flesh, he lost himself a little more in the act. His gratitude overwhelmed me.
Nathan sucked my nipple into his mouth, and I could only concentrate on his
flicking tongue and the scrape of his stubble against my skin. I threaded my
fingers through his hair and closed my eyes. Nathan crawled up my body,
pressing kisses to my neck.  It s the most incredible thing, he whispered.  I
can hear what you re thinking.Where you want me to touch you. Was it like that

The instant he said it, my body went cold.
He cursed.  That was probably the dumbest thing I ve ever said.
I wanted badly to cover myself. I was too exposed, too vulnerable.  It
certainly wasn t smart.
 I only  He shook his head.  You know you re my first fledgling. This is an
entirely new experience for me. I m not used to being the one who needs
information. I m usually the answer guy.
 I don t know anything about being a sire, Nathan. I have no idea how it

works. It s something you re just going to have to find out on your own.
He rose onto his knees and it looked as though he was going to get up from
the bed. His denied need throbbed painfully through my own aching body, and I
reached for him. I d never been the initiator in sexual situations. Most of
the time, I d just gone through the motions, wanting to please for the sake of
approval. Now I just wanted to make him feel something other than fear or
anguish. And I really wanted him.
 What are you 
I shushed him as I reached for the gleaming button of his fly. He took a
sharp breath as the button popped free. I pulled the zipper down and slipped
my hand inside his pants.
Despite the interruption, he was still hard. His erection jerked as my
fingers closed around its substantial girth, and his shudder passed through
me. I stroked him, my head reeling from the peripheral sensations that
affected me through the blood tie.
He stood beside the bed to step out of his jeans, and I slithered across the
mattress to grip the tight muscles of his thighs. He groaned when I rubbed my
cheek against his hip, my soft breath teasing his straining cock. I gave in to
his silent urging through the tie, opening my mouth to draw him in.
He tasted salty, but not unpleasant. I swirled my tongue around the swollen
head as I sucked more of him in. As his excitement built, so did mine. When he
grasped my hair and gently pulled me back, I knew he d nearly reached the end.
Laying me back, Nathan relied on the blood tie to learn how I liked to be
touched. He d rush to fulfill my requests with eager hands and lips. He
reveled in my responses. Not the way Cyrus had. Nathan didn t view my desire
as a way to manipulate or control me.
This realization removed the last of my inhibitions. If I lost control with
Nathan, I wouldn t lose a part of myself. I was so relieved by this that I
came as he slid two fingers inside me. From the look on his face, he was as
surprised as I was.
 Apparently I m not as rusty at this as I thought. He sank between my legs,
bracing his weight on his arms.
The movement of muscle beneath his skin fascinated me.  Watch it. I ve got
what I wanted. I could just decide I m done with you and then where will you
be?
 Jerking off, like I ve been for the past twenty years.But you re not going
anywhere.
I slapped his shoulder lightly for his crude remark, and he reached between
us and guided himself into the slick entrance of my body.
My lungs constricted as I stretched to accommodate him. I gasped, wrapping my
arms around him. Oh, my oh.
He slipped his hands beneath my back and lifted me onto his lap. I held on to
his shoulders as every long inch of him slid into me.
Leaning close to my ear, he practically purred,  Told youyou weren t going
anywhere. I buried my face in his shoulder as he flexed his hips. He felt

solid and real, and his skin smelled faintly of soap.
 I ve wanted to do this since the night you came into the shop. His voice
was fueled by ragged breaths, and his words sent a shock through me.
It was nice to be wanted. Not for power or control, but wanted as a woman.
I pushed my hips down as he surged up and I bit down hard on my lip to stifle
a moan. I tasted the blood my bite produced. Nathan leaned back, his eyes
dark. He unconsciously licked his lip.
My heart pounded, echoing the throb of his erection that was buried deep
inside me. Nathan s eyes never left the smear of blood on my mouth.
 Go ahead, I whispered.  I want you to.
He hesitated only a moment. Then he caught my lip between his teeth and
licked the blood away.
When I d ingested Cyrus s blood, I d seen a vision of Nathan s past death. I
could only imagine what Nathan saw when he tasted mine.
Whatever it was, it tore a fierce growl from his throat. He pushed me back on
the bed and stretched my arms high above my head, pinning me.
Pain.In my blood, he d seen pain.
The tenderness in his eyes overwhelmed me.  Why didn t you tell me what he
did to you?
I shut my eyes.  Why would you want to know?
His lips brushed mine. There was nothing in the gesture but kindness, the
love of a sire. His frustration and rage shook me to the core.  I could have
made it better. I don t know how, but I could have.
I swallowed against tears.  You could make me forget.
With a sad smile, he nodded.  I ll see what I can do.
He moved within me, slowly. Over and over, he withdrew almost completely,then
slid back in, gaining a bit of speed each time. Soon, he pumped against me so
furiously, an explosion of breath escaped from me with each thrust. I clenched
the sheets in my fists and rocked in time to his movement.
The familiar spiraling feeling, the sense of swiftly losing control, gripped
me. I needed only a little push to make it over the edge. Hearing my silent
desperation, he slipped his hand between us and rubbed my swollen clitoris.
The stimulation was exactly what I sought. I arched up from the bed.
It was his name I cried when I came, his face I saw when I opened my eyes.
The relief was so intense that I almost sobbed.
 That s it, sweetheart, he groaned against my hair. He abandoned the rhythm,
plunging into me with more urgency than before.
 Come, I urged, clutching at his sweat-slicked back. He thrust almost too
hard against me as he reached the end.
 Thank you, he whispered over and over when he could speak again. He kissed

my lips, my forehead, anywhere he was able to reach.
When helaid beside me, I rolled awkwardly off of the bed, wrapping the sheet
around my bare body.
Nathan frowned.  Where are you going?
I suddenly felt cold, and oddly lonely. The bathroom.To clean up.
When I got to the door, he spoke.  It was good we got that out of our
systems. It was probably inevitable.
 Yeah, I agreed. Hadn t it meant anything to him? It didn t have to be
serious, but he had to feel something more than just relief that it was over.
Exhaling in frustration, he leaned up on his elbow.  You know it did,
Carrie.
His answer to my unspoken question should have comforted me, but it didn t.
I shuffled to the bathroom and snapped on the light. As I stared at my
suddenly tired face in the mirror, a tear slid down my cheek.
No, I don t know. And I don t know you, either, Nathan.I turned away from my
reflection, slightly disgusted with myself.
I didn t know him any better than I ever had.
Twenty-Two
I Left My Heart inSan Francisco
ThoughI dreaded the fallout from our encounter, the nights that followed were
too busy to be very awkward.
During my recovery, Nathan had been feeding me his blood. With nothing to
replace what he d given, he d seriously drained himself. Combined with the [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
