“Please,” she said again.
Luke was quiet for a moment before he whispered. “Why?”
“Because I want to be as strong as you. I want to be able to protect you, and I-Ineedit.” She rocked her hips, drawing a moan from both of them.
His lips latched onto her ear as he slowly rolled his hips, thrusting inside of her. “Tell me why you need it, sunflower.”
“Because Icraveyou!” She hissed as he bit her ear, the words tumbling out of her. “I need to be full of you, I need to always have you in me. I need you,please!”
“Oh fuck,” he said moaned as he held her hips and rammed inside of her hard.
She let out a cry, but frustration built in her when he didn’t do it again.
“Grab the knife to your right,” he said, his lips brushing her skin with every word.
Even in her shock she found herself listening, reaching for the blade, excitement coursing through her veins.
“You’ll have to cut me here,” he said, tracing the artery of his neck.
“Will it hurt you?”
“No, I’ll be fine. But you have to understand that this will change you. You’ll be faster, stronger,hungrierfor years until you learn how to control yourself.”
“I understand. Can I now, please?” Johanna asked, scared that he’d change his mind if she asked any more questions.
“Yes, whenever you’d like—Ah!”
And then she was sucking at his skin, drinking his blood. The first gulp was acidic, fatty, but as she gulped down more she began to notice something else, flavors that she shouldn’t be able to taste. Then Luke started ramming into her uncontrollably and she couldn’t stop. She held him, grasping him to her as close as possible while he made her mindless in her pleasure against the refrigerator.
Johanna lifted her head and cried out as he claimed the very essence of who she was. Her veins felt as though they’d expanded, shooting fire and lightning through her body. She wanted more. Her lips found Luke’s neck again and her teeth, now pointed, dug into his skin, ready to feast. She didn’t have time for shock or confusion, she was too desperate, toocrazedfor him.
He cried out, bucking inside of her like a wild beast, and she took him and drank from him, her moans muffled against his skin. Luke buckled, sliding down to the floor, then his hand weaved into her hair and he pulled her back. His lips found her neck, teeth sliding in as he fed on her blood. She screamed, writhing, jerking, pushing, and pulling against him as her orgasm coasted through her veins.
And then shefelthis, felt each trail of come as it shot inside of her, felt the way her pussy spasmed around him in both her pleasure and his. Testing the new sensation, she scratched her nails down his back and felt as if he’d done the same thing to her. Immediately, Luke was hard, and just as quickly he pounded into her, pushing her into the floor with his body. Their linked pleasure was too much, and they came together soon after, and again, and again, and again, losing track of time, their surroundings, everything except one another.
CHAPTER 17
Luke ran his fingers though her hair and they both let out a soft sigh.
Johanna snuggled more into his chest, her fingertips gently stroking his shoulder. “Remind me why you have to go again,” she murmured, tickling his skin with her lips.
He chuckled. “Because, my dear, sweet sunflower, you’re a vampire now, and The Council likes to keep track of newly turned vampires.”
She hummed. “That sounds like something that could be easily taken care of with a phone call.”
Luke let out a bark of laughter and held her closer to him. “Is this your way of saying you’ll miss me?”
Johanna’s lips curved into a smile against his neck before she lifted her head and kissed him sweetly. “No, that’s my way of saying I’ll miss you.” She ran her fingers through his hair, tousling it. “Why do you have to go, really?”
“Greg already petitioned for our mate bond with The Council. By going, I’ll be reinforcing that by letting them know that you’ve been turned, while also taking care of a couple of other things.”
She hummed again. “Why did he have to petition for us?”
Luke sighed. “The Council cannot interfere with a mate bond pair, if that’s what you’re asking. But if a vampire loses their mate, it can be catastrophic for the rest of our species. It’s the same for the other immortals. There have been cases of immortals going on killing sprees, abusing their powers, turning people against their will. The loss utterly destroys them, and at that stage they have nothing to lose.
“When Greg goes to petition for a mate bond or mated couple, he agrees to be held responsible for any incidents their mate bond may cause. If one of the mated pair is in danger, Greg will help to get them out. If one of the mated pair dies, Greg will be there to assist and take care of the surviving mate. But if one of the mated pair decided tomorrow to wage war on the world, Greg will be the person who cleans up the mess, and also who The Council will blame.”
Johanna gasped. “That’s horrible! That shouldn’t be completely on him.”
