed a moment.
I inched a little closer to him, until our thighs touched. That glare he was giving me? Yeah, that didn't scare me. After all, I'd just confirmed that he wasn't a monster, and I still felt connected to him in a way that I couldn't explain.
Also, I still wanted to bang him. Totally inappropriate, but there it was.
"I'm sorry," I said. "I let my curiosity run away with me." Something that happened far more often than I cared to admit.
Talon shook his head. "I don't know why my past interests you at all," he said as ifhewasn't affected at all, but I could tell that he was. When I looked at Talon now, I didn't see a paranormal killer. I saw a man who had lost a lot and didn't even know it. He could pretend all he wanted, but I saw the emotion in his eyes. That thing he tried so hard to hide.
I can see you,I thought, and then I touched the scar on his cheek with my fingers. And when he didn't flinch away, I moved in to kiss him.
Chapter Six
Talon didn’t resist, but then, I hadn’t really expected him to. The moment had just felt right, and so did the kiss. It felt more than right. Seriously, kissing Talon was amazing—or rather, letting him kiss me. I’d initiated, but that didn’t stop him from taking over the action when our lips touched. His hand grabbed the back of my head and his tongue explored my mouth in a way that left me breathless. There was a distinct metallic taste to the kiss that should have been gross, but wasn’t.
My cock stiffened in my pants again. God, I wanted this man, never mind if he was a vampire or not.
I let myself fall back on the bed, pulling Talon down on top of me—exactly where I wanted him.
“Fuck me,” I rasped, making my desire clear. If Talon was going to vanish from my life after this night, I at least wanted this first.
Talon gazed at me for a moment, and I thought I could see him warring with himself. He wanted this, I knew he did. But for some reason, he was holding himself back.
I tried making the decision a little bit easier on him by grinding up into him, and yep, he was definitely hard.
He groaned and kissed my neck again, licking that still sensitive spot of skin he’d pricked with his teeth earlier.
My breath hitched. My fingers dug into his ass to press him closer, rubbing our groins together once more.
“Fuck me,” I repeated my demand in my most urgent tone of voice. I didn’t care that he was technically a monster, and I didn’t care what that said about me.
All I cared about was the aching emptiness in my ass and how I wanted it filled—with Talon’s hard dick driving into me.
Talon made a low sound in the back of his throat and I knew I almost had him, so I lifted one hand from his ass to bring it between us instead, cupping the hard bulge in his pants. Even through the fabric, I could tell that he was thick. Thick and solid, just the way I liked it. I licked my lips, fondling him. “I want this in me,” I said, and then I added, “I’ve never had someone so big before,” because I’d learned that the only thing that did a man in faster than stroking his dick was stroking his ego. And if you could do both at the same time, well… “Please,” I leaned up to whisper into his ear. I had no shame when I really wanted something, and I hadn’t wanted anything this badly in a long time.
My shamelessness paid out too. My vampire kissed me again, even more passionately than he had the first time. He could deny his need all he wanted, but I felt it in the way his tongue rubbed against mine and sent shivers down my spine.
And then, Talon backed up on the bed and pulled my pants down. I helped by kicking the fabric off as soon as it hit my ankles, and I suppose I could have pulled my underwear down too, but I kind of enjoyed having Talon do it.
I moaned when my cock was finally exposed to the cold air of my room, and then my skin heated up all over again when Talon took me in with the kind of hunger in his eyes that let me know he was about to devour me.
“All yours,” I said, and then I rolled to the side to grab the lube out of my bedside table’s small drawer. Thank God that was still there.
I tossed the bottle at Talon. “Do vampires carry STDs?”
“No.”
“Then hurry up and fuck me.”
To Talon’s credit, he got right to it.
I turned on my back, and he slipped a lubed finger down my crack, teasing my rim in a way I had absolutely no patience for. I moved back against his fingers. “C’mon,” I groaned, “I’m not made of glass.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been with a mortal,” Talon explained, his voice just a little husky.
“Yeah? Momma taught you not to play with your food?”
