“Fuck, Sarah. That feels so good. Tonight, I’m going to make love to you real good, baby. You’ll see. Devon and I will never let you go without pleasure. Just the thought of my tongue sliding into your pussy is bringing me close.”
Gavin pulled gently at her nipple. The words he spoke tightened her insides. Urgency forced Sarah to take his cock deeper inside her mouth. She applied suction with her lips to taste more of him, to have him share his distinct flavor with her.
A load groan echoed off the walls, and greedily, she stroked his length faster with her hand. No longer could she hold off the building orgasm. Devon thrust hard as he swelled inside of her. The effect made her orgasm burst from her body. Feeling the warmth fill her, Sarah heard the sheet tear while Gavin tried to break away from her mouth, but she wouldn’t let him.
“Sarah, please. I can’t hold off any longer.”
“So, don’t,” she whispered, sliding him back inside.
Warmth coated her mouth. At his essence sweeping through her senses, she heard herself moan. He tasted better than anything she’d ever consumed. She hungrily held onto his thighs until she felt sure she’d savored every last drop.
Devon’s body dropped back toward the pillows, while Gavin fell to the bed. Heaviness settled over her, and before she could go over everything they all just went through, she sank into the darkness.
Chapter 15
Sarah awoke to the sound of banging. Groggily, she reached for her pillow trying to bury herself underneath, but as her hand felt around blindly for the feather fluffiness, it was nowhere within reach. Her fingers came in contact with a leg, and she suddenly recalled the events like a tidal wave.
Bolting to a sitting position, she took in the two nude bodies sprawled out on the bed. Gavin was practically hanging off the end of one side while Devon was more curled around the top.
Smiling, Sarah eased from the bed and grabbed her robe. Gavin sat up slowly and another round of banging brought both of them to full consciousness. The clock read nine, but the light still poured through the windows. Confused, she took her watch from the bedside table and checked the time. Devon threw on some clothes and headed out of the room.
“It can’t be the next morning. We all couldn’t have slept that long, right?”
Gavin rubbed his eyes, looking around just as perplexed. “I don’t know. I wouldn’t think so, but what happened was pretty amazing. I don’t even remember going to sleep.”
Voices caught Sarah’s attention, and she walked to the door, listening closely. The sound of Evelyn’s laughter instantly made her smile. “Well, I guess we did sleep all day and night, Evelyn and, I’m sure, Brandon and Stephen are here. I’m jumping in the shower real quick. You can join me if you want. I mean, we don’t have to do anything. I just like being with you.”
He smiled brightly. “Okay, let me go tell Devon and the others we’ll be out shortly.”
Gavin brushed his lips against hers and was gone before she could even open her eyes. Sarah walked and turned on the shower, testing the water until it felt warm enough to get in. She had just rinsed the soap off her body when he pulled back the curtain and stepped in.
“Devon told us not to be long. Evelyn’s not feeling too well, and they want her in bed, resting.”
“Is she sick? She sounded fine when I heard her earlier.”
Gavin shifted on his feet and shrugged, stepping in the water next to her. Confused, Sarah waited patiently while he washed his body. Her friend hadn’t seemed sick. Evelyn sounded fine. She was laughing.
Stepping back into the water, she quickly got her hair wet. Gavin surprised her by filling his palm with shampoo and working it into a lather. Just the feeling of him touching her, easing his fingers into her hair made heat quickly cover her skin. She suddenly realized his powerful, defined body so close to hers.
A laugh caught Sarah off guard, making her jump. “Now, now, my dear, sweet lover. If you start with those types of thoughts, we’ll never make it out of this bathroom, and we have people waiting.”
“I’m sorry. You just look so irresistible.” Sarah licked the drop of water off his chest. “I think I like you taking a shower with me.”
Gavin shuddered beneath her. “Oh, I like it, too, baby, but right now we need to get back to the people who are waiting on us. I promise to make this up to you real good when everyone’s gone.”
“I’ll hold you to that.”.
Trying to shake herself from the spell she was under, Sarah rinsed her hair and got out of the shower as fast as she could. He was right. Evelyn wasn’t feeling well, and she needed to find out if her friend needed anything.
As Sarah walked into her bedroom, Devon was waiting. The smile transforming his face made her blush. The last twenty-four hours seemed surreal the more she thought of it. She’d never imagined herself this happy again, especially with her ex.
“Everyone’s waiting in the living room, but Brandon thinks it will be better to unlock the memories here on the bed. He seems to believe you’ll be in need of some…attention, after he’s done. We’ve all agreed that it’s probably best for Gavin to take care of you. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot to discuss once we know something.”
Sarah froze. “Hold on, I don’t understand. If Brandon’s a vampire, how is he out during the day? Shouldn’t he be dust right now?”
Devon and Gavin both laughed. Devon opened his mouth to explain. “Honey, that’s just myth. Well, kind of. You see, vampires are sensitive to sunlight if exposed over a certain length of time. They get really bad sunburns if they’re in it too long, but I think they’re main problem is light in general. It’s horrible for their eyes. I think that’s probably why they wear shades a lot, even in the dark.
“The older the vampire, the more problems they face. I guess that’s where the myths came from. After a certain point, the pain makes it impossible for them to come out during the day, not to mention their skin burns a lot easier with age.”
“Oh.” Sarah took a deep breath, trying to process everything. As her mind drifted her to best friend, she pushed the fascinating thoughts about what Brandon was away. “I want to speak with Evelyn before we do this. I was told she felt sick.”
Devon’s smile melted off his face. “Yes, she wasn’t feeling very well, but I think she’s better now. You and Gavin get dressed, and then I’ll send her in.”
Sarah watched him walk out of the room. Biting her lip, she couldn’t shake the unexplained nervousness. As quickly as she could, she threw on clothes, hardly noticing Gavin getting dressed behind her. Advancing toward the door, she was surprised when it opened and everyone walked in.
“Ev, what’s going on? Why are you here if you’re not feeling well?”
The smile that appeared across her best friend’s face momentarily confused her. Evelyn didn’t look sick. The paleness of her skin looked normal.
“Sarah.” Slowly advancing toward her, Evelyn turned to look at Stephen and Brandon, and then faced her. “I wanted to wait to say something, but the secret is driving me crazy. I have to tell someone, and I want it to be you, but you can’t tell the girls yet.”
“Of course, tell me.”
The smile slowly left her pale face only to return moments later. “I’m pregnant. We’re going to have a baby. Isn’t that great?”
Sarah could feel her lips part as she fought to think of words to say. Truly, she felt happy for her friend, but she wasn’t expecting the news. She froze in shock. She quickly fought the images of her own pregnancy so many years ago and thought of Ev. Closing her mouth, she walked forward, embracing Evelyn’s small frame.
“That’s wonderful news. I’m so happy for you. How are you feeling?”
Air brushed against Sarah’s neck as Evelyn laughed. “Tired, nauseous. But I couldn’t be happier. What about you? I was told you’re finally marked.”
Heat filled her cheeks at Evelyn knowing, but it wasn’t as if her friend hadn’t undergone the same thing. Pulling back, Sarah wa
lked to sit on the edge of the bed. “I feel great, wonderful, actually. But come sit by me and tell me more about you. How far along are you? Have you thought of any names, a gender you’re leaning toward?”
“I’m not sure yet.” For moments, her friend studied her face. “Sarah, please. I know this must be hard for you.” Evelyn sat down on the bed, grabbing her friend’s hand. “There’s plenty of time to talk about the baby. Right now, let’s just focus on you. Brandon thinks he can find out more about Tom by doing this. I couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing to be afraid of, I promise.”
Cautiously, Sarah looked up at Devon, then Gavin. “I trust you, Ev. I know you wouldn’t let anything happen to me. But really, I’m okay about your pregnancy. Please don’t keep anything from me because you might think it will upset me. I’m better now, I promise.
“Let’s get this out of the way. I want to hear about the baby. If this is the only way to get you to tell me the details then what do I need to do to get started?”
“That’s my girl.” Evelyn waved Brandon in their direction. “I want you to lie back on the bed. You need to get in the middle though. Gavin will be on one side of you, Brandon on the other. He’s going to…bite you, and then after he’s finished we’ll leave you and your mate alone while we discuss what we’ve learned with Devon.”
Sarah nodded and crawled to the middle of the bed. She could feel her heart hammering away at what was about to happen. Everyone kept saying it wouldn’t hurt. What if it did? What if something went terribly wrong?
Brandon and Gavin settled themselves beside her. Panicked, Sarah bolted into a sitting position. “Devon…”
Devon quickly reached her side. “What is it? Sarah, if you don’t want to do this, all you have to do is say so. We’ll stop right now.”
“No, I just…Just tell me everything will be okay. When you go discuss this, you won’t be gone long, right?”
A smile stretched across his face flashing straight, white teeth. “No, I’ll hurry back as fast as I can.”
“All right.” Sarah lay back against the bed and closed her eyes. “Brandon, if you hurt me, so help me God…”
A loud laugh echoed through the room. “No worries. I won’t hurt you. Evelyn would have my hide. Trust me, the last thing I want to do is upset her right now her. That woman has a temper like you wouldn’t believe. The hormones, my God! ”
“I can hear you,” Ev said, laughing.
“Right. Okay, Sarah I want you to relax. Gavin, do me a favor and face her toward you and kiss her. She needs to be…well, completely relaxed, if you know what I mean.”
Sarah felt Gavin’s arms go around her as he pulled her to face him. She looked deep into his eyes, and like every time she rested close to his body, she instantly calmed. The brush of his lips was soft against hers, gently coaxing her mouth open to receive his tongue.
The remaining people in the room vanished with the first intoxicating burst of his flavor. Heat flowed freely throughout her body, increasing the moment Gavin’s hand trailed over her hip and up her ribs. When his hand slid against the bed and wrapped around her neck, Sarah was so lost in their kiss, she hardly noticed how exposed her neck became.
Fingers weaved into her hair, at the nape of her neck, pulling her deeper into the passion she felt surging through her. A slight sting pierced her neck, instantly vanishing. A feeling only Sarah could describe as body euphoria filled ever crevice of her being. What felt like instant and multiple orgasms combined made her dig her nails into the muscle underneath Gavin’s T-shirt.
His hand tightened in her hair while they moaned into each other’s mouths simultaneously. Thoughts vanished into a jumble of complicated twists while Brandon sifted through the events of her past. She knew what he was doing, but her brain couldn’t focus, no matter how hard she tried. Overpowering pleasure seemed to be the only thing Sarah could process.
Gripping Gavin’s back tighter, she forced herself not to go any further with him, no matter how much she wanted to. As long as she didn’t forget people watched in the distance, she couldn’t touch him the way she wanted.
“Brandon,” Gavin pleaded, breaking his mouth away from hers only for a moment. She knew he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. The hardness of his cock pushed against her stomach, causing her to fight against throwing her leg over his hip to have him closer.
Images began to flash in Sarah’s mind, leaving her frozen. Everything disappeared as Tom’s fangs sank into her neck. The same pleasure she experienced now made her plead out to him. She couldn’t believe the way she could see herself acting. It was so unlike the way she responded to her bets. Promises poured out of her mouth. Promises she knew she’d never keep if she were in her right mind. She could feel the fangs ease out of her neck, and the light blue eyes blazed down at her.
“You belong to me now, Sarah. Tell me you belong to me.”
“No,” she could hear herself whisper. “I can’t. I’ll do anything tonight, tomorrow night, a month from now, but I don’t belong to anyone.”
“Maybe not now, my dear, but you’ll eventually beg me to make you mine. You promise me a continual affair, something your mind tells me you never do, but I want more than that.”
“I said I can’t.” Sarah could feel the bliss begin to wear off and her mind clearing. “I said affair. You’d be smart to take me up on my proposition. It’s one I’ve never offered to anyone.”
The length of Tom’s cock eased inside of her. Holding in a moan, Sarah focused on not giving into what he wanted. She couldn’t belong to him. Her heart would always belong to someone else.
“You will be mine, Sarah.”
She wrapped her legs around his waist, ignoring his words. All she wanted to focus on was the way his cock felt sliding inside of her. And those fangs, she wanted to feel them again and again. But she wasn’t willing to give herself over to him eternally for it. She knew what he meant, what he wanted.
While Tom thrust into her repeatedly, Sarah could feel herself tightening. The instant her orgasm rocked her body fangs sank deep into her neck again causing her to scream at the intensity of her release. Blackness took over, as she hovered on the brink of unconsciousness.
“When I call tomorrow you’re going to be begging me to come get you, to fuck you like I just did. Would you like to bet on it, my dear Sarah? You like bets so much. Don’t think I couldn’t hear you and Red discussing me. How about we place a wager? If you meet me, I win. Therefore, you will forever belong to me. If you don’t, you of course win, and well…let’s face it. You’ll belong to me regardless.
“If I wasn’t being watched so closely by Channing, I’d turn you tonight. But, he’ll know. He knows everything. I can’t afford for him to find out my plans. You see, I don’t have that many chances left. One more mistake, and I’m history. Masters really don’t like their children to make trouble.”
Fangs sinking back into her neck was the last thing she felt. Sarah’s memory ended, leaving her feeling nauseous. Blinking, she tried to bring the room into focus. Gavin’s blurry face looked at her quizzically.
“Brandon, stop,” Sarah whispered.
“She’s going to be sick. Stop,” Gavin snapped.
The fangs exited her neck leaving her feeling weak. The room began to spin, but she fought the queasiness. She wasn’t sure what she expected, but it wasn’t that.
“How did you fight the pleasure? You shouldn’t have been able to resist the lust no matter what you saw. Actually, you shouldn’t have cared what you saw. The visions should’ve gone to the back burner, so to speak.” Brandon got off the bed and walked around to face her. Gavin brushed the hair back from her face while she tried to stop the rolling in her stomach.
“I don’t know. The pleasure vanished the moment the images appeared. Who’s Channing, Brandon?”
“Channing? You can’t be serious.” Devon walked over to them, anger filling his face. “Channing has been a pain in my ass for the last fifteen years. I’ve only run
into him a few times, but every time, there’s always some kind of trouble following him around.”
“Devon’s right,” Brandon sighed. “If Channing is Tom’s master, then we’ve got trouble indeed. I don’t know him well. My master warned me a long time ago to steer clear of him. He’s known in the vampire community for playing dirty. I guess we’ve found the reason why your stalker has waited a year. Anyone would be stupid to go up against Channing.”
“But Tom’s afraid of him. Can’t we go tell him about what’s going on?” Sarah sat up in the bed, swaying slightly. She couldn’t help but wonder how much blood Brandon took while unlocking her memories.
“You can’t just go up to Channing MacGregor and strike up a conversation. It just isn’t done. Plus, we’d never get past his guards, although if truth be told, he doesn’t need them. His powers are like nothing you can imagine.”
“Powers? What do you mean?”
Sarah stared at Brandon, confused, but he didn’t continue. Throbbing began to manifest at the back of her head, and it took everything she had to remain sitting.
“Sarah, I think you need rest. You’re really not feeling well.” Gavin’s soothing voice had her leaning toward him.
“Yeah, that’s because she fought the glamour.” Brandon said softly. “If she wasn’t marked, she wouldn’t have stood a chance at fighting it. It’s just a headache. The pain should subside soon. I need to make some calls and Evelyn needs rest. If Tom is stupid enough to come over here, then he deserves what you two do to him, but do not leave Sarah. If you do, you’ll regret it. He’s watching at all times. I guarantee it.”
Brandon took Evelyn’s arm and led her to the bedroom door. “Oh, and there’s one thing I know that Sarah couldn’t, and that’s his determination to have her. When a vampire locks a human’s mind, they leave an imprint. His allowed me to see what he thought at the exact time this took place. She knocked him down a peg by not begging him to stay like every other girl does. He’s used to them pleading him to either change them over or be with them forever. That’s why he wants her. He knows she won’t submit to either.”
