Nik’s eyes rolled back in his head as the sweetness of her blood mixed with the muskiness of her sex to flood his mouth and throat. He continued to suck her off as she bucked above him, his cock jerking with every cry.
Unable to wait any longer, he lifted her away from his mouth and moved her down the length of him. Bending his knees to meet her, he was deep inside of her with one strong thrust, his own cry of pleasure joining hers at the feel of her tight grip around him.
One hand on her hip, he used the other one to grip the back of her neck, and pulled her down to his throbbing fangs. Sliding out of her, he thrust back in at the same time his fangs sank deep into her nape. With a deep pull, he growled as her blood rushed down his throat, healing him and exciting him, filling him with her lifeblood as he filled her.
With strength flooding through him, he sat up and flipped her over, and sank his fangs into her again.
Then Nik allowed the hunger to overtake him.
There was no gentleness as he took her, just an overwhelming need to consume her, body and soul.
Emma cried out beneath him as another orgasm hit her, pulling him over the edge with her. Releasing her neck, he threw his head back with a roar as he exploded inside of her, her pulsing sheath squeezing every last drop from him.
Head thrown back, fangs bared, muscle straining, Nik gave himself over completely to her.
Her hands roamed limply over his chest and arms as he lowered his head and closed the wound in her neck, and he thought he’d never get enough of the feel of her touching him.
Collapsing on top of her, he rolled to the side, pulled her with him and held her close. For a long time, the only sound was their ragged breathing as they lay curled around each other.
Running his hand over her bright hair and down her soft back, Nik asked, “Did I hurt you?”
Emma pulled back a bit and looked up at him with heavy lids, her lips curving up happily. “No. I’m fine. Truly. Just a bit sleepy.”
Nik took in her tired features. She looked even paler than before, if that was possible, even after all their exertion just now. “Here. Drink from me, Em. It’ll make you feel better.” He paused. “And, because I’d like you to. I want you to be with me. Completely. And for a long, long time.”
“Okay.” She smiled a little. “But only if you promise to dothatagain.”
Chuckling, he lifted his wrist to his mouth, efficiently opening a vein. He offered it to her, and watched her drink from him. A strong feeling of contentment washed over him as she raised her hand and held him to her mouth.
This was right. This was how it should be.
He let her drink a little more than she should have, enjoying the sound of her soft moans, watching the color come back into her face. Her eyes popped open as he started to pull his arm away, her brows lowering in a frown of displeasure. “That’s enough, Em. You need to leave me some, ya know.” He smiled as her eyes widened and she immediately let go of him.
“Sorry,” she mumbled, licking her lips.
He could practically see his blood rushing through her system, chasing away the fatigue, tickling her nerve endings, heating her blood.
She reached down and wrapped her small hand around him, licking her lips again as he grew in her hand. He rolled his hips toward her as she ran her hand up and down his length, and she gasped as he swelled to his full size, her fingers unable to reach completely around him.
Desire and deep need shone from her eyes when she looked up at him, and he knew the same reflected back to her from his.
“Nikulas,” she pleaded.
Nik ran his hand up the outside of her thigh and over her rounded ass, dipping his hand between her legs from behind. She was wet and ready for him. With a helpless moan, he rolled her beneath him. Sliding an arm under her leg, he entered her with one long, smooth thrust.
His Emma didn’t need to ask twice.
Chapter 52
Nik cracked his eyes open and squinted at the clock next to the bed. It was almost dawn. He groaned and pulled Emma in closer to him.
“We’re never going to leave this bed again, are we?” she teased. Her voice was husky from the cries he’d wrung from her throughout the night. They’d spent the night re-learning each other, until Emma was so exhausted, even his blood couldn’t keep her eyes from sliding closed.
Nik sighed against her back. “Unfortunately, we’re going to have to. Well, at least I am. The sun will be up soon, and you don’t have any shades over your windows.”
Emma frowned as she squinted at the windows. “I’m going to have to order some.”
He dropped a kiss on her shoulder, then Nik rolled over and flicked on the bedside lamp. He needed a shower, and he planned on sharing it.
