“You’re okay with this?”
I’m curious as to why he is asking, but I don’t question.
“I can’t guarantee our future, Serena.”
Neither can I.
He tucks a hair behind my ear, and the feel of his touch makes me shiver. It’s so quiet. I can hear his every breath as it vibrates through him.
“Let’s enjoy every moment together until it’s our last, if that is what’s to become of us.”
“Well, it’s not yet decided now, is it?” He lifts my chin so that my eyes connect with his. I shake my head, grateful that he is willing. I know why I’m here, what I have come to do, but my feelings and emotions are so strong right now, I just want to be with him until I can’t. It’s that simple. His hand slides down the length of my hair as his eyes gaze into mine. His expression is tender and longing.
“No, it hasn’t.” My words are an invitation. They sound so reverent, they could be a prayer. They sound so honest, they could be true.
His fingers trail my lips, outlining the shape of my mouth. He bends down slightly, and his lips brush against my cheek lightly. A shiver runs through my whole body, making me tremble. He brushes his mouth against my temple, then traces the line of my jawbone. He’s tender in his touch, and he’s driving me mad. The aching anticipation for his kiss is suddenly too much. I reach up and pull his mouth to mine.
He kisses me gently, carefully, but it’s not what I want. Not when our future is so undecided. I knot my hands in his hair and pull him closer. He groans softly, low in his throat, and his arms encircle me, gathering me against him. His skin is hot and inviting, and I revel in the feel.
All that exists now is Claus. I run my fingers along his arm, soft skin over lean muscle, and find a scar like a thick line on his bicep. It’s an imperfection that seems to make him even more desirable. “How did you get this scar?”
“Kai.”
I step back. “Kai?”
“Yes, we were dueling, for practice. and he accidently scratched me.
Accidently? I doubt it.
I kiss the scar and trail kisses from his bicep to his neck. He growls and fumbles to push my hair aside. I’ve never seen his hand unsteady before. He nuzzles my ear and then kisses it, growling lowly. I trail my nose across his jaw, inhaling his clean, primal smell. He releases a pent-up breath; the sound is music to my ears.He’s letting his guard down, Lilith reminds me.
My pulse quickens into a fast beat, and my breath becomes heavy. I caress his cheek and kiss his neck. He moans. Or was that me? When we are like this, we become one vampire. I almost forgot what it felt like when we were truly together like this. We share every heartbeat, every breath. It feels as if the universe disappears, and all that remains is the two of us, holding each other close.
“I forgot how good this could be,” he says as he takes a step back from me.
“It was never this good.” I step forward and kiss him. “This is better.” I take a deep breath and say, “And I never want it to end.”Now is your chance to pounce, Serena. Are you strong enough to take it?Lilith checks me, and it makes me pause.
What do I want?I’m torn. I want him inside me, taking from me all that he can, but on the other hand, I want to kill him and take my empire back.
I think this through and allow my libido to take over. There will be plenty of time to take the empire back. This, right here, right now, feels right. I know it, and I am sure this is just another step on drawing him in. Before I could think or say another word, Claus captures my lips in a kiss so fierce and full of longing that it takes my breath away.Yes, I want this and let the consequences be damned.
“Fuck me, Claus!” I demand. I grab his face and kiss him back. I reach down and caress his rigid cock and guide it to my entrance. He pushes me against the wall, and as my back hits, his cock pushes inside me. We both growl in unison as he pushes deeper and deeper, thrusting in and out like a wild beast who has just been set free.
He pushes against my G-spot, his cock throbbing inside of me. I can’t help the mews that escape. “Serena, please, you must be quiet. You are going to make me come faster than I want to.”
I clench my pussy around him, and he shudders.
“Don’t do that,” he says in warning.
“You have the power, Claus. Take it and make me come.” My words bring a fierceness across his face that is utterly primal and raw. His determination to take what he can starts to show through as his thrusts become more demanding, hitting the perfect spot every time. I have never felt anything like this before. I am on the edge.
The quickening starts, and I am ready. “Claus, come!” I demand. My entire body feels like it is on fire with passion. My orgasm intensifies as Claus comes deep inside me. My pussy throbs, and the feel of his warm cum inside me is utterly electrifying. He continues thrusting as his cum fills me. When he stops, he carries me to the bed. I’m placed down first, then he lays next to me, both of us panting and smiling.
