Excerpt (Adult):
The bedroom door had barely clicked behind me when
Samantha grabbed and shoved me toward the bed. I fell backward, and she was on
top of me, clawing at my clothes and ripping off her own. Whatever had been
going on with her all day was now clearly finding a release.
“Sam?”
She kissed me roughly and shoved her tongue into my
mouth. I groaned and pushed her back.
Though we french kissed all the time, I generally kept
her out of my mouth.
“Sam?”
Finally, she stilled. With her hands braced on my
shoulders, her eyes burned down into mine. Her anger squeezed my chest. Her
voice was strained. “Lucien, we’ll talk later. I promise. But right now I want
you, and I need you. And I need you to know it, feel it.” Her words clarified
little, but I nodded.
She unleashed herself on me, kissing and licking and
roughly nipping at my upper body all while
maintaining eye contact. I thrust my hips into her when
she lingered over my Blood Mark. I finally had to grab her hair and tug her
attention away from it.
With a groan, she reached a hand down between her legs
and worked herself as she devoured me. When I realized what she was doing, I
moaned and gripped her shoulders and rolled on top of her.
I grabbed her hand and pulled it to my mouth, then
noisily sucked on her wet fingers. I groaned at the sweet nectar of her
arousal.
“You see what you do to me, Lucien? What only you do
to me?” she rasped. “Take me, Lucien. I’m yours,” she offered as she planted
her feet flat on the mattress and pushed herself up forcefully against my
erection.
Her aggression spurred mine, and I grunted. “You want
me?” I asked as I ground myself against
her wetness. She ran a hand over the bedspread and found the
packet she’d apparently laid out earlier. She slid herself against me as she
opened it and then rolled on the condom. “God, yes,” she whimpered.
I plunged forward and filled her in one hard stroke. She
screamed and wrapped herself around
me. Hard breaths and grunts and strained curses in two
languages filled the room as we battled through Samantha’s emotions with our
bodies. She kissed me roughly and dug her nails into my flesh. The physical
pain mingled with her radiating pleasure to coax what I was sure was going to
be one of the most intense orgasms I’d ever experienced.
She came in a frenzy of screams and muscle contractions.
And then bit against the taut skin at
the base of my neck. Hard.
My fangs and release shot out at the same time. I growled
and in a blur turned my head in search of my biceps. I missed the tender skin
of her shoulder by a hair as the urge to bite down became irresistible.
Finally, I willed my fangs to retract and licked at the
wound I’d made on my arm, then slid down a little and laid my head on her
heaving breasts.
“I love you,” I whispered breathlessly.
She hugged my shoulders and combed her fingers through my
hair. “I love you, too.” We lay together, panting, for a long time. “Lucien?” I
lifted my head off her chest to look at her. “I’m ready to talk now.
