forever,” he demands as he carries on thrusting, our moans echoing around the room. I don’t need to be told twice. I brush my lips across his shoulder, choosing the spot where his neck meets his shoulder, and then bite him, tasting how delicious he is. His teeth slam into my neck at the same time, and euphoria as I’ve never, ever felt courses through me. I cry out in pleasure as an orgasm so intense crashes into me, taking hold of my body as Ren finishes inside of me.
Breathlessly I come back to Ren, the shower, and how he holds me in his arms.
“If that is mating, I want to do that a million times over,” I say, and he laughs, kissing me softly.
“Master vampire mating is said to be the most pleasurable form of sex in the world. Why do you think there were so many half-vampire children?” he asks, and I giggle. I totally get it.
I lean up, sinking my hands into his hair and kissing him softly once. We turn off the shower and climb out, wrapping up in towels before heading back to the bed. Ren holds me closer to him as we lie down, and I listen to his beating heart under my ear.
“Do you want to talk about what happened with the angels?” I ask.
“The light above wanted to make sure I learnt my lesson, and his favourite angels helped. I did not give in, so he didn’t give up. I passed out at some point,” he tells me. “When I woke up, Riley was there, and he helped me. Gave me medicine and blood, no doubt what kept me alive.”
“Riley helped you?” I question, not believing it. “Seriously?”
“Yes,” he tells me. “It surprises me as much as it does you.”
“When I was escaping the prisons, Riley threw a sword at me, and Masita jumped in front of me. He would have killed me, and he did kill her,” I explain, and I kiss his cheek when he stares at the ceiling, anger shaking his whole body. When he finally calms down, his heart rate returning to normal, he brushes my cheek with his hand.
“Aala?”
“I’ve sort of adopted her. Aala might have problems with separation anxiety, but who could blame her? I want to show her that not everyone is killed in her life. Is that okay?” I ask, and he cups my cheek.
“I will love her as my own because you love her,” he responds. “You have a beautiful soul, my queen.”
“And you know how to flatter a girl, my king,” I reply, hooking my leg around his waist and rolling on top of him. He grins and slowly unpeels my towel.
“Only you, Kaitlyn. Only you.”
Chapter 61
Glancing at myself in the reflection of the river near my feet, I wonder what the queen of hell will think of the vampire king and queen who are dressed in casual clothes. Not a crown in sight. My black T-shirt hugs my curves, hanging just over my skinny jeans and knee-high boots. Thankfully, Madi is just as casually dressed as I am, but she has a blue cloak covering her shoulders. Myles, Thallon and Henry stand just behind me and Ren, and Madi is stood to my left, while one of her mates, Warren, stands in the river. The water crashes around his waist as he closes his eyes and grips a staff in front of him. A wave of black coloured magic spirals out of the staff, infecting the water around him, and then it happens. The water crawls onto the shore of rocks and spreads until it makes a large shimmering portal, and slowly the water clears to reveal the queen of hell on the other side.
“Lexi!” Madi cheerily greets her, and she grins at Madi until her eyes drift to us. There is a big pause, then a look goes between Lexi and Madi that can only come from a deep friendship.
“Madi, are you sure?” Lexi asks her, and Madi glances at us.
“The vampires have never had leaders as good as they do now. Their race should not be destroyed because the angels want to keep their secrets. Vampires are born from angels,” Madi answers, and a rush of emotion fills me. Madi is a good person, and I hope we will be friends one day.
“As are demons,” Lexi adds in, her eyes finding mine. “In some ways, that makes vampires and demons siblings. Family.”
“We need your help,” I say and bow
