Blake's Pursuit (27 page)

“You can’t be serious! This is your office.”

“I know it’s my office. Samson told me to take a breather. I’m just following orders.”

She pointed to the bed, which had now lowered completely. Clean-looking crisp sheets were stretched over the mattress. “I don’t think Samson meant this when he told you to rest.”

Despite her words, he lowered her onto the mattress and began to undress in front of her. “Trust me, baby, this will give me more energy than many hours of rest.”

“We can’t have sex now! We have to prepare to rescue Hannah. We need to be ready when Ronny gets the call—”

“—which won’t be for at least another hour and a half, maybe two. My team is already taking care of everything. There’s nothing else we can do but wait.” He winked at her. “Let’s kill some time.”

“You’re incorrigible.”

He shrugged. “Another one of my many flaws. I’m sure you’ll get used to it. Now strip, baby!”

Blake was already naked in front of Lilo, as she started peeling her clothes off.

So she thought him possessive? She’d seen nothing yet. She would be just as possessive of him once she was his. And he couldn’t wait for that. Couldn’t wait for her to claim him. But all in good time. First he had to woo her, and show her what it was like to be loved by a vampire.

He watched her undress, feasting his eyes on her as she peeled away layer after layer, until all of her creamy skin was exposed and she lay back on the sheets. She angled one leg and coyly looked up at him from under her long lashes, her hair draped over her shoulders, reaching her rosy nipples. She looked like a pinup girl, and he was determined that only he would see her like this in the future. He just had to play his cards right.

He pinned her with his eyes, then slowly lowered his gaze to his cock, making her follow his look. He was fully erect now, his hard length pumped so full with blood, it was curving toward his navel. His balls had drawn up tight, too.

“Look at what you’re doing to me,” he urged her and wrapped his hand around his hard-on, giving it a quick tug. Pre-cum was already seeping from the tip.

Lilo shifted, propping herself up on her elbows, her breasts jiggling from the sudden motion. “Is that the demonstration of your dominance you were talking about?”

One side of his mouth curled up involuntarily. “Are you trying to mock me?”

“What if I were?”

He crooked his finger. “Sit up. I think you need a little lesson in how to treat your man.”

She pulled her lower lip between her teeth, but sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed. Blake bridged the distance between them with one step, bringing his groin level with her head.

“Now be a good girl and suck me until I tell you to stop.” He nudged his cock at her lips.

Her tongue emerged and she flattened it over the head of his erection. She lifted her eyes to meet his gaze. “Like this?”

“So you’re gonna play innocent now, are you? When we both know what a hot-blooded woman you are.”

Again he nudged against her lips, and they parted on a moan, allowing him in. He eased forward slowly, giving her time to adjust.

“That’s it, Lilo, all of it.” He slid his hands into her hair and massaged her skull gently.

She took him a little deeper, his cock sliding over her tongue.

“Damn, you’re good at this,” he praised and withdrew his hips again just as slowly.

Lilo exhaled and her breath blew over his heated cock, making him shiver with pleasure. “Again,” she murmured and reached for him, wrapping one hand around his root.

He held her head motionless, while he descended once more, sinking into the wet cavern of her mouth. He wanted slow this time, very slow, so he could savor every second of their lovemaking, and prolong their pleasure.

“Look at me,” he ordered.

She lifted her eyes again.

“I’ve never seen a more erotic sight than you with my cock in your mouth.” He couldn’t suppress the moan that was rising from his chest.

She held his gaze and started to move up and down on his erection, wrapping her lips tightly around him, sucking harder than he’d allowed her until now. He felt shudder after shudder race through his body, obliterating any sane thought he might have ever had.

Lilo was turning him into a creature driven only by lust and passion. Nothing else counted. With every second his body heated more, and he knew if he wanted to remain in control, he had to make her stop.

“Enough!” Before it was too late, he stepped back and pulled himself from her mouth.

She looked up at him, her lips in a pout. “You always make me stop just when it starts getting good.”

He chuckled. “Nice try, baby, but I’m the one who’s in charge right now. Maybe some other day I won’t stop you. But for now I have other plans.”

He gave her shoulders a gentle shove so she landed flat on the mattress. He rolled over her, aligning his cock with her center and plunged inside.

“Yessss!” she cried out, arching her back, thus thrusting her breasts at him.

Unable to resist the delicious offering, he dipped his head and captured one nipple between his lips, sucking and licking his tongue over it.

“More!” she demanded, and undulated her hips.

He thrust into her in a steady rhythm, filling her, then withdrawing, while he continued feasting on her breasts, alternately teasing one, then the other, while she writhed beneath him.

She was panting heavily. Her arousal permeated the room, making his nostrils flare and his cock pulse. But he didn’t want to come yet. Taking a deep breath, he slowed his tempo to a more tender rhythm, rocking against her more gently.

“Blake…”

He lifted his head from her breast and gazed at her. Concern jolted through him. “What’s wrong? What do you need, Lilo?”

He noticed her swallow, before her lips parted. “I want you to bite me.”

His heart stopped, and his body froze in mid-movement. “What?”

He couldn’t possibly have heard correctly. He was probably hallucinating.

“Bite me,” she whispered. “Anywhere you like.” Her cornflower-blue eyes shone back at him with untamed lust. “I want to know what it’s like.”

He lifted his hand and ran his fingers along her graceful neck. “You mean it?”

She nodded.

“I must be dreaming.”

“You’re not,” she said. “Please, show me what it’s like.”

Slowly he resumed his movements, thrusting slow and deep into her, then withdrawing just as slowly. Their gazes locked, he willed his fangs to descend, and parted his lips to show her what she would feel pierce her skin in a moment.

“It won’t hurt,” he promised, but hesitated. “Anywhere I want?”

“Anywhere.”

The choice was an easy one. He could always take the vein at her neck some other time, but for their first bite—and he hoped it was only the first of many—he wanted something special.

Still continuing to slide in and out of her warm pussy, he lowered his head back to one breast and rubbed his fangs along either side of her nipple. She trembled beneath him, and instinctively he grabbed both her wrists and pinned her arms to her sides.

“Do it,” she encouraged him.

He set the tips of his fangs to her skin and pressed down. Like scalpels, his fangs drove into her flesh, sinking deep and lodging there before he drew the first drop of blood. The rich red liquid ran down the back of his throat filling all his senses with wonder and awe. He’d bitten other humans before, but sinking his fangs into Lilo was different. He’d suddenly found what he’d been looking for all his life. Nothing before had ever tasted so good, and nothing after would ever be better. He couldn’t imagine ever drinking bottled blood again, now that he was drinking his fill from Lilo’s gorgeous breast.

His vampire body was taking over now, increasing the tempo with which he thrust his cock into her. Ever harder and faster he was taking her, while she moaned and sighed, and her heartbeat raced.

He was still pinning her down by her wrists, but he couldn’t make himself release her, because the knowledge that she was at his mercy turned him on even more, made his cock swell even more. Lilo moved with him as if they’d done this a thousand times before, her pelvis slamming against his with every thrust.

More and more blood filled his mouth, and he knew it was time to stop, or he would take too much. He eased his fangs from her and licked over the tiny incisions, closing them instantly. When he lifted his head to look at her, he saw a woman in ecstasy, her face glistening, her lips parted, moans rolling over them, and her eyes gleaming with lust. She was close. And so was he.

Adjusting his angle, he plunged deeper and harder, his pelvic bone slamming against her clit over and over again. Until, finally, she tensed. One more thrust, and he was there with her as they both hurtled over the edge. He captured her moan of release with his mouth and swallowed it down, letting it bounce against his heart.

He couldn’t tell how long it took to come down from the high, but at some point he rolled to the side and took her with him, cradling her to his chest, draping one of her legs over his thigh, so he wouldn’t slip out of her drenched pussy.

“I can’t even begin to tell you what this means to me,” he murmured against her lips before he kissed her again.

“I thought I was floating on a cloud. I’ve never felt anything so… so amazing.” She opened her eyes. “Is it always like that?”

He smiled. “Between lovers, it’s like this. A vampire’s bite arouses, but it only turns truly erotic when it happens during lovemaking. Only then can the vampire’s bite fully unfold in all its facets.”

“Now I understand why a human would let a vampire bite her.”

He rolled onto his back, pulling her with him, readjusting his groin to fully seat himself inside her again.

“Thank you for letting me drink your blood,” Blake said, combing his fingers through her hair. “I wish I could tell you what it felt like to take you like this. To feel you give yourself to me so freely. Without reservation.” He pressed a kiss to her hair.

“But for you it can’t be anything new. You must have done this many times before.”

He slid his hand under her chin and lifted her head to make her look at him.

“Lilo, I’ve never bitten a woman during sex. I’ve never experienced this before. Sure, I’ve bitten humans before, but it was never like this. Never while making love. No bite has ever felt like what I just experienced with you. It was out-of-this-world. I’m afraid, Lilo, I’m going to get addicted to this, and to you.”

An almost shy smile crossed her lips. “So you might want to do this again?”

He pressed his head back into the pillow, closing his eyes for a moment. “Lilo, just like I could make love to you all day and all night, I would love to sink my fangs into you every single time.” He stroked his fingers over her cheek and traced the outline of her lips. “And I’d be the happiest man on this earth if you allowed me to bite you again.”

He rolled, bringing her underneath him again. “And now, I’d like to thank you for your generous gift.” He began to move inside her, thrusting back and forth.

Lilo gasped. “But you just—”

“—came? Yes, but I have your blood inside me, and guess what it’s doing to me.” He smirked and motioned to his groin. “It’s your own fault for asking me to bite you. I’m afraid naughty women like you need to be taught a lesson.”

She chuckled. “How?”

“Let’s discuss that after your next orgasm.”

“Lilo.”

Blake’s voice was close at her ear. She opened her eyes and shot up to a sitting position, finding Blake sitting at the edge of the Murphy bed, fully dressed. “Did I nod off?”

He brushed his knuckles over her cheek and smiled. “Just a few minutes. You needed it. I took a lot of blood from you.”

At the recollection of what that had felt like, she sensed heat rise into her cheeks. There was nothing on earth that was even comparable to a vampire’s bite. Now she understood why Hannah had sought out a vampire as her boyfriend. It practically ensured a satisfied sex life.

“Is that a blush?” he murmured at her ear.

She lifted her chin. “What if it is?”

“Then I’ll take it as a compliment. And as an invitation to do it again.”

A knock at the door and the rattling of the doorknob made her whirl her head toward it.

“Blake?” It was Wesley’s voice coming through the door.

“What do you want?” Blake responded, rising from the bed.

“Why’s the fucking door locked? Open up, I’ve gotta talk to you. It’s important!”

“Give me a minute.” Blake tossed her an apologetic look. “Sorry, baby.” He walked to the wall next to the Murphy bed and pressed against it. A door that had looked like a panel opened up. “It’s just a tiny bathroom, but you can get dressed in here while I see what Wes wants.”

Stunned, she rose and looked into the small room. “You’re full of surprises.”

He shrugged. “Rose’s idea. She grew up in the Regency period, and they had secret panels that led into hidden rooms all the time. She figured it would be nice to have a place to freshen up when I sleep here on occasion.”

“What’s taking you so long?” Wes grunted outside the door and banged against it once more.

Blake grimaced. “I’d better talk to him before he flips.” He paused. “Oh, and come out when you’re done. I have no intention of hiding you in the closet.”

She snatched her clothes from the floor and slunk into the bathroom, pulling the door shut behind her. She only took a few minutes to clean up and get dressed. She’d never been one to spend a long time getting ready. Besides, she was curious about Wesley’s important news.

When she opened the door and stepped back into Blake’s office, he and Wesley were bending over his desk, a large, old book open before them. Wes looked up and spotted her. He didn’t appear to be surprised at seeing her. From the corner of her eye she saw that the Murphy bed was back inside the wall, and that fact made her relax.

“Hey, Lilo.”

“Hi, Wesley. Any news?”

“Lots.”

“Go on,” Blake encouraged him. “You were saying…”

“So when I reached the shack that I’d chased him to, he suddenly materialized. I knew he wasn’t a vampire, but he was preternatural. I just couldn’t tell what he was. He told me to destroy the drugs because they’d only play into the demons’ hands. You can imagine how stunned I was. But I had no time to question him. Suddenly that boulder just moved in front of him and he disappeared.”
