Sliding inside of her, he paused at her entrance.She was tight and hot, and he had to catch his breath several times or pass out himself.He was able to fuck her pretty pussy while she played with her nipples, giving him all so much more of herself than anyone ever had before.Moving up and inside of her until he was buried tightly, he fucked her with slow, even strokes as he made love to her mouth.Everything about this woman was driving him over the edge, and he couldn’t wait to fall over the cliff with her.
Sliding his mouth from her mouth to her throat, she bent once again so that she was surrendering her throat to him.licking a long path from her ear to her throat, he found the pounding pulse there and licked it once again.Sucking hard on the area, he was rewarded with another climax from her, and when she drew in her breath to scream, he bit down on her throat and came on his own.
He felt his body turn inside out and back again.Even as he drank from her, he remembered that she was going to feed from him.Sitting up slightly, his body nearly taken by his monster, he used his considerable nail to cut a line over his heart.As soon as her mouth found the wound, he cried out again, this time losing his own conciseness as she suckled from his heart.
When he woke, she was still in the bed with him but no longer beneath him.Sitting up slowly, he could feel his body reacting to the lovemaking.He pulled Kimber into his arms and held her.She was still out, but he didn’t mind.Again, he could hear her heart and breathing as well as his own.When she turned over and looked at him, he saw something on her face that he’d never thought to see.A smile for him.
“Are you all right?”He said he’d never been better.“I feel a little tingly.Like I’m standing too close to an electrical socket that is going to shock me.”
“It’s the magic that I shared with you.”She nodded and closed her eyes.“Does it hurt that much?I’m sorry if I harmed you in any way, but that was by and far the best sex anyone in the world has ever had.”
“And how would you know that?”She didn’t move but continued to close her eyes.“I know where your brother is.I hate to bring him up, but just now I knew just what he’s doing and how he’s faring.He’s not having any luck getting anyone to come toward him the way he smells.”
“I’d forgotten about that.Where is he right now?”She told him that he was looking for a cave that he could rest in.“Yes, he’s only a thousand years younger than I am, but he still needs to rest during the hottest part of the day.I didn’t have to do that since I was about a thousand years old.I do when I’ve had a particularly stressful day, but I doubt that he’s had anything stressful to do in decades.”
“He’s pissed at you.He feels that you’re hiding me from him so that he can’t take you to task.He seems to think that you’ve found someone to love you, and it’s not me.He’s looking for someone to blame for you keeping away from him.”He said that he could blame whoever he wanted so long as he left her alone.“I believe he is still going to try to find me.I’m the one that got away, his words, and he has to make sure that you pay for me.I don’t know what that means in his head, but there it is.”
“You’re reading his mind?”She told him she thought that’s what she was doing, but it was that, or he was talking to her.“You’re reading his mind.Try to read mine.Let me see how gentle you can be now that we’ve exchanged blood.”
She entered his head, and that was all he felt.She told him some of his thoughts, but nothing more personal.When she moved out, he didn’t feel a thing but her telling him that she’d left.Kimber was as good at reading minds as he was, and he’d had a lot more practice.
They didn’t talk more about David, but she did tell him how she was feeling.The tingling was still there, and it was getting stronger, she told him, but he didn’t feel anything bad happening to her.Even as they talked about the magic that he could almost taste on her, she never opened her eyes.He asked her if she was all right.
“I am.I’m dealing what you might say.It’s a lot of magic or something coming to me, and I don’t want to miss any of it.”She finally turned to him and smiled.“You’re very powerful, aren’t you?I didn’t know what that meant before, but now I get it.You’re as powerful as Brew and maybe a bit more.I think a little of it has to do with me, but you were powerful before.Did you know that you could have been the king of your kind but for you not marrying Calla?She’s very powerful, too.”
“I know that they’re both powerful, but I didn’t think I was as powerful as Brew.Where are you getting that information from?”She told him that she could feel it all around her.“Maybe I’m just too close or something.That could be all it is.”
“No, you’re more powerful than Brew.But like I said, with Calla in his life, he became more so.Still not as powerful as you, but close.And something else you should know, you can kill your brother.He’s not related to you by blood.”He said that it didn’t matter that they had the same parents.“No, trust me on this.You can kill him now for what he’s doing to the world.He’s making vampires have a bad name.But you can do it because there is no direct bloodline between the two of you.”
“You’re sure about this.”She nodded and told him that she’d gotten the information from the books that Calla had given her.“Then why didn’t she say anything?”
“She believes that you shared a mother.She wasn’t told that you shared no one in your family that raised you.”She nodded.“Yes, I’m sure of it now.Calla believed all this time that you shared blood with him, and that’s why she never mentioned it before.When he comes for me, and he will, you don’t have to wait until he harms me to take him on.Neither do I.If he comes to me with harm intended to me, I’ll remove his head just as well as you would.”
“I don’t want you to take him on, Kimber.He’ll kill you.”She just smiled at him as she rose from the bed.“Did you hear me?I don’t want it to come to the two of you in that he gets that close to you.I will remove his head if necessary, and by the way you’re talking about it, it sounds like it will, but please tell me that you won’t engage with him at all.I can’t have anything happen to you.”
“He can come after you with ill intent, too, you know.”She left him there with the sheets covered in blood and went to the bathroom.He didn’t know what to think about her last comment.Yes, he could come after him, but since he was stronger than David, then it wouldn’t be a contest between them.The more he thought about David, the more afraid he got for Kimber.What if she was right and she had to defend him?He didn’t want to think about that right now and got up to join her in the shower.
David didn’t come up again, for which he was grateful.She did tell him once they were out of the stall that she could bring things to her that were big, but he didn’t know what would be bigger than her that she’d need.As soon as they were both dried off and dressed, they went to the kitchen to get her something to eat and drink.
“You’re going to have to drink more fluids when I feed from you like that.”She told him juice would be best, and he agreed with her.Something was different about Kimber, and he wasn’t sure what it was, but she seemed calmer than before.Like she had an assignment to do and understood how it was to be done.He came back to the fact that David could hurt him, too, and wondered about that.Surely he’d not be able to get the better of him?“Did you know that red meat will help you, along with what I take from you as well?”
“Yes.I’m getting all my information from the books.It’s like I’ve downloaded them into my head and I know each and every rule and how it can be broken.”She took a bite of a roast beef sandwich before continuing.“You should be Brew’s second.That way you can keep him safe as I will Calla.We’re both strong enough to do it now.”
Yes, he thought there was something different about Kimber.She seemed more confident than before.Calmer, too, he thought.While he didn’t know what was going on, he liked this new version of her.He also liked knowing that she was going to be there for him should he need it.And while he didn’t know what was going to happen, he was glad that she was in his corner.
Chapter 7
Kimmy kept thinking about what she’d seen.She didn’t know if she could see the future or if it was something that she hoped she’d see.The only part that bothered her was that Rance had been hurt, but his brother was dead.
His head had been removed from his shoulders by a sword that she’d seen in her home with Rance.He’d told her that he’d used it in several wars over the centuries and that it had saved his life on more than one occasion.It wasn’t adorned with anything, other than his name in vampire.It was covered in nicks from hitting something hard and unforgiving like bone or heavy armor.
“How are you doing?”She turned and smiled at Rance, telling him that she was just fine and dandy.“I’ve not heard that saying in some time.You looked so furlong when I came upon you.You’re not still worried about us, are you?I’m telling you that we’re just fine and dandy as you put it.”
“David.Mostly anyway.I keep thinking that he’s going to hurt you.And when he does, I’m going to be left all alone.”He said that she has to promise to go to Brew.He’ll know what to do.“But he won’t be you.Don’t you see that?He’ll be able to take care of my needs, but nothing more.I can’t stand the thought of being without you around me all the time.”
He came to her and pulled her into his arms.“I’m stronger than him, you’ve told me this too.I’m going to get him killed, and that will be the end of him.”She let him hold her, and she did feel better.“I promise I’m not going to do anything stupid.I’m only going to take him on as a last resort.Brew is going to take care of him for us.”
“Yes, so he said.”He stepped back and lifted her chin up, asking her if she believed him.“I do with everything that I am.I want him gone from our lives before he kills anyone else.And he will.No matter what you think about him, he’s going to kill other people while he comes to Brew.And why is Brew letting him take so long to come to him?Doesn’t he know what sort of person he’s dealing with?”
