In one fluid movement he stands up, gently scooping my son into his arms and carries him into the guest room.
“I always thought it was us men who don’t understand clues and hints and need a direct approach, but it looks like it applies to my girl as well,” he mutters as I trail after them, chewing on my lip. I stop at the threshold while Sava carefully lays him down, covers him with a blanket, and places a kiss on his head before walking out.
I open my mouth to say…well, I don’t know what, but I don’t get to because Severin’s strong hand clasps over mine and he pulls me after him.
“Sava? Where are you taking me?”
“To have an adult talk, also known as fuck some sense into you.” And before I know it, he plants me on top of a huge, unmade bed with slate gray, silk sheets.
Startled, I realize I’m in Severin’s bedroom, and I might’ve freaked out or blushed over the matter, but the man in front of me is not allowing me that as he wraps me in his storm, trapping all of my emotions in his gaze as he drops to his knees in front of me.
“Sever—” My voice cuts off as his fingers start to glide up my leg, slowly. Gently.
“You never have to ask my permission for anything, Aurora. Not a single thing because everything I own is already yours.” His hand slowly trails up higher, leaving a sting of gooseflesh underneath my leggings in its wake. “My house.” He squeezes my thigh. “My car.” His hand glides over my hip bone. “My body.” He stops just underneath my breasts, inching his body closer and closer until he’s a breath away.
Severin locks his eyes with mine as the pad of his thumb reaches over my plain white long sleeve and dips in-between my breasts to where the old scar is, sliding it across. “Heart.” The slightly dipped flesh stings underneath his featherlight touch as my heart picks up its rhythm. Its song both familiar and not.
My breaths grow ragged and rushed. The heat of his skin penetrating mine in the most delicious of ways and I want more. I want to feel him…all of him, like I did the other night in his car.
“My sanity,” he adds with finality, but I am the one who feels it down in her core.
“Then it will be impossible,” I utter on a rugged whisper and the pad of his other thumb gently traces over the outline of my lips while he still holds my heart behind that scar.
“What is?”
“To fuck some sense into me. It’ll be like the blind leading the blind.”
One corner of his sinful mouth lifts just the barest of touches. “I don’t mind getting lost with you.”
“Then lead the way.” The second the words are out of my mouth his lips are on mine in their usual, frenzied way as if we’ll never get enough.
Severin gets up and climbs over me, splaying me beneath him with one strong tug as his knee parts my thighs and presses higher into my already drenched pussy, drawing a soft moan out of my mouth.
“Sava,” I moan into his mouth, my hands finding the back of his neck as my fingers lace over the longer strands of his hair at the back of his nape, and if my body wasn’t so attuned to his I’d miss the wince he tried to hide. But I don’t.
“Oh God!” Panting, I yelp, pushing him as I jump out of his hold and onto solid ground. “Severin! You were just injured. You have a bloody concussion and here I am mauling you!” I screech, still unable to catch my breath because he steals it every damn time. “You need to lie down. I’ll go get—argh!” I yelp once more as a strong arm tugs me down onto the bed.
“You’re not going anywhere,” Severin growls, pinning me to the bed once more.
“You have a concussion,” I repeat.
“I’m well aware, and if you get up from this bed one more time, I will chase you, andthatwill definitely not help my state. But I’ll do it, Aurora. I’ll fucking do it.”
I gulp. “Blackmailing me with your own health, Vampire? Really? That’s playing dirty.”
“Well, would you look at that. It’s my favorite kind of game. So, yes, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you in my bed tonight. And for the rest of eternity,” he adds and crushes his lips against mine.
This time also draping his heavy, athlete body over me so I have no chance for an escape, and the longer he kisses me the less I remember why I was opposed to the idea in the first place.
“I need to imprint the maddening love coursing through my veins inside your body, Aurora. I need you marked with me so many times you forget where you begin and I end, because we’re one. From the start. Until the end.”
His hands slip underneath my long sleeve and slowly trail over my body until he reaches my breasts and grabs a soft handful, making me gasp. A gasp he steals with another kiss, leading it down my neck. His wet lips scorching my sensitive skin as he kisses and nibbles on the flesh then sucks it in, leaving his mark like the blood-thirsty demon he is.
And with each passing second the throbbing in my sex grows almost unbearable. I twist and turn underneath him but it’s to no avail when he’s pinning me with his might, softly rocking his hard erection into my core and I know he’s won. I know I won’t be able to stop. I know I want him with every fiber of my being.
I plant my palms on his chest and push.
“Aurora,” he hisses.
