Wicked Surrender (10 page)

“God damn,” he said, his throat so dry it was a croak. She rubbed her hands through his short hair and it took every ounce of
his
will not to roll his eyes into the back of his head. She was trying to distract him. Fuck that.

“What was in the aphrodisiac?”

“Vampire blood.”

His arms looped around her waist and brought her flush against his big chest. She gave a soft little sigh and snuggled into him. Damn she smelled good, felt good. He wanted to lift up her dress and feel all the glorious skin that he knew was baby soft, but he needed to know something first. Something that had been driving him crazy all day.

“Why didn’t you want me to take you from behind today?” She stiffened so quickly against
him;
it took a second for his mind to register the change. The soft woman he’d been holding now felt like a block of ice. She started to pull away so he snatched her wrists to keep her there, locking his arm tight around her. And she fought him, he could feel her using her strength to push against him...testing him. When she finally lifted her gaze to his it was hard
—
all the heat of the moment gone like a blown-out match.

“That’s none of your business.”

“Yes it is. I’m here to protect you, which makes it my business. There’s something between us, which also makes it my business. And I want to be inside you right now, which really makes it my business. I swear I’m not going to leave you alone about this until you tell me.”

She looked away, rolling her eyes. “There’s nothing between us right now but your ego.”

“Bullshit,” he said holding her closer, forcing her
down
into his arms. “Don’t lie to me, Vera. I don’t know what this is, I’ve never felt this
before,
and I’ve felt a lot in my life. Fear, horror, pain, shock, but this...I know you feel it too. Tell why you didn’t want me to.”

It was an order if she’d ever heard one. And she didn’t know what it was. It could have been his order, his persistence, her worry over the Kategan land, or some evil fairy sitting on her shoulder goading her, but she looked away and told the truth.

“Dmetri used to be aggressive in bed. I loved it. I think...I craved it.” His whole body clenched beneath hers and she rushed to finish. He was so much like an Alpha that she to keep reminding herself he was only human. “Now I know it
wasn’t him. I loved him
. I let myself go with him completely, gave him everything I had, and it wasn’t enough.
He didn’t want me
anymore and...” S
omehow, she kept her voice soft and low.

“Since him I’ve never let a man dominate me in bed or anywhere else. It was in bed that I lost a piece of myself to him.” She laughed, the sound unsteady and high. “I used to always be so afraid to let myself go, completely, sexually. With Dmetri, I
got
to do that, I got to give the reigns of control over to him. I guess a part of me is afraid that if I lose
that
control again, it will just happen all over again. I really don’t think I could survive two broken hearts.”

This time when she pulled away, he let her go.

She went to the window and watched the night sky rain.
It beat against the window
,
filling the room with dull tings.

Jacks’ mind was processing her words at the rate of a dialup connection. His heart was heavy in his chest yet beating fast like he’d been running. He wished like hell there was a training manual on what to do in this situation.
He was left with no choice
but to listen to his instincts. He
strode
to the window, spun her
around,
and caught her against him.

It was
as if
she’d been waiting for him this whole time. She wrapped her arms around his neck like he was her lifeline. He’d always been an honest
man;
it was something his mom had taught him from a young age.

So when he cupped her cheek, tilted her lips towards
his,
and said, “You can trust me. I don’t know h
ow or why yet, but I know that
I’m not going to leave
you
alone. There’s something about you that’s captured me. I don’t know what it is, but I’m going to find it, figure it out, and along the way I’m going to learn every inch of your body.”

Vera shook her head in desperation. “No, no, no.” She was still repeating the word when he bent down and captured her lips in a hard, dizzying kiss.

He let up for air, pushing her back against the wall. His big, rough hand found the edge of her dress and was lifting it, then he was touching her bare bottom with a greedy, hungry touch. The ache inside her
deepened
and bloomed.

“Yes, baby.
Yes.
You know this is something, right here between us, don’t deny it.” He leaned down to her ear and in a ragged voice said, “I hate liars, baby.” She couldn’t think with him touching her. His hands were on both off her ass cheeks, squeezing and keeping her close with his possessive touch.

The tip of his finger slid between her cheeks and only the strap of her thong saved her from his intimate, brandishing touch.

“You are all about control, aren’t you baby? I see it in everything you do. Hell, it’s even in the perfect way you make the bed every day all crisp and fucking neat. You could have been a good soldier baby. But this right here,” he said against the speeding pulse at her neck, “Tell me, did Dmetri claim this part of you too?” He stroked a finger over her tight anus and she gasped, clinging tight to his shoulders.

She tried to find words, but sensations were
ricocheting
through her body, and her mind was receiving dirty images of Jacks
’
cock sliding in her ass. Her pussy clamped tight and her nipples formed into little hard pebbles.

He groaned, and rubbed her tender opening back and forth, soft but demanding. “I take your silence as answer.” He found her mouth again, his single finger still possessi
ng her with his teasing caress. He
thrust his tongue inside her, claiming her. She kissed him back with a hungry sound.

When he finally pulled back from her wet lips, his finger was still there, rubbing a little harder.

“I’m going to take you here, Vera. I’m going to make you feel something you’ve never felt. You’re going to love it, too. You’re going to come with my cock in your ass, and then I
’m going to fill you full
.”

His husky, dark words ended with the sound of zipper being pulled down. Vera didn’t know which of them did it, didn’t care so long as his cock was free. Her thong was shoved to the side as he wrapped one slender thigh around his waist, and then his cock nudged her wet, soft pussy and stabbed inside.

Mutual groans filled the room as
ecstasy
made a home in their bodies. Cursing, his hand wrapped in her hair, hold her still for his kiss as he shoved into her with a brutal
rhythm
that slammed her back and butt into the wall with each thrust. She loved the rough way he took her, the way his cock spread her open and filled her deep.

“
So
you’re wet and soft. Never felt anything like it.” His cock stoked the fire inside her, moved her towards a peak so high she was afraid she’d never get there or never come back down.

A new pressure below registered through her muddied mind.
His thick finger, still in the cleft of her cheeks, teased her bare opening, then push
ed
a fraction inside.
Vera gasped as his finger retreated then pushed back in just a little farther. It was a filling, sexy touch, and the new sensation sent her soaring towards her release.

Vera’s body froze for one slow, endless moment of time, and then her hips rocked and shook, sending his finger deep, his cock deeper inside. Her pussy clamped down on his hard cock, milking, sucking as her orgasm shattered through her body until she could feel it from her head down to her curling toes.

When it was
done,
she realized he wasn’t finished. He was moving again, even harder than before, spurred on
by her creamy orgasm. His hand
moved from her hair down to the base of her neck to cup her possessively, like an Alpha. Then his lips found the delicate skin of her throat and nipped at her as his cock tunneled through her soft, tight pussy with eager, quick thrusts.

She could feel his approaching orgasm by the swelling of his cock inside her. She relished the thought of him shooting deep inside her.
The
finger down below
retreated, circled around her own cream seeping out from her pussy, and he used that soft wetness to push his finger inside her anus and didn’t stop until his finger was all the way in.

Vera moan
ed
high, panicked, feeling completely consumed as his cock and finger filled her so deep and wide.
Oh God, she’d never even thought about this. Had never known it could feel so
good.
She panted as he slowly pulled that finger in and out, in and out. She knew what was happening, what he was doing to her, even as it stunned her.

Her breathing grew fast and shallow
,
and her eyes closed so that the only thing she had left to do was feel his cock shoving through her tight pussy and his finger moving faster, faster. Her hips jerked hard
as an orgasm ripped through her. She bit her lip to keep from crying out
,
and he growled against her throat
, greedily
pressing more of those delicious licks and nips there.

Intense pleasure bubbled through her, spilled out of her and around him.
His rhythm grew rougher, faster, his finger moving smooth and quicker inside her, and then he pushed in hard, bit down and shouted
on
her shoulder as his cock spurted endless, long, hot spurts of cum inside her.

They stayed that way for awhile, until Jacks found enough strength to retract his finger and cock from her body, and kiss the teeth marks he’d put in her perfect skin.
B
eing this close to her
,
feeling her in his arms made him feel...lighter, good.
He’d never had that before and he didn’t know
what
to make of it.

When he looked into her soft, foggy
eyes,
he knew
that
she didn’t either.

Chapter Eight

Vera awoke to wonderful, sexy sensations. She blinked her eyes and barely had time to register that Jacks was sucking her nipple into his mouth, when he growled, jerked her thighs open, then shoved into her.

Vera gasped at his rough passion, her hands
flew
to his shoulders, but he caught them with his
own
and held them above her
as
his hips slapped hard against her.

She was still warm and wet from the night before, from his semen still inside her. She gasped as tight pleasure built inside her with each quick shove. His eyes were foggy with sleep, his breaths fast and loud.

She tried to move her arms, but he growled at her, his teeth nipping at her shoulder. Something hot pooled inside her. She had no choice but to take what he was giving her. It must be her sleep-addled mind because she closed her eyes, let him hold her down, and take her body.

He moved quicker inside her, balls slapping against her, and then his quick pace grew jerky, his breathing heavy. She was so close, just a little more and she would...

He licked her pulse and
bit down over her throat.
Vera cried out as her orgasm spun out of control. Pleasure consumed her, so hard and intense that it bordered on pain. He held her down by her
arms
, her hands, and whipped his hips through her milking pussy until finally landing deep. He jerked against her, his hips twitching as his cock filled her with a
deluge
of cum.

When he was done, h
e extracted himself and sidled next to her. His
hands came up to cup her cheek, gently caressing.
She blinked and looked at him. His expression was unreadable. A mask that she yearned to yank off and see what he was really feeling.

He started to roll away, but she stopped him by rolling on top of him. He didn’t hesitate but wrapped his arms around her. Something was happening between them, and it may be one sided, but Vera recognized it as clearly as when it happened the first time. She was falling in love.

“Tell me about your family.” She rested her cheek on his shoulder and watched the emoti
ons flicker across his face. G
rimace, frustration, anger. Finally he looked down at her and seemed to come to some kind of conclusion.

“I was born and raised in northern Texas.”

“Ooh a cowboy at heart.”
