Paranormal Nights

by CJ Ellisson

  “No, ma’am,” I say, while rising to meet my lover’s demands.

  Her talented toes latch onto my underwear and she scoots the fabric down my hips while I laugh in surprise. “That’s an interesting talent you’ve got there.”

  She grabs my hips and pulls me close, nestling me up against her wet entrance. “You have no idea.”

  One hot hand wraps my length, guiding me exactly where I need to go. Gratitude washes through me at her readiness. Is there anything sexier than a partner who wants you as much as you want them? I stare into her blue eyes as I thrust forward slowly, unsure how fast she’ll want me to take her and unwilling to hurt her tender flesh in my haste.

  “Oh… yes… that’s it,” she whispers before leaning in to kiss my neck. Delicate teeth nip the taut skin, causing my hips to jerk in surprise. “You like it when I bite, do you?”

  She presses her hot mouth to me again and bites harder, pulling a groan from my lips and a spasm from my hips. Before I know it I’m seated to the hilt and my arms shake with the strain to hold back.

  “I want you, Lisa. I want you bad.”

  “You’ve got me, baby.” One hand snakes behind my head and pulls me close. “Now fuck me like you mean it.”

  Her arousing words spur me on and I follow her desires. I pull out and slam back in, relishing the feel of her clasping walls around my shaft. Over and over I thrust into her welcoming heat, those tiny heels digging into my ass begging me for more.

  “I…” I pant, gritting my teeth against my inevitable orgasm and my overwhelming urge to bite her, “I’m not going to last long…”

  “We have all night.”

  My fangs descend and I turn away, shame and uncertainty racing through me. My voice comes out a harsh whisper near her ear, “I want to bite you.”

  She shivers, the excited tremor cascading down through her pussy. “Do it.”

  I nuzzle her neck, her short blond hair tickling my forehead. Desire rides me high, urging me to plunge into her flesh with my fangs, just like my cock is doing with her body.

  Not wanting to hurt or scare her, I kiss her heated flesh, running one sharp fang along her skin. Lisa arches toward me, pressing herself harder against my mouth, eager for my forbidden kiss. Her hips meet my every thrust, matching me stroke for stroke with her own growing passion.

  “Please, Asa…. Bite me.”

  Her soft plea pushes me over the edge and I lightly sink my teeth into her flesh. The second the tangy taste of her blood washes over my tongue I reach my peak, thrusting harder and deeper into the inviting heat between her legs.

  My orgasm starts to jet as I pull on the shallow wound, drawing a small mouthful of blood from my lover. A scream of ecstasy rips from her lungs as her slick interior walls spasm around me. On and on my orgasm lasts, drawn out longer by the slow sipping of her blood.

  Unwilling to take more than a mouthful from her, I draw back and lick the tiny wounds, sealing them instantly. I continue to pump my hips in and out, hoping to extend her release as long as possible.

  After a moment she quiets, her body relaxing beneath me.

  “Freakin’ hell,” she says between gasping breaths. “That was incredible.”

  I brace my weight on my elbows and mumble my agreement, kissing her neck in gratitude. What a gift this woman has given me. An intimate encounter with no pain, with no hidden agenda, just a simple joy of feeling between two people.

  Lisa turns her face toward me and I feel her smiling against my shoulder. “When can we do it again?”

  I circle my hips in answer; my length and girth not diminished one iota. “I may be undead, but I require no recovery time.”

  Lisa laughs and pulls my face to hers in a loud smacking kiss. “Damn, Asa. You’re just what I need.” She rolls me over and climbs on top. “My turn to burn some calories.”

  I reach up and grab her breasts. “You ever need a work out partner just call.”

  She swats me playfully and starts to move. “Have I told you how nice Anchorage is?”

  I thrust up with my hips, driving the blond beauty off the bed a few extra inches. “No, do tell.”

  Epilogue

  The trip to the V V Inn has been successful in more ways than one. Oddly, I’ll miss the place, mainly because of Asa. On the other hand I can’t wait to get home and back to a normal life. I might be a grim reaper with all that entails, but there is a whole world I never knew existed. I can only imagine what else is out there.

  I glance at Jon. He agreed to drive me to the airport. Though I hadn’t had much contact with him, I think he’s happy to see me go. “So, a werewolf, eh?”

  He smirks. “Yeah.”

  “Interesting.” Looking back at the road I sift through the questions I want to ask. The ride is short so I have limited time. Plus, I’m not sure how receptive he’ll be to my probing. “Is that full moon thing a myth?”

  His eyes cut to me. “No, the urge to turn is just stronger.” He looks back to the road. Okay, not a big talker. “That whole scythe thing—is that a myth?”

  I shrug. “Heck if I know. I don’t have one but there’s a lot about being a reaper I haven’t learned yet.”

  We ride the rest of the way in silence. Asa said he’d meet me in the hangar. Some of my memories about the past few days are fuzzy. I can’t help but wonder if he’s done something to erase knowledge I’m not supposed to have. The idea doesn’t make me angry. Actually the opposite. It’s probably better I don’t remember. That saying I can tell you, but I’d have to kill you comes to mind. Yeah, ignorance is bliss.

  The SUV stops outside the hangar and I see Asa waiting in the shadows. My heart gives a little leap. Damn he’s sexy. Being with him has done more for my self-esteem than a whole library of self-help books could have.

  After unloading my bag Jon turns to me. “Thanks. I was skeptical but…thanks.”

  I stick out my hand. “You’re welcome.” He hesitates to take it. “I promise I won’t reap you.”

  He smiles and gives my hand a shake. Then he gets back into the vehicle and drives away. A man I’ve not seen before takes my bag.

  “Whenever you’re ready, Mrs. Carron.”

  “Thank you.” I scan the area but the small plane I arrived in isn’t there. Only the jet. “Are we taking that?”

  “Yes, ma’am. I’ll wait on board for you.”

  Wow, it’s my lucky day. I could get used to perks like this. I head into the hangar and stop when I reach Asa. “Did you arrange for the jet?”

  He hooks his finger inside the neck of my shirt and pulls me to him. “You deserve a sweet ride home after what you’ve been through.”

  “You sure know the way to a girl’s heart.” Wrapping my arms around him I tilt my face toward his. “I think I’m going to miss you a little.”

  His mouth descends to mine. The kiss is slow and hot. If there wasn’t a pilot waiting for me I might be inclined to give him a proper goodbye. However, we did do that several times the night before—and this morning.

  After a blissful minute he breaks our kiss. “I think I’m going to miss you a lot.”

  “You can always come to visit.” I run one hand down his chest. “Spend some time with my kids.”

  “I’d like that.” He leans in and nuzzles my neck. “Maybe we could meet in Fairbanks sometime.”

  I tilt my head, giving him access. Jeez, I’ve turned into such a vampire whore. “Maybe I’ll just do that.”

  We kiss again and I pour all my sexy into it. It might be a while until I see Asa again. I don’t want him to forget about me. In an effort to get closer, I grind my body against him. Instantly he responds, his erection pressing against me. Yeah, I’m going to miss that.

  When he draws back his eyes search my face. “Thank you—for everything.”

  The moment is getting too emotional. I have to leave and he has to stay. There’s no getting around it. We come from two different worlds. They might be supernatural worlds but at this point they’re better
kept apart. “Thank you—” I gyrate against him again. “For everything.”

  A moan of desire escapes him. He cups my rear end and pulls me tighter. One more kiss and then I step away. “You know you can always call me.” I heft my bag over my shoulder. “I’m not opposed to a little long distance dirty talk.”

  “How about dirty texting?” He wiggles his eyebrows.

  “Maybe, but typing ‘moan’ one handed isn’t as good as hearing it.”

  “You’ve got a point.”

  I reach into my pocket and pull out the gold coin he gave me. “You sure Vivian won’t miss this?”

  “I’m sure.” He hooks his thumbs in his belt loops. “Wouldn’t matter anyway. Call me if you need more. I want you to stay safe.”

  “You’re the best.” I flip the coin in the air and catch it. “Okay. Until next time, vampire.”

  “Until next time, reaper.”

  Before I change my mind and throw myself at Asa again, I pivot and head into the sunlight. I don’t look back but focus on getting home to my kids. The coin is warm in my palm. Even if I do encounter another supernatural ghost I won’t be using this coin. It’s part of my time here with him—and I wouldn’t give that up for all the pirate booty in the world.

  Revenge. It’s a way of life for psychic, Lily Saburi. Haunted since the brutal murder of her best friend and partner, she’s obsessed with retribution—a vigilante bent on striking a blow for humanity against the shadowed world of the supernatural. Prey turned predator she aims to even the score—one bullet at a time starting with the beast that changed her life forever.

  Prepared for Armageddon she’s in for the fight of her life. But when mortally wounded by a diseased and insane Were, Lily is rescued by a most unlikely savior—Were-hunter, Sean Leighton. Sexy and powerful, Leighton is charged with destroying anything infected with the deadly pathogen threatening the survival of his pack, and that includes Lily. But their immediate attraction leaves them both breathless and confused. As Lily grapples with truth about herself, Leighton is faced with the looming reality that he will most likely have to kill the woman he’s falling in love with. Only time will tell if they are destined to be together or if they’ll fall victim to the Hunter’s Blood.

  Chapter One

  “Lily! Lily wake up! You’re having a nightmare…Lily!” If there were ever a time when Terry Hess missed her human form, it was now. She lifted her translucent hand to Lily’s shoulder and tried to wake her, but only managed to raise goose bumps.

  “Lily Ellen Saburi!” she shouted at the top of her lungs, grateful her psychic friend was the only one who could hear her.

  Lily sat straight up in bed, her hand gripping the .45 Caliber pistol tucked under her pillow. Her eyes flew around the room, disoriented. Drenched in a cold sweat, she leveled the gun at shadows, her surroundings slowly becoming more familiar.
