“No, it’s not that. At all. You need to remember, I haven’t been with a man for over three hundred years. I…. I’m not sure if I can make it right for you.”
Interesting that the so-called “top of the food chain” worried about silly things like that. Diego was far more human than he believed.
“Diego, I would be perfectly content with you holding me while we slept.” He slid a hand down Diego’s chest and wrapped it around a rather impressive erection. “I would like this. A lot. But I can be patient.” He let go and stepped back.
“Noooo,” Diego moaned, reaching out for Shay.
“What’s wrong?”
A shake of his head. “I don’t want you to stop. Your hand felt so good. Too good.”
“Okay, how about you tell me what you’d like? Do you want me to touch you? I need to have permission before I do anything else.”
He smirked. “I don’t know that anyone has ever said they needed permission from a vampire. Usually it’s the other way around.” He stroked his fingers over Shay’s shoulders. “I don’t want you to stop. I just don’t want to disappoint you.”
“Sunshine, my last sexual encounter was with the man who beat me near to death. As long as you don’t hurt me, I’m pretty sure we’ll be good.”
Diego’s eyes darkened and he flashed a bit of fang. “I could find him,” he ground out. “Show him why it’s never a good idea to hurt someone a vampire cares for.”
No. Shay regretted saying anything. He wanted this, with Diego. He didn’t need someone else intruding. Therapy had been good for Shay. Had helped him find that strength he was sure he lacked. And he—wait.
“You care for me?”
“I do. You’ve been so good and kind and patient, and you helped pull me into this century. Yes, I was kicking and screaming, but I’m here, not back in my old life. Empatia is proud of myprogress, which she says has its roots in allowing you to be in my life.” He leaned in and kissed Shay, who couldn’t help but whimper.
“Can I touch you?” Shay all but begged, wanting desperately to get his hands on Diego. To see if reality was as good as the dreams had been.
“I would love that,” Diego said with a smile.
Shay dropped to his knees, Diego’s hard-on bouncing in front of his face. It smelled heavenly and looked even better. He reached out and gripped it. It was warm, girthy, and a bit of precome beaded at the tip. Unable to stop, Shay leaned forward and flicked his tongue over the thick head, drawing a moan from Diego and earning a hand clamping on Shay’s shoulders, tugging him closer.
“Shay, did those files you read say anything about sex with a vampire?”
Had it? Not that he’d noticed, but then again, Shay might have skipped the parts about sexual relations because initially he’d had no interest in doing anything with anyone.
Then came Diego.
“Not that I know of.”
Diego pushed Shay’s head back, just out of reach of his cock, even if he stuck out his tongue. “A vampire’s sex drive is off the charts. We can go for hours, quite literally.”
“Is that encouragement or a deterrent?” Shay asked, grinning.
Diego shook his head. “What I was like in life? My vampire self is even more so.”
Shay sat back on his haunches. “I don’t understand.”
“I wasn’t a cruel lover, but I was a demanding one. The couple of times when I had sex, my partner complained about me being rough, almost animalistic. I left marks on their body, even though I hadn’t meant to. I didn’t want to draw any attention to what we’d done.”
Marks? “Like bruises?”
Diego nodded. “Hickeys too. Lots and lots of hickeys.” He grinned. “I liked the way it looked, especially against darker skin. It was as if I was marking my property, even knowing it was a death sentence if we were caught.”
A shiver ran through Shay at Diego’s words. This wasn’t being blood-tied—this was being turned the fuck on. He reached out, grabbed Diego’s hips, and pulled him forward, opening his mouth wide to accept the cock that had been haunting him and his dreams. He took as much as he could, and if Diego was shocked, he didn’t show it. He put the hand back on Shay’s head and guided him up and down several times, then pulled him deep.
“This is how I like it,” Diego growled. “Suck me.”
Happily! Yes, fine. Shay had a kink. He liked his sex to have a little bit of an edge to it. Nothing painful, but the feel of being dominated was definitely a huge turn on. When Diego locked both hands around Shay’s head and shoved hard, Shay relaxed his throat as much as possible, allowing the shaft to slip inside.
