Marie's Blood Mate (2 page)

“
That was
amazing, Sil...”

Marie head
swam and she felt completely wanton.
Wanted
, for the first time in her
life.

He continued to moan
against her neck in a way that had her gasping with
need.

“
Marie... you
have the sweetest blood...”

His hands came up to cup
her breasts and his thumbs swept her nipples. Tingles of pleasure
speared her, making her ache and throb.

Marie moaned and rocked
her lower body faster against him. Heat swept down her legs and
rippled through her belly.

Then she lay on her back,
on her bed and alone. Sil had fled.

Marie stayed down on her
cold, hard mattress and slipped a hand between her legs to
investigate her body’s response. Slippery lips and sticky inner
thighs greeted her fingers.

Her body ached and her
mind was full of pictures of Sil. She couldn’t leave it like that.
Not when his reaction was almost as strong as hers.

Her life had been forever
ruined by a stupid and cruel nobleman three years ago. Lina had
taken her in, given her a job and kept her safe. But she wanted so
much more out of life.

Sil inspired a flame
inside her, a burning she had thought long extinguished.

Heedless of her near
nakedness she ran down the stairs to find Lina. Antony was kissing
her softly near the empty entrance, most of the girls now engaged
with clients.

“
Lina, I’m
sorry... please... Antony...” She babbled and moved from foot to
foot in her excitement and apprehension.

The two vampires turned
to her, their pleasure-glazed eyes clearing when they saw her
running towards them.

“
Marie,
what’s wrong? Where’s Sil?”

She gasped from the pain
in her side. She’d run too fast down the stairs.

“
He... he bit
me and we were... and he left.”

Tears sprang to her eyes
as she felt the loss of him once more, and she wrapped her arms
around her body. Lina and Antony took a deep breath, smelling her
arousal.

Marie blushed but pushed
forward. She couldn’t lose the one person who made her feel more
than a mere ghost of who she’d once been.

“
Would you
take me to him, please?”

Lina and Antony exchanged
glances. Antony took off his coat and wrapped it around
her.

“
I
will.”

Marie gasped as he swung
her up into his arms, still barefoot. Lina’s lover shouldn’t be
holding her like this, it made her uncomfortable.

“
It will be
faster if I carry you.”

That did make sense and
Marie forced herself to calm down. She put her arms around Antony’s
neck. Lina reached out and touched her with a gentle hand, stroking
her cheek slowly. Marie smiled at her long-time protector as a red
tear slid down Lina’s cheek.

“
Go to him,
my girl. I have the feeling you won’t be coming back.”

Nervous excitement beat
hard in Marie’s chest and she nodded.

“
Thank you
for everything, Lina. I will see you again?”

Her Madame smiled and
reached across to stroke Antony’s cheek tenderly.

“
I love you.
Take care of her.”

Antony leaned into Lina’s
hand for a moment and then the wind whipped by Marie’s face, her
eyes unable to keep up with how fast they moved. She closed her
eyes and held on tightly to Antony’s muscled arms until they
stopped.

“
Open your
eyes, little one.”

Marie heard Antony’s
voice and did his bidding.

They were inside a dark
room. It was warm from a glowing fire and almost empty. Antony set
her on her feet and she turned to the sound of Sil’s deep
voice.

“
You should
not have come.”

Marie moved closer, her
eyes adjusting slowly to the dim light, seeing the man she wanted
more than any others seated upon a large chair.

“
I’m not a
child, Sil. Please don’t send me away again.”

Antony stepped up next to
her, bowed deeply then disappeared, leaving them alone. Marie
unclipped Antony’s jacket and allowed it to fall.

Sil moaned and shifted in
his chair.

“
I am over a
thousand years old. You don’t know what you are asking.”

Marie knew one thing. She
wanted him if he would have her. Any life with Sil was better than
one as a whore. She unbuttoned her dress and let it fall to the
floor.

“
I know I
want you. I beg of you, please don’t send me away. I could stay
with you and let you feed from me. That is... if you want...
me.”

Marie gestured to her
body and looked down at the ground, embarrassed.

Sil’s gentle fingers
lifted her face up.

“
Of course I
want you, Marie. That isn’t why I need you to leave.”

She threw her arms around
his neck, pressing her body against his and looked up into those
gentle blue eyes. “Please, I need to feel this way for more than
one moment in time. When you fed on me and I saw those pictures in
my mind... I love it so much. My body wants you as it’s never
wanted anyone before. Please.”

Sil put his hands under
her bottom and lifted her up against him, pulling her legs around
his slim waist.

Then they were sitting
back in his chair and Marie’s head was dizzy again. It would take a
long time for her to get used to the speed with which vampires
moved.

“
What did you
say?”

Marie gasped as she
pressed her aching body against the hard swell between his legs and
began to move.

“
Sil, I want
you.”

She reached down and
removed her chemise, her nipples pebbling in the cool
air.

Sil looked down at her
breasts, his cool, capable hands coming up to weigh
them.

She arched her back,
pushing the flesh into his palms.

“
Oh please,
Sil. Please.”

He dropped his head and
pulled her up to him, sucking one of her nipples into his mouth.
Pleasure arrowed down between her legs and Marie threaded her
fingers into Sil’s hair, holding him to her.

He ripped her bloomers
off her with one flick of his hand and she was completely naked.
“Touch me, please.”

Sil chuckled at her
impatience and Marie didn’t care. Her pussy throbbed for him. She’d
never needed anything more in her life than to know the pleasure
felt during love-making.

Sil flicked his thumb
over her swollen clit and she yelped, writhing in his
lap.

Marie forced her eyes
open and looked down at Sil’s lips. His fangs were extended but
that wasn’t what she wanted yet. She wanted a kiss.

She pulled his face up to
hers and pressed her lips to Sil’s, revelling in what was
essentially her first real kiss as he slipped a long finger deep
inside her.

Something inside her
shattered at that moment. She moaned and convulsed, digging her
fingers into his shoulders as her body exploded with
pleasure.

“
I shouldn’t,
Marie...”

Marie heard Sil’s words
against her ear and moved down to free his straining cock from his
breeches.

Determined to have
everything he had to offer and give everything she had to give,
Marie raised herself up and felt the large head nudge her wet outer
lips. She smiled as she pressed down, feeling the slide of Sil’s
cock as it forged a new passage within her. He was large but she
kept pressing down until she encased him fully.

Sil gasped and threw back
his head, gripping her hips hard.

“
Marie, you
feel like Heaven...”

She smiled and began to
move, rocking her hips and building speed, listening to her own
body and his sounds of pleasure. The wave built again, the heat
roiling through her blood.

“
Oh my God,
Sil...”

She panted, threw her
head back and let it take her.

Sil thrust into her hard
and fast, moaning his own pleasure until Marie imploded and he bit
into her neck at the same time as his seed pulsed into
her.

“
God….”

Marie saw flashes of
images, more vivid than the last pictures. Sil younger, Sil human,
amazing colors and feelings imprinted on her mind.

When he drew back, she
smiled down on him and bent her head to kiss him once
more.

“
Thank you,”
she whispered against his soft lips.

Still inside her, Sil
reached up to caress her flushed cheek.

“
Tell me what
you meant when you said you saw pictures when I fed on
you.”

She smiled dreamily, her
eyes sliding shut. She nestled her head on his shoulder and sighed
happily.

“
Last time I
saw you with Lina and two other people, but this time I saw you as
a younger man. I love you feeding on me.”

She was beginning to
drift off to sleep but Sil’s shaking shoulders brought her quickly
back to reality.

Marie opened her eyes and
lifted her head, devastated to see blood red tears sliding down
Sil’s papery skin.

“
Sil, did I
say something wrong?”

He shook his head, his
hands stroking down her naked back reassuringly.

“
I’d given up
finding you hundreds of years ago. I thought I’d missed out on my
chance for a blood mate.”

Marie stroked Sil’s face,
wiping away the tears that had finally stopped flowing. She didn’t
understand what he was talking about.

“
A blood
mate?”

He nodded and leaned
forward to kiss her tenderly before pulling back to
explain.

“
A blood mate
is a person predestined to be your mate, as Benedict is for Lina
and Antony. Their blood is the sweetest thing they’ve ever tasted
and they will see your memories when you feed on them.”

Marie’s relief was so
acute, tears welled and slid down her cheeks.

“
So you won’t
get rid of me?”

Sil chuckled and
tightened his hold on her.

“
Never. We
will be bonded and then I will turn you. We will be together
forever.”

Marie didn’t want to
wait.

“
Turn me now,
we don’t need anyone else. Please.” She tilted her head and leaned
closer.

Sil frowned for a moment,
then looked longingly at her neck.

“
I usually
perform the mating ritual myself. I will speak some words and then
you may also say something. Then I will turn you into my immortal
lover.”

She nodded, waiting
impatiently on his lap.

“
Marie, after
a thousand years, Fate has sent me the one person designed for me.
My feelings are hard to express. Ecstasy, joy, relief. I will spend
the rest of our existence looking after you and loving you. For all
time.”

Marie’s eyes welled with
hot tears once again and she bit her lip in an attempt to stay
them. She was marrying Sil, more than marrying him. Committing to
love him and stay with him for eternity. She should have felt
overwhelmed but all she could do was rush into her own vows, lest
he change his mind.

“
Sil, I knew
the moment you saved me you were special. When you touched me, I
wanted you as I have wanted no other. Please turn me now so I can
stay by your side and love you forever.”

One more red tear slid
down Sil’s cheek as he exposed his long, white fangs.

“
Not long,
lover.”

And he bit
her.

Marie closed her eyes and
held him to her. He drank and drank, her life leeching out of her
and into him. She welcomed the darkness, knowing he would find her
and only then could she begin the rest of her life.

The End
