The Ruby Kiss
Page 28
“Just bite me,” Ruby whispered, her pleasure swirling into a hot knot of unbearable need. The sensations he experienced were resonating back to her through their bond, and it was excruciatingly delightful.
Nightshade maintained the slow sensuous rhythm of his thrusts while his fangs trailed a tantalizing streak of fire over her neck and shoulder. Ruby gripped the back of his head and pulled his mouth tighter to her skin. He hummed deep in his throat, the sound sparking along her nerves.
She strained against him as his fangs sank into her flesh, sending shards of bliss spiking through her, dropping her over the edge into mindlessness. The Ruby Kiss was more than she’d ever imagined. A connection that seemed to fuse the Magic Knot bond with the blood bond. Something unique that no other man could have offered her. So much more than the Magic Knot bond alone.

Nightshade had expected to have to concentrate hard not to drink from Ruby when he bit into her sweet flesh, but her pleasure ricocheted through him, sating his hunger, and the faint metallic sweetness on his tongue simply magnified the sensation. The bite became magically bloodless, and it worked on their energies instead, fusing the blood bond with the bond of the Magic Knot and heightening their pleasure beyond anything he’d ever imagined.
Ruby moaned, her fingers clutching him as he drove her higher toward a peak she’d never before reached. She was totally under his control, and she loved it, his strong independent woman weak with desire in his arms. The Ruby Kiss was his gift to the woman he loved. It was everything she wanted, everything any woman could want. He wanted it for her now that he saw what it was.
She writhed beneath him, and he squeezed his eyes closed, barely hanging on to his own control. When she tensed in his arms, he could do so no longer. He let himself go as her cry of release filled the soft nest, and he collapsed at her side. They snuggled together. Warm, comfortable, and sated, he dozed for a while.
Ruby’s sharp inhalation roused him. She pressed her hand to her belly, her eyes rounding. “Gosh. The life force is swirling like a tornado inside me.”
Nightshade let his consciousness combine with hers, and he sensed the blending of their energies in a magical mix as old as time. His voice came out a thick whisper: “That’s our baby forming!”
He laid a gentle hand on her belly and closed his eyes, feeling the miracle as the life force wove a web of being around the tiny spark of consciousness growing inside his woman. He had almost forgotten his driving desire in his need to pleasure Ruby, but now he had everything he wanted from life: he had secured the safety of his little brother and now he had a woman and a child. He was certain everything was perfect.
“I’m so happy I crashed through your roof into your bed,” he whispered.
Ruby curled against him with a blissful sigh. “I can’t imagine my life without you. We are both exactly where we belong. Together.”
As a child, when HELEN SCOTT TAYLOR didn’t pay attention, her teachers accused her of being away with the fairies. Things haven’t changed much! Only now, the fairies are tall and sexy and they live in her stories rather than just in her head. Helen resides in South Western England near Plymouth with her husband, two teenagers, two Shih Tzus, and a cat who rules the household with a velvet paw. With the rocky cliffs of the Atlantic to the south and the windswept expanse of Dartmoor to the west, she loves to walk in the countryside while she plots her stories. She believes deep within everyone there’s a little magic.
Helen would love to hear from readers. You can find her at www.HelenScottTaylor.com.
