Second Chance (Enduring Kiss) (14 page)

I looked up into his heavy lidded eyes as I leaned in and ran my tongue over the tip. He tasted so good, salty and musky. I was about to wrap my lips around him when with a growl he reached for me, pulling me up and wrapping his arms around me.

"I wasn't done yet." I purred, knowing I was teasing him over the edge.

"I can't take much more." He ad
mitted. "And now it's my turn."

He
was not as slow with my undressing. He divested me of my shirt, and jeans quickly then stood back to look at me. His gazed ran over me, heating my body like a caress.

He looked from my face down my neck and shoulders then paused at my black lace covered breast. He licked his lips making me rub my thighs together. I knew I
was wet and ready. I was beginning to get tired of this game. If I did not have him soon I would combust.

He continued his appraisal following the line of my torso down my firm stomach and stopping once again on the small triangle of black lace. I saw his nostrils flare and I knew his control was snapping. I relished with the power of knowing I did this to him.

"I can't wait any longer Rebecca. I can't go slowly with you any longer," he growled.

I shook my head and realized I still had my hair pulled up. I reached up
and took out the rubber band letting my hair flow around my shoulders. I shook it out and sighed at the feeling of it being out of its confines.

"Rebecca." Drake groaned.

"Don't go slow Drake. Do want you want. I don't need slow. I just need you." I told him.

No sooner were the words out of my mouth was Drake in front of me. He ripped my panties off and threw them somewhere. I gasped as he did the same with my bra. He palmed both breast in his hands then leaned in to capture one nipple in his mouth. My head fell back in utter bliss as he sucked and nipped at the tight bud. My hands grasped his head holding
him tightly against me.

Drake suddenly pulled away making me whimper. He scooped me up and placed me in the center of the bed. Pillows fell around me and I laughed as Drake growled and through them
every which way.

When all the pillows were gone and I lay flat
, he brought his body over mine and captured my lips with his. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him close. Though his moves so far were hurried, his kiss was anything but. His tongue caressed my bottom lip coxing me to open for him. I did, letting his tongue glide across mine. I moaned into his mouth as I tightened my fists into his hair.

As he continued to kiss me
, dancing his tongue with mine, he smoothed his hands over my body palming my breasts again. As one thumb flicked my nipple, making me arch his other hand glided down my rib cage and stomach. My heart was racing and my breathing labored as I writhed, wanting him to continue down.

I spread my legs for him
, begging for his touch. He did not leave me waiting. He fingers parted my folds testing my wetness. I was so ready for him I cried out into his mouth as his thumb brushed my clit. I exploded into my orgasm writhing on the bed.

He swallowed my cries with his kiss until my body slowly came down to earth. He continued to stroke me softly making me move restlessly.

Drake pulled his lips from mine and I opened my eyes to see him smiling down at me. He looked almost as satisfied as I was. I smiled back as I tried to catch my breath.

"Are you ready
?" He asked, his smile dimming.

I knew what he was asking and I was ready. I
was not looking forward to the bite, but I was ready to tie myself to him forever. I nodded and smiled a genuine smile. He visibly relaxed and smiled back showing his fangs to me for the first time on purpose.

I reached up and traced his lips with my finger then stroked one fang to the tip. Curiosity got the better of me and I pressed hard on the point with the tip of finger. Blood immediately dripped down to my knuckle. I watched in awe as his mouth engulfed my finger suckin
g hungrily on my blood. I groaned along with him. I never knew it could be that erotic to watch him feed. His eyes glazed in pleasure; a moan escaped his mouth.

He slowly pull back releasing my finger. I looked for the small woun
d and was stunned to find it had healed.

"My sali
va heals the wound after I feed," he said when he noticed my shock.

Logan had never healed me after he fed. If I was having any doubts about him biting me they were gone after that. I trusted him completely.

To show my trust I tilted my head offering my neck to him. His chest rumbled in approval as he leaned in and breathed against my shoulder. I gasped as his tongue ran over the pulse pounding in my in my throat.

"I love you," h
e whispered just before sinking his teeth into that pulse. I felt no pain only pleasure as warmth pooled in my center.

I writhed as he drank me in and I could feel is arousal pressing against my hip. While he drank
, I shifted my legs so I could wrap them around his waist. As soon as I was in place, he was prodding my sensitive folds. I shift again reaching down to grasp him trying not to move my head. When I took him in my hand, he growled and drank deeply.

I moaned as I moved him over my bundle of nerves then placed him at my opening. Removing my hand
, I grasped his butt and pulled him in. Even though I knew he was drowning in lust he pushed gently into me. He paused when he reach my barrier then thrust sinking deeply into me.

It
was not as painful as I thought it would be and the small twinge I did feel floated away as pleasure took over. I cried out scraping my fingernails down his strong back as he moved inside me. Never had I felt anything as good as the feel of us together.

He pulled away from my neck
and licked the wounds healing them. He never stopped thrusting as he looked at me. Blood lined his lips and I found myself wanting to taste myself. Leaning up I captured his lips, licking my blood, tasting the sweet metallic flavor.

When I pulled back
, I knew my eyes had glazed with lust.

"You must drink from me know."

He leaned down so my mouth hovered over his neck. I did not think. Nature took over and I bit down hard. My teeth were sharper than a human’s were, but I still did not have fangs in my human form. I bit hard and almost cried out as his life force flowed over my tongue. I drank greedily, relishing his robust flavor. It was like the finest wine.

As I drank deeper
as he moved faster. Our sighs and moans filled the room.

An orgasm took me off guard shooting through me with such intensity I pulled my mouth back on a cry. I felt him stiffen and cry out his own release.

As we lay limply in each other's arms, I began to feel different. I felt restless, somewhat itchy and I could not contain my moan.

He lifted his head from the curve of my neck and looked at me with concern. I pushed at him until he moved to my side pulling me with him. I arched as electricity shot through my veins. My heart was pounding and I felt afraid. I knew this had to do with the Enduring Kiss
, but I had not known it would be like this. It was really painful and uncomfortable and each new sensation startled me. My muscles ached down to the bone.

As the pain in my body
began to recede, my mouth began to ache and I reached up to feel fangs had formed. Just as I started to panic, they receded again.

At last
, the hum left my body and I lay there breathing rapidly, my heart racing. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.

Drake brushed a wet strand of hair from my forehead. I was bathed in sweat
, but I felt a bit cold. I must have shivered because Drake reached up and pulled down the covers. He held me up to get them from under me then pulled the blankets over us both. He held me close and kissed my head.

"Rest now
Rebecca. The Kiss is complete."

I closed my
eyes and let sleep overcome me.

~*~

I felt better than ever. I felt energize and focused and not to mention deliciously sated. I stretched as I rolled over to find Drake watching me, a grin playing on his lips.

"How do you feel?"

"Wonderful," I replied with a smile.

We stayed that way a moment, neither of us touching the other. We just looked at
each other. Love radiated off Drake in waves and I basked in adoration. I was so glad I had to decide to put my fears aside and trust Drake. His bite was nothing like what I had experienced in the past. Instead of torture and agony, his bite was pleasurable and addicting.

I thought about how we made love for the f
irst time and how perfect it had been. He made me feel cherished and I would never forget it. I wanted him again and again. In fact, us not touching was unacceptable, I thought. I brushed a finger down his cheek caressing the stubble on his jaw.

"I have a question." I said remember
ing something Jessica had told me.

"Go ahead." Drake replied.

"Is sex necessary to complete the Enduring Kiss?"

Drake neck flushed red surprising me with his shyn
ess. I smiled at him knowingly.

"No, only a blood exchange and the intent are necessary. Both parties have to have a desire for the other and enough blood has to be exchanged for it to work."

I nodded, but furrowed my brows in thought.

"Why? Are you sorry we made love?" Drake asked concerned.

"No. I am more than happy we made love." I reassured him. "I was just thinking about my friend Jessica. She was unconscious when Lucas performed the Enduring Kiss. I was just wondering how that worked. She couldn't have given her consent."

"There had to be a desire in her to be one with him for it to have worked. That's the only way to explain it."

"Yeah, that's probably it. She didn't seem to mind one bit that he had done the Kiss. It was to save her life, but I think it just rushed things a little. They would have done it sooner or later."

I knew Jessica was happy. The woman glowed
, as any well-loved woman would, anytime you saw her. Her beautiful baby boy was proof.

"Oh no!" I exclaimed when a sudden thought struck me.

Drake pulled me tighter in his arms. "What is it?" He sounded as frantic as I did.

"Can I still change into my wolf?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly.

"I don't know," he replied slowly while he thought. "Have you tried to find her?"

I shook my head no and closed my eyes seeking my wolf. I almost panicked when I couldn't find her
, but after pushing a little harder I saw her. She was quite content. I could feel her approval, but as always, she wanted to run. After assuring her it would be soon, I came back to myself. Drake was looking at me expectantly.

I nodded. "She's there."

He smiled brightly. "That's good."

"What about you? You said you couldn't change into your wolf anymore."

"No, I can't," he replied sadly.

"Is he still with you at all?" My voice was soft with emotions. How awful
it must be to not be able to run any more?

Drake took a deep breath before answerin
g. "Yes, he's still there. That is the hardest part. I feel his desire to break free, but there's nothing I can do. I cannot change. I've tried countless times."

I placed my hand on his arm
, rubbing small circles offering comfort. I continued to stroke his arm and chest until the sorrow that clouded his gaze began to clear. He smiled gently at me.

"You should try to
change just in case."

I nodded and got up
, not bothering to cover my nakedness. I grinned to myself when Drake's eyes widened in appreciation.

I thought of my wolf again
, telling her it was time to shift. I blinked and suddenly I was on all fours. I scanned the room with my almost perfect vision. It felt strange to shift so quickly. I closed my eyes again and with little thought, I was human again. I looked at Drake. His mouth was open in shock.

"Wow, you chang
ed so fast. It was only seconds," he said in awe.

I shook my head confused.

"It felt weird, but was also the easiest change I've ever had. It usually takes at least a couple of minutes, not seconds. Do you think the Kiss did this?"

Drake shrugged. "I don't know
, but that seems to be the only explanation."

I nodded. My wolf pushed restlessly. She
was not content to have had only that quick shift. I climbed back into bed snuggling under the covers with Drake. He wrapped his arms around me.

"I'll have t
o run soon," I said into his chest. I felt guilty and sad that he could not run with me. "What time is it?"

Drake looked over his shoulder to look at the clock. He stiffe
ned and sucked in a breath.

"What is it?" I asked laying a hand on his arm.
