resolve steadied her features instead as her fingers gingerly pulled the lace upward to sit around her hips.
“Higher,” I said, wanting to see if she was as wet as I suspected.
Willow shuddered, her eyes briefly leaving mine as she brought the fabric up to her stomach. I placed a palm against her lower spine to hold her steady as I leaned back just enough to see her pretty pink flesh.
Mmm, yes, she was very thorough with that razor. I was almost jealous. Next time I’d groom her myself and taste her afterward. Because the sight of all that glistening interest made my mouth water. Alas, we didn’t have enough time for me to properly enjoy her now. So we would do this introduction a different way.
“This is why I don’t need your verbal cue,” I told her. “You’re wet for me, Willow. But I dare you to call me My Prince right now and tell me to stop.”
Her blush darkened, her lips parting on soundless words.
“Your submission is beautiful,” I whispered, pulling her forward once more to press her slick heat against my aching groin. Just enough to taunt her with a hint of the pleasure to come. “And now, I’m about to make you burn so much hotter.”
Willow’s pupils dilated. However, I caught the challenge in her gaze. She wanted me to prove it. Or perhaps that was her way of attempting disobedience—a promise not to react.
Poor sweet pet had no idea what I could do to her. But she was about to find out.
I pressed my lips to her ear again and lowered my voice. “You’re going to soak my trousers all the way through, and I’ll wear your scent for the rest of the night. Everyone will know I played with you before arriving. They’ll crave a taste, but I’ll forbid them. Because you’re my pet, and I’m not fond of sharing.”
This new society might try to require it, but I refused to comply.
Because fuck Lilith’s rules.
Willow’s thighs tightened around mine, her arousal increasing from my words alone.
I smiled against her neck, pleased with her reaction.
“Mmm, we haven’t even properly started yet,” I murmured, running my nose along her sensitive skin to her pulse once more. I inhaled deeply, her attraction a heady scent in the air, coupled with the seductive taunt of her blood. My tongue traced her thrumming pulse, causing my dick to throb in my pants.
Fuck, it’d been a long time since I indulged in a woman, and having this one under my roof for two weeks hadn’t helped matters.
I pressed my palm into her lower back, forcing her hips to grind against mine, the friction an addictive tease I wanted more of. “Ride me,” I whispered. “Chase your pleasure, Willow.”
She clutched my shoulders, the dress falling to pool between us and stealing my view. But I didn’t care. I wanted her to lose herself, to drive herself into an oblivion by using me for her pleasure.
I sucked and nipped her throat, her neck, her collarbone, then returned to the place I needed to bite. There was no sense in drawing it out. I could feel her readiness through my trousers, and I could hear her soft intake of breath that told me she was losing herself to the moment.
She just needed a push, and I provided that with my mouth.
My incisors bit into her flesh, straight to her vein, causing her to scream in surprise. But the second her euphoric receptors kicked in, she began to moan.
It was all give-and-take between us—her blood in exchange for pure rapture.
She came apart on my lap, her body unaccustomed to my vampiric kiss. Something incoherent left her mouth, the sound one of surprise, which told me she’d never experienced an orgasm of this nature before.
I merely smiled in response, but her essence on my tongue kept me focused on the task of devouring her.
Willow’s flavor was wickedly unique.
Potent.
Almost supernatural in nature.
However, I sensed her humanity, too. Taking too much would weaken her, and as an older vampire, I didn’t need much to survive.
But fuck, she really did taste amazing. And if I wasn’t mistaken, a hint of lycan lurked in her veins.
How riveting.
I licked at her wound, forcing my teeth to subside. Then I kissed a path down to her breasts, desiring to mark her there for everyone to see. She gasped as I tugged the neckline of her dress down to sink my fangs into her tit, just above her erect nipple.
Willow immediately convulsed again,
