A jolt of ecstasy ran through my core the moment his lips touched mine. The rational part of my brain was screaming at me that this was dangerous, that he was so on edge that he might actually drain me, but the other half was pulling him closer and letting him thrust his tongue into my mouth. I moaned, deep and soft, as his tongue met mine causing fire to course through me and pool at my centre.
I was firmly trapped between the warmth of his chest and the unyielding wall behind me. I wasn’t going anywhere. I didn’t want to. I was willingly offering myself up to the beast as his meal and there was nowhere I would rather be.
His kiss became urgent. His hands roamed down my hips and around the back of my thighs. In one swift motion, he lifted me higher up the wall and I wrapped my legs around his waist to hold on. He pinned me to the wall with his hips and I could feel the hard length of him as he ground his hips into mine. I moaned deep into his mouth as his hands trailed up my sides. One settled under the curve of my breast and the other curled around the back of my neck with a firm grip. His kiss deepened still, and I became completely lost in the taste of him. I wanted this, wanted him and it surprised me that I wanted it with everything I had.
Jasper pulled back from the panty-melting kiss and looked deeply into my eyes.
“Are you sure?”
I nodded. I was more than sure.
“You must push me away if you get lightheaded. I am not in control and I fear what I may do to you.”
That didn’t sound good. But I trusted that his need to keep me alive outweighed the potential urge to drain me. And besides, I had a Shadow Fiend lurking somewhere if I was desperate.
I tilted my head to the side to give him better access, and hunger flashed in his eyes at the sight of the stretched column of my neck. He placed a tender kiss against the skin before leaving a blazing trail of fire with his tongue as he licked the length of it.
Adrenaline flushed my system, heightening the pleasure and bliss already coursing through me. He hadn’t even bitten me yet and I was already on the cusp of exploding. The scrape of his fangs against my neck elicited a delicious shiver. His mouth sealed over the spot where my artery was, and I couldn’t even begin to describe the joy I felt at the prospect of giving him my life’s blood. This was more than a mere exchange of sustenance. It went deeper than that. I could feel the connection between us strengthening and a giddiness zipped through me as I sensed the moment coming nearer.
The pinch of his fangs was nothing compared to the euphoria that erupted within me as his fangs descended into the soft flesh of my neck. My breath was ripped from my lungs and my mouth dropped in a silent scream. My core clenched as pleasure flooded my system and my body writhed beneath him as I felt wave after wave of earth-shattering bliss race through me. I groaned as I felt him draw my blood from my neck. I didn’t know how much he’d taken. I didn’t care. I wanted more. I wanted him inside me.
He ripped his face away from me and pulled his hands from my body, resting them either side of my head as he tried to catch his breath. He bowed his head and rested it against my shoulder. His entire body flexed, and I could feel the muscles in his chest tightening beneath my fingers. I suddenly thought it was a shame he was still fully clothed. I would have liked to have seen that.
“Are you… alright?” I asked, my voice quivering with the aftershocks of what Jasper had just put my body through. Fuck. I still couldn’t breathe.
Words tumbled from his lips, but I didn’t quite catch them. I placed my hands under his chin and lifted his face so I could see him clearly.
“You’ll have to speak slower than that.” A gurgle of laughter escaped me, and a lazy smile curled my lips. I felt like I was riding a high, like my mind was floating somewhere else.
“I had forgotten how exquisite you taste.” Jasper licked his lips, making sure he had every last drop.
I couldn’t think straight. Pleasure still coursed through my body removing all rational thought. “What have you done to me?”
“Forgive me. Normally, I would be able to control the euphoria that comes from a vampire bite. But my control on my inner beast is… well… it is lacking today. I have not fed for a while and—”
I put my finger to his lips, interrupting his explanation. “Shush.” I ran my fingers across his full lips, and he nipped at my finger. “Do you need more?”
He grinned wickedly. “I’m not sure you could handle more.”
He was probably right but I needed to know he’d taken enough. “I don’t want you to starve.”
Hunger flashed through his eyes as his thumb stroked the length of my neck. I was still trying to calm the rapid beat of my heart, but his touch just seemed to fuel the fire coursing through me.
“Please,” I begged. “Please take more if you need it.”
“Promise me you will call your Fiend if you need to. I feel like a newly turned vampire and I don’t think I should be trusted. My inner beast wants you just as much as I do.”
I should push him away, should leave the room and walk away from him. I definitely shouldn’t be grinning like a wild thing or offering my neck to him a second time. Yet here I was, doing just that.
“I promise.”
The words had barely left my mouth before Jasper sank his fangs into my neck again. The bite was unexpected and sudden but the waves of pleasure that rolled through were not. They built and built the longer he drank from me. Every draw from his mouth added more bliss to the onslaught that was racking my body. My core tightened, hurtling me towards an earth-shattering climax that was only seconds away. His hips rolled against my centre where I needed it the most. It was all I needed to send me careening over the edge into sheer unadulterated bliss.
I screamed as every nerve ending in my body shattered and threw me into complete oblivion. My body shook and my teeth clenched as a force of pleasure, so intense that blackness danced along the edges of my vision and nearly pulled me under. I didn’t know which way was up. If Jasper was still feeding. I didn’t care. All I knew was that I had just experienced the most intense orgasm of my life and he’d barely touched me. How the fuck was I supposed to survive sex with this vampire?
“Are you—”
“Shhh…” I interrupted. “Give me a second to… catch my breath. That was…”
