Page 66 of Vanessa’s Bravery

She was a stubborn one, his mate. But he could be stubborn too. He took her hands and led them to his groin, pressing them to his cocks that had turned hard the moment he’d seen her naked in the shower.

“Does that feel like I’m doing this out of pity?” he challenged. “’Cause I’m fucking horny whenever I’m near you.” He pulled her closer so their bodies touched. “Feeling you in my arms. Damn it, baby, don’t you understand? I love you, and I don’t care what you are. As long as we can be together.”

Even if that meant that one day she’d have to turn him into a vampire so he would stop aging and could spend eternity with her. But that was a discussion for another day.

Vanessa lifted her head. “Cole…”

With his thumb he wiped away the streaks of bloody tears on her cheeks. How had he ever doubted that vampires had a heart? He could see Vanessa’s spilling out from her eyes, showing him that she had feelings that were just as deep as a human’s if not deeper.

“You don’t have to say anything, baby. And you don’t have to forgive me right away. I’ll prove myself to you. But I beg you: let me make love to you now. We both need this. I can feel how hot you are. I can ease that fever for you.”

Vanessa inched her face closer. “It’s so bad this time. Worse than all the other times before. I think I need… I need…”

He framed her face with his hands. “I know what you need: both my cocks inside you. Just like it’s meant between satyr mates.” Nothing less would do tonight.

“Yes.” Her answer was but a tender breath.

Cole slanted his lips over hers, capturing them for a searing kiss. He felt Vanessa’s hands on him, sliding them into his boxer briefs as she kissed him back. Cold water rained down on them, but he didn’t bother switching it off, knowing that Vanessa needed it so her body wouldn’t burn up. He pressed her against the tile wall, while he caressed her naked body and dueled with her tongue.

Vanessa yielded to his touch, her body responding to him just as passionately as when they’d made love earlier today. To know that she was a powerful creature, and that he, a mere mortal, could turn this woman into putty in his arms, was a powerful turn-on. Her sighs and moans bounced off the tiles, and her body’s heat seeped into him, making every cell in his body vibrate with pleasure.

Still pressing Vanessa against the tiles, he severed the kiss and dipped his head to her breasts. Her nipples were hard little buds, pointing up at him, asking for his touch. He sucked one into his mouth, while he pinched the other one between thumb and index finger. A gasp burst over her lips, and she thrust her breast toward him, demanding more.

“Your teeth,” she begged. “Use your teeth.”

He understood now why she’d enjoyed it when he’d bitten her lightly when they’d had sex before: it was something a vampire did with a lover, and he wouldn’t deny her anything now. Gently, Cole brushed his teeth over her skin, then pressed harder until his teeth sank into her flesh without breaking the skin. He felt a visible shudder run through Vanessa’s body, confirming that she enjoyed his rough caresses. He switched to her other breast and did the same there, while he dipped one hand to the apex of her thighs.

Vanessa lifted one leg and wrapped it around his hip, giving him better access. His fingers found her female folds moist with her juices, and rubbed over her warm cleft, before drawing them to her clit. The tiny organ was engorged, begging for his touch, and he painted circles around it with his finger, his tempo and pressure increasing with every second. Vanessa panted heavily, and her hips moved in synch with his touch.

“Oh God,” she let out, and the sound was like music to his ears.

He realized just how much he loved giving her what she needed, making her body hum with pleasure. She was all woman now, and she was all his. He’d never before felt this kind of possessiveness toward anyone but the woman in his arms.

While he continued caressing her clit, easing up when he felt she was getting too close, then speeding up to get her close to the edge again, he alternated between licking her nipples with his tongue and biting her breasts.

“Baby, baby, please, let me come,” she begged, her voice sounding like she was miles away.

He lifted his head from her breasts. “Anything you want, baby.” He captured her lips with his and delved into her mouth, reacquainting himself with the delicious cavern of her mouth, while farther below, he rubbed his finger over her center of pleasure in a faster tempo.

Suddenly he felt Vanessa’s body spasm, and she moaned into his mouth. He let go of her clit and drove his finger into her pussy, just in time to feel how her interior muscles clenched around his digit as she climaxed.

Cole let go of her mouth and looked at her face. Her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes shone golden, eliminating the green in her irises completely. Her lips looked bruised from his kisses, and heavy pants rolled over them. She looked thoroughly loved. Any sign that she’d cried only minutes earlier was gone.

“Now you’re ready for me,” he murmured at her lips. “For both my cocks.”

She opened her eyes fully and gazed at him, excitement sparkling in them. “Yes.”

Cole pulled her with him and stepped onto the bath mat. “Do you have lubricant?”

“Top left drawer next to the sink.”

Vanessa pointed toward it. Cole rid himself of his wet boxer briefs and opened the drawer. He found the tube of lubricant immediately, and squeezed a generous dollop onto his palm. When he turned around, Vanessa stood right in front of him, looking sexier than she ever had. Quickly, he lathered his upper cock with the lubricant. His cocks were super sensitive now, the anticipation ratcheting up his arousal even more.

Without a word, Vanessa turned to the sink, gripped it, and stepped back, while she placed her legs hip-width apart, her ass pointing up at him.

“Fuck!” He wouldn’t last long. Not with Vanessa giving herself to him like this; submitting to him by offering her body to him.

“Don’t make me wait,” she murmured, looking over her shoulder. “You know you want it too.”
