“Faster,” she moaned. “Harder.”
“You don’t need that, you need me.”
I drove down, letting my fangs break through her skin with just enough bite to have her sucking in air. Venom oozed from my fangs and her response to the potency of my poison was automatic. Screams tore from her throat and her back tried to bow under my weight.
Sweet blood pooled into my mouth, hardening my cock so much that it ached with the most pleasurable agony. The screams were still coming as her body spasmed through the waves of release. I soaked them into my brain, nestling them in securely for the future. I wanted to remember everything about this moment. Our moment.
“So strong,” she breathed out. “So … good.”
A smile wanted to come. Instead, I let a little more flow from me. She clawed across my back, moving wildly beneath me.
“Oh yes. Yes.”
My thrusts increased and within seconds she was screaming and thrashing through the orgasm again. I broke away, licking over her neck as I pushed the top half of my body up. I grabbed her ankles widening her legs so I could watch where we were joined. My pulse thumped hard in my chest and I couldn’t breathe through the sight.
Too many dreams. Too many fantasies. But this was real. My plan concerning Tessa’s part had really worked. I had her, and Marko was out of the picture for good.
My eyes shot up to hers. Her lids were heavy from passion and her full lips were separated as she took deep breaths from her mouth.
“So beautiful. You love me, yes? Tell me, ma minette. Let me hear you say it.”
Dark lashes fluttered as her arms lifted to press on the headboard. Her back arched and I groaned loudly as she pushed down to sink to the base of my cock.
“I love you.” Her hips rotated while I kept still, watching her fuck me. Watching her use the sway of her hips to guide her pussy up and down my length. “I love you,” she repeated again, circling her hips again. “I love you.”
Faster, she moved, pushing from the headboard with ever rotation. And me … I was frozen with captivation. With this new love I was drowning in. Even I couldn’t have imagined this. It left me wanting to do something for her. Something so grand that it forced her to love me more.
“I want to taste you. I want us to be bonded again. You are missing from me. I can’t bear it any longer, Marko.”
The pain that swept over her face didn’t compare to the sudden shattering of my own. Bond. Yes, to be truly bonded. Then we’d be in love forever. She’d be mine for real.
But it was impossible. I was tied to Marko. Her blood wasn’t strong enough to overpower his. Especially now that he’d strengthen from our connection. The longer he and I were linked, the more we were doomed to stay that way.
I leaned forward, trying not to be hesitant as I lowered my weight back over her. Our special time was about to be ruined. She’d taste how much Aetas’ blood had taken over Marko’s. Or that’s what she would assume since she was really tasting me to begin with. Still, I dreaded what was about to happen. We wouldn’t tie, and she’d be devastated all over again. And me, I’d be upset as well.
Tessa’s hands on my neck drew me down for a kiss. The soft brush of her lips had my lids lowering with longing.
“Your turn to tell me that you love me.”
I met her eyes, caught unaware as I detected suspicion within her depths.
“I love you,” I breathed out. “I do love you,” I assured.
“I believe you. “ She drew me down again, adding more pressure this time with her kiss. When she worked her way across my cheek and ran her tongue over my neck, I relaxed and waited for her bite, but it didn’t come. “That’s why I am going to ask this of you, my love” she whispered in my ear. “Bring our people back to headquarters. Stop the war now and let us go back into hiding. Make the humans forget about us. You can do it. I know you can.”
Fangs sung into my neck painfully and I winced as I locked up on top of her. Did she know? Did Tessa suspect?
The draws on my vein were slow—calculated. As if she were reading and studying everything there was about what made up my blood. The need to growl, to stop her because of my guilt was there, but she’d only be more suspicious if I did. Instead, I slammed my cock into her. Once I started, I didn’t stop. Her poison was stronger than I expected. It was growing and it egged me on, causing me to pound into her with brute force. She broke from my neck gasping and I took the opportunity to crush into her mouth. She didn’t know the truth, and even if she did suspect, I would win her over. She would love me in the end. I knew she would, because I was Marko, and deep down, I knew that’s where her heart was.
Chapter 20
Tessa
Sweat dripped down my face as I gathered my powers and projected it toward the shield Marko held up across the room. We’d been going at it for hours now, and not just the lessons. We had literally been arguing the entire time.
He refused to bring our people back. He said we were okay. That the fighting between us and the humans would calm now that they’d had their victory. He told me to trust him. Trust him. I trusted no one anymore. I would show him what was expected of me. I would play the game of loving queen trying to mend her broken ties with her mate. But inside, I was seething. Impatient and enraged at his decision.
“Again.”
