Present Tense (Out of the Fire #3) - Candace Blevins Page 0,14
turn-off, and yet, she still might have. She’d found that having sex with most men nearly always gave her more power over them than stringing them along. Even as a submissive, it gave her power.
As a human, she hadn’t thought in terms of power, but as a vampire, she’d quickly learned how the world of the supernaturals worked. She was on the bottom of the pile in everything — magical powers, financial power, and friends in high places. She hoped she’d gain two friends in very high places by working for Drake Security, since she’d be working for The Dragon King and the Amakhosi.
But Fabio wasn’t treating sex as a given. He was being clear it was up to her, and he was here to feed her — sex or not.
“Your wish is my command, kitty cat. How do you want me?”
The blue of his eyes was like lasers, focusing on her even more, zeroing in, and she suddenly felt like prey. “Every way, Cupcake.”
Cupcake? What the fuck?
But then there were no more thoughts because she was on her back, the kitty on top of her, and the heat of his mouth taking hers. Lips. Tongue. Teeth.
She had enough restraint to keep her fangs from dropping, but his teeth on her lower lip nearly evaporated her control. He moved away from her mouth, kissed his way down her jaw, nibbled her earlobe, and then set his teeth around the tendon at the side her neck while he licked.
“Fuck!”
He bit a tiny bit harder, then harder again, and then let up and licked everywhere he’d bit. She knew there were teeth indentions because she could feel his tongue lapping over them.
“Soon. Not yet.”
“It was an exclamation,” she told him, “not an order.”
“There’s that Aussie accent. So fucking sexy. Too bad you’ll have to completely lose it.”
He licked all around her nipple and then bit there, too — but not with his front teeth. With his back teeth.
“The kitty likes to bite?” It came out breathier than she intended, but she couldn’t help it.
He clamped down a little harder, and her clit pulsed furiously between her legs. Her heart raced in her chest, and she didn’t bother to try to control it.
Finally, he let go and licked again, then sucked, and her groan filled the room because he may as well have been sucking on her clit, the way it reacted.
“The vampire likes to be bitten with human teeth.”
She’d liked it as a human, too.
He released her nipple and licked it to soothe it. “There’ll be consequences for not sounding American, even in bed, Cupcake. Not for that slip, since you didn’t know, but we had a household meeting without you today, and we’ll have one with you tonight, before we take you to Drake HQ.” He moved up, so his face was over hers, looking down. “Now you know. I’ll start keeping count from this point forward. You don’t need to know what the consequences are, only that you don’t want the count to grow.”
He put his cock at her entrance, and she moved her legs a little farther apart to give him room. She hadn’t pegged him as a missionary sort of lover, and she had a feeling he wouldn’t stay that way for long.
He lifted a single brow, and she stared at it. She could never manage it, and she thought it unbelievably sexy.
“No complaints about preparing you?”
“I’ll be fine, kitty cat. A little pain spices things up nicely.”
She felt his dick pulse, and she couldn’t help her smirk. “Don’t hold back. My safeword’s red if it comes to it, but I doubt it will.”
He sat back on his knees and pushed the backs of her legs up until her feet were in the air.
“Let’s alter that a little. Yellow means I need to back off on the pain but you don’t want me to stop. Red is full stop, get off the damned bed and don’t fucking touch me again.”
She met his gaze. “I haven’t had the luxury of a safeword for some time. I negotiated it before coming here. I doubt I’ll use either if it’s just sex, but I’m happy they’re available.”
Her safeword was only available during sex though. Not for punishment, unfortunately.
And then his fat cock was back at her entrance, the head pressing in. The heat of his body over and around and so close to being inside her made her want to lick and bite and suck, but it wasn’t time yet. Not
