“Easy, Eros. We don’t know what my blood will do to you.”
She pouted up at me. “Both my sides want to bond with you. To do that, I’ll need to bite you.”
I knelt above her, my body rock hard at wanting just that. To feel her fangs sinking deep within me. I knew my own eyes had probably turned red. A glance at my forearms, resting next to her head, showed they were red as well. Yeah, I waited to see how she’d react to the demon half of me.
“How big do you get in your other form?” She ran her hand up my bicep.
A shiver wracked me at the lack of disgust in her voice. “Depends on if I’m in a battle, or just angry. Most times, if I just shift, I am about seven and a half. However, I think closer to eight if in battle. Of course, I haven’t actually measured.” I didn’t tell her I could transform into a monstrous size that would probably scare the shit out of her.
She licked her bottom lip. “Are we done talking now?”
“You still want to be with me,” I asked gruffly.
“More than anything. I’ll try to keep my fangs to myself,” she said with an impish grin.
I laughed. “One day you can sink them into me, anywhere, anytime.”
Her deep inhale made her breasts brush against my chest. The time for talking had passed. “You smell so good, Creed. Even when I first saw you, I wanted to lick you.”
Raina’s arms came up and pulled my head down. She nuzzled my neck, growling as she did, making my spine tingle. “Fuck, that is sexy as hell. I scented you as well. I would have ripped the arms off of anyone who dared touch you. Now, how about this shirt disappearing?”
I sat back on my heels, considering using my powers, then discarded the notion. One by one, I popped the buttons open. Her creamy flesh appeared even smoother next to mine, makingme aware of our differences. With effort, I pushed my demon side back. The need to be careful so as not to hurt her beat at me.
“You can’t hurt me.” She echoed my thoughts.
“Are you reading me?” I asked, opening the last button on the shirt.
There was a moment of hesitation before she answered. “I think we are still connected. Can’t you see what I think and feel?”
I stopped and looked inside her mind. Wonder filled me as I realized she’d been open all this time, while I’d been more concerned with what she’d think of my long life and past. My brief pause clearly worried her about what I had read in her memories, and I rushed to reassure her.
“Mon Eros, I want you now like none other. I don’t know if I’m worthy. No, scratch that. I know I’m not, but I’m not noble enough to let you go. If you want out, say so now, and you’ll have a fighting chance to be free.” I released the ends of the shirt and held my hands out to the side. “Make the decision quickly, though, because once I make love to you, I will never let you go. Bond or not. You are mine. Do you understand?”
She chewed her bottom lip. “Creed, do you understand that there is only one Hearts Love for my people?” I raised my brows and waited. “What that means is, you are it for me, silly man.” She pressed her tiny hand over my heart, making it skip a beat, then speed up. “There is no turning back, unless you don’t want me. In here, what do you feel? Do you not feel the same? Don’t ask me to go, please.” Tears shimmered in her eyes.
It was my turn to growl. “Never. I’m never letting you go. I clearly didn’t do a good job of letting you know, with words, how much you mean to me. How about I show you instead?”
“Normally, I’d say words are better, but by all means.” She nodded.
With a chuckle, I laced our fingers together and moved back over her body. “You are too precious for words.” My kind alsoclaimed their mates by marking them, combining their essences through a bite. It took supreme effort for me to make my other half understand we would soon claim Raina. She was our Chosen, regardless of whether we could never claim her fully.
“Look at me,” I ordered. Once she made eye contact, I bent and kissed her. Then, releasing her hands, I slowly slid one hand down her stomach while she wrapped her arms around my neck. Our tongues slid together in a dance of their own while my fingers found her wet and warm. I parted her legs with my own, then delved my hand between her thighs. She canted her hips in welcome, making me chuckle. I rubbed her clit before stroking farther down to her entrance, pushing inside. With each pass, I gathered more of her cream and spread it over her clit, sweeping and circling it, then going back to her entrance and doing it again. She trembled the faster I moved my fingers, while I never stayed long at either place, prolonging her pleasure.
She gripped my hair, pulling her mouth away from mine. “Please, Creed.”
“Please what, Eros?” I licked her neck, flicking my nail against her clit faster.
“Do you want me to do that?”
“Oh, yes. Yes, that.” She tilted her hips up.
“Or do you want me to fuck you with my fingers?” I pushed two digits deep, then added a third. She was so tight, her inner walls squeezing me.
“That, too. Everything.”
Pushing my fingers inside her, I rubbed my palm against her clit and worked her to a hard, fast orgasm. It was all I could do to keep from sinking my teeth into her exposed flesh as she wrapped her strong arms around me and pulled me to her. She shuddered, moaning as the mini contractions still shook her, and I continued to work my fingers in and out of her.
Her arousal coated my fingers when I pulled them out. I sat back and licked, taking her flavor into my mouth. “I need to be in you. Are you sure?”
