Resting her hands on his knees, her fingersmoved over his thighs. Her hands were so nimble against his fleshthat they barely touched him, yet her grazing caress had him on theverge of coming. Her fingers skimmed over his shaft before she bentforward to run her tongue over the head, licking away the bead ofpre-cum there.
David tore deeper into the comforter,spilling more stuffing around him as he restrained himself fromslipping his hand around the back of her head and clasping her tohim. Her eyes lifted to him, a knowing smile curving her lipsbefore she slid her mouth down his shaft, taking him deeper.
“Fuck!” he groaned as her hand and mouthworked him. And what a mouth it was. Deliciously hot and wet as sheswirled her tongue over and around him, driving him closer andcloser to the brink of release. Her eyes never left his as sheworked him, the erotic sight of her nearly his undoing.
Mia had never known it was possible to be soaroused without ever being touched, but she’d never experiencedanything as sexy as David with his legs spread around her and sweatglistening over his body. She moaned as her nipples hardened inresponse to his obvious arousal.
“If you don’t stop, I’m going to come,” hegrated from between his teeth, his fangs barely visible behind hislips.
Mia’s hand clasped more firmly around histhick shaft, letting him know that was what she wanted him to do.Never before had she brought a man to completion this way; she’dnever wanted to, but she did now. Rising a little higher, she kepther eyes on his as she worked him faster, relishing in the saltytaste of him and the silken skin stretched over his rigid length.She slid her tongue down the thick vein running through his cock,causing him to groan in response.
Her fingers didn’t meet as she held him, andshe couldn’t take him all the way into her mouth, but it didn’tseem to matter as his hips rose and fell in rhythm with hersucking. His head fell back, the muscles in his neck stood out as ashout vibrated his chest and the hot rush of his release filled hermouth.
Mia took all of him into her before runningher tongue around him once more and reluctantly releasing him.White stuffing from the comforter fell around her and onto thefloor when David’s head tipped back down to look at her. Thesavagery on his face robbed her of her breath.
She’d believed he would be more relaxedafter finding his release, but he appeared coiled tighter than hehad been before. On his face and in his eyes, she saw the absolutetruth.
There was no going back.
CHAPTER 9
“Now you,” David growled.
Mia struggled to breathe while he continuedto watch her as a hunter watched its prey. The hunger on his face,a hunger so similar and yet so different than those of the vampireswho had drank from her in the warehouse, should have frightenedher. She knew he not only wanted her body, but also her blood.Instead, she found herself becoming more stimulated by therealization. All of her clothes felt too abrasive as they rubbedagainst her hypersensitive skin.
“Now me,” she murmured.
“Let me see you.Allof you.”
A thrill went through her at his commandingtone. With any other man, she would have flipped him the bird forthinking he could order her around in such a way. She would havewalked out the door. Now she found her hands going to the edge ofher sweater and sliding it up to bare her midriff before exposingher bra.
David’s hands jerked forward, rending thecomforter further while he watched Mia’s slow, provocativemovements. He took in her pale skin, round hips, and ribcage beforeshe uncovered the bottom of her bra. It was simple and white, yethe found that bra to be one of the most alluring things he’d everseen.
Ruby-colored eyes met Mia’s when she tossedher sweater onto the floor and rose to stand before him. She’dnever felt more desired or powerful in her life as his rapt gazewatched while she glided her hands down her belly until she reachedthe button of her jeans. She undid it and slid them slowly down herlegs. With her toes, she kicked aside her jeans to stand before himin nothing but her bra and panties.
David’s gaze ran over her slender body,drinking in every inch of her. Still thin from her captivity, theoutline of her ribs was barely visible beneath her ivory skin. Theonly marks on her were the darker patches of skin on her upperthighs. There, her skin was not a creamy porcelain, but puckeredand a deep pink from the burns she’d sustained in the fire.
His hands jerked again, not because hewanted to grab her and drive himself into her but because he wantedto pull her close and hold her to him. To embrace her while hetried to shelter her from the horrors of her past. He could havelost her in that fire.
Mia held her breath as David stared at herscars. When she’d first been burned, she’d been ashamed of them.Ashamed that she’d failed her parents, that she’d survived whenthey hadn’t. She’d found them revolting. Now they were a mark ofeverything she had survived. They were a mark of who she was.
Some men had been repulsed by her scars,others had barely noticed them in their rush to screw her, but nonehad ever asked about them. David didn’t have to ask; he alreadyknew. When he lifted his eyes to meet hers, she didn’t know what toexpect to see there, but it certainly wasn’t the pride blazing fromhim. That pride caused a lump in her throat and made her long toplease him even more.
“You’re beautiful,” he told her.
The truth she heard in those words left herspeechless. She was a little too thin right now, but she was stillaware that she was far from ugly. However, she’d never feltbeautiful before. She did now.
A smile tugged at the corners of his lipsbefore he leaned subtly forward. “Now off with the bra,” heordered.
Mia quirked an eyebrow at him, but she didas he asked and unhooked her bra before tossing it aside. His eyeslatched onto her bared breasts and her enticing pale pink nipples.He’d give anything to be able to touch them, to draw one of thosebuds into his mouth and nip at it before swirling his tongue aroundit.
“What would you do if you were touching me?”she asked.
His eyes snapped up to hers, his erectionsurged back to life as his heart thudded in his chest. “If I tellyou, will you do it?”
Mia swallowed heavily. “Yes,” she croakedout.
David ran his tongue over his fangs whenthey throbbed almost as badly as his dick did. “I’d run my handsover your breasts,” he told her. “Taking them within my palms as Ifondled them.”
