Free Wild Ones by Cassie Black Page B

now I would have to
experience the brutality of vampire sex again, though fortunately
not first hand. I was dwelling on this when the bedroom door opened
and Julius walked in carrying a small blonde child. Steph came in
behind him, carrying a bag and looking as if all her Christmases
had come at once.
    "Mommy!" the
little girl squealed happily and bounded across the room.
    "Oh, my baby,"
Jen smiled happily. She introduced the tiny bundle of energy as
Sophie, and Steph beamed when Jen thanked her and patted the bed
invitingly. Julius smiled wryly at the sight, but he frowned
slightly when he glanced at me.
    "You look
tired, Millie."
    "I'm fine," I
told him with a half-hearted smile, suddenly feeling exhausted.
    "Hmm," he said,
and looked back to where Jen sat cuddling Sophie on her lap and
talking to Steph. Jen looked up at him, smiled shyly and said,
"Thank you for saving me today. And for bringing me my baby."
    Julius smiled
back, his gaze intent. "Any time." Jen blushed as only redheads do.
Oh boy, I thought.
    Atticus and
Andronicus walked in then. Atticus smiled at me while Andronicus
opened his bag and removed a syringe and a needle, and proceeded to
draw some fluid out of a glass vial. That done, he looked
enquiringly at Atticus, who nodded.
    "Vaccination
time, sweetheart," he told me. "You need to give Andronicus
permission."
    I scowled at Dr
Pervert for a few seconds, suddenly aware that everyone had stopped
talking and were now all watching me.
    "Do it, then,"
I said, rolling up the sleeve of my t-shirt. He smiled hesitantly,
and stepped forward. I felt a slight sting as the needle penetrated
my skin, and then it was over. "You should probably vaccinate Jen
too."
    Andronicus
looked at Julius, who nodded. Jen looked at me enquiringly.
    "It's to
protect you from the venom in their teeth," I explained.
    Her eyes
widened slightly, but she nodded, and pulled her terrycloth gown
down over one shoulder. I heard a sharp intake of breath from
Julius' direction, and smiled grimly to myself. I could almost feel
his torment from here.
    "Bed time,
Millie," Atticus said softly, and I smiled up at him and nodded. He
lifted me up easily and cradled me in those strong arms. I rested
my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes, suddenly too tired
to resist the relentless tug of sleep.

    I woke up the
next morning in a warm soft bed, pleased to note that I still wore
a t-shirt and panties. I stretched my arms out and bumped into
something. I turned and looked straight into Atticus' warm brown
eyes. A smile curled his lips.
    "Good morning,
sleepyhead," he purred.
    "I'm hungry," I
told him as my stomach growled.
    "Me too," he
said and chuckled dirtily. I considered that for a moment, and
remembered that incredibly skilled tongue. I felt a tugging in my
lower belly and a tingling between my legs. I looked at him, at his
beautiful and talented mouth. More tingling. I considered my
options.
    Oh, what the
hell.
    "Fine. Go
ahead," I sighed. He knew exactly what I meant, too.
    "Really?" He
looked stunned.
    "Pregnancy
hormones, what can I say," I said.
    He didn't need
any more encouragement than that, and I found myself naked in no
time at all, as his hot tongue practised its magic and my body
responded joyfully. I groaned with ecstasy as I came, and lay for a
few minutes afterwards absentmindedly stroking the blonde head that
lay on my belly. My stomach growled again.
    "OK, OK, I'll
fetch breakfast," he chuckled, and stood up and pulled a pair of
jeans on. "Any orders, my Lady?"
    I lay back and
enjoyed the way his eyes devoured my nakedness. Those pregnancy
hormones had a lot to answer for.
    "Bacon, eggs,
toast, tea. Lots of it," I told him, closing my eyes in bliss as I
imagined the food. He chuckled again, and when I opened my eyes he
had disappeared.
    He returned a
few minutes later carrying a tray and deposited it with a flourish
on the bed.
    "Canadian
breakfast. Julius heard that you're awake, and he's waiting
impatiently
