Present Tense (Out of the Fire #3) - Candace Blevins Page 0,15

to mention, he smelled so fucking good, she had to focus on keeping her fangs from dropping down.

In another hundred years, or possibly a hundred and fifty, she’d be strong enough to flip him over and hold him down while she fed. She could handle humans like that now, but not the strongest shapeshifters — and especially not the ones trained in martial arts, as she was certain her new kitty cat was. She closed her eyes and prepared for him to spread her open, prepared to have to hold off a while to feed.

“No, Kelsey. Open your eyes.”

She did as she was told, and it was like a punch to the heart. He was holding himself still, pressing her knees into the bed near her head, but clearly working to control himself harder than he needed to work to control her.

And those beautiful blue eyes were almost too much.

“You’ll use your safewords if I’m too rough. That’s an order.”

She gave a tiny nod, and her world shattered. The heat of him was suddenly rammed into her, opening her and spreading her. Invading. Conquering. Her cool walls were forced wide, stealing what little breath she’d had to start with. Her eyes opened even more, her mouth formed a huge O, though no sound came out because she couldn’t draw a breath.

And before she could adjust, or breathe, or scream, or even blink, he was moving. Out and then a sharp thrust of his hips and he was back inside her. Buried. He breathed in. Out. His finger traced her cleavage down to her bellybutton, burning a hot line down her skin. He grasped just below the backs of her knees, leaned his upper body’s weight on her legs, and then fucked her like a damned jackhammer. He was more rabbit than cat, in that instant. Her inner walls were pressed in and dragged out despite their slickness, because he was too fucking thick. Too much. He opened her too much.

And it was perfect.

Her heart raced in time with his. Her breathing came in gasps. Her clit throbbed to the beat of her heart. She drowned in his wild heat. His unbridled thrusts.

And the ache inside her grew, and grew, and grew until it threatened to consume her. She needed to come. She needed to feed. She needed her teeth inside him, his blood inside her while his fucking cock was.

“Bloody hell.”

“That’s one, Kelsey.”

He hadn’t slowed to speak, and it took a good ten seconds for her brain to make sense of his words. She’d spoken in her home tongue, so that was one.... one what? Strike? Point? Demerit?

She didn’t care, in that moment. She reached to her clit, but hesitated just before touching it because a growl rumbled deep in the kitty’s chest.

Moving slowly, she lifted both arms and then rested them on the bed, over her head. His strikingly-blue eyes told her he approved, but he hadn’t missed his rhythm even once.

Fabio wished he had three hours to fully explore this little baby vamp with soft hazel eyes that touched his soul.

But he was on a tight timetable, so after another couple of minutes of pounding her into the mattress, he let go of her hip and pressed the heel of his hand over her clit. In less than ten seconds, she was on the edge, and he pushed his cat down far enough to use his voice.

“Come, Kelsey. Let go. Give it to me.”

He made her come three times before he finally pressed into her, held, and released deep, deep inside her.

But he only gave himself a few seconds to catch his breath before he rolled them so she was lying on his chest.

“No painkiller this first time. Make me hard, drink me down, and give me an orgasm, but I want to feel everything. Not always, but for this first time, I need to know exactly what you do.”

He forced himself to relax. A skilled vampire can enter without too much pain, even without coating their fangs in painkiller first, but she was a baby vamp, and he knew it would hurt.

She didn’t argue with him — at least she’d been taught to accept the choices of the people who agreed to feed her.

The upper fangs struck and slid in, all at once, sharp pain, but not as bad as he expected. He felt her bottom teeth during entry, but then not so much. She backed her fangs up a little, looking for the artery, and then
