“You have a Murphy bed in your office?” She gaped at him in disbelief.

“A necessity in my job. Looking after thirteen hybrids isn’t exactly a nine-to-five job. Sometimes I have to get shuteye whenever I can. So Samson approved having it installed.” He grinned mischievously. “But I’ve never used it for sex before. We could baptize it together. How about it?”

“You can’t be serious! This is your office.”

“I know it’s my office. Samson told me to take a breather. I’m just following orders.”

She pointed to the bed, which had now lowered completely. Clean-looking crisp sheets were stretched over the mattress. “I don’t think Samson meant this when he told you to rest.”

Despite her words, he lowered her onto the mattress and began to undress in front of her. “Trust me, baby, this will give me more energy than many hours of rest.”

“We can’t have sex now! We have to prepare to rescue Hannah. We need to be ready when Ronny gets the call—”

“—which won’t be for at least another hour and a half, maybe two. My team is already taking care of everything. There’s nothing else we can do but wait.” He winked at her. “Let’s kill some time.”

“You’re incorrigible.”

He shrugged. “Another one of my many flaws. I’m sure you’ll get used to it. Now strip, baby!”

Blake was already naked in front of Lilo, as she started peeling her clothes off.

So she thought him possessive? She’d seen nothing yet. She would be just as possessive of him once she was his. And he couldn’t wait for that. Couldn’t wait for her to claim him. But all in good time. First he had to woo her, and show her what it was like to be loved by a vampire.

He watched her undress, feasting his eyes on her as she peeled away layer after layer, until all of her creamy skin was exposed and she lay back on the sheets. She angled one leg and coyly looked up at him from under her long lashes, her hair draped over her shoulders, reaching her rosy nipples. She looked like a pinup girl, and he was determined that only he would see her like this in the future. He just had to play his cards right.

He pinned her with his eyes, then slowly lowered his gaze to his cock, making her follow his look. He was fully erect now, his hard length pumped so full with blood, it was curving toward his navel. His balls had drawn up tight, too.

“Look at what you’re doing to me,” he urged her and wrapped his hand around his hard-on, giving it a quick tug. Pre-cum was already seeping from the tip.

Lilo shifted, propping herself up on her elbows, her breasts jiggling from the sudden motion. “Is that the demonstration of your dominance you were talking about?”

One side of his mouth curled up involuntarily. “Are you trying to mock me?”

“What if I were?”

He crooked his finger. “Sit up. I think you need a little lesson in how to treat your man.”

She pulled her lower lip between her teeth, but sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed. Blake bridged the distance between them with one step, bringing his groin level with her head.

“Now be a good girl and suck me until I tell you to stop.” He nudged his cock at her lips.

Her tongue emerged and she flattened it over the head of his erection. She lifted her eyes to meet his gaze. “Like this?”

“So you’re gonna play innocent now, are you? When we both know what a hot-blooded woman you are.”

Again he nudged against her lips, and they parted on a moan, allowing him in. He eased forward slowly, giving her time to adjust.

“That’s it, Lilo, all of it.” He slid his hands into her hair and massaged her skull gently.

She took him a little deeper, his cock sliding over her tongue.

“Damn, you’re good at this,” he praised and withdrew his hips again just as slowly.

Lilo exhaled and her breath blew over his heated cock, making him shiver with pleasure. “Again,” she murmured and reached for him, wrapping one hand around his root.

He held her head motionless, while he descended once more, sinking into the wet cavern of her mouth. He wanted slow this time, very slow, so he could savor every second of their lovemaking, and prolong their pleasure.

“Look at me,” he ordered.

She lifted her eyes again.

“I’ve never seen a more erotic sight than you with my cock in your mouth.” He couldn’t suppress the moan that was rising from his chest.

She held his gaze and started to move up and down on his erection, wrapping her lips tightly around him, sucking harder than he’d allowed her until now. He felt shudder after shudder race through his body, obliterating any sane thought he might have ever had.

Lilo was turning him into a creature driven only by lust and passion. Nothing else counted. With every second his body heated more, and he knew if he wanted to remain in control, he had to make her stop.

“Enough!” Before it was too late, he stepped back and pulled himself from her mouth.

She looked up at him, her lips in a pout. “You always make me stop just when it starts getting good.”

He chuckled. “Nice try, baby, but I’m the one who’s in charge right now. Maybe some other day I won’t stop you. But for now I have other plans.”

He gave her shoulders a gentle shove so she landed flat on the mattress. He rolled over her, aligning his cock with her center and plunged inside.

“Yessss!” she cried out, arching her back, thus thrusting her breasts at him.

Unable to resist the delicious offering, he dipped his head and captured one nipple between his lips, sucking and licking his tongue over it.

“More!” she demanded, and undulated her hips.

He thrust into her in a steady rhythm, filling her, then withdrawing, while he continued feasting on her breasts, alternately teasing one, then the other, while she writhed beneath him.

She was panting heavily. Her arousal permeated the room, making his nostrils flare and his cock pulse. But he didn’t want to come yet. Taking a deep breath, he slowed his tempo to a more tender rhythm, rocking against her more gently.

“Blake…”

He lifted his head from her breast and gazed at her. Concern jolted through him. “What’s wrong? What do you need, Lilo?”

He noticed her swallow, before her lips parted. “I want you to bite me.”
