You"re behaving like a lovesick teenager. Hey, no one said anything about love. Just a good boinking.
Erik"s face was a serious mask that confused her. His eyes gleamed in the glow of her porch light. Leah c.o.c.ked her head at his fierce expression. "Is everyth-"
Rushing her, he grabbed her around the waist and pushed her roughly up against the far wall. Bracketing her head with his hands, he ground his stiff c.o.c.k into her groin.
His voice was hoa.r.s.e and thick when he spoke. "I couldn"t stop thinking about you today."
Leah squirmed and thrust her hips back at him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Really? And what were you thinking?"
Teeth grazed her neck as he pressed against her more firmly. Leah"s body jolted at the impact, sharp pangs of electricity shot through her. "I was thinking I need to finish what we started last night."
"Right here?" she teased as her hands explored the hard planes of his back beneath his shirt.
"Now," he growled, tugging her sweats down with a rough yank and spreading her soaking wet flesh with hard fingers.
Moaning loudly as she rode his hand, she bit her lower lip to keep from screaming. "Far be it from me to stop you." She whispered between teeth tightly clenched. Sliding her hands inside his pants, she ran her nails through his thick thatch of pubic hair.
Erik hissed, "I brought condoms, lots of condoms. We should have taken better precautions the other night and tonight I want the real thing."
Oh, yes, she thought distractedly, humans have all those diseases to worry about, even if they don"t have intercourse. Oh, oh...she was having trouble staying on task here as he ran his fingers through her c.u.n.t, swirling them over her c.l.i.t.
Condoms... She was a vampire, she didn"t need a condom.
Well, you can"t tell him that, now can you? Or you could opt to watch Jack LaLanne"s really cute a.s.s fly outta here on the wind. Go ahead. Tell him you haven"t had s.e.x in almost a century, so you"re quite certain that you"re disease-free.
She circled Erik"s c.o.c.k and wanted to feel the silken heat of it in her, minus the condom. "I"ve been tested, I"m disease-free and I"m on the pill." Yeah, the stupid pill, if you think he"ll fall for that.
He stabbed his tongue at her lips. "Me too, I mean, I"m not on the pill but I"ve been tested. I"m clean." If only he knew how little that mattered.
Leah tore at his pants, shoving them down as she kicked her own off, and held his c.o.c.k firmly.
Erik hiked her up and she wound her legs around his waist. His thick shaft rubbed against her. Her heart began to pound wildly, slamming against her ribs and threatening to suffocate her. Leah lifted her hips and Erik bent his knees, letting the tip of his c.o.c.k rest at her entrance. She clung to him, waiting.
His eyes narrowed as they locked with hers and his hips moved slowly, teasing the slick pa.s.sage. She rocked against him, savoring the moment and anxious to have him deep within her all at the same time.
Erik gave a hard thrust, filling her, making her gasp loudly. He remained still inside her, teasing her. Her nipples tightened as his hand found one and tweaked it, rolling it to a stiff peak. Leah"s eyes slid closed and she let her head rest against the wall. His c.o.c.k was thick and hard in her, pulsing as they stood clamped together tightly, neither moving. She clenched her muscles, pulling him deeper. Erik thrust again, hard.
Her hands slid between their bodies as she freely explored his hard belly, coming to rest at his waist. Leah couldn"t wait any longer, she began to entice him with movement, using her legs as leverage to impale him. The heat of his c.o.c.k fired through her, a silken slide, wet and slippery.
Erik groaned and began to drive into her with quick, impatient jabs. Her shoulders shook with each thrust as he took her with fierce strokes. She felt the crisp thatch of hair above his c.o.c.k sc.r.a.pe her c.l.i.t, tantalizing as she glided on his thick shaft, wet with her desire. Erik suckled the hollow of her neck, ma.s.saging her a.s.s, molding her to him.
The sharp pang of heat grew and spiraled outward, throbbing in her veins with the force of a tidal wave. Leah clenched her muscles around him, riding him to madness. Gripping his muscled shoulders as he plunged into her one last time, she came on a scream. Erik followed right after, coating her with thick spurts of his seed.
Leah slumped against him, clinging to him as he carried her to her bedroom. Jeez, he was strong, strong enough to carry her.
What a man!
Well, let"s not forget you"ve lost a little poundage there, girlie. Seven pounds, not seventy. He carried her as if she weighed nothing.
Erik slid out of her and dropped her gently on her bed, going in search of a cloth. She lay naked and blissful as he washed her. G.o.d, he was fabulous and she didn"t even care if he saw her naked.
His finger ran over the plane of her nose. "Hey, you okay?"
Leah stretched, allowing her pleasantly sore body to absorb these latest events.
"I"m great, you?"
He climbed onto the bed next to her and pulled her close. "I think I"m pretty good."
She heard the smile in his voice, "Just pretty good? I just schtupped your brains out and all you have to say is you"re pretty good?"
He chuckled, "I don"t know, it might have been better than pretty good, great even. I think we need to do it again, just to be sure."
Leah let her head rest on his chest as she brushed his c.o.c.k with her hand. She mocked a sigh, "I suppose if you"re really nice and make me some more of that yucky health drink we might be able to shoot for great."
"Hey! Yucky? I thought you liked it?"
Leah buried her face in his neck and laughed. "Well, it certainly isn"t a chicken wing."
Chapter Three
Two weeks later, Leah jumped out of bed with a zing in her step. She"d been seeing Erik for two weeks now, two weeks worth of some serious working out. In and out of bed. If she had a pulse it would quicken when she thought of him and that brought with it some really troubling issues.
He"s human, human, human. She gnawed her nail as she stepped on the scale. She knew before she even put a toe on it, what the results would be. She was averaging anywhere from one to five pounds a boff. She"d figured it out the other night. Each time she and Erik did the wild thing, she lost weight. That had to be it. The one night he wasn"t able to drop by, she"d gotten on the scale the next morning and nothing. Boffing a human was making her skinny. When she was done with the happy dance, she"d realized something else. Erik didn"t know why she put him off for dates in the afternoon, why she wouldn"t go rollerblading with him.
Because he was a human. Oh, she could go out in the daylight if she was careful. She did most everything humans did.
Well, there was the blood thing, might turn a human off. And her life span might be a teensy problem.
He"s huuuuummmmaaannn, a rude voice chimed in her head.
Don"t you think I know that? Her father would kill her. Her family would disown her and she"d be pretty much cooked.
d.a.m.n. Of course, Erik had no idea she was a vampire either.
Look, Erik, wanna see my fangs? Why couldn"t anything be simple?
Leah sighed as she turned on the shower. She needed to talk to someone, get it off her chest. She"d call Patty. Patty would understand, she"d give her the "poor babies" she needed...
"I did a human," Leah paused and waited for her friend Patty"s outburst. She held the phone from her ear and tapped her newly polished nails on the countertop. Leah winced at the string of expletives. Oh, now that was quite a word, she didn"t know Patty had it in her.
"Ya done?"
"What are you thinking, Leah? That goes against every single vampire rule known to man. You are so f.u.c.ked, my friend!"
"Um, yeah...I was. It was the best f.u.c.k of my life." G.o.d knows she"d had a few of those...lives and f.u.c.ks. And she"d never lost a pound...
"Leah, do you hear me? We are absolutely not supposed to mess with humans. Why do you always have to live dangerously? Why can"t you just slake your l.u.s.t the old vampire way?"
"Because no vampire turns me on like this human does. We"re not getting married, just s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g. What"s the big friggin" deal?"
"Does he know you"re a vampire?"
Leah sighed loudly at her friend"s question. "No. He does not know I"m a vampire, though, I think he may begin to wonder why we can"t do lunch sometime soon."
"Well, my friend, you have to break it off and quickly."
"No, I will not break it off. I"m getting the schtupping of a lifetime and I"m loving it. Hear me, Patty? I will not listen to these silly vampires who want to rule my life. I"m four hundred and twenty freakin" years old. I think I"ve got the gist of how to take care of myself by now. I"m very careful about being with him. I don"t think I should have to be, but I am. My father"s prejudice against humans is ludicrous. We don"t go anywhere anyway."
"That"s "cause you"re too busy s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g!"
Leah smiled at the phone. Among other things... "Look, I called for support not a tongue-lashing, okay? If you don"t want to be supportive then don"t."
"Don"t you dare hang up this phone on me in a huff, Leah Adams!" She heard Patty sigh loudly into the phone. "I want to be supportive, I do, but when your father finds out you are going to be in so much trouble it"ll make that vampire head of yours spin. You know how he feels about humans."
Well, there was that. Leah shuddered. Tough s.h.i.t, I ain"t givin" him up, not while I"m turning into Tyra Banks.
"So I"ll just toy with him "til I get him out of my system and then I"ll dump him." At least until I"m one hundred and ten pounds, anyway.
"Leah, I hate to tell ya this, but you"re not the toying type. You"ve never toyed with anyone. You"ve dabbled, never toyed."
Oh, so what? "Well, I"m toying this time, okay? It"s not serious, I promise." She felt a pang of guilt over those words. They weren"t true at all, if she were honest with herself. Lying to Patty was in essence denying her feelings for Erik aloud. d.a.m.n, this was a predicament. She was falling hard for him and denying that was like denying Erik"s importance in her life. And he had become important. She was having a hard time remembering what life was like before him.
s.h.i.t.
"I hear the words coming out of your mouth, friend, but I don"t believe you."
"You don"t have to believe me. I don"t do what I do based on whether you believe me."
Patty snorted into the phone. "Humans smell, how can you stand it?"
"Oh, they do not. Look, I"m having a great time, the best I"ve had in like centuries, so lay off and let me have a little fun."
"Sure, Leah, I"ll lay off while you get laid and just ask for trouble."
Leah hung up the phone before Patty could poke another hole in her erotic bubble. This wasn"t serious, just some serious s.e.x.
Some d.a.m.n fine s.e.x if she did say so herself.
You have to tell Erik...
She couldn"t tell him. He"d run out of her house screaming. She"d never dated a human before, she didn"t know how to go about telling him. Besides, they were just fooling around. Her world was small and filled with many vamps, vamps who were vampire-human haters.
Some things were better left unsaid.
Erik finished up his workout and headed for the shower. His thoughts automatically turned to Leah. Man, she was incredible, hot and s.e.xy and had an a.s.s that could make a man come just looking at it. His c.o.c.k was in complete agreement as it rose to wink at him.
She was also losing weight rapidly, which disturbed him. She"d been giving it her all, working up her stamina. Still, she shouldn"t be losing weight at the rate she was. She"d laughed at him and told him that"s what she"d hired him for wasn"t it?
Erik lingered under the hard spray, letting his thoughts drift to an idea he"d been chewing on all week. It was impulsive, no doubt, but he didn"t think straight when it came to Leah.
He and Leah had a connection he"d never shared with another person. He couldn"t wait to get his hands on her only minutes after he"d left her. She made him laugh with her jokes about chicken wings and her work habits. Leah made it clear her job was important and they wouldn"t see much of each other during the day. But she devoted all of her off hours to him, cooking for him, or sometimes he"d bring her takeout from the health food store. She"d scoffed at his love of tofu, wrinkling her cute nose at it.
Erik"s gut clenched as he soaped his chest. She was getting to him in ways he never expected and he wanted to do something about it.
"Let"s move in together."
Leah pushed out of Erik"s arms and looked into his eyes. He was serious. They were sitting on her couch watching a movie when he sprang it on her.
Oh, c.r.a.p.
"What? We"ve only known each other three weeks," she balked.
"But you have to admit it"s been a h.e.l.luva three weeks." He grinned at her and kissed her forehead.
"Yes, but that doesn"t mean we should move in together. I mean, I stay up late at night. You like to be in bed by eleven. You like to work out, you"re the only person on earth that I know who likes tofu..." I"m a vampire...
"But think of the things that we could do before eleven..." Erik cupped her breast and thumbed her nipple, making it tight and needy.
Leah groaned. d.a.m.n him and his hands.
"Listen, Erik I don"t think we should jump the gun here. I love being with you and I love making love with you, but we"re very different people. We should get to know each other a little better."
Stall the human, Leah.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, I"m not saying we should do this tomorrow, but I just want you to give it some thought. "Cause I"m hot for ya, woman." Leah giggled at him and did her best to hide her concern.
Wait "til I tell you I"m a vampire, then we"ll talk about giving something thought.
Like that could ever happen. This was getting deep and she was falling hard.
Oh, saints alive, what the h.e.l.l was she going to do now?
