“When did this come—”
Cupping the back of her head, he pulled her closer to him. Laying his lips along hers he didn’t want to discuss his gray lock. No, he wanted to taste Adair. Deepening the kiss his pulse kicked up when he felt her moan and her tongue brush against his own.
He growled, slipping his arm around her back he drug her body against his. He needed to feel her heat, not as hot as his own but still enough to soothe his soul.
She locked her arms around his neck and held him just as tight.
Separating their lips, he whispered, “Adair, I need you.”
“Prove it,” her brown eyes were lit up with passion as she teased him.
Moving an arm beneath her knees he scooped her into his lap and rose to his feet with her. Because her apartment was so small, he had no problem discovering the door that led to her bedroom. In there he went straight to the middle of the room. Standing beside the bed he allowed her feet to lower to the floor as he started kissing her again. Yes, he needed blood, but he couldn’t get enough of her mouth. The sweet flavor of her kiss, the intense smell of her arousal was an addiction he could not see ever getting tired of.
“If you want to save the clothes you’re wearing, you will need to remove them. I can’t see myself not tearing them to shreds to have your luscious body displayed for me. I will not make the same mistake I did the last time, rushing through our time together and denying myself the delight of seeing all of you.”
A coy smile turned the corners of her lips up.
Stepping away from him, she headed to the lamp on the side of her bed.
“What are you doing?”
“Um, I think it will be better if the lights are out. You know like when we were in the darkened forest.” Her gaze shifted away from his.
He could see the hesitance that she showed in her speech and the slight tremor in her hands.
“Adair, it was not my choice to have you in the dark the last time. It was just the time of day and the nature of my existence.”
“But…” again her voice drifted away as she toyed with the hem of her t-shirt.
Something he recalled about their last encounter was how Adair had gone from a passion receptive woman to a shy person. Like a cornered rabbit. She was ashamed of her body.
Damn, stupid human men. If they couldn’t see her beauty it was up to him to prove to her that he enjoyed every curve of her body.
“I can see just as clearly in the dark, even better than I can in the daylight.”
Her eyes stretched wide.
“You’re lovely, beautiful and extremely appealing to me.”
“You just say that because you want my blood,” her eyes were bright as she teased him.
“It is still true.” He moved toward her and kissed her.
Allowing his mouth and hands to speak louder than his words, he took the moment while she was distracted by his lips to grab her shirt and start raising it. He made sure to brush light touches over her midsection as he passed every bit of revealed flesh. When he got to her breasts he paused to flick his thumbs over her nipples.
He swallowed the hiss of pleasure that came from her mouth. Leaning back he swept her shirt over her head. Placing kisses down her round cheeks and along her neck he took small nips on the curve of her shoulders. He enjoyed every shiver and moan she let out.
Her bra he ripped apart, it was something valf women didn’t wear. Along with panties. Once he convinced her to move back to his clan’s mansion he would have her get rid of all undergarments.
“You are lovely.” He began to whisper adoring words to her as he brushed his mouth and tongue over her skin. “Sexy.” He palmed her now free breasts. Admiring the two plump members, he squeezed them.
She whimpered.
Meeting her gaze he asked. “Do you like that?”
“Yes.”
Her dark brown skin appeared to glow the higher her desire became. He loved her skin, so vastly different from the pale, almost colorless complexion of all valfs.
Their child would create a new breed.
Bringing one large breast toward him as he leaned down, he drew the rich, berry-colored nipple to his mouth. He suckled the hard peak.
Adair buried her hands in his hair, holding tight as if she was afraid he would stop and end her pleasure. He had no desire to stop. Not for a very long time. When he halted things for the night they would both be exhausted. The desire to sink his fangs into the side of her stiff tip was too much to resist. Even though it would only provide a minute amount of serum to his child this action was for the father. Just like before he needed to lay claim to Adair.
She squirmed against him, moaning. Lowering one of his hands he slipped it past her navel and into the cotton pants she wore. In her panties he cupped her sex. Wet, warm silk. The short hairs adorning her sex curled around his fingers and he loved the sensation. His kind was hairless with the exception of his face and head.
Everything about Adair excited him.
Parting her labia he stroked her clit. Pressing the sensitive kernel, he loved the feel of her grinding against his hand. She was intensifying the effect of his action by grinding against him. He kept his touch firm, making circles that would counteract the motion of her hips.
“Haulc—” She never finished his name as she screamed her release.
Her pussy pulsed against his hand as her wetness pooled in his palm.
Removing his hand, he used the cream coating it to paint her breasts. Her spicy, earthy hibiscus blend had him turned inside out and backwards. He wanted to devour her. Gripping her by the ass he lifted her and held her against him placing her breasts right at his face. He took his time licking every succulent drop of her cream from her skin. When his tongue came across the twin puncture wounds on the sides of her left nipple, she hissed.
He could have healed them but he wanted her to carry his mark. Valf pride.
Whether he liked it or not. Understood it or not, Adair was his mate. His heir growing in her womb had sealed that issue for him.
“I thought you wanted me undressed.” She rested her palm along his cheek brushing her thumb over the rough, stubbled beard there.
“Oh, I do.” Gripping her pants he pulled them down her thighs until they pooled at her feet and she was able to step out of them. “On the bed,” he ordered.
She moved to the bed quickly and pushed all the items piled there to the floor. He didn’t like that when she got on the bed she climbed under the blanket, still uncomfortable with her body. He would have to work harder on changing that.
His clothes were off his body in a flash. A pile of black was all that was left when he stood at the side of the bed. He allowed her to take a moment to admire his body. It wasn’t like the last time when they were in the woods surrounding the mountains when she avoided looking anywhere below his chest. This time her gaze slid over his chest and shoulders then down his abdomen like a caress and when she arrived at his cock her eyes became a dark brown filled with need—hungry.
Seeing that expression made his cock stand taller, almost painful in its hardness. He wanted to be inside her more than he desired the taste of blood.
“Have you seen your fill?”
“For now,” she winked at him. Her fingers flexed over the blanket as she held it high against her breasts.
Flirtation was something valfs did often with their mates. He knew that he would enjoy all the years that filled the century and a half of his life with Adair. She had to agree to take on his life. His serum that he would supply her would not only strength their unborn baby it would extend her life as well. As long as he provided it to her daily.
A weight went around his heart for a moment as he thought of a moment of his life without her. However, he pushed that aside. He didn’t want anything to intrude on this moment with her. Reaching down, he took hold of the blanket in his fist and yanked it away.
She gasped. Shocked she scrambled with her hands trying to catch a piece of the cover
ing. “What are you doing?”
He flung it to the floor out of her reach. “Getting a chance to look at you as you did me.”
Her hands were strategically placed across her breasts and over her sex as she curled onto her side trying to obstruct his view.
“Adair, look at me.” Standing with his hands on his hips he waited beside the bed.
When she hesitated, her head still bowed in shame, he said it again.
“Adair, my heart, look at me, please.” As the Alpha of his clan, the last word was something he barely had to use, but for her he was willing to do anything.
Slowly she raised her head. In her gaze was still the desire she felt for him, but her face was shadowed with insecurity.
“What did I tell you I thought about your body?”
She sank her teeth into her bottom lip and for a moment he thought she wasn’t going to respond.
Then she said, “That it was beautiful.”
“You are beautiful. What else did I tell you?”
“That I was shaped in the valf female fashion, curvy.” She shook her head. “I don’t see how that is possible when you look like that.” Releasing her breasts, she waved a hand up and down indicating his body.
He chuckled. “I don’t know why the Great Spirit balanced it this way. However, trust my word. Once you get to our compound and meet my clan you will see.”
“Haulcon, about that—”
“Shh. We are not going to debate that again now. I’m going to pleasure you. Then if you have any sense left in that lovely head of yours to argue after that…I will start all over again.”
She laughed.
“Now, roll over so I can see all of you. Trust me.”
Taking a deep breath, she held it then exhaled slowly as she shifted onto her back and lowered her hands to her side.
All of her nerves had not left her, he could clearly see it in the way she worried her bottom lip again, but she remained still as he looked his fill.
“You’re absolutely breathtaking.” Moving forward, he set one knee down onto the mattress then brought the second one up. Her bed wasn’t as large as those of most valfs and definitely nowhere near the size of his. However, it would do. He would have made love to her anywhere.
Crawling over her, he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.
“Thank you.” She placed her palms on his face.
“For what?”
“Being here. When I realized that I was pregnant I felt alone and didn’t know what to do. Hell, I was still in shock when you arrived, but I’m glad not to have to deal with this child by myself.”
“I will always be here for you and all offspring we have.”
Shaking her head she giggled. “Um, let’s get through this one first.”
Laying his body over hers he pressed his lips to her ear. “Whatever you desire.”
“You—that’s what I desire.” She kissed him deeply as she circled his shoulders with her arms and stroked along his spine.
A quiver ran through his body. He groaned as he broke away from her mouth and placed light kisses down her body as he lowered himself. At her navel he swirled his tongue around the indention, teasing the area.
Squirming on the bed, she sighed and pulled away from him, pushing at his shoulders.
He glanced up at her, curious at why she moved away.
“It tickles.”
Tilting his head, he stared at her. “What does that mean?”
“You know tickle. When your body is sensitive in an area and you can’t take a lot of touching there.”
“If it turns you on, why would you want it to stop?”
“Not like being turned on, more like making you laugh and you can’t stop as long as you’re being touched. Don’t you have tickle spots?”
“No. Valfs have humor. If something is said that is funny, we laugh. However there is no place on our body that cannot be touched or it makes us laugh. Touch to us is either friendly, family comfort or sensual.”
“Oh. Well, there are a lot of different places humans are ticklish.”
Now he felt like he wanted to discover all of Adair’s tickly spots. “I want to know everything about you.”
“And I you.”
Returning his attention to what he’d been doing, he nipped at the flesh on both sides of her navel and continued on. The short cut, triangle of hair over her sex captivated him. He brushed along it and then slipped down between her folds.
Pushing her thighs apart he settled his shoulders between them. Inhaling deeply he rejoiced at the heady, sweet musk of her pussy. Parting her labia with his thumbs he admired the plump brown folds and the inside pink, moist flesh. Her cream shined and beckoned him to taste.
Leaning in he pressed his tongue into the narrow opening of her pussy. Slipping in as deeply as possible, he lapped up the cream along the delicate walls. In and out, he taunted her.
Adair moaned and rocked her hips against his mouth.
He held her hips tightly, wanting to collect ever drop of her dew.
“Haulcon…” She started to shake.
Pulling his tongue out, he dragged it flat over her clit. Circling the tight band over nerves he enjoyed her response as she dug her heels into the mattress and parted her knees wider, thrusting toward his mouth in time with his licks.
Her pleasure broke within her. She screamed his name as she thrashed before him.
Unable to resist tasting her deeply, he held her right thigh as he moved to the side of her sex and sank his fangs into her femoral artery. He drank liberally as he allowed his serum to flood into her body as well, to provide sustenance to their unborn child.
Once again her moaning started, becoming louder as he fed his body with her blood until she came a second time.
With a final burst of his serum into her body he retracted his fangs and licked the twin punctures to ensure they sealed and healed.
Needing to be inside of her in a more intrinsic way, he rose until they were eye to eye again. “Open to me.”
“Yes.” She parted her thighs wide.
Taking hold of his member, he guided his cock into her wet pussy. Loving the feel of her tight slick flesh giving way to his entry. He kept his tempo slow this time. There was no need to rush.
He pulled out and slipped in deeper.
Adair didn’t break eye contact with him, she kept her focus locked with his even as she sighed and moaned at the gradual rhythm.
Groaning, he relished the sensations. This was what he missed the last time. When they were in the forest, his need for her had been so overpowering it had driven him mindlessly. At that time he only wanted to be deep inside her when he came. This time he was looking forward to the full ride and experience.
“You feel so good inside me, Haulcon.”
“Wrap your legs around me.”
When she did, he gave a final thrust and seated himself all the way in. His gut clenched at the mind-blowing sensation. Valf males were sensitive along every inch of their cock. So, the feel of her hot, snug pussy had him shaking from his core out.
Kissing her deeply, he began to glide his shaft along her walls.
Gathering her in his arms, he was cautious not to hurt her with his strength, but he wanted her close.
They each took and gave pleasure.
When he felt the quakes begin in her body, he increased his pace. The power of his thrusts became stronger. He allowed her cries of satisfaction to be his guide, to tell him if he was taking her too roughly.
When she pulled her mouth away and tossed her head back screaming her orgasm something broke inside of him. Giving in to the demands of his passion, he pistoned his hips forward hard and fast.
She imbedded her nails hard into his shoulder, as she met him one thrust after another.
“Don’t stop… Yes, Haulcon!”
The seductive urging of her voice, tossed him over the edge of sanity and into pleasure’s ravine. Growling, he emptied his seed into her.
&
nbsp; “More,” she called out as she shoved against his chest.
Not needing recovery time, his cock still stiff inside of her, he allowed her the lead. He rolled to his back and watched as she straddled him. His heart thumped wildly with excitement as he watched the sensual beauty of her abandonment. His fangs lengthened and serum dripped from them. This woman was his mate and he desired to keep the connection between them on so many levels.
Her head was tossed back, her hair spilling over her shoulders, showcasing the arch of her neck and the jostling of her large breasts. Adair swiveled her hips down on him, with a boldness he wished she carried when they were outside of bed. He wanted her to see the same beauty in herself that he observed. That beauty that stole his breath every time.
With every bounce of her hips, he arched up to her and pressed his cock to the hilt.
Haulcon, I need more. Tilting her head down, she looked at him with a gaze dark with passion.
Take what you need. I’m here with you.
I can’t. She ground her hips, rotating them against him as shivers raced through her.
Why?
I…I… Even in her thoughts she hesitated.
However he knew why. It was her complete surrender she would have to give. There was no doubt in his mind that Adair understood that in yielding to him totally, it was a full commitment that would place her and their unborn child on valf territory.
He would allow her the benefit of verbalizing the decision on her own, even though he would not have left the human city without her.
“What, Adair,” he urged.
“Drink from me. Feed from me. Make me your mate.” She tilted her head to the side and offered him her neck.
If she were valf at this moment they would bite each other in a blood bond exchange. However, she would have his serum flowing through her veins and it would leave them no less connected.
He sat up, slipped his arms around her waist and cupped her round, firm ass. Licking the side of her neck, he tasted the salty/sweet flavor of her flesh as he inhaled the wild hibiscus scent.
