“You tempted the monster in me, and now I can't stop it,” she murmured. “I'm not the desperate little vampire hunter you once knew.”
I spread my legs and tilted my head to the side, baring my neck to her.
“And I want it all. Take what you need from me, Vesper. And after this, we go get our princess.”
She let out a growl. It went straight to my core.
In another second, her teeth were buried in the other side of my neck, and I let out a strangled moan. The venom was a shock to my system and had my body writhing against her.
More. More.I wanted to say it out loud, but my body wasn’t cooperating.
She slipped her fingers inside me, and for the first time, I felt totally conquered. There was nothing I could do to shake her off. She was pushing me against the wall, her hand gripping my arm so I'd stay in place, the other one between my legs, fingers pumping into my wet cunt without mercy. I didn't realize how much she overpowered me now with her new height until her body was covering mine.
“Give it to me,” Vesper growled as she pulled away. “I need it.”
I couldn't stop my orgasm even if I tried. I plunged headfirst into it, my sight blackening at the edges at the intensity of it. Even though we had dipped into the alcove, there was no hiding the sounds coming from my mouth.
Whispered begging turned into loud whimpers.
She forced her teeth out of me, no easy feat given how red her eyes were. Her teeth were bared, my blood all over them and her mouth.
It was one of the hottest things I'd ever seen.
Vesper was breathing heavily, her eyes slowly starting to turn back to their normal golden hue as she took in the messshe turned me into. I was still riding the high, pleasure still coursing through my being. There was no room for me to feel any embarrassment.
At least not yet.
“We have to be careful,” she said as she moved away from me, but that wasn’t what made me panic. Her words did. “I’m not… myself anymore. I'm sorry I hurt you.”
She’s retreating.
My hand shot forward to stop her.
“I liked it. I liked it. Please…” I forced myself to take a breath. “We will work on it.” Her eyes widened, letting me know she expected me to push her away. I could see the guilt and shame written all over her face. “I’m not letting you go, Vesper. Never again.”
I pulled her closer, my hands running down her body, caressing her, but she stopped me by gripping my wrist.
“Let me show you,” I whispered.
Her eye flashed red again, but then it was gone.
“Not until our princess is back.”
My throat constricted, but I knew where she was coming from. The days I spent in Atlas’s castle, in the bed I had shared with them, were the loneliest I ever had. They were in my dreams, only for me to wake up every day disappointed to realize the bed was cold and I was alone.
Now that it was only Vesper and me, we still weren’t complete. But at least we had each other.
Vesper’s head snapped to the side, her jaw tensing. Just as I was about to ask what was happening, she moved the tapestry covering us and peeked out of the alcove.
“Do you have no decorum?” Atlas's voice came from down the hallway with a scoff.
“I think it's cute,” Charlotte said with a small giggle, her hand trying to hide her smile but obviously failing. When I glanced atthem, I saw them waiting in the middle of the hallway. Charlotte gave me a wink. “A deal is a deal. One dinner and you guys get Vesper. It sucks because I really liked having her around, but I know you're better off searching for that princess of yours.”
She said it with a pout, but as annoying as the vampire seemed, it sounded like she had a good heart.
As we walked out, the shame of it all finally heated my skin.
“Speaking of…” Charlotte's eyes flashed to Atlas and then to Vesper. “We got news.”
