“How to hunt demons?”
“Yes.”
“And humans?”
Damon nodded. “Vegetarians mostly.”
“Whaaat?”
“They’re healthier. You get more vitamins that way.” He reached out to close her mouth, which had dropped open. Brushing his thumb over her lips, he said, “I’m just teasing you, little witch.”
He was teasing her all right. Her lips were humming and hungry for the touch of his mouth on hers. Passion rose within her like the flames had risen from the floor vents.
“I need a cold shower,” she muttered.
Damon instantly released her. “Go ahead. The surveillance cameras are off in the bathrooms now.”
Zoe fled upstairs, but there was no escaping her desire for Damon. No amount of cold water could cool the heat and no amount of lathering with Sunshine soap could remove the memory of his touch. She tried, she really did. But when she stepped out of the bathroom wearing only a towel around her body and saw Damon waiting for her she wanted him as much as she had before. Maybe more.
“I had the camera turned off in here,” Damon said. “You don’t have to fear me. You don’t have to run from me the way you just did.”
“You thought I ran because I was afraid?”
“Weren’t you?” he said.
“I ran because you touched me.”
“And that turned you off after hearing how I became a vampire.”
“It turned me on. Not the vampire stuff. Your touch. You, Damon.” Her trembling fingers caused the towel to accidentally slip.
Damon was there in half a heartbeat. His fingers rested just above her breast. Gazing down into her eyes, he moved her hand away from the towel.
“I want you.” His voice was hoarse.
“I want you, too,” she whispered.
He removed her towel and with it any chance she could hold back the wave of desire coursing through her naked body.
Moving with vamp speed, he yanked off his black shirt and pants and underwear. Now he was as nude as she was and she couldn’t get over how good he looked without clothes. Yes, she’d seen him shirtless, but wow. The vampire was built. And he was aroused.
So was she. Dampness pooled between her thighs and it wasn’t because of the shower. It was because of Damon.
Still, she felt she had to warn him. “There’s a curse that says no man can make an Adams witch happy.”
“I’m not a man,” Damon said. “I’m a vampire, and I can make you very happy.”
He moved in and took possession of her mouth, parting her lips and dueling with her tongue. Then he licked the roof of her mouth with such delicate strokes she thought she’d go crazy. His kiss scorched her in a carnal way.
Lowering his hand, he slipped his fingers down past her abdomen to slide them through the curls at the gateway of her vagina. Now his
When her knees gave way, he scooped her in his arms and carried her to her bed. Did she want him to take her with vamp speed? Did she want it all to be over in a split second?
He dragged his teeth over her bare breast. No fangs. Did vampire sex involve fangs? Maybe she should have asked a few questions ahead of time. But could she when her entire focus was on the intense pleasure and anticipation he was creating? No way. Let him ask the questions.
“Do you like that?” he said.
“Yes,” she moaned.
He remembered the way he’d touched her before, the night she’d had the nightmare, and repeated the caress.
“How about this?” Now he added the new element of laving his rough tongue over her nipple.
“Definitely.” She threaded her fingers through his hair and held him in place. While his mouth focused on her breast, his talented fingers moved lower, sliding over her pelvis and homing in on her clitoris. Once there, he took his time, brushing his thumb over the tiny bud that was such an intense erogenous zone.
Zoe arched her back as shards of raw hunger pulsed through her body. Kissing his way down her body, his tongue replaced his fingers as he stroked her there with warm laps and wicked lunges. She came hard and fast. Not once but twice … three times.
Lifting his head, he smiled that sexy smile of his. Lifting his body, he positioned himself between her legs. Zoe couldn’t fathom how she could possibly climax again and she tried to warn him not to be disappointed …
He drove into her with one powerful slide. She closed around him as his thrusts created a friction that was both blissful and insanely wild.
Her vagina clenched as her orgasm took over, increasing to a mind-blowing ecstasy. He stiffened in her arms and within her body as he reached his climax. It was magical, it was raw and reckless.
“It was over too fast.” Zoe didn’t realize she’d actually whispered the unsteady words aloud until Damon smoothed her bangs from her eyes.
“That was just the beginning,” he said.
“Really? I mean, I wasn’t complaining. It was incredible. Just the beginning, huh?”
“Oh yeah. There’s lots more. Let me show you.” And he did.
Damon sat straight up in bed. Something was wrong. He was alone in Zoe’s rumpled bed.
It was barely daylight. Too early for night to have completely given up its darkness. Where was she? And why had he fallen asleep? That never happened to him. Vampires didn’t need much sleep. Did it have something to do with her being a witch?
Damon grabbed his pants from the floor and moved at vamp speed. There was no sign of Zoe on this second story of the house. The scents coming from her workroom didn’t allow him to focus on finding her that way, but a quick search confirmed she wasn’t in any of the upstairs rooms.
He looked down from the top of the stairway and saw Zoe’s grandmother standing there, tears streaming down her face. “Zoe is gone. She’s been taken!”
“That’s not possible,” Damon said. “You had a protection spell around her.”
“Yes, but she’s immune to magic now,” Gram said.
“She had sex with you,” Bella told Damon. “That made her lose her powers. You kept yours but she lost hers.”
“Do you still have your powers?” Damon asked Zoe’s grandmother.
“Yes, but I can’t save her. She’s immune.
“Where is she?”
“The demons have her in the tunnel,” Zoe’s grandmother said.
“How do you know that? The surveillance cameras were off. Did the cameras down here show who took her?” Damon said.
“Uh, that would be a negative,” Neville said through the surveillance system. “And I now see three demons and one witch on the scan of the affected area of the tunnels.”
“You’re going to need help, Demon Hunter,” Bella said. “You can’t do it alone.”
