Dark Legacy
Page 47He allowed his heavy cock to slide from her body and she wanted to protest. He filled her body the way he filled her heart. Without him, she felt empty and alone.
“Never alone, Emeline. Never again. You are in my mind, the way I’m in yours. Whenever you have need of me, in any way, even if it is just to touch me lightly, to know I’m always here, you have the capacity to do so.”
“I drank blood. It was the most beautiful, erotic thing I’ve ever done.” The confession slipped out of her, her darkest shame. Her gaze slipped from his because she couldn’t let anyone see what was in her soul, how she wanted to repeat the experience over and over. The craving was there. The insatiable hunger.
“Look at me, sívamet.”
His voice was so gentle it turned her heart over. How did he manage that particular tone? It didn’t just sound that way to her ears, his voice caressed her skin, moved over her body, inflaming her senses. She loved the way he sounded. She wished his cock was still in her, stretching and burning and bringing that intense fire.
“I don’t think I can.”
“You need to breathe and I’m heavy. I’m going to sit up and put you on my lap.” Even as he said it, he didn’t give her a chance to protest. She worried about their combined cream spilling out of her body, ruining the couch, but it was gone as he lifted her and put her on his lap. She was naked in his arms, and she felt more exposed and vulnerable in her mind and heart than with her body unclothed.
“Now, Emeline, look at me.”
This time his gentle voice included that note of command. Sometimes, when she heard it, like now, she wanted to disobey just to see what he would do.
The notes of joy and happiness in his voice allowed her to look at him. She couldn’t help smiling. It didn’t matter that she had taken his blood and enjoyed it or that she had been the sexual aggressor in the beginning, he was happy. She wanted him that way. The lines in his face had softened and he had laughed. Laughed. He barely smiled, almost as if his mouth didn’t know how to form that upward curve, but he was laughing. She felt the way he was happy. Deep inside, she felt that and knew she’d given that to him. Everything else melted away for her and she hugged that tightly to herself.
“I can’t believe I have you here with me,” she whispered and turned her face into his throat, nuzzling him. Inhaling. Tasting his skin with her tongue. “My life was pain and terror. You took away his voice. You gave me hope that my daughter would survive and others wouldn’t shun her. I was terrified and alone, and you changed all that. You brought beauty and hope back into my life. Thank you for that, Dragomir. I swear I will spend every minute making you happy.”
He bunched her hair at the nape of her neck in his fist and gently tugged until her head went back and she found herself looking into his golden eyes. “You gave me back my soul, Emeline. You gave me life. The scales are more than even. Much more. Still, having you make me happy sounds good, especially since I am very aware I am not an easy man.”
A frisson of alarm slid down her spine. Small. A cautioning. An awareness. She frowned. He’d warned her before. He looked scary. Outside, around others, he acted scary, but he’d never been anything but gentle with her. “You’ve said that before. What do you mean?”
Slowly, she sat up on his lap, pulling herself reluctantly out of his arms. If they were going to talk, she was going to have the armor of clothes. She looked around for her gown. It was a beautiful gown. Dragomir had given it to her.
“I made it for you.”
Her eyebrow shot up. The gown was beautiful, in material and design. “How? Are you telling me you can manufacture clothing along with everything else you can do?”
He nodded. “I wish I didn’t have to tell you the truth because I like the way you look at me, as if I can do anything, but actually, Emeline, you can manufacture clothing for yourself or anyone else. When you rise with the sinking sun, you think about being clean and what clothes you want to wear for the night.”
“Show me.”
The growling demand sent another shiver down her spine, but this one was delicious. Fun. Sensual. She did her best, picturing the fantasy she’d had more than once. Maybe a few too many times. Him lifting her, her legs wrapped around his hips. The water running down over both of them. Her mouth on his cock. His mouth between her legs. It was embarrassing, yet she wanted him to see the things she’d thought about long before he claimed her.
While the scenes played out in her head and he saw them in detail, more, he felt them, his cock grew hard and thick. She felt the hot pulsing against her bare buttocks. If they kept this up, neither was going to be able to resist the other. They wouldn’t dare go out in public. She moved deliberately, sliding her body over him in a slow, sensual massage.
“I see the benefits of a shower,” he said.
“Good.” She slid off his lap, down to the floor. “I’m glad you’re wise enough to see some of the things humans do can be very beneficial.” She caught his knees and tugged.
Dragomir obeyed her silent urging, allowing her to widen his thighs so her body could fit between them. “I have seen, over the centuries, many men sitting while their women knelt on the floor at their feet. I always thought it was strange, but I can see there is advantage in that as well.”
She smirked at him. “It’s good you’re willing to learn, Dragomir.”
“Very willing.”
She couldn’t help herself – the temptation was irresistible. She leaned forward, her hands on his knees, and licked at the flared head. A shudder went through his body and pleasure flooded her mind. She loved that she could feel what she was doing to him. She saw herself in his eyes. He found her the sexiest creature on the face of the earth. He loved watching her body, the sway of her breasts, the hardness of her nipples telling him she loved what she was doing.
He watched intently as his cock disappeared, engulfed by her mouth. He loved the way her lips stretched over his girth. He liked watching her tongue lick up his shaft and dance under the crown of the head. Every movement of her mouth brought scorching heat rushing through his body, centering in his groin.
She felt everything he felt, and her body reacted. She was giving him paradise. She liked that she could take everything from his mind and replace it with – her. With heat and flames. With passion and fire. With sheer pleasure. It was an indulgence, something he’d never experienced. She loved that she could give that to him. She loved the moment he couldn’t think clearly, yet he was still gentle, even while his hips moved just that bit out of control.
She knew she was giving him a kind of ecstasy he never expected from her. Complete giving. All for him. Everything for him. She loved the way her image was in his mind, branded there, her kneeling on the floor, hands on his knees, her lips around his cock, eyes on his while her breasts swayed and brushed his body with every movement. She was burned into his mind. That picture. That feeling.
The picture of him above her, the look on his face and the feeling in his mind were burned in her memories for all time. She knew she was just as addicted to this moment as she was to taking his blood or having him in her. She would always crave giving him this, the feeling, the image. She felt him swell, grow hotter. Then she was tasting that wild Dragomir flavor that was unique to him. All for her.
His groan was deep, and one hand went to the back of her head, holding her there, her mouth gentle on him now, her tongue lapping up every drop that had leaked. His breathing had gone ragged and his entire body shuddered with pleasure. She’d given him that. Satisfaction was a beautiful thing.
