His eyes closed without his doing, and his body delighted in her taste and the texture of her flesh. Her moan sounded in his ears and confirmed that he gave her what she wanted. Eager to please her, he licked and sucked her beautiful breast, while his hands busied themselves to free her from the garment. When he’d finally opened the clasp, he tossed the bra aside.

He switched to her other breast, paying the same attention to it as to the first. His hands now free, Cain squeezed her breasts in concert with his sucking motions, and earned more moans and sighs for his efforts.

Faye’s back arched off the bed as she thrust her voluptuous bosom deeper into his mouth, demanding he suck harder.

The temptation to do more than just lick her was too strong to resist. He allowed his fangs to scrape against her warm flesh and felt her shiver from the contact.

“Yes!” she cried out, her voice a symphony of passion and need.

The vampire inside him responded to it with a growl.

“Screw it,” he cursed, releasing her breast. He couldn’t wait. He’d wanted to, but he had no control over the beast inside him that demanded his mate. “I’m sorry, Faye, I need you now.”

Their eyes met when she looked down at him. “What took you so long?”

With one jerky movement he rid himself of his boxer briefs then reached for her panties. The thin fabric ripped instantly though he barely touched it. Maybe the fact that his hands had turned into claws had something to do with that.

With all barriers gone, he adjusted his cock, bringing its tip to Faye’s quivering slit, and plunged into her. Her heat imprisoned him instantly, robbing him of his breath. Her legs wrapped around him, her ankles locking him into a tight vise, making escape impossible. She’d imprisoned him. And he couldn’t imagine a more heavenly prison to find himself in.

Cain undulated his hips and began to slide in and out of her inviting body. This was where he belonged. Just like in his dreams, he could sense their connection, the love they shared; only now it was real. She was real.

“I’ll always love you, Faye,” he murmured, gazing into her green eyes that had already started to change color.

With every second that their bodies moved in synch with each other, her irises turned from a vibrant green to a deep orange, to a glowing red. She was all vampire now, her primal needs at their height.

“Show them to me,” he demanded, and gazed at Faye’s lips as they parted.

Razor-sharp fangs peeked from her upper gums. The sight sent a jolt of desire through him, making his cock jerk impatiently. His eyes shifted, homing in on the vein that pulsed at her neck. He felt his fangs itch more urgently now, eager to drive into her flesh.

Sucking in a steadying breath, he locked eyes with her once more. “You’re mine.” No sooner had the words left his lips, did he press his mouth onto her neck and pierce her soft skin with his fangs.

Beneath him, Faye arched into him, rubbing her body against his.

Her sweet blood spread on his tongue and ran down the back of his throat. He swallowed greedily, taking her essence into him. Then he felt her lips on his shoulder, just below where it connected to his neck. At the contact, a shudder charged through his entire body. Then her fangs touched his skin, and inside him the fire raged more violently.

Trembling with need, he waited for her fangs to finally pierce his skin. When they lodged in his flesh and he felt her drawing from his vein, pleasure shot through his blood vessels and drove more blood to his cock. It hardened more than it seemed possible, and the tempo of its relentless movements quickened.

Perspiration now covered his skin, making him slide even more smoothly against her. Faye’s breathing too had accelerated, and her sighs and moans became more pronounced, just as her movements turned more demanding.

Yes, he loved this woman, loved her with every fiber of his being. And as he took more and more of her blood into him, just as she took his blood, he could sense the changes happening in their bodies. He could feel the vines of love wrap around them to bind them together, to make them one. Their hearts now drummed with the same beat, their breaths filled their lungs with unerring synchrony. And farther below, where they were joined by his cock inside her, another heartbeat drummed steadily, driving them higher with every second.

Cain swallowed down Faye’s intoxicating blood and let himself go. A wave of pleasure washed over him, catapulting him to a place where only love and ecstasy existed. Faye’s body spasmed at the same time, her pussy gripping him tightly and milking every last drop of semen from him.

His orgasm was more powerful than he’d ever experienced before, but something else was even more amazing. He could sense her now. He was in her mind, in her thoughts, in her heart. Warmth wrapped around him, protecting him like a soft cocoon, just like he was protecting her. They were one, free to share their love, their thoughts, and their hearts with each other.
