Everlasting Hunger (The Hunger Mate Series) (15 page)

             
Ellie opens her eyes slowly and looks around at the bedroom.  She made it through the transformation.  She faced down death and survived it.  The scariest moment in her life was the first glass that Jasper placed in her hands.  She knew he would never intentionally harm her, but she had to take his and Ian’s word that she had the component needed for a successful turn.  It’s not always easy to put faith into someone else, especially after what she had been through with Adam. 

             
As she lies in the bed, she becomes aware of the sound of the shower running.  Propping herself up on the pillows in the king-sized bed, she is hoping that Jasper will come out quickly and join her in bed.  Moments later the water turns off and Jasper opens the door, striding out in nothing but a towel that Ellie is eager to yank off him.

             
“Hello, Jasper.”

Turning at the sound of the sexiest voice he has ever heard, Jasper gasps at the sight of her. 

“Hello yourself, gorgeous.  I was wondering if you were ever going to wake up.”

Jasper stroll
s toward the bed.  She smiles at the rampant thoughts pulsing through his head. 

“Do you really see
me as a seductive predator, Jasper?”

“You are breathtaking, gorgeous.”
             

Making room for him, she smiles as she snuggles into the curve of his body.

“How long was I out for, Jasper?” 

“About sixteen hours, love.  I was getting ready to start working my way up your body to see if I could get a reaction from you,” he says with a sexy smirk.

              In a move so quick, humans would have missed it; Ellie flips him on his back and straddles his waist.  “What’s stopping you now, lover?”

  Running his hands up and down her back, Jasper looks into her eyes.  “You are going to need to drink and get something to eat before we have that marathon session of sex I promised you, my love.” 

Pouting at the seriousness of Jasper’s tone, she leans down and kisses him on the lips.  “But, Jasper, I have everything I want right here.”

Jasper sits up against the headboard and pulls her into his lap.

              “Sweetheart, in a few minutes you are going to be in a really grouchy mood because you are going to be hungry.  You are like a newborn babe right now and will need to drink on a regular basis.  We have to build up your strength, Ellie.”

             
Ellie looks at him in confusion. 

“How am I supposed to drink?  I don’t seem to have any fangs.”

She runs her tongue and then her finger across her teeth.

Jasper smiles at her. “They will come in after you have your first meal as a vampire, love.  Are you ready to get started or do you want to go freshen up?”

“I will go freshen up and be back in a few moments.”

             
Jasper watches as Ellie heads to the bathroom and shuts the door.  Closing his eyes for a moment, he is stunned by how easily she seems to be grasping the concept of being like him.  Saying a quick prayer that it stays that way and she doesn’t have any major problems, Jasper gets up to throw on a pair of workout shorts.

             
Climbing into the center of the bed with his back to the headboard, Jasper waits for the sensual creature that’s now Ellie to come back to him. 

“Jasper,” she asks as she comes out of the other room. “Why can’t I hear you anymore.  Is something wrong with me? Am I broken?”

Jasper smiles at the concern in her voice.  “No, beautiful.  I’ve blocked my thoughts to you for the time being.  I didn’t want to overwhelm you till after you had some blood.”

             
Ellie stalks to the bed and gracefully leaps up on to it with him.  Crawling into his lap, she snuggles up against him and Jasper wraps his arms around her. 

“Jasper, do I have to kill someone to get a drink or just go to a blood bank?  I don’t really want to hurt anyone.” 

              Jasper pulls her tighter as he tries to decide how to answer her.  “Ellie, as a new vampire, you are going to make mistakes.  There is always a chance that you will not be able to stop and will take too much blood.  I would like it if you considered staying with me until you learn the ropes and feel comfortable on your own.  I have also talked to Miguel and he has agreed to be your guide and make sure that you don’t run into any problems when I’m not around.”

             
Ellie looks up at him with devilish laughter in her eyes.  “Jasper, are you asking me to move in with you?”

Jasper kisses her on the lips and turns her around so her back is to his chest.  Moving her hair to the side, he kisses the side of her neck. 

“Yes, Ellie.  I’m asking you to move in with me and be my lover.” 

Feeling the goose bumps on her arms, he smiles knowing that his words are turning her on. 

“First things first, gorgeous.  I need you to drink from me.  I’m old compared to most of the vampires in the Mid-west and my blood will be strong and help you to find your teeth.” 

             
Ellie nods her head and leans her head back into his shoulder.  Reaching for the knife on the bedside table, Jasper slices his wrist again to get her started.  Holding his arm in her hands, Ellie leans forward and tentatively licks the drops of blood from his wrist.  Jasper laughs silently at the feral growl from her throat as she proceeds to devour his wrist and take as much as she can get.

             
Ellie is amazed at the velvety taste of Jasper’s skin and the flavor of his blood.  The need for more is overwhelming and she can’t bury her human teeth any further into his wrist.  She moans when she feels Jasper’s hand slide under the hem of her shirt to cup her breast in his hand.  Thrusting it deeper into his palm she groans when he begins to stroke the nipple and pinch the tip to make it hard.  Feeling a tingling in her gums she continues to milk the blood from Jasper as his hand moves down her stomach and into the shorts she is wearing. 

             
Spreading her legs to give him better access to the part of her body that’s aching for his touch, she gasps at the sensitivity of her flesh when he runs his hand through her curls.  Struggling cause she is not getting enough blood from his wrist to satisfy her craving she drops one of her hands from his wrist and grabs the hand that’s between her thighs.  Showing him what she wants, she nods in approval as he thrusts his fingers deep into her wet flesh and she explodes when her fangs sink into his wrist. 

             
Jasper is astonished at the sensual beauty that is Ellie as she drinks from him while he pleasures her body.  Feeling the climax rip through her body as her fangs came in and plunged into him was one of the best sexual experiences of his long life.  It’s no wonder he’s falling in love with her.  Who would not love someone as generous and caring as she is?

             
Watching as her climax starts to wan, he pulls his fingers out and strokes the soft curls at the juncture of her thighs in a soothing gesture. 

Tugging at his wrist, he whispers in her ear, “Lover, you need to let go now.  I have more blood for you but you are going to have to release me.” 

The sensual feel of her fangs slipping out of his flesh is almost enough to have him spill himself in his shorts and that would be embarrassing. 

             
Ellie turns and tugs his shorts down so that his erection springs free.  Looking at her passion filled eyes and seeing the drop of blood on her lips makes Jasper want to sit up and beg her to suck him until he explodes between those luscious lips.  Groaning aloud as Ellie leans down and encloses him in her mouth as if reading his mind, Jasper winds his hands in her hair as she works her way up and down on his thick pulsating cock.  Feeling her work her tongue and teeth along the ridges, swirling the tip as she pulls out and then drags him all the way to the back of her throat causes him to thrust faster.  He works his throbbing cock in and out of her mouth in a blatant imitation of what he will be doing to her in a few moments. 

             
Ellie reaches down and rolls his balls with her hand and feels the tell-tell sign of his impending climax.  Humming in the back of her throat in approval, she swallows his seed as he holds her in place buried deep in her throat. 

Grinning as she looks up at him and licks her lips. “I want more, Jasper.  You better be able to recover quickly.” 

As he tosses her off of him, he lunges toward her and pins her to the bed.  “I think you will find that I recover just fine, gorgeous. “ 

Capturing her lips with his, he kisses her with all the passion he has, slowly lowering the walls he has in place so she can feel his thoughts.
