I pulled away from him, shocked by his absurd request. "What?"
"You heard what I said. Bite me."
"Noah, do you know or even understand what you're asking me to do. You'll die a painful death before you'd become a creature like me. You'd never be able to go out in daylight, never feel the heat of the sun on your face. You'll never be able to hear the beautiful laughter of your own child. Your friends and family Noah, they'd miss you. How will you explain to them the reason why you're not aging or why you can't go out in daylight?"
He sighed. "Caressa, I have no family. I was an only child and given up for adoption when I was born. I lived in an orphanage all my life. I was a ward of the state until I turned seventeen. Since then I have been breaking my back to survive. Working menial jobs for barely any pay at all. This last job was one of the best I've ever had and that's not saying much. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you. I'm the one who can't offer you anything. I don't even have many friends. Only one or two really close ones. So, you see I wouldn't be leaving anything behind. But, I would be gaining a partner for life. A life in a world where I couldn't live without her."
"Noah, there's another reason why I can't turn you." I hesitated for a second. "It's a completely selfish reason."
"Well, what is it?"
"If you were a vampire you'd have an insatiable need for sex. You would never be satisfied with one woman. I can't compete with that. I won't compete with that. I will not share you with anyone."
He placed his warm calloused palm on my tear soaked cheek. "Caressa, there is no one else for me. In this lifetime or any other. Make me yours. Make me yours and only yours forever. We belong together. Don't tell me you don't feel it too."
How was I going to deny the attraction between us? The undeniable chemistry we shared. I knew he was the one for me from the moment I smelled his sweet scent in the alley of the club. "Of course I feel it Noah. That's what scares me. I have never felt this way for anyone in my life, human or vampire. But, I can't afford to be careless with such a precious gift as human life."
Noah pulled me close to him. He pressed his hard body against mine and his even harder erection caressed my soft belly. Having heightened senses was not an advantage I wished I possessed at the moment. I felt the heat of his skin as it radiated off him even through the clothes we still wore.
Leaning into me he claimed my mouth with his own. His muscled arms wrapped around my waist, squeezing me harder with each stroke of his glorious tongue. My body became the consistency of gelatin. Soft, pliable, and molded to every hill and valley of his sculpted abdomen.
I clutched the sleeves of his shirt in my hands, crushing my breasts against his chest. He gave me no reprieve from his assault on my mouth. I didn't want him to stop, but I knew he wouldn't. This had to stop. It was wrong. I was wrong for letting it go on as long as it already had. I attempted to pull away from him, but he held me in place. Of course I could have overpowered him. There was no doubt in my mind that I could. Only there was still that part of me that wanted him to hold onto to me forever. To be the one to calm the storm in my head that was destroying the last bit of sanity I possessed. I needed him. I wanted him with every fiber of my being. I had to possess him. He was asking me to make him mine. It's not like I was forcing him into something he didn't ask for, unlike my own situation. I'd had no choice and I'd hated Marcus for taking advantage of me when I was at my weakest.
But that's what scared me the most. Noah would live forever and forever gives you a long time to think about things. What if he changed his mind about me when he was turned? What if he ended up hating me? What if looking at me for the rest of his life made him sick to his stomach? There was no way I would ever be able to handle that.
My stomach lurched at the thought of losing him. On the other hand, I would be losing him anyway if I didn't turn him. It was a catch twenty-two and I lost either way.
In a heartbeat I had made my decision, not worrying about the doubts that filled my head. I followed what my heart told me to do. I pushed Noah backward. I moved too fast and he tripped over the coffee table causing him to fall onto the couch with me on top of him.
He laughed. "If you don't make me immortal I think I may kill myself anyway."
I giggled. I actually giggled. A sound I hadn't heard come from my mouth in such a long time. It was so foreign that I almost didn't recognize it. I hadn't laughed since my mother was alive. Sure, I smiled once in a while, but most of the time it was to hide what I was truly feeling. Even in our small coven I was always the serious one. The responsible one. The one who always did things by the book. Well, not anymore. Now I was going to do something for myself. I was going to be completely selfish for a change.
Noah's gaze became fixed on mine. All the levity gone from his expression. The dark chocolate pools of his eyes delectable enough to feast on looking upon me with adoration. If those eyes were the only thing I was able to stare at for the rest of my eternal life, I would be one happy woman.
He reached down to the hem of his shirt and slowly pulled it over his head. My eyes indulged in the sight of his perfect body. He wasn't a bulky guy, but he was definitely ripped in all the right places. I licked my dry lips and swallowed hard.
Noah leaned forward and cradled my face in his hands. "Here, let me do that for you."
Before I had a chance to protest, his tongue glided over my lips. Heat radiated through my body as a pool of liquid heat began to form between my thighs.
He whispered against my red swollen lips. "Caressa, do it now. Bite me, make me yours."
I sat back on my heels. "I will, but first I want something from you." I shouldn't have been asking anything of him. Wasn't his life enough for me? Of course it was, but I wanted more. I wanted to remember what he was like before he became a vampire. I wanted the real Noah. The Noah I had come to love in such a short time. I wanted to feel him inside me as the sensitive man who now looked at me with sincerity, before he turned into an overpowering, demanding, and sex crazed immortal.
I pushed those thoughts out of my head because I didn't care what Noah would become. If I had to be his slave for all eternity, then that's exactly what I’d be. I didn't care as long as I could be a part of his life. I needed him desperately. I wouldn't be able to breathe anymore if he wasn't in my life.
"What do you want? Anything I can give you Caressa, I will."
I smiled. "I want you, like this, for one night. I want you to make love to me while you're still human and you belong to me."
"On one condition."
I arched my eyebrow wondering what his condition would be. “What’s your condition?”
"I get to have complete control. Let me show you how it feels to be loved. Let me please you Caressa."
My first thought was no way in Hell was I going to relinquish control over to someone else. But, he was human. What harm could he possibly do to me? I scoffed, making light of his request, not fully realizing the impact he would have on me. "Okay."
Nothing else was said between us. Instead, he rose from the seat, switched our positions, and gently pushed me down to sit where he had been only a moment before. It was heavenly to feel the warmth of his body as it still clung to the leather.
Still standing he reached for the hem of my dress and lifted over my head. His eyes roamed over my body. I felt so self-conscious. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on in his head. Even though I was a vampire and considered to be absolutely perfect, that was not how I felt at all. My skin was pale, I was too skinny, and more importantly I fed on innocent people for food. I averted his scrutinizing gaze.
"Caressa, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"Then why won't you look at me."
I lied. "I'm just scared I might hurt you is all. I've...I've..."
"What?"
"I've never had sex with a human before. Well, I had a few times before, but that was when I was human. I have never been with a human while I was a…" My voice trailed off. I
was so stupid, and even worse, I allowed him to see my weaknesses. The insecurities no one ever saw. Not even my sisters.
"I can assure you I am not as fragile as you think I am. Just lay back and relax. You promised I would be in control, now just let me."
Lay back and relax. Sure, I could do that. No problem, no problem at all. I did as he said and bunched up my long blonde hair on top of my head before laying down. The gold locks fanned out around me and I closed my eyes. I took long deep breaths to finally release some of the tension that had built up inside over the years.
I was expecting to hear the sound of Noah's zipper being opened, preparing myself to experience whatever he had in store for me, and from the way he was pressed up against me earlier, I'm sure he had plenty to offer. Instead, he placed one hand under my calf and moved my leg so my foot was placed flat against the cool wood floor. With his other hand he bent my other leg and pressed my knee against the soft leather of the couch.
My heart was racing and my breathing sped up. It was becoming very difficult to swallow. I had never been so intimate, so open, literally, with a man before. Sure I've had plenty of sex as a vampire, but it was with other males of my own kind. Mainly Marcus. I forced the images of Marcus out of my head and focused on Noah. Gentle, sweet, caring Noah.
He splayed his hands on my thighs and gently ran his palms toward my hips. My first instinct was to close my legs, but as his hands went higher and higher the less I felt inclined to do so. When he reached my hips he didn't stop there. He continued upward, stopped at the silky fabric of my bra, and circled his fingers around the hardened peaks. I moaned from the sensation, wanting more, so much more. I placed my hand over his and forced his hand to squeeze my aching breasts.
I peered down where his head was now placed between my legs; he glanced up at me with a smug grin. He knew he was toying with me and I was loving every minute of it. "Take it easy my dark angel. We have all night and I plan to go slow. I want to have my fill of you. To have you writhing under me with abandon. I want you to let go Caressa. Forget about everyone who has ever hurt you. Nothing else matters right now. There’s only you and me."
I wanted to believe his words so bad. I wanted to believe we could live a happy life, but the truth was, we would have to fight for happiness every single day. But, none of that mattered right now. All I wanted was for him to take me away. Take me away from reality even if it was only for a few hours. "Noah." I rasped through a ragged breath.
He lowered his mouth onto my black silk panties that were already soaked from the mere thought of what he was about to do. Instead of pulling down my underwear, he licked my wet pussy through the soft fabric. I arched my back giving him more access to what I was aching for. When he didn't take my hint and glided his tongue over my swollen clit through my panties again, I fisted a handful of his hair. I forced his mouth against me harder. "More Noah. I want more."
His lips vibrated against my pussy. “Mmm, you’re so fucking wet. So responsive to my touch. Tell me what you want my dark angel.”
I could barely breathe as I listened to his rough voice enticing me. “Oh God Noah. I want you inside me.”
He slid his finger under the elastic band that clung to my hip and slowly pulled down the thin fabric that separated his delectable mouth from my throbbing pussy. After throwing the garment over his shoulder he leaned on his elbows, snaked his arms under my ass, then positioned his hands on the top of my thighs. He pulled me closer to his face and slowly glided his tongue over the small bundle of nerves that was on the verge of exploding.
Heat began to fill my belly and for the first time since the day my mother died I felt warm, loved, and wanted. Not the monster I always thought I was.
I lifted my leg off the floor and placed it over his shoulder, pressing my heel of my foot between his shoulder blades. I raised my head to look at his face buried between my legs. I saw his tongue as he licked my sensitive clit and sucked the wetness coating my pussy; I rocked my hips in time with his blissful tongue.
Noah peered up at me as the corner of his mouth tipped up. "You taste so fucking good, like a perfectly aged fine wine. I wouldn't mind getting drunk from you every day."
Greedily he devoured me with his mouth, stroking his tongue faster and faster until I could no longer hold on. My release came hard and fast. I shuddered uncontrollably as he lapped every bit of moisture from me. I wanted him inside me desperately. Even though I had promised him full control it wasn't in me anymore.
I wanted to please him like he had done for me. I would be able to do that for him for at least one night. Being human he'd be plenty satisfied with only me. I relished at the thought and gave into my powerful beastly nature. I pushed him onto his back catching him off guard. He was silent as I undid his belt buckle and slipped down his zipper.
He raised his hips a little to allow me enough room to slide his pants and boxers around his ankles. We locked gazes just before I lowered my head onto his hard cock. First licking the tip, then taking more of him into my mouth.
He sucked in a breath through gritted teeth, tilting his head back as he slid his hands in my long hair. "Fuck."
I smiled with my mouth still full of him and moved faster, sucking harder. I stopped just as he was near climax.
He grunted when I suddenly put an end to his pleasure. "Why did you stop?"
"Noah, I want to make you mine now."
He smiled. "Right now? This second?"
I smiled back. I couldn't help it. His expression was full of excitement. He looked like a kid opening presents on Christmas morning. "Yes, but Noah it will be painful and you will never again be as you are now."
He leaned forward and framed my face in his hands, pulling me to his mouth, and gave me a gentle kiss on my lips. Levity left his face as he whispered against my parted lips. "Caressa, I want this. I want you. Nothing is going to change that." He smiled softly.
"Okay, lean back."
He did what I asked and closed his eyes. He turned his head to the side to expose his neck. I giggled and his eyes shot open. "What's so funny? I hope you're not laughing at my dick, because you weren't laughing at it a minute ago." He cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Oh no, I find your cock quite spectacular actually."
He placed his hands behind his head and leaned back, proud of himself. If he were a silver back gorilla, he would have surely beaten on his chest making sure I knew he was king of the jungle. "Spectacular huh?"
I laughed. It was becoming a common thing around him and I absolutely loved it. I loved how comfortable he made me feel. I loved how I could be myself around him without being judged.
"Well, what's so funny then?"
"I'm not going to bite your neck."
He stretched out his arm presenting me with his wrist. "Here?"
I shook my head. "Noah, you've see too many vampire movies." I trailed my long red nails down his stomach, purposely skipping over his still rock hard cock, and stopped at his inner left thigh. I tapped the spot lightly, then rubbed it with the pad of my thumb. "Right here."
I pulled him down by his waist and bent his knee to give me better access to the place I was about to feast on. "Watch me Noah. I want you to watch me as I make you mine." The room fell completely silent. The only sound was the rapid beating of our heartbeats echoing in my ears. I lowered my mouth onto him and closed my mouth around his full cock, the salty taste of pre-cum awakened the beast inside me. I roughly scraped my nails against his thigh as I worked him with my hungry wet mouth.
He was close to his release so I took over with my hand as my fangs descended into my mouth. Faster and faster I pumped him until he groaned, that was when I sank my teeth into his flesh. He jerked in my hand and with each pull on his vein I milked him harder, squeezing harder, guiding his cum to the tip, making it spill over the top of my hand.
My pussy clenched and heat built in my belly. A combination of my own orgasm and his blood entering my body was the single most erotic sensation I had eve
r experienced in my life. I never wanted it to end, but knew it was going to, and soon. Noah's breathing became labored and his heart slowed to a beat that was now near death. This was my time to stop tugging on his vein. I had completely drained his body of the blood he needed to sustain life. He was completely still as I pulled his boxers up and took off his pants. I could have left him naked, it was only the two of us in the room, but it seemed...disrespectful to leave him with his pants down when he was about to die.
Then it began. The convulsing and the agony of death took over Noah's body. His screams filled the air and I stepped back with my hands over my ears. Of course in the three hundred plus years I had been a vampire I'd seen humans being turned, but this wasn't any ordinary person. This was Noah. My Noah. It was breaking my heart to watch the life being squeezed out of him. A life I had taken from him. But I had to pull myself together because if he didn't feed from me now he would die a mortal death and he would be gone from me forever.
I pushed the coffee table into the wall making the thick glass shatter all over the floor. I yanked Noah off the couch and held his chin up with my hand. I bit my wrist on my free arm and allowed my blood to drip into his mouth, giving him new life. A life he may hate me for once he realized what being an immortal really entailed.
At first he pushed my arm away, but when he finally tasted my blood he grabbed my arm, bringing my wrist to his mouth. He sucked and was stilled for a few moments until the poison of my blood coursed through his body. His head jerked back and forth before he rolled himself into a fetal position. Tears pooled in my eyes and I quickly brushed them away when they fell. This was no time to be weak. I had to be strong. Not only for myself, but for Noah as well. He would be a new vampire and would need my guidance. I couldn't fail him when he trusted me with all his heart.
Chapter 9
I threw Noah over my shoulder which wasn't the best idea because he was so much taller than I was. His feet dangled in front of me, making me trip every few steps. But this was the only way to get him to my bed. I was feeling weak from being drained and needed a little while to recover as well.
