2#Awakened by the Vampire Prince (Flower) (7 page)

Esral
had to close her eyes in order to restore her turbulent balance. Her first
instinct was to rip off her nightgown and to beg him to take her. To become one
with this male, joined for always. That was her greatest fantasy. It would
never happen though. She would stay true to York once she was mated but she
would have this moment with Xavier.

“I
will ease your need with my mouth and my hands.” Her voice trembled with both
nerves and excitement.

Xavier’s
eyes glowed for a few seconds before darkening up. He swallowed thickly. “Are
you sure? You really don’t…”

“Lie
down.” She gestured to the bed.

His
lip twitched, for a second it looked like he might actually smile but the
tension that radiated off of him dominated. “I didn’t know you could be so
bossy.”

“When
I want something, I go after it. Right now, I want to ease you. I want”—she
took a deep breath—“your…cock in my mouth.”

Xavier
groaned as he did as she asked. “Bossy and you talk dirty. I can’t wait to make
you mine.” Xavier turned serious, he lifted his upper body, cupping her jaw.
“Seeing you with York, made me realize that you are the one for me. I don’t
need to test compatibility; we’ll work out the whole blood thing. I need you in
my life, Esral. I don’t care—”

She
pushed his chest so that he would lie back down. She couldn’t listen to the
things he was saying. It hurt too much. To shut him up, she gripped his root in
her trembling hand and stroked the sensitive flesh.

Xavier
immediately fell back, he growled like she had hurt him.

“Was
I too rough?” There was a panicked edge to her voice.

He
shook his head. “It felt really good.” His lids were at half mast. “Any type of
touch from you would be pure bliss. You don’t have to worry about hurting me.”

Her
eyes were drawn back to his turgid flesh, tentatively, she wrapped a hand
around his wide girth. Xavier hissed between clenched teeth. His root was so
soft, like the finest delicate petals, but at the same time it was hard like
granite. The head of his root was bulbous and soft, his breathing quickened
when she touched him there.

“Are
you more sensitive here at the top of your…cock?”

Xavier
swallowed hard. She noticed that his hands were fisted at his sides. His liquid
mercury eyes were firmly on her hand. He nodded. “Yeah.” His voice was rough.
“I don’t think I’ve ever needed to come more in my whole life.”

“Tell
me what you want me to do? How do you like to be touched?”

His
eyes filled with tenderness. “No one has ever asked me that before.”

“I
want to please you, Xavier.”

“You
already do, princess. More than you know.” He leaned forward, running the pad
of his thumb over her bottom lip. “Remember that day I found some ripe mangos
for you.”

“Yes.”
Did she ever. “You got so angry with me for being unladylike and made me throw
away my mango before I had finished. You cut up the other two for me and made
me eat them with a knife and fork.”

His
eyes darkened and he threw her a half smile. “The way you were sucking on the
fruit did crazy things to me. I almost came in my pants just watching you.”

She
felt her eyes widen as she gasped. “That’s why you were so angry with me? I
turned you on?” She added the last as realization dawned.

“Big
time.” His voice turned husky. “Treat my cock like you did that mango and I’ll
be the happiest male in Pulamor…make that, this side of the hemisphere.”

Esral
smiled in a way he had never seen before. It was the smile of a sensual female.
One that had come to understand the power that she wielded. It heated his
blood. Her lips were like just picked berries, they glistened as her tongue
moved across them. She turned her gaze to his rock-fucking-hard-cock. One suck
between those magnificent lips and he was going to explode.

“Princess.”
His voice held a warning note.

She
looked back at him under long, delicate lashes, suddenly looking every bit the
innocent she was.

“I
will tell you when I’m about to come. Push my cock down like this…” He
demonstrated, aiming his shaft at his stomach. “That way, I will come on
myself. I don’t want to mess up your sheets.”

She
nodded, looking back down at his dick. Her eyes flared with desire and the
little pink tip of her tongue flicked across her lips. “I will need to be
careful.” She flashed her teeth which all had sharp little points.

It
was such a contrast to her delicate features and long, silky soft hair. Her
feral grin only turned him on even more. It gave him hope that she would one
day put those sharp points to good use. “I think I might like it a little
rough, princess. Don’t hold back on my account.”

Esral
took her sweet time leaning down to him. He felt her breath on his oversensitive
head way before her lush lips closed over him. Her long golden hair fell in a
curtain about her face. Thank fuck he could make out how her lips thinned as
they stretched around his girth.

He
cursed as she took him to the back of her throat. Her mouth made little
suction, slurpy noises as she withdrew before taking him back. She looked
exactly as she had that day in the dining hall as she attacked the mango, only
better because his dick was in her mouth. He threw his head back so that he
could gain some much needed composure. If he kept watching her, he would
explode in no time. Xavier wanted to savor the moment.

Her
teeth scraped against him when she deep throated him. The sharp pinch had his
balls pulling up and he growled loudly.

There
was a popping noise as she released him. “Did I hurt you?” Her lips were puffy
and her cheeks were flushed. He couldn’t help but to wonder how she would look
in the throes of love making. The word spectacular came to mind.

He
shook his head. “It feels amazing. I’m trying hard to keep still. I might growl
or curse but it’s only because of how turned on I am.”

“You’ll
tell me if I hurt you? I think I tasted blood when my teeth nicked you.”

“You
can bite into any part of me any time you like, princess.”

“I
think that you can call me Esral. I have your cock in my mouth.” She looked
even more gorgeous when she was laying down the law.

Xavier
couldn’t help but to smile, he nodded once while groaning as she took back his
dick. This time her little hand moved up and down his shaft as she sucked on
him. Her sharp teeth scraped against him every so often but thank fuck she
didn’t stop to apologize again.

Her
nighty gaped, giving him a fantastic view of her deep cleavage. It amazed him
how such a petite female had such lush mammary glands. They only just fit his
hands and he was a big male. They were so soft, so succulent. He couldn’t wait
to see her naked. To feel her tense just before she came apart. He couldn’t
wait to fix this whole mess and make her his. It was on that thought and a
particularly hard suck that he felt his balls pull into his throat.

“Stop,
Esral,” he choked out. Xavier threaded his fingers through her hair, intent on
moving her away. “I’m coming.” He grunted, barely holding on.

When
her hand closed tighter around his shaft and her lips suctioned a little harder
as she sucked him deeper into her mouth, he felt his resolve weaken. When her
teeth caught the sensitive rim of his dick, cum erupted on a hoarse growl.

“Esral.”
He groaned her name, his hips jerked but she handled the movements catching his
skin with her teeth only once more. It shocked him how good it felt. He made a
noise that was somewhere between a grunt and a moan. He realized that he was
gripping her hair and forced himself to let go.

Most
vampire males did not allow their females to go down on them for fear of fangs
catching on their sensitive flesh. Xavier was just so desperate to be close to
Esral that he couldn’t say no to her. He had expected to enjoy the encounter
because hell, any contact with Esral was a bonus. What amazed him the most
though, was just how much he had enjoyed her giving him head. Her sharp teeth
turned him on big time.

He
groaned as she finally released his still hard flesh. Already, he wanted her
again. The need only increased when she smiled at him and he caught the sight
of a red drop on her top lip.

Fuck!
She had his blood on her mouth and didn’t seem averse to it. The princess
actually licked her lips, sweeping away the drop on a contented sigh.

Xavier
longed to kiss her so that he could savor his taste on her lips. He longed even
more to thrust into her welcoming flesh, he could scent her need. He longed to
drink from her and to feel her little teeth bite into him.
Soon
. Right
now, he needed to hold her in his arms. Maybe she would let him stay until she
fell asleep.

The
bed creaked as he changed positions, pulling her into his embrace. “I told you
to stop. You didn’t have to swallow.”

“I
couldn’t stop, you tasted too good. I enjoyed…swallowing.” He could hear that
she was smiling. It warmed his heart.

He
couldn’t help but to chuckle. “You are full of surprises. I have to say that you
feel perfect in my arms.”

He
felt her tense.

“What
is it? You do know that I plan to fix this don’t you? I’ve already set the
record straight with York. You are mine. We belong together, Esral.”

The
tension through her body only increased. “Please, I don’t want to talk about it
right now. Just hold me.” There was a desperate edge to her voice that chilled
him to the core.

“Wait
a minute, princess.” He pulled away so that he could look into her wide,
fearful eyes. Fearful…
what the fuck
! “I will fix this in the morning. I
am claiming you, not because I have to or because it would be the right thing
to do but because I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He clasped her
jaw and felt her shiver beneath his touch. “You need to know that I—”

She
shook her head and her eyes filled with tears. “Please don’t say anymore. I
couldn’t take it. It is already done, you cannot claim me.” Her lip trembled.
“I’m promised to York. The ceremony has been announced.”

“Bullshit!”
He sat upright, feeling every muscle inside him tense. “Why did you let me
touch you? What was this all about?”

Esral
sniffed softly and he felt as if his heart had been stabbed. She put a soft,
tentative hand to his chest touching him with the barest tips of her fingers.
Her lip trembled as she shrugged her shoulders. “You have my heart but any
chance we had of being together is gone. I needed this. I’m sorry.” Her voice
shook so badly that she paused, biting down on her lower lip for a few beats.
“I know it was selfish of me. Wrong on so many levels but I had to be with you
one last time. It was my way of saying goodbye.”

Blood
rushed through his veins, he could hear the beat of his heart in his ears.
Xavier had to work to keep himself from pulling her to him. He shook his head.
“No, Esral. I will speak with Keto. They cannot hold you to this farce of a
mating. It was all a mistake. A terrible misunderstanding. I will fix it.”

A
tear fell as she shook her head. “It is done.”

“Stop
saying that.” This time he couldn’t help but to clasp her slender wrist.

Her
tears only fell harder. “I’m sorry.”

“Tell
me one thing, Esral.” He growled her name.

Although
she hiccupped and sniffed, the tears stopped falling. “Okay.” Her voice was
still shaky.

“Do
you want me?”

“More
than anything.” The sincerity that shone from her blue orbs almost killed him
right there on the spot.

“Then
you are mine. I won’t let York or anyone else have you.”

She
gasped as he pushed her down on the bed.

“I
will make you mine. Forget the bullshit rules, your brother, my kings…” He
settled in between her thighs feeling her wet heat against him. “Every fucking
one of them can go to hell. We are meant to be together. You are mine,
princess.” He lined up his dick with her opening. Her wet, heat called him.
Everything about her called to him on so many levels that it scared him, but
the thought of losing her scared him the most. “Mine…just as I am yours.” He
growled, preparing to thrust deep inside her and ending this madness once and
for all.

It
was then that he realized how she pushed against his chest. Utter panic marred
her features. “No please.” She begged. “Stop, Xavier, stop. You have to stop.”

On
a snarl, he tore himself away from her. “You said you wanted me more than
anything. Why can’t we just be together? Your brother holds no jurisdiction
over me. You are considered to be a vampire. We choose to be together. What the
fuck?” He let a loud groan escape him. “You know I would never hurt you. Never
force you. Fuck!” He snarled again, thinking how close he had come to doing
just that.

“I
know.” Esral righted her robe. “I know this is hard for you to understand.
According to my people, I have been courting with York for some time. Some even
believe that I am pregnant with his child.”
