Anita watched her father set down his travel bag next to the bed in the guestroom Wesley and Virginia had prepared for him.
“You have your own bathroom through there,” Cooper explained and pointed to a door.
“Thank you. I really appreciate your hospitality.”
“Have a good night.”
“Sleep well, Dad,” Anita added, and walked back into the hallway, while Cooper pulled the door shut.
She slipped her hand into Cooper’s, and motioned him toward the room they’d shared the previous two nights, putting her finger over her lips as a sign to remain quiet. She opened the door, and entered. Cooper followed her and closed the door behind them.
“I don’t have much time,” he murmured and pulled her into his arms. “But I need to hold you in my arms for a few minutes. You being out there, waiting for the killer, scared me. And I hate feeling scared.”
Before she could say anything in return, his lips were on hers, and he kissed her passionately, while he pressed her against the wall. She welcomed his passion and pulled him closer. Within seconds, she was breathless. Reluctantly, she allowed Cooper to take his lips from hers.
“Damn, Anita, you keep this up, and I won’t make it into the office.”
“Me? You started the kiss.”
“Yeah, but you rubbed yourself against me.” He chuckled softly. “I wish I could stay, but I only have enough time for a bottle of blood, and then I have to leave.”
She nodded. “About that.”
“About what?”
“The blood.”
“What about it?”
“I want you to bite me and drink my blood instead of what’s in the bottles.”
She’d made the decision after speaking to Scarlet—or maybe even earlier. Maybe as early as she’d found out that vampires bit their lovers during sex to heighten the pleasure. Scarlet had only confirmed what she’d hoped for. And now that she knew what it was like for a human to be bitten, she couldn’t wait for it to happen.
“Anita…” Cooper’s eyes turned the color of a river of gold. “You want me to taste your blood?”
She nodded. “Yes. Wasn’t that what you hoped for when you arranged for me to talk to Scarlet?”
He ran a hand through his short hair, and Anita noticed that it was trembling. “Yes, but I hadn’t expected you to say yes so quickly… Damn it, Babe.”
He pressed her back against the wall and rubbed his groin to hers. Beneath his pants, she felt the familiar hard outline of his erection, and her breath hitched at the thought of how quickly she could arouse him. It sent a surge of power through her core.
“Just a quick bite, just so I have something to look forward to until you’re back,” she murmured, brushing her hair away from one side of her neck, while tilting it in invitation.
He growled, and the sound went through all her cells, making her tremble with anticipation.
“Not like this.” Cooper shook his head. “When I drink from you for the first time, I want to do it while I make love to you.” He stepped back and pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it on the floor. “Guess my colleagues will have to wait a little longer. I’m sure they can handle things without me for a half hour.”
Anita smiled and pulled her shirt over her head, before she kicked off her shoes. Moments later, they were both naked. She let her eyes roam over Cooper’s perfect form, drinking in his gorgeous physique. His cock stood proudly like a flagpole, and his chest rose with every breath he took. She would never get enough of this sight of an aroused male who looked at her with such desire in his eyes.
Cooper sat down on the bed, his back against the headboard, and pulled her onto him so she straddled him. His hands locked on her hips and with one thrust, he was inside her, the forceful invasion making her gasp loudly. At the same time, she welcomed his cock, loved the way he took her. And while she’d never liked possessive men, it was different with Cooper. She craved his possessiveness.
“No time for foreplay tonight,” he said and sank his lips onto her breasts to lick them.
Anita tossed her head back and arched into his caress, while she followed his hands guiding her hips up and down on his cock. He seemed to be even bigger tonight, and stretched her pussy to its capacity. With every second his tempo increased, and the way he licked and sucked her breasts gave her a preview of what it would be like to feel his bite. Her nipples were hard little pebbles, and her entire body was already covered in a thin sheen of perspiration. Cooper moaned, and his breath ghosted over her flesh, making her shiver with pleasure.
She rode him faster now, taking over the rhythm he’d set. She caressed his nape and ran her fingers up his scalp, feeling him shudder. He released her hips and lifted his head to kiss her, while he kneaded her breasts with both hands. She responded to his kiss, stroking firmly against his tongue, and explored him. Like she’d done once before, she swiped her tongue over his canines, tempting them to come out of hiding.
