Free VET Vampire Romance 01 - Covet by Felicity Heaton

plunge of his cock pushed her closer to the edge. Each brush of his pelvis against her aroused nub sent shivers chasing up her thighs and tore a moan from her throat. She leaned her head back and to one side, sensing his intent, inviting him in and wanting him to go through with it this time. She wasn’t afraid of the consequences.
    “Forgive me... I cannot help... I must.” He snarled, withdrew sharply and then thrust his cock hard into her as he buried his fangs deep into her throat.
    Lilah cried out, fire sweeping through every inch of her, burning her up as she trembled and quaked, her body throbbing hard with her orgasm. Shivers and tingles cascaded over her skin, up and down her thighs in time with each pulse of his cock inside her and each pull he made on her blood. She clutched him to her, unable to do anything else but ride out each tremor of bliss that rocked her, her breath stuttering and heart stammering in her chest. Javier sucked softly on her neck, his hips making shallow thrusts, hands tightly gripping her.
    No pain.
    Only deep pleasure that sent her floating and drifting away, that slowly broke through the tremors of her orgasm and opened her mind to the feel of her blood flowing from her and into Javier. With each drop he took from her, the horizon in her mind expanded, unravelling outwards, until it met his and merged. She could feel him. Was this what it was like to be bitten by a vampire and have them take blood from you? She had never experienced it before.
    Javier’s thoughts were warm around her, soft as they encased her, and she felt as though they were holding her as surely as his hands were. She fell into them, unafraid, opening herself to him in the hope that he would know that she was there too and would feel her thoughts as she could feel his. It was too difficult to tell him that she loved him right now when everything was so uncertain but she could let him feel it. The feeling inside her intensified and the warmth she felt increased, suffusing her and making her smile. She didn’t understand what was happening but she didn’t need to in order to know Javier’s feelings for her in the connection forged between their blood.
    He withdrew his fangs and licked the puncture marks on her throat, softly and slowly, with infinite care. She was growing sleepy by the time he finally finished and placed a kiss on her throat.
    “Sleep a while with me,” he whispered into her ear and rolled them over, gathering her close to him. He tugged the bedclothes over her and around them both, and then wrapped his arms around her shoulders, holding her.
    Lilah didn’t want to sleep but the incredible warmth flowing through her and the feelings she could sense in Javier carried her away.

Chapter 7
    Javier stared down at Lilah where she lay in his arms, her head resting against his forearm and her slow breaths skating warmly over his bare chest. Each beat of her steady heart marked another passing second and brought him closer to the time when he would have to face her master. He refused to fear it while he held her safe in his arms, her nude body curled close to his and her right hand on his left shoulder, close to the place where she had bitten him. It felt so peaceful that he could almost believe that this time with her would never end and they would drift through eternity like this, quiet and sated, alternating between sleeping and making love.
    He drew his left hand away from her and carefully lifted the strands of her dark chestnut hair from her face, tucking them back into the loose mess of her bun.
    She was so beautiful.
    His Lilah.
    He traced a lone fingertip down her warm satin cheek, unable to remember the last time he had felt so content and had watched over a woman as she slept in his arms. Not this past century at least. The theatre had become his life since the night it opened, stealing all his time and energy. Until Lilah had walked into his life and filled it with new colours and sounds, and
