Page 150 of Blood Curse

Her smile was merciless. She took me back into her mouth until pleasure gathered too quickly. Bryony knew. She lifted her head and sat up.

My cock lay hard against my stomach.

She released my wrists.

I caught her waist before she moved away.

The shift came without an order. She had let go. I chose to take control.

I stripped the trousers and underwear from her, then drew her back over me. Her knees settled on either side of my hips.

She took my cock in her hand and lowered herself.

She sank slowly onto my cock while I held her hips. When she had taken all of me, she stopped with her palms against my chest.

Her pulse raced.

“Steady?” I asked.

She rolled her hips.

The answer dragged a groan from me.

She lifted and took me deep again. I tightened my hands on her hips and met the next downward stroke.

I sat up and caught her mouth. Bryony wrapped her arms around my shoulders. Her breasts pressed to my chest while I drove up into her, setting a pace that made her breath break against my lips.

She met every thrust.

The bed struck the wall. Somewhere outside the room, a vampire laughed and another told them to mind their own fucking business.

Bryony’s mouth curved against mine.

I thrust harder and stopped her from listening to the room outside.

I moved one hand between us and found her clit. The first circle made her tighten around my cock.

“Stellan.”

My name wasn’t an order. It was pleasure, trust and a warning that she was close.

I kept the pace deep and even while my fingers worked her clit. Her movements lost rhythm.

She came around me with a broken curse against my mouth.

Her pussy clenched hard enough to pull my release from me. I held her against my chest and came deep inside her.

Bryony stayed wrapped around me.

The Crown remained silent.

Our breathing slowed. Her heartbeat didn’t.

I eased us down onto the bed without separating our bodies. Bryony rested her cheek against my chest.

Her fingers traced the inside of my wrist. “Nothing like the Crown?”

“Nothing.”
