Mira by Leighann Phoenix Read Free Book Online

the room spinning around her, and she began to feel very tired.   To avoid thinking about the monster drinking her life from her, she concentrated on the feeling of his cock inside of her.   The tired drifting feeling was accompanied with a gentle pleasure from where their bodies were joined.   Mira moaned at the memory of what he did to her moments before, and she pressed her hips against him, feeling his cock press more deeply inside her, as he continued to drain her body.   Eventually darkness settled over her, and she lay still.
                Rillan sat back and looked down on her motionless form.   She was paler now that he drained her.   She slept softly.   It was a rare thing, when he considered keeping one of them with him while she slept after the feeding.   As he thought about her hips pressing against him while he drank from her, even after she saw his face, there was a little piece of him that wanted to hope.
                Anger quickly took over his mind.   He was annoyed with himself for letting her get to him.   Mira is as frightened as the others.   The girl merely has a more lascivious side to her than the others.   Growling, he got out of the bed and pulled on his breeches.   Leaving his tattered shirt on the floor, he went to the corner of the room where he threw her dress and grabbed it.   Tossing it across her body, he picked her up off his bed.
                I’ll have to lock my door in future, in case she goes wandering again, he thought angrily, carrying her to her own rooms.   He muttered and fumed the entire way there, not knowing why she had gotten to him so badly.   By the time he reached her bed, his temper had cooled somewhat.   He laid her down with a reluctant gentleness and stared at her a moment.   Rillan put her dress across the arm of a chair nearby, and returned to her side.   He carefully pulled the blankets back and covered her, taking the time to brush her hair from her face and arrange her in the bed so that she looked comfortable.   He felt like he was looking for excuses to stay near her.
                Rillan started to lean down to kiss her cheek.   It had been a long time since a girl managed to spend a first night with him without running, no matter what time he spent preparing them for it.   Suddenly anger hit him again, and he pulled himself away.   He stormed from her rooms, slamming doors behind him.   Give her time.   She’ll be like all the rest, he told himself.  
                When Rillan reached his own room, he threw the covering of the shaft closed.   Dawn was approaching, he could feel it.   He couldn’t believe how much time he kept her here.   Crawling into his bed, he smelled her on his sheets.   He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, allowing the nightmares to come for him as they always did.
     

Chapter 3
     
                Lilith gazed around the room at all the druids present.   “So what do you propose, should the rumors be true?”
                One of the younger men looked at the old woman with concern.   “Can we survive without him?”   He cleared his throat nervously, knowing how many of the others would feel about the idea he was about to propose.   “It has to be said.   I mean, if Tiberius knows about the vampire, would we be safer to get rid of him?   Before he’s found that is.”
                A fearful murmur ran through the assembled crowd.   Many of them had been thinking it.   No one was willing to say it.
                A young woman stood indignantly forward.   “We keep him for our own purposes for centuries only to discard him when it seems things may become difficult?”   She glared at the druids who seemed to be agreeing with the idea.   “I can’t believe we could be as callous as those he was created to protect us from.   There must be another way.”
