Marie's Blood Mate

by Tamsin Baker

  She pulled his face up to hers and pressed her lips to Sil’s, revelling in what was essentially her first real kiss as he slipped a long finger deep inside her.

  Something inside her shattered at that moment. She moaned and convulsed, digging her fingers into his shoulders as her body exploded with pleasure.

  “I shouldn’t, Marie...”

  Marie heard Sil’s words against her ear and moved down to free his straining cock from his breeches.

  Determined to have everything he had to offer and give everything she had to give, Marie raised herself up and felt the large head nudge her wet outer lips. She smiled as she pressed down, feeling the slide of Sil’s cock as it forged a new passage within her. He was large but she kept pressing down until she encased him fully.

  Sil gasped and threw back his head, gripping her hips hard.

  “Marie, you feel like Heaven...”

  She smiled and began to move, rocking her hips and building speed, listening to her own body and his sounds of pleasure. The wave built again, the heat roiling through her blood.

  “Oh my God, Sil...”

  She panted, threw her head back and let it take her.

  Sil thrust into her hard and fast, moaning his own pleasure until Marie imploded and he bit into her neck at the same time as his seed pulsed into her.

  “God….”

  Marie saw flashes of images, more vivid than the last pictures. Sil younger, Sil human, amazing colors and feelings imprinted on her mind.

  When he drew back, she smiled down on him and bent her head to kiss him once more.

  “Thank you,” she whispered against his soft lips.

  Still inside her, Sil reached up to caress her flushed cheek.

  “Tell me what you meant when you said you saw pictures when I fed on you.”

  She smiled dreamily, her eyes sliding shut. She nestled her head on his shoulder and sighed happily.

  “Last time I saw you with Lina and two other people, but this time I saw you as a younger man. I love you feeding on me.”

  She was beginning to drift off to sleep but Sil’s shaking shoulders brought her quickly back to reality.

  Marie opened her eyes and lifted her head, devastated to see blood red tears sliding down Sil’s papery skin.

  “Sil, did I say something wrong?”

  He shook his head, his hands stroking down her naked back reassuringly.

  “I’d given up finding you hundreds of years ago. I thought I’d missed out on my chance for a blood mate.”

  Marie stroked Sil’s face, wiping away the tears that had finally stopped flowing. She didn’t understand what he was talking about.

  “A blood mate?”

  He nodded and leaned forward to kiss her tenderly before pulling back to explain.

  “A blood mate is a person predestined to be your mate, as Benedict is for Lina and Antony. Their blood is the sweetest thing they’ve ever tasted and they will see your memories when you feed on them.”

  Marie’s relief was so acute, tears welled and slid down her cheeks.

  “So you won’t get rid of me?”

  Sil chuckled and tightened his hold on her.

  “Never. We will be bonded and then I will turn you. We will be together forever.”

  Marie didn’t want to wait.

  “Turn me now, we don’t need anyone else. Please.” She tilted her head and leaned closer.

  Sil frowned for a moment, then looked longingly at her neck.

  “I usually perform the mating ritual myself. I will speak some words and then you may also say something. Then I will turn you into my immortal lover.”

  She nodded, waiting impatiently on his lap.

  “Marie, after a thousand years, Fate has sent me the one person designed for me. My feelings are hard to express. Ecstasy, joy, relief. I will spend the rest of our existence looking after you and loving you. For all time.”

  Marie’s eyes welled with hot tears once again and she bit her lip in an attempt to stay them. She was marrying Sil, more than marrying him. Committing to love him and stay with him for eternity. She should have felt overwhelmed but all she could do was rush into her own vows, lest he change his mind.

  “Sil, I knew the moment you saved me you were special. When you touched me, I wanted you as I have wanted no other. Please turn me now so I can stay by your side and love you forever.”

  One more red tear slid down Sil’s cheek as he exposed his long, white fangs.

  “Not long, lover.”

  And he bit her.

  Marie closed her eyes and held him to her. He drank and drank, her life leeching out of her and into him. She welcomed the darkness, knowing he would find her and only then could she begin the rest of her life.

  The End
