His eyes hardened. “I see. So you’re onlydoing this from a sense of obligation…of duty.”
“I’m doing it to save all our lives,” I saidevenly. “I just don’t want there to be any misunderstanding aboutit. I’m sorry, Corbin. I can give you my body, but not myheart.”
He sighed. “My darling, it was your heart Iwanted all along. But I guess I am never to have it.”
“No,” I whispered, my throat suddenly tight.“No, I’m afraid not.”
“Very well.” He nodded. “Then perhaps youwould prefer to keep this little…encounter impersonal.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“I mean I can take you from behind.” Hestroked my cheek and my breath suddenly seemed to come short. “Thatway you don’t have to look me in the eyes as I fill your sweetpussy.”
“Oh…” I whispered, overcome with a strangecombination of lust and regret. “Yes, I…I guess that would be allright.”
Corbin nodded. “Well then…” He went to hisdesk and picked up the phone.
“What are you doing? Who are you calling?” Iasked.
He looked up. “I’m going to get one of thehuman barmaids in here. I need to satiate my thirst for bloodbefore I take you, Addison. I want this encounter between us to beas safe as possible.”
“Wait,” I said, before he could hit thebuttons. “Wait, I…”
Corbin frowned and lowered the phone. “Haveyou changed your mind? If so then I must prepare to fight.”
“No, nothing like that. I just…” I bit mylip. “I just…I don’t like the idea of you, uh, drinking from anyonebut me. Especially not when we’re about to, uh, have sex.”
“Make love,” Corbin corrected me gently. Welooked at each other for a long moment and then he nodded. “Verywell. It’s a good idea, actually—biting you will get your bodyready to receive me.”
I remembered the whipcrack orgasm that hadgone through me when he bit my thigh and shivered.
“Why is that, exactly? How can you make itfeel so good?”
“Part of it is the fact that I am injectingyou with my essence when I bite,” Corbin murmured. He put down thephone and came around the desk to stand in front of me. “And partof it is simply the way your body reacts to mine. You want me,Addison—almost as badly as I want you.”
“Yes, all right,” I whispered, reaching upto put my arms around his neck. “I guess I can admit that. Ishouldn’t but I do—I want you, Corbin. I want this.”
“I want it too,” he murmured. “Will you bareyour neck for me, darling?”
I pushed my hair out of the way and tiltedmy chin to the side, offering him my vein. We were in a hurry and Iwas sure he would simply drive his long, sharp fangs right into mytender flesh. Instead, he kissed me.
“Oh…” I almost moaned when I felt his mouth,gentle and insistent against the sensitive skin of my throat.
“Darling,” Corbin murmured as he continuedto press hot, opened mouthed kisses up and down the column of myneck. “Your scent is so sweet, so intoxicating. Are you gettingready for me? Ready to have my cock deep in your pussy?”
As he spoke, one large hand stroked over mybreasts, making my nipples harden instantly, and traveled down tothe spot between my thighs.
“Corbin…” I moaned, shifting against him asI felt him press inward, rubbing my pussy through the material ofmy dress and panties. God, I knew I shouldn’t want this—shouldn’tbe this hot for him, especially since he hadn’t even bitten me yet.And yet, I couldn’t help it. Even knowing that what we were aboutto do was highly illegal and incredibly dangerous couldn’t stop mefrom wanting him.
“I’m going to bite you, darling,” hemurmured, still rubbing me gently with those long, strong fingers.“But first I want you to let me in. I want to feel your sweet pussygetting wet and hot for me while I drink from you.”
I knew it was dangerous. We were getting theblood and the sex part of our encounter, as Corbin called it, mixedup when we should be keeping them separate. But again I couldn’tdeny him.
“All right,” I whispered, parting my legs. Ifelt Corbin raise my dress and then his big, warm hand was in mypanties, cupping my pussy possessively.
“So hot,” he murmured, his fingers rubbingme gently in a slow, sensual massage. “Are you wet for me too,Addison?”
“Find out for yourself,” I whisperedbreathlessly. I didn’t know where I got the nerve but somehow Icouldn’t help myself.
“With pleasure,” he murmured. I felt hisfingers parting my outer lips and moaned helplessly as they sliddeep inside me. And at the same time his fangs pierced mythroat.
I cried out as the sudden orgasm flashedthrough me, making me tighten around his invading fingers as hesucked greedily from my neck. The sensations were too much—acomplete overload and yet somehow I couldn’t get enough. At thatmoment I wanted nothing more than to be his—his completely.
I don’t know how long Corbin drank or howoften I came. I only know I was shaking and weak-kneed by the timehe withdrew his fangs from my neck and his fingers from mypussy.
“Delicious,” he murmured, sucking hisfingers clean. “I wish I had time to taste your pussy, my darling,but I’m afraid it’s time for other things now.” Slowly, he turnedme to face the desk. “It’s time for me to take you.”
“Shouldn’t…shouldn’t we wait for…for…” Iknew it was strange but for the life of me, I couldn’t rememberwhat we were waiting for.
“It’s all right,” Corbin assured me. I felthim pressing me down over the desk. It had been cleared of allpaperwork and the glass and teak top felt cool against my flushedskin. And then he was raising my skirt and pulling down mypanties.
“God!” I moaned as I felt the soft breezecaress my naked pussy.
Corbin’s hands went to my hips andtightened, holding me still.
“Carefully, Addison,” he said, his deepvoice sounding slightly strained. “I need you to hold perfectlystill for me now. Don’t move—don’t rouse my instincts.”
I froze, understanding what he was saying atonce. Part of the reason a vampire is so likely to kill his or herhuman lover is that the thrashing around people do duringlovemaking rouses the predator part of
