He smiled and ran his fingers along my jaw. “I can entrance you?”
I smacked his hand away. “Not enough to fall into your lap.”
His smile fell. “Sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. Old habits are hard to break. While I am still attractive and can capture the attention of others, I can’t persuade them to do what I want and I can’t derive power from sex. The one who turned me did it as a punishment for seducing his wife, but after his death, I was given to Wesling. She doesn’t fully believe that I’ve lost my abilities, so she punishes me if I enjoy any sexual act or sensual touch.”
I knew Wesling was cruel, but seeing the result of her cruelty was too much to take. “If you’re serious about pledging your loyalty to me, I accept it freely without asking for anything in return.”
His eyes lit up and his lips parted. Without a word, he sank to his knees and offered me his wrist. “I swear my life and loyalty to you, Ceyla Sabourin.”
Licking his flesh, I drove my fangs deep enough to hit the bone and make my mark. Though I had witnessed many pledging ceremonies, I had never accepted the loyalty of anyone. I knew I would feel something when I drank Kayden’s blood, but I wasn’t expecting the rush of power that surged through me.
Kayden shivered when I released his wrist. He gently took my offered wrist and placed his lips against my pulsing vein. Licking across my skin, he sent chills through me. He nicked my vein with his fang and slowly drank my blood. Feeling his mouth and tongue on my skin sent waves of heat through my thighs. I had never wanted anyone more than I wanted Kayden.
“You are now part of the Sabourin Coven.” My voice was raspy as I stared down at his beautiful face. “I swear that we will make Wesling pay for what she has done to you.”
He opened his eyes and smiled. I saw a twinkle of power that hadn’t been there before. I wanted to claim him just as I had Landon, but I didn’t want him to fear that I was using him for his body.
Turning his head, he exposed his neck to me. “Claim me as your own so I never have to return to her and I swear to love you forever.” Pausing, he glanced at me from the corner of his eye. “Even if you don’t claim me, I will always love you.”
I frowned and looked away. “I have already claimed Landon. Besides, you shouldn’t want to be sexually beholden to yet another person.”
His eyes trailed down my body and his wicked smirk made my nipples tighten. “If I never left your bed, I would be more than fulfilled for the rest of my life.”
Desire swept through me, making it difficult to say no to him, though I held firm. “I thought my tits were too small.”
Chuckling, he ripped open my new shirt and used his claws to shred my bra. His mouth claimed my right breast, while his fingers grazed my other nipple. “No one believes you have small tits, my love, not even Silas. As for Landon, I will need to sleep at some point, so he can take over once I’m exhausted from pleasing you.”
Unable to contain my desire, I grabbed his chin and forced him to look at me. “All kidding aside, Kayden, I want you more than I can express, but I need to know that you’re serious.”
Staring into my eyes, he slowly licked his lips. “Please, Ceyla, make me whole again.”
Hearing his plea made my teeth ache and my heart soar. I drove my fangs into his neck and once more tasted his sweet blood.
Kayden groaned and whimpered as his body trembled beneath my mouth. Licking up the side of his throat, I whispered, “Lay down on your back.”
Complying with my command, there was a small spark of fear in his eyes as he went to the ground. I smiled to put him at ease as I removed my newly torn clothing. “You said that you were punished for feeling pleasure. I swear that I will never hurt you, unless you want me to.” I went to my knees and freed him from his trousers. Swirling my tongue around the tip of his cock, I watched his expression to see if he was allowing himself to enjoy my mouth on him. “Tell me how that feels.”
His mouth fell open and he had trouble controlling his breathing. “Glorious.”
I repeated the motion, but this time, I caressed his balls. “How does that feel?”
He gulped and had trouble forming words. “Miraculous. No one has touched me like that in years.”
Crawling up his body, I slowly took his hard length into my body. I watched his eyes flutter and his mouth go slack as he groaned. “If you pass out on me, I can’t unleash the desire buried deep inside you.”
“I’m simply memorizing the way your slick body feels on mine.” He chuckled. “Every time you smile at me, it melts away the pain a little more.” He quickly sat up and gripped my hips tightly. “Let me show you the passion you have awakened in me.”
His hips surged forward, driving his cock deep inside me. His lips trailed over my collarbone, my neck and my ear before capturing my mouth and kissing me deeply.
I accidentally dug my claws into his upper back to ground myself as my body quickly ignited into a storm of sensations that overwhelmed all my thoughts.
He tensed up and moaned loudly.
