Amaury moistened his fingers with her cream and drew the engorged button up, tugging on it gently. Her muscles clenched around his shaft in response. Damn, but she was tight.
“Fuck, Nina, you’re killing me.”
She let out a gurgle of a laugh and met his next thrust with even more ferocity. He repaid her by pinching her clit in the same instance, tearing an uncontrolled scream from her throat. The little temptress was trying to steal his control, but she didn’t know him well enough yet to realize that he wouldn’t allow himself to come before he’d sent her over the edge.
“Come for me baby—you want this,” Nina teased.
“You first!”
Amaury lowered his head to her neck and sank his lips onto her skin, kissing her as he continued to torture her engorged nub with his fingers. His teeth scraped against her neck, eliciting a shiver from her.
“Not fair,” she complained and moaned.
“All’s fair in love and war.”
Love?
He had no time to contemplate it. A moment later a visible shudder went through her, and then he felt it, the ripples travelling through her and hitting his body. With a triumphant groan he drove into her again and tumbled over the edge, finding his release in her shaking body, robbing him of all his senses.
Twenty-nine
Amaury found himself cradling Nina in his arms, her back tucked into his chest, her derrière fitting perfectly into his loins. Had he fallen asleep after their lovemaking? Well, he was awake now, and so was his cock which for some reason was slowly sliding back and forth along her pussy. The moisture oozing from her soft petals coated his shaft. Was that what had woken him?
Damn, but he was randy. Could he not even keep away from her in his sleep? He brushed a lock of hair out of her face and trailed his fingers over her neck. His bite marks weren’t visible anymore, but her blood was coursing through his veins and his through hers.
He would never take blood from anybody else again. Nina would be his only source for life now. Vampires blood-bonded to humans—rather than to other vampires—rejected all other blood. Only the blood of their mates could sustain them as long as they were bonded. It ensured absolute fidelity, trust, and devotion for the blood-bonded couple. Not that Amaury thought he would ever want to touch another woman but Nina, not even without the blood-bond.
His sleeping beauty had no idea what power it gave her over him. He would explain it to her once they’d settled into their new life together.
He smoothed his palm over her shoulder and kissed her pale skin.
Nina stirred. With long, slow strokes he moved his hips back and forth, sliding languidly along her warm entrance.
“Are you trying to take advantage of me while I’m asleep?” her sleepy voice asked.
“Would you like me to?”
Instead of an answer, Nina lifted her leg slightly and with her hand guided his erection into her. Her sheath was drenched with her juices and his seed. He’d never known a more welcoming feel.
“I took you hard earlier. Aren’t you sore?” He slowly moved in and out, letting her body’s rhythm guide his movements.
“And your point is?”
His answer was prevented by a loud bang at the door. Then a familiar voice. “Amaury!”
Amaury cursed under his breath. Nina turned her head, an anxious look on her face. “Who is that?” she whispered.
“I know you’re in there.”
“Hold your horses, Thomas.” He gave Nina a reassuring look. “It’s nothing to worry about. He’s a good friend.” Amaury kissed her. “We should get dressed.” His friend better had a good reason for showing up at Nina’s place. For sure, his timing sucked.
Minutes later, Amaury let an impatient-looking Thomas into the apartment. Thomas nodded curtly at Nina then addressed Amaury.
“You didn’t answer your cell.”
Amaury remembered having set the ringer to silent because he didn’t want to be disturbed. “How did you find me?”
“Let’s just say I had a hunch of where you’d be when I didn’t find you at home.” His gaze went to Nina. “Excuse me, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Thomas.”
He stretched his hand out to shake Nina’s. Amaury’s stomach twisted when he saw his friend touch her, despite the touch being innocent. Was this how he would feel from now on when another male came close to her? Damn, was he in for a rollercoaster ride.
“Nice to meet you, Thomas. I’m Nina.”
He recognized how Thomas inhaled sharply then pinned him with a surprised look. Before his friend could comment on what he’d observed, Amaury continued the conversation.
