. I am only barely in control now.If you try to flee, I think I ll lose it,and I ll take you without any kindness.I don t want that between us.Oh, but it was there.The desire to take her because she belongedto him was right there beneath the surface.His senses were filled withher.Her skin glowed, and he could smell the soft, musky scent of herdesire.Her lips were full, swollen from the way he d shoved his cockin between them.He d shove his cock into her pussy, too.She washis.He d bought her, fought for her.It was only right that he take her.Kaja swallowed and got to her knees. I do not want that betweenus, either.It was the gentle hitch in her voice that pulled him from the edge.She d seen so much violence, known so little kindness.He d closedthat odd connection between them before he d seen too much, buthe d caught the edge of Kaja s reality.The last thing he wanted wasto be just another person who used her.But that s what you re doing.That voice in his head didn t seemto care about his hunger.He wasn t using her.He was saving her.Ifhe hadn t bought her, Beck would have been forced to kill her, or shewould have spent a lifetime alone, wandering the forests.He d doneher a favor.And when she d paid him back by convincing his fatherhe had settled down, Dante would find her a nice home.She wouldhave luxury like she d never imagined. What should I do? Kaja asked.He could think of a million things she should do.She should runbecause he wasn t worthy of her.He was a selfish bastard, and healways would be.He couldn t commit.It was simply impossible.This142 Sophie Oakraging passion he felt for her would fade.It was inevitable, so if hehad a heart in his body, he would save her the pain. Come to me. He held out his hand and indicated that she shouldsit on his lap.Kaja got to her feet and stepped forward.She placed herself on hislap, the soft flesh of her ass kissing his thighs.The minute her skintouched his, he felt something ease deep inside him.That naggingbeast that raged below the surface let up the tiniest bit. Put your arms around me. Dante let his hands drift to her waistas he breathed her in.Her hair was mostly dry, and it bloomed aroundher delicate face like a halo of softness.He let his nose run through it.Kaja s hands found their way around his neck, and he could hear theway her heart sped up.She might be frightened, but there wasobviously a part of her that wanted, too.Kaja knew what Dante wasgoing to do, and yet she wrapped her body around his, allowing himto fill his every sense with her.Dante s heart began to pound in time to the rhythm he heard.Kaja s chest thudded as he ran his nose along the line of her neck.Hecould hear the blood running through her body like a river of life.Hisfangs scraped her skin, and she trembled. Don t be afraid. He couldn t stand the thought now.Her armswere around him, circling him in her light.Her very touch hadsoftened his predatory instincts and brought out a need to please her.A consort had her power, too. Will it hurt? The words came out on a breathless whisper.He kept his mouth close to her neck.He couldn t seem to move it.It was far too tempting.But he soothed a hand down her back. Idon t know, love.I don t think so.Consorts seem to love the bite, andit s always followed by some righteously nasty sex.He felt her chuckle, and something eased inside him. You soundlike Dante again.Beast 143He felt more in control.Her very nearness allowed him to pushthe beast back.It was still there, simmering below the surface, butDante felt more like himself.And he was hungry.So fucking hungry.It gnawed at his gut, but it was so much more than physical.Hehungered for her.If someone had offered him a pill at that moment,he would have smacked them down.He didn t need fucking nutrition.He needed her.But there was a process.Every royal knew it.Every royal wasforced to study it right along with an embarrassing course in sexeducation.Dante had laughed his way through it, from the talk on safefeeding to the teaching plastic model every student had been forced to feed from to prove he wouldn t rip its throat out.Delicacy wasgiven high marks.If he simply bit down, she would be in agony.Persuasion was the key. Look at me, Kaja. Dante forced his head up.He looked into hereyes, not allowing himself a moment to blink. They re so beautiful.So green.Like the forest in high summerbefore the winter takes everything away. Kaja stared at his eyes, notfighting him at all.Her mouth was slightly open.This was what theclass had talked about.Persuasion.It felt good to pull her in and knowshe was his for the taking.She wouldn t feel the pain of his fangspenetrating that smooth, white neck.All she would feel would bepleasure with every drag he took from her. You re the beautiful one, Kaj. He smoothed back her hair.Hercrystal-blue eyes were a little cloudy, but he couldn t mistake theaffection there.She was fully in the moment with him.And this was more than a feed.Dante pulled her close, her nipplesbrushing against his chest.They were hard little points.He could feelher wet little pussy rubbing against his thigh.Kaja was ready for along, hard fucking, and he would give it to her.After.Instinct led him.He forgot about the class and everything he dever heard about this act.This was between him and Kaja, and no one144 Sophie Oakelse in all the planes of existence could know what it felt like.Theworld had narrowed down, and Kaja filled it.There was only thescent of her, and the pearly glow of her skin, and the sound of herheart.Dante gently grabbed a handful of silky hair and pulled her headback, exposing the long line of her neck.A single vein seemed topulse and tempt him.He licked from her collarbone to just below herearlobe, following that sweet river that would feed his hunger. Please, Dante. She squirmed just a little.Dante chuckled.There was no fear in her voice now.She wantedit.She was ready to beg for it.And Dante was done playing.His cockached and every muscle in his body screamed to take her. Yes.Yes, it s time. It was time to join with her.The phrasestuck in his head like a song he couldn t get rid of.Joining.Being.Kaja.Dante struck.He didn t question how he knew where to strike.Hesimply let that primal piece of himself take over, and his fangs piercedthe vein with flawless accuracy.Not too deep.He felt the smallhollow in his fangs fill for the first time with sweet, living blood.Sowarm and rich.He hadn t realized how cold he d been before, but asKaja s blood began to flow through his system, he knew he d neverlook at a meal pill again.This was what it meant to be full andcomplete.Her blood invaded him like the sweetest drug he d everknown.She was better than alcohol, better than anything.Dante dragged blood into his body as Kaja moaned in his arms.She clung to him, her hands clutching as though she never wantedhim to stop.And that was the danger.She didn t want to stop.He didn t wantto stop.He could drink until she was dry and still want more.Justanother minute and he would stop.Then there was something beneath the taste.Dante felt somethingskittering on the edge of his consciousness.It was a single vision.Beast 145The world was white and cold.All around him was snow.Itcoated the ground and filled the air.White flakes danced through thewind and played on his snout.He had a snout.He had four feet and a strong body.He could feelthe long line of his spine [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
