Aida couldn’t get her eyebrows out of herhairline as her gaze ran over his magnificent face and body. She’dseen the way women reacted to him and knew vampires possessed aninnate magnetism that lured others to them. He easily could havehaddozensof women in every country.
“How is that possible?” she blurted.
He smiled as he stroked her cheek with histhumb. “Before you, girls interested me, but they weren’t somethingI was overly concerned about. I much preferred to be on mycomputer, practicing my hacking skills and coding. After you, therecould never be anyone else.”
Aida’s breath exploded out of her as tearsburned her eyes.
“How is it possibleyou’restill avirgin?” he asked.
“Because before you, boys were playthings Ididn’t get serious with, and after you…” She rested her handagainst his cheek and ran her thumb over his bristly beard. “Afteryou, there was still justyou.”
Julian closed his eyes as anguish tore at hischest. “I could have had all those years with you if I stayed. Iwon’t waste any of our time together again.”
There was something more to what this wasbetween them, but before she could grasp what it was, he kissed heragain, and she stopped caring. Her thighs released their crushinggrip on him as his kiss eased her apprehension. He’d been waitingall this time forher,and she’d been waiting for him; nowthat the time was here, she was going to seize it.
“Are you sure about this?” he whisperedagainst her mouth.
“Yes, and I’m on the pill.” She startedtaking it when she was sixteen to help with her acne, but shestayed on it just in case. “But I’m not sure if it will work withvampires.”
He smiled as he kissed the tip of her nose.“It’s for your body, not mine.”
When he grasped his cock to guide it intoher, the excitement pounding through him had him worried he’d blowthis. He was going to be inside his mate, inside Aida, the onlywoman he’d ever loved. He feared he would come as soon as he wasinside her. Gritting his teeth, he focused on baseball while heentered her.
There were diamonds in baseball and a fieldand players. What did the players do? They chased the ball. No,they…
Oh, who cared? Baseball had nothing on thewet heat enveloping him as he slid deeper into her.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, Aidalifted her hips as he stretched and filled her. The sensationwasn’t as pleasant as it had been, but her body was adjusting tothe size of him. His muscles shifted beneath her hands as sheturned to bury her face in his shoulder. His delicious aromaenveloping her helped to relax her further.
“I love you,” he said as he kissed her againand buried himself deep inside her.
Aida’s legs clenched around him when painrose to replace the haze of euphoria enveloping her. She closed hereyes against the tears filling them and bit her lip to keep fromtelling him to get off her. It would fade, she knew it would; shehad to let her body adjust to his.
Julian pulled back to gaze down at her. Hehated the pain he caused her, especially since all he felt wasecstasy. He’d spent years fantasizing about being inside her, butit was so much better than all his fantasies.
It took everything he had not to startthrusting into her and finally experience what he’d only dreamed ofdoing. However, if she were going to get any pleasure from this, hehad to wait for her to be ready, and he would make sure she enjoyedit too.
Over the years, he read countless romancenovels in the hopes that if he ever got the chance to be with her,he wouldn’t make a complete mess of it, but it might not beenough.
He’d also tried watching porn in the hopes oflearning what to do and not to do. It didn’t take him long torealize Aida probably wasn’t going to need her pipes cleaned or herphotocopier repaired, so he stopped watching it.
But the romance novelshadhelped himunderstand women and their bodies better, or so he hoped. He maynot be a billionaire, but he was a vampire, so that was a plus forhim. He kissed her again before caressing her breasts and strokingher side down to her hip.
He was doing something right as her legseased their death grip on him. When she lifted her hips to himagain, he slowly pulled back before slipping into her again. Heshuddered when he buried himself deep inside her once more.
Her fingers dug into his back as his mouthteased hers. With every caress of his hands and mouth, thediscomfort ebbed further. A delicious shiver ran down her spine asshe nipped his lip.
When her head fell back, he bent to suck oneof her nipples between his lips. He sucked on it before releasingit to turn his attention to her other breast before rising to kneelbetween her thighs. He grasped her ass and lifted it. He nevercould have imagined anything this amazing, and now that he wasexperiencing it, he would tear this world apart before he ever lether go again.
Aida couldn’t get enough of Julian’smagnificent body as it moved over hers. Her hands slid over thesupple skin drawn taut over muscles so firm they could have beencarved from stone. He was magnificent, and he was hers. She was theonly one who’d ever seen him like this, the only who knew what itwas like to have this powerful man inside her, and she reveled inthe knowledge.
When her gaze fell to where their bodies met,excitement built in her. He was a part of her; they were joined,and it was an irrevocable joining. The building tension inside hercoiled tighter as she neared the edge she experienced every timeshe pleasured herself, but this time, it was different. This timeit was stronger and more unrelenting as he pushed her closer to theprecipice.
And this time, when she went over, nothingwould ever be the same.
She bit her lip to keep from crying out whenshe fell over the edge. Her toes curled, and her body arched as shewas bombarded by the waves of ecstasy shaking her.
When her body bowed beneath his and the tightmuscles of her sheath clenched around his dick, Julian gave onefinal thrust and came harder than he ever had by himself. When hisrelease finally came to an end, he held himself back fromcollapsing on top of her as he gathered her into his arms androlled to the side.
