Blatant hunger burned in that look. He yanked his eyes back to meet hers.
She expected him to grasp the elastic of her panties, but instead he bent to slip off the sandal and toss it onto the floor. He was going to make her wait, she realized. Damned if she let him.
Her fingers closed on his belt buckle. He sucked in his stomach to give her room to undo the clasp and slide down his zipper. His impressive erection sprang free, held only by his boxers. She slid her hand in to caress him through the silk and earned a low hiss for her efforts. She caught a glimpse of his fangs. The sight sent a pleasure-tinged shiver through her.
She pushed his trousers down over his hips, linking her fingers through the elastic of his boxers to push them down as well. He stood to slide them off and toss them on the growing pile of clothes. Then he joined her back on the bed.
Jaelyn couldn't take her eyes off him. She followed the contours of his body with her gaze, taking in his broad shoulders that tapered to slim hips, the taut muscles of his thighs and the hard length of his erection. He slid over on the bed so he could lie down beside her.
His cool hand slid down her flat stomach to her tiny lace panties. His finger dipped lower, caressing her through the lace. She felt a hot rush of wetness at her core. He teased her again until she uttered a groan
of frustration. He laughed at the sound, but obliged her by pulling down her panties. She lifted her hips so he could take them off.
Finally, she lay completely bare before him. She should feel vulnerable. He was, after all, nearly a stranger. Instead, her new vampire strength hummed within her. Blood called to blood as if she'd known him forever. He gazed down at her, his eyes filled with longing and none of the self-assurance she'd seen there before. A dark curl tumbled down to rest against his forehead. She reached up to push it away and then pulled him down toward her.
His weight settled gently on top of her, pushing her against the downy comforter. He shifted, the broad head of his erection settling at the juncture of her thighs. She bucked her hips, showing him with her body just how much she wanted him. But he made her wait. He lowered his head, brushing her lips with a feather-soft kiss that sent little shivers all the way down her spine. He deepened the kiss, using his tongue to preview what he wanted to do to her body. She moaned against his mouth, demanding more.
Vlad slid an arm beneath her neck to raise her throat. His mouth left hers to trace the long line of her throat with searing kisses. His lips hovered over her pulse point. She felt that barest of touches all the way to her sex. He cupped one breast. His thumb flicked over her nipple, raising it to a taut peak.
Beneath his skin, his blood sang to her. She moved her mouth to press a kiss against his throat. Her incisors scraped his skin, earning her a low groan. Now he was impatient. With his knee, he spread her legs wider and thrust gently inside her.
Slowly, he began to move. She matched his rhythm, raising her hips to meet his. Her body responded, far quicker than it usually did. Already the tight heaviness grew inside. Vlad quickened his pace and she followed him.
She gripped his muscular biceps, letting instinct guide her mouth to his shoulder. His breath gusted across her neck as he sought her vein.
Desire coiled tighter. Her teeth pierced his flesh. The shock of his blood rushing across her tongue sent her over the edge. She heard Vlad's deep groan of release before his fangs penetrated her throat.
Orgasm rushed over her in a dizzying wave. Every mouthful of his blood sent another tiny peak of pleasure rushing down her spine. Every movement of his mouth against her neck shot sensation straight to her sex. Together they rode out the crest of their pleasure until finally he drew his mouth away.
Jaelyn followed his lead. With the tip of her tongue, she licked away the last of his blood and let her head fall
