I’m here, baby. I’m right here inside you.

She’d never experienced this closeness with anyone, this need to merge completely with another individual. Derek knew what she needed and he was with her, everywhere. Over her, under her, around her, inside her.

Her body began to shake and she released his neck, pounding her hips onto his. The orgasm swept her away, hard and fierce, like Derek, who rolled her beneath him and fucked her like a beast, pumping his cock through the grasping spasms of her climax.

Sable held onto sanity by a thread as he built another sweeping tide of pleasure in her veins. Powerful and insistent, their need for each other would not be denied.

Wrapping her legs around his hips, she felt his steely buttocks clench and release against her calves as he propelled himself so deeply into her body that she felt him in her throat. She screamed as another orgasm claimed her.

Her eyes flew open in astonished pleasure and she met his gaze—dark and possessive and hot with passion. His face was flushed and sweat dripped from his forehead to splatter onto her skin. His fangs glistened in the semi-darkness and she arched her neck to him, wanting to gift him as he’d gifted her. It had ceased to be just sex and they both knew it. Better yet, they both welcomed the added intimacy.

As he pierced her skin, she felt his shaft swell and then jerk inside her, his scorching come spurting out in powerful jets that brought her to the brink of pleasure and then shoved her over. Her back arched into his chest, her blood poured freely into his seductively sucking mouth, her pussy gripped his spending cock in a fist of silk. And in her heart, she felt Derek demanding entry.

She opened the door and let him in.

Chapter Six

Derek closed the tiny punctures he’d left in Sable’s throat with reverent laps of his tongue and willed his heart to slow its fevered thumping. Making love with her just got better and better. He could feel the power her touch gave him flowering in his body. He rolled to his side, taking her with him, relishing the feel of their sweat-slicked skin stuck together.

I like the feeling too.

Derek looked down at Sable in surprised pride and awe.

She grinned at him. I love the way you smell after sex. You smell like me—power and pure male vampire. It’s very yummy.

He gifted her with an exuberant kiss. “You’re calling me.”

She nodded shyly. “Every time you touch me, I grow stronger. I’ve been feeling your strength building within me since the first time we made love.”

He nodded. “It’s the same for me.”

“What does it mean?” Her smooth brow was marred by a tiny frown. “Is this normal? I never felt like this with Marius.”

Derek caressed the length of her spine. “I don’t know what it is. But I like it.”

“Me too.” Her fingers drew invisible drawings on his chest. “So what happened after I left last night?”

He knew she was asking about Jeffrey Leroy. “You were right. Jeff is getting a little piece of action on the side.”

Sable pinched his nipple, renewing the desire within him. He’d never been so physically attuned to a woman before. It was unnerving, in more ways than one.

“Where did you get that tuxedo you wore last night?”

“Someone reminded me yesterday that it was Retro-bration here on Rashier 6. I picked that costume up at a shop in town. Just in case.” He smiled with lascivious intent. “You looked stunning last night in the slinky dress you wore. We’ll have to keep that around for some off-duty use.”

She tweaked his nipple again and blood rushed to his groin. “We may get that downtime you wanted a little earlier than I anticipated.”

He shoved a pillow under his head to look into her eyes. “How so?”

“I spoke with my captain last night. He’s going to assign another agent to partner with me on this case. He’ll divide the remaining agents from your field office between us and hopefully, we’ll get done twice as fast.”

“While the news is good to my ears, I want to know how you feel about that.” He brushed his fingertips along the side of her face. “I wouldn’t think you’d like having to share a case you worked so hard on.”

She gave a little shrug that strove to be nonchalant and almost succeeded. “I’m okay with it. Work doesn’t hold the same appeal that it used to. Maybe I’m just a little burnt out.”

Or maybe I’d rather be with you.

Derek kept his face impassive as her thought entered his head as clearly as if she’d spoken it. She was still so new to calling, she didn’t know how to shield herself yet. And he didn’t mind. His heart leapt at the simple declaration and he held her tighter. “So what’s the plan for this evening, baby?”
