I ran my hand down his chest, toward his stomach and his abs jumped beneath my touch. Lifting my gaze to his own, I breathed, “You’re beautiful, Rowan.”
He shook his head. “That’s my line.”
Rowan squeezed my nipple and I gasped. “Do that again.”
“In due time.”
Okay, so he wanted to play with me. That was fine. “I have to wait until you want to?”
“Yes. I have many plans for you, Maci. Trust me.”
Right then, I would. I couldn’t promise I would under other circumstances. He pressed a finger inside of me and I moaned. My body was alive, every nerve ending wanting more. His touch. His tongue. His body. Whatever. I just wanted it.Right now.
“I thought my interest in sex died with my human body, but you make me burn, Maci. The way you smell, the way you move? Maybe your blood triggered it, but this is more than blood. It’s you, damn it. And I’m going to be addicted to you every day until the day you depart this earth.”
I shook my head. “No death talk during sex.”
His smile grew huge. “Okay. That’s a deal.”
I loved the electrical shocks of pleasure emanating from his finger circling my clit until I ground against him, but it wasn’t how I wanted to come. Not at all.
“Just fuck me.” I used the dirty word on purpose. Maybe I wanted to shock the leader of the vampires, to make him think I was a very bad girl. After all, he wasn’t the only one who’d been reborn lately.
I didn’t give him enough time to answer, just climbed on top of him until I could fit his cock inside of me. He groaned, throwing his head back, his nostrils flaring. Yes, I had him right where I wanted him. For the next few moments, his pleasure would be mine, and I’d have my own, too. I’d never been so lucky.
Riding him was hard in the car, because we could hardly move, but I managed to grind my clit against him with a desperation I’d never felt before. I didn’t justwantto come, Icravedit. Fuck, I needed it.Right now.
He pulled on my hair hard, and I smiled through the bite of pain. I wanted to hurt him a little bit, too. Since he’d given me permission, I dug my fingernails into his chest.
“Yes,” his voice was low. “This is just how I need you.”
We didn’t speak more than that, not in any discernible language. My body throbbed, it begged, and finally it exploded around him. His fangs extended, and we stared at each other. Was he going to feed?
Rowan didn’t move. Finally, I said something. “Fuck. Did you want to?”
“Only if it’s okay with you.” The red flared in his eye. Vampires, particularly powerful ones, didn’t ask permission to feed. It must have taken a lot out of him to say those words.
I nodded. “You always have my permission.”
“Good to know.” He bit down on my neck, lower than where Caesar usually bit me, as though they all claimed their spaces on my body without needing to discuss it. I closed my eyes. His cock, which had already been hard inside of me, somehow became more so as he sucked.
I moaned, and he squeezed me tighter against him. The anger of our joining fled and what was left was only tenderness. Or at least that’s how it felt to me. His hands stroked up and down my back, slow motions, as the feeding progressed. I hadn’t felt his hunger, not like I did the others usually, but now I could. He was starved.
His hips jerked, bringing us both back to where we had been before. We weren’t finished and I loved it. This time, the pump of our hips moved slow and fluid, almost in time with how his mouth sucked on my neck. Warmth stole my thoughts, and I floated toward pleasure that his body easily brought to my own once again.
Finally, he let go, licking my wound closed. I’d been so solely focused on Rowan, there hadn’t even been room for anything else, but as we sat in the fogged up car, with my head pressed against his chest because I just couldn’t hold it up anymore, with my eyes slitted to only let a little bit of reality in… I could feel the others.
Their needs floated toward me. I usually couldn’t block them out. Did they all just wake up or had Rowan’s presence and the tension between us somehow blocked them out temporarily?So many questions and never any answers.
Rowan nuzzled where he’d bit me. “You okay? I didn’t take too much, right?”
I ran my hand through his hair, more instinctively than with any conscious thought. “Doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore. It’s as though, with every feeding, I get better at it.”
“Makes so little sense.” He kissed my shoulder. “Can we stay like this?”
“Naked in the car? No. For one thing, I have work tomorrow. The next thing is that…”
I never got to finish my thought, because a knock on the window made me jump. Rowan didn’t react at all. He must have known Tanner was about to arrive. I laughed. “It’s like he read my mind. I need to feed Tanner. He can’t talk until I do every day.”
