Free William by Sam Crescent

it was a trap.”
    “I can,” she answered honestly.
    They had come so close to losing each other.
    “Come on. Staring at that thing is making me depressed and I don’t want to be depressed—not here.” Taking her by the hand, he led her through the forest, guiding her out into the open.
    The sky was blue with white, fluffy clouds. Katie couldn’t help but release a giggle.
    “What?” William asked.
    “Someone who is so serious has such a pretty place to hide.”
    He took her to the only tree in the meadow and pressed her against the bark, moving closer.
    “I can’t be serious all the time.”
    Katie felt his erection push against her belly. William took each of her hands in his and lifted them above her head.
    “I have you now,” he moaned.
    Katie could feel the pool of heat spreading between her legs. He was so close and it felt…real. She didn’t want it to end.
    “I like you having me.” She twined her fingers with his, showing him with that one act that she was where she wanted to be. Katie was no longer fighting to get away—instead she was fighting to get closer to him.
    “I want you so bad,” he growled. He pressed against her neck, feathering her skin with kisses. Katie shivered with excitement.
    “I want you, too,” she groaned as he thrust his pelvis against her. This was the first man who had shown an interest in her and she didn’t want it to end.
    She loved having him close.
    Her nipples were hard, budding against the flimsy fabric of her dress.
    “Touch me, William,” she begged.
    Taking both her wrists in one palm, he brought his other hand down, cupping her cheek, running his thumb along the line of her lower lip. Katie touched the tip of her tongue against him, tasting him.
    She watched as his eyes flared at the contact and she retreated, not wanting to take him too far.
    He applied pressure to her lips to encourage her to accept him and thrust the digit between her lips, observing her as she sucked him into her mouth.
    “You are one wicked witch,” he gasped, making Katie laugh. “I love that sound.”
    “What sound?”
    “You, laughing.”
    “I love you making me laugh, William.” She kissed his thumb, looking into his eyes.
    “I love you saying my name—say it again,” he instructed.
    Katie smiled. “William… William…” She moved closer to his ear, straining against his hold. “I love you, William Valentine.
    He moved his hands, sinking his fingers into the length of her hair. He grasped it in his fist and kissed her with a passion she had never experienced before.
    He took over her mouth, her lips, showing her how wonderful it could be to love and be loved.
    It didn’t scare her to be in love with a vampire. She loved him so much.
    She moved her hands to his shoulders and held on.
    “I want you so much, William,” she gasped against his demanding lips.
    “I’ll have you Katie. You’re mine.”
    She gasped. She didn’t want to wait. “Make love to me now?” she asked him.
    William stopped, pulling back from her. He gazed at her and Katie could see him assessing her.
    “What did you say?”
    Katie touched his cheek affectionately. “I want you to make love to me, here and now.” She moved her hands to the bottom of her dress, ready to pull it up over her head.
    “Stop, Katie.” He placed his hands over hers, holding the dress in place.
    “Don’t you want to?” she asked him, worry and hurt pulling at her.
    “More than you can ever know.”
    “Then why are you stopping me?”
    “Katie, my first time making love to you is not going to be in my dream and spirit world. When I make love to you, it will be with you in my arms, so when I wake up you are right there with me. I can make love to you here but it won’t stick. You’ll still wake up a virgin,” he told her.
    Katie cried out in frustration.
    “I’m going to die a virgin. In this world wherever the hell I really am.”
    William took her to the floor, settling her between his legs. He
