Free Min's Vampire by Stella Blaze Page B

drew her back
for a kiss, their lips barely touching, his tongue licking at her
teeth. And then he forced her to face the mirror, and the
irrefutable fact that he was a vampire, not a man. She looked into
that damned mirror and felt tears sting her eyes. But these were
not tears of shame. Min felt something in her chest crumble, like a
great wall falling to ruin, turning to sand, and with it the sense
that something, something dangerous and probably very wrong, was
surging into her, straight into her heart.
    He’s in my heart…
    Impossible.
    But as she felt him pummel demandingly
into her, felt his arms surround her, his mouth against her neck,
she couldn’t deny it. Even staring at his lack of reflection, the
image of only herself coming back at her, she knew they were now
connected by more than just their bodies.
    Min clenched her eyes and
tried to push those thoughts away. Luca…no, the
vampire— yes , the
freaking soulless vampire—was making desperate sounds as he gasped and panted
against the back of her neck.
    Good. It would be over soon, and she
could bury this new feeling deep in some shadowy corner of her soul
and never look at it again. Maybe she’d ward her heart again.
Dangerous or no, it was better than feeling this way for a dead
thing. Maybe she would improve upon it too.
    The vampire stopped, holding her to
him, suddenly becoming the stillness that only a vampire can
manage. It was like being held and penetrated by a statue. It made
Min tremble.
    What was wrong? Had her other spells
fallen when the ward around her heart had as well? Was she about to
be killed?
    Slowly he pulled himself out of her,
making her body ache and hunger at the emptiness that he left
behind. He physically turned her around to face him. He was staring
at her chest, and then he took hold of her negligee and dragged it
up and over her head, leaving her completely naked, her nipples
hardening in the cool of the bathroom’s air. Her heart pounded so
fast, fear and dread…and rampant anticipation flooding her
mind.
    He leaned down and pressed his face to
her chest, as if he were listening for something. And then he
chuckled, and in an awed tone of voice rasped, “I can hear it. I
can hear it beating now.”
    He nuzzled his face into her cleavage,
kissing and licking her breasts, nipping at her nipples. And then
he righted himself, pushing his granite erection back into her,
gasping as she hissed. His eyes were closed, as if in ecstasy, but
when they opened, something so strange, so unexpected looked out at
her that Min simply blinked and shook her head.
    Luca picked her up, his cock planted
firmly up in her, his hands wrapping her legs around his hips, then
roughly cupped her ass as he walked them both out of the bathroom
and into her bedroom. He lowered her to the bed, sliding out of her
as he pulled off his shoes and his open pair of pants. With animal
grace he crawled onto the bed and up on top of her, his body supple
and beautiful, his manhood throbbing and hard.
    But it was his eyes that Min couldn’t
tear her gaze from. There was a light in them. A light she couldn’t
believe was there. As he entered her again, this time staring into
her eyes as he skewered her, she recognized for certain what it
was.
    His soul…
     

Chapter 10
    Having Min bent over that sink had been
a thing of beauty. Luca had enjoyed forcing her to do as he wanted,
and she had tasted all the better for it—she had truly been afraid.
But she could have stopped him. She could have ordered him to
leave, to go back to the bedroom—hell, she could have told him to
stake himself. With as much power as he’d felt in her binding
spell, she probably really could have told him to burst into flames
this time, and he would have, no match required.
    But she hadn’t.
    And though he felt himself losing his
connection with a vital part of himself, the beast inside, he still
enjoyed dominating her.
    He’d feasted greedily at her nether
lips, at her sex, making her
