“Yes and you were terrible at following the rules,” she replied and he grinned a sly grin.
“I always was,” he said and she laughed, looking much more relaxed now. He continued to inch up her shirt, caressing and tracing the shapes of her body. When he reached her breasts, James purposely brushed the sides with a firmer touch and just as he expected with a quiet almost inaudible sigh Lily leaned into his touch. “Uh oh, that’s breaking the rules,” He told her, pulling his hands away and letting her shirt drop.
The loss of contact with her skin was almost painful and he had to curl his fingers inward into a fist from grabbing her. Only his vow to take this slow and let her feel what she meant to him kept him and his hunger for her at bay. “What, what? I didn’t touch you,” she argued and he couldn’t resist a small smile.
“Actually you did, you leaned to me, that’s touching. I never said it had to be by your hands,” he teased and she huffed, but he could see she was enjoying this as much as he was. Once more he inched up her stomach, his finger encircling and dipping into her belly button teasingly before moving higher. Lily body grew stiff but this time it wasn’t from nerves if the look in her eyes was proof of anything. Slowly he lifted her shirt up and over her head.
Tossing it aside he took a moment to admire the view. “Hmmm,” he said as if in thought. “You’re still overdressed.”
“Well who’s to blame for that,” she replied placing a hand on her hip and that sight alone had his beast stirring. With low growl rumbling in his chest, he brushed a bra strap to the side caressing the soft skin of her shoulder with his lips. His caresses moved slowly down towards her chest. He laid kisses along the path to her other shoulder and pushed the other strap down. James moved to the spot just at the base of her neck where he planned to place his mark.
He kissed, nipped and gently sucked on the skin as he reached around her to fully remove the piece of clothing that kept him from the pleasures of her breasts. Once free, James moved around till he stood behind her. His hands never leaving her body. Nursing the spot, his spot on her neck James rose his hands from her stomach up to her breasts. Gently he massaged and tugged till she leaned against him, the sound of her pleasure in his ears and the scent of it filling him.
James moved his soft teasing kisses up her neck as his hands moved down across to her stomach to the button of her jeans. He nipped her neck softly, unbuttoning her pants, sliding his hand down to give her sex a gentle squeeze. Lily made a small gasp as her knees nearly buckled. His beast stirred with the sound and the desire to just take her right there filled him. Refusing the urge, James took his other hand and he buried it in her hair.
Pulling it softly, James pulled her back fully against him and her head back exposing her neck to him. He wondered if she realized the submission she was admitting to with the position. James teased and massaged Lily, kissing and nipping neck all the while beast growled in his mind. ~Mine. My mate. Won’t let her go now that she’s ours~ James pushed a finger inside her and felt her drop as her knees gave.
He released her hair and held her up against him as he pleasured her. She didn’t move her head to cover her exposed neck and then it hit him. Whether she consciously realized it or not, Lily wanted, maybe needed to submit. He could almost feel how alone she felt, fighting all her battles relying only on herself. With new found determination, James attacked her senses, pushing her slowly to the edge.
He would let her give in and submit to him, but he would never let her fall or lose who she is. The tightness of her body and the growing sound of her moans told him she was close. James took his hand from her, earning a breathy complaint. “Don’t worry sunshine, this is far from over,” he said, using Sandy’s nickname because that was what she had become to him- his sunshine, the light in his darkness. James walked around to face her, but his hands never leaving her body fully.
Kneeling before her, James unzipped her jeans and pulled them over her hips and down her legs, helping her step out of them. He ran his hands slowly up and along her legs until reaching her hips again. Hooking his finger in the soft material of her panties he pulled the thin material from her and finally freeing her of all clothing. James looked up at her, all of her. “What? Why are you looking at me like that” Lily asked, sounding almost self-conscious.
He smiled up at her placed a kiss on her thigh. “Sorry I couldn’t help myself, the view is amazing,” he said and before she could contest what he said, James kissed her thigh bit a little higher, making her gasp. He stood and moved her over to the bed and kneeled before her as she sat down. He ran his hands along her legs from her ankles up to her hips, he lips slowly following them. Pushing her legs apart, his hand found her center and his fingers resumed their pleasuring caress.
Lily’s whimpers of pleasure filled his ears as he continued to kiss the soft skin of her thighs and her scent filled him till it seemed to wrap around him in an embrace. With his beast urging and pushing, James gave in and once more removed his hand so that he could get a taste of her. He heard her take a sharp breath as his lips brushed her center. A quiet growl rumbled from him as he devoured her, she tasted even better than he remembered.
She pulled him closer and his name on her lips with breathless pants nearly sent him into a frenzy, but James held himself back still. He had to make sure Lily was well sated before letting himself find relief. Feeling the tension in her body announced her coming release James intensified his administrations. With a cry of pleasure, Lily reached her release and James took it all eagerly. He felt a slight tremble in her limbs as he kisses and caressed her legs.
When it ceased, James stood with pride as he looked at her. “Now I think I’m overdressed. Think you can do something about that?” He asked, letting her know this wasn’t over yet and Lily got a sly sexy smile.
“I think I might,” she said, her voice still rough and husky. She stood up, the smile still on her face, and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt. She unbuttoned the next one and then placed a light kiss on the part of his neck that met with his chest. Her lips may have been chilled with the vampire influence, but his skin burned where her lips touched him. Lily unbuttoned his shirt, pushing it aside as her hands moved along his chest, pulling a groan from him.
She kissed his chest, running her sharp teeth against the spot his mark used to be. Her hands stopped to his stomach and to his jeans. She removed his belt unbuckled his jeans, and then slipped her hand inside, gripping him. The touch of her fingers sent shocks through him. James let his head fall back, exposing his neck and showing her his submission to her.
He heard her make a soft growl and she leaned against him, biting his neck, enough to sting with light pain but not enough to break the skin as she moved slowly along his length. James gripped her hips tightly as Lily gave him a soft squeeze. He groaned wanting her to enjoy the control she had over him, but he didn’t want to go too far. He closed his eyes, reveling in the feeling her hands and lips evoked in him.
It wasn’t long before he hand to push her hand away from him. Panting like he’d ran for miles, James was at his limit. “I don’t want to finish like this,” he told her, preferring to be buried deep in her when he did. Pulling her against him James submerged his hands in her hair and kissed her, pouring passion and love into the kiss. Despite the passion raging inside him James lowered her slowly and gently to the bed.
Taking his time, he kissed and caressed every piece of her skin he could reach so that by the time he had reached her mouth, she writhed under him with need. As he kissed her, James almost swore he could feel a connection between them. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was the bond. “James,” Lily said breathlessly, he saw in her eyes that she could feel it too. She pulled him against her as if she needed to feel more and he was more than happy to give her more.
Nudging and moving in between her legs James entered her slowly. Yet again James had to steel himself to keep control. The simple feel of her around him nearly finished him. He moved slowly once he was confident of his control once more but kept his movements controlled and precise. With each drive James could feel the connection growing stronger, intensifying the feelings and sensations of their lovemaking.
Lily squirmed under him. “James,” she panted breathless, pulling his down against hers. “More,” she demanded. “I want more… faster and harder.” Defenseless against her command James let himself go, letting his hunger ravaged upon her. A smile of satisfaction spread across her face as soon as he did, sending him even further over the edge. His beast pushed at him and James felt the urge the primal instinct to claim her as his own flooded through him.
“Mine,” he announced in a guttural growl as their pleasure peaked and he bit down on her shoulder, hard enough to bruise but not enough to break the skin. A sharp sting of pain told him that Lily too had given into the instinct to mark him as hers and the lure of his blood to satisfy her thirst. Panting heavily, James held her as she drank from him. The words “I love you” nearly spilled from his lips, but he managed to keep them in.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say them but their future was so uncertain and he knew deep down she wasn’t ready to hear them.
