David propped his hands behind his head. Hecouldn’t help but smile as Mia prattled off more names ofconstellations and stars. She shed her scarf, boots, and sweater asshe continued to move between each telescope. Her eyes shone abright blue against the black turtleneck she wore, and her skinglowed with vitality as she skipped back to the first telescope.He’d have spent millions of dollars to bring this kind of happinessto her over and over again.
“The Milky Way isright there! Wehave to bring all of these telescopes with us when we go to see theNorthern Lights. Oh, and the Southern Cross! We definitely have tosee the Southern Cross! We have to see the stars fromeverywhere!”
He didn’t know if she was aware that she wastalking about their future, but he was. His heart beat faster, hisfangs elongated, and his dick swelled with his need for her. But hedidn’t interrupt her as she bounced from one telescope to the nextover and over again, exclaiming at each new star or constellationshe found through the eyepiece of each.
CHAPTER 15
The stars were fading from the sky when Miatook a deep breath and finally stepped away from the telescopes togaze out the window. He thought she might have just become aware ofthe ocean sprawled out before her when she tilted her head down togaze at the waves. David stared at her reflection in the glass asshe rested her fingers against it to peer down at the water below.From their new home, she would have her sky, and he would have hissea.
Mia turned and smiled as she took in David’sspread-out form on the bed. Her eyes were drawn to his obviouserection, and her skin prickled with anticipation of what hecraved. “You could have interrupted me,” she told him.
“Your happiness is more important thanmine.”
Tears burned her throat and eyes as hiswords sank in. “I can’t ever thank you enough for this.”
“Watching you enjoy them was more thanthanks enough.”
“Oh really?” she inquired mischievously.“You wouldn’t like something a little more satisfying thanthat?”
“And what do you have in mind?”
She prowled toward him, her hips swayingwith each step she took. The past week had put more weight on her.The undernourished vampire they’d pulled from the warehouse hadvanished, and in her place was a woman with rounded hips andbreasts that would fit his hand perfectly when he was able to cupthem.
Her hands slid down the front of herturtleneck to grip the edge of it. With deliberate, sensuousmovements, she slid it up her belly to her breasts before pullingit over her head. His breath sucked in when she revealed the lacyred bra that exposed more of her breasts than it covered. Thebarely there bra pushed her breasts invitingly high and revealedthe hardened nubs of her nipples. He clearly recalled the bra fromher purchases at the lingerie store, but he’d yet to see it onher.
Slowly her hands slid down to her jeans. Sheundid the button and slipped them down her hips, her thighs, andthen her calves before stepping out of them and kicking them aside.The matching red underwear had silken straps crisscrossing over herhips and around to her taut ass.
His hands clenched behind his head as shestrolled toward him, her hands sliding up to cup her breasts beforeher thumbs rubbed over her nipples. He growled when she knelt onthe bed beside him and swung her leg over so she straddled both ofhis.
“You like it when I touch myself in front ofyou, don’t you?” she inquired as she moved up his body so herbreasts were mere inches away from him.
“I do.”
“Hmm,” she murmured as she gripped the edgeof his sweater and tugged it up over his abs. He lifted his armsabove his head so she could pull it off and toss it aside. Miadrank in the sight of his bare chest and chiseled abs. She’d cometo know every detailed inch of him, yet each time she saw him, hetook her breath away.
Scooting back, she undid his button and slidhis jeans down his muscular legs. The crisp blond hair on his legstickled her fingers as she worked at undressing him. She tossed hisjeans aside and took a minute to just gaze at his naked, masculinebeauty and the proud shaft standing up from his body in eageranticipation of being buried within her.
Slowly, her gaze came back to his. Behindhis lips, she saw the outline of his extended fangs. She could feelhow badly he needed her, yet he’d locked his hands behind his headagain in order to keep from touching her.
Rising to her feet, Mia slid her panties offand tossed them aside before unclasping her bra. There would benothing between them, not tonight. She wouldn’t allow there to be.Climbing back onto the bed, she moved so she straddled his hipsonce more. The head of his cock rubbed against her aching center,but she didn’t take hold of him and guide him into her.
She leaned forward until her breasts brushedhis chest. His breath hissed in, and she nearly jumped out of herskin at the electrifying contact of his flesh against her sensitivenipples, but she didn’t pull away. Instead, she moved closer untilthey were skin to skin, from her breasts to the thighs she pressedagainst his legs.
It was the most skin contact they’d everhad. His eyes searched hers as she inched closer to him until theirbreath intermingled. His eyes remained riveted on her. The musclesin his forearms bulged, beads of sweat dotted his forehead, and amuscle in his jaw twitched as he fought to keep from grabbingher.
Her love for him grew as they stared at eachother, his blue eyes burning into hers. Her breasts rubbed againsthis chest as she slid up to enclose her hands on his wrists. Shegave them a tug, but he kept them locked together.
“If I’m going to control myself, they staywhere they are,” he said.
“Don’t control yourself. I wantyouto touchmenow.”
His body became as still as stone beneathhers. They gazed at each other for a long minute. A minute in whichevery accelerated beat of his heart sounded loudly in her ears. Inwhich she knew he did not breathe.
“Mia?”
“Make love to me, David,” she whispered andtugged at his wrists again.
She felt whatever control he’d beenretaining snap like an elastic band stretched too far. Bracingherself, she waited for him to pounce on her and take from hereverything he’d been denying himself these past weeks. It wouldfrighten her, but she would withstand that fear. She could doanything for him.
