Page 81 of Cooper’s Passion

Cooper moaned into her mouth, and then she felt them: his fangs were extending to their full length. He severed the kiss and looked into her eyes. Their golden hue was more beautiful than anything she’d ever seen.

“I love you,” she murmured.

A breath rushed over Cooper’s lips. “I love you more.”

He tilted his head and brought his face to the crook of her neck. The next thing she felt was his hot tongue licking her, making her skin tingle pleasantly. Then the sharp tips of his fangs pierced her skin and drove deep into her. There was no pain, only the feeling of anticipation. When he began to suck, her entire body began to vibrate from the waves of pleasure that shot through her. Without warning, she climaxed so hard she feared she would pass out from the intense pleasure. But she remained conscious, while her climax ebbed and flowed, only to start all over again a moment later. Inside her, she felt Cooper’s hot semen fill her tight sheath, while he continued to thrust deep and hard.

Anita’s bloodfilled his mouth and ran down his throat, fulfilling not just his need to feed, but also his need to connect on a deeper level with the woman he loved, the woman he’d give his life to protect. She tasted like the richest dessert on any menu. Her blood was smooth and seductive, tempting and rewarding. She was everything he’d ever dreamed of in a woman. Her wish to feel his bite had been unexpected, and come much earlier than he’d hoped. He’d been unable to resist the temptation to take her, even though he knew he didn’t have time for a long night of lovemaking. But he needed this bite. He needed to taste her sweet blood now that she’d offered it to him.

When he felt Anita’s interior muscles clamp around his erection while she climaxed, he couldn’t stop his own climax. But despite the satisfaction that spread within him, he couldn’t stop making love to her. He remained hard, and continued to plunge into her silken sheath. And even though he wasn’t gentle tonight, Anita welcomed him nevertheless, her pussy gripping him on each withdrawal as if she didn’t want him to leave. Just like he didn’t want to end this, even though he knew he had to.

“Yes, yes, oh yes.”

Her words spurred him on, and the more blood he took from her, the more his need for her increased. Cooper palmed her responsive breasts, caressing her hard nipples, teasing more moans and sighs from her. He loved the way she rode him, the way she let herself go in his arms, the way she was willing to give him everything he craved. And he craved her, now and always. They would be perfect for each other. He could already see the life they’d have together, the family they would have, the love that would grow deeper with each day.

A foreign sound drifted to his ears, and his vampire instinct took over. With a jolt, Cooper withdrew his fangs from Anita’s neck and snapped his gaze to the origin of the sound. It took him almost a second to see who was standing in the open door, the image tinted red because of his glaring eyes.

Sheriff Diaz stared at him, his eyes wide, his jaw dropping. “You monster! Get away from my daughter!” He put his hand to his hip as if wanting to grip his gun, but luckily, he wasn’t armed. “Anita!”

Cooper snatched a pillow and used it to cover Anita’s nakedness as best he could, while Anita finally looked over her shoulder.

“Dad!”

Diaz made a few steps into the room. “Damn it! He’s hurting you! Let go of her!”

“José, please, it’s not what it looks like.” He held Anita pressed to him and stretched one arm out in an attempt to stop Diaz from coming any closer.

“I’m gonna kill you!” Murder in his eyes, Diaz approached.

“No, Dad! Don’t! I love him.”

“No! He’s a monster! Don’t you see that?” He glared at Cooper. “What have you done to her?”

He motioned to the blood that was still seeping from Anita’s neck, because Cooper hadn’t had a chance to lick over the incisions to close them.

“I’m fine, Dad, please, we’ll explain everything to you.”

“José, not a step closer. I know you’re Anita’s father, but that doesn’t give you the right to violate her privacy! She’s naked, so at least give her the courtesy of allowing her to get dressed. Please leave the room.”

“So you can suck her dry?” Diaz yelled, shaking his head, his face a mask of disbelief and distress. “Damn it, Anita, have you no sense of self-preservation? Don’t you see what he’s doing to you?”

“He loves me!” Anita yelled.

“He’s hurting you!”

“I would never hurt Anita! She’s going to be my wife, my mate for eternity.”

Anita whirled her head back to him. “Your wife? Are you saying…” Tears suddenly brimmed in her eyes.

“Of course, I want you as my wife. Anita, Baby, I want a life with you, a family, children…”

“You can’t be serious!” Diaz spat. “You’re a monster! You’re just using her.”

“What’s going on here?”

Cooper looked past Diaz and saw Wesley enter the room. He was dressed in only a bathrobe, his skin covered in a golden sheen. Great! There was another thing he had to add to his list to explain to Sheriff Diaz: the mating habits of Stealth Guardians.
