With the Sunrise(5)
Author: Fiona Davenport

“All night long, some part of me knew you were close, and I think my ring had something to do with the strength of that instinct. It can’t be a coincidence that I was drawn to this”—he lifted his hand, and the amethyst that was a perfect match for my eyes sparkled—“one hundred years ago and have been wearing it ever since.”

My fingers trembled as I reached out to trace the gem, jerking my hand back when it felt as though the stone sent a spark of electricity into my body. “It zapped me.”

“Earlier in the ballroom, it warmed as though it knew you were near and was urging me to find you.” Athan pulled the ring off his pinky and slid it onto my left ring finger. “I’m not sure how it’s possible, but I think the ring has been waiting all this time to be where it belongs. Just as I’ve been counting each and every day until I found you.”

That had to be the most romantic thing I’d ever heard in my entire life, which was apparently much shorter than Athan’s since I would turn twenty-one on my next birthday and he was hundreds of years old. But some part of me was still resisting the idea that everything could fall into place between us so easily. “It’s kind of hard to believe we’re meant to be together and only met by accident because my best friend and your brother are together.”

“I would have found you no matter what,” he vowed, tugging my hand until I tumbled onto his chest. “I’ve spent almost eight hundred years searching for you. Daywalkers are unable to feel sexual stimulation for anyone but our mate. When I touched you, my body finally stirred to life, and it was better than anything I’ve ever imagined. As was the sweet taste of your blood. Nothing could have kept me from you now that you walked this earth.”

The amount of time he’d spent without feeling desire boggled my mind. “There really hasn’t been anyone else for you in all that time?”

“Not a single woman has appealed to me on any level except for you.” He reached over and pressed my palm against his hard-on. “Even before we touched, I knew you were the other half of my soul. Our bond is undeniable, a connection beyond anything others of my kind have experienced before. And deep down inside, I know you feel it too.”

Athan

 

 

Selene’s hand curled around my thick shaft as she took in a slow, deep breath. “I’ve never, um…” She gulped, and her hand spasmed, drawing a groan from me. “I’ve never felt like this with anyone either.” She finished on a whisper, looking adorable with the pink stain blooming on her cheeks.

“We’ll learn together, love,” I assured her, running my hand over her silky hair.

“But...um…” She glanced away, and when her eyes came back to mine, her expression was nervous, the color on her face deepening to crimson. “You’re really big.”

It was probably not the smartest thing to do, but I couldn’t contain my hearty laughter. I quickly sobered when she looked sheepish and made a move to slide off me. I trapped her legs between mine and grasped her hands before rolling us over so that I was on top. I positioned her arms above her head and kept both wrists shackled in one of my hands. With the other, I trailed the fingers over her lips and along her cheekbone before cupping her face.

“Thank you for the compliment,” I quipped with a wink. The corners of her mouth tilted up, and humor sparked in her lovely violet eyes. “We were made for each other, Selene,” I reiterated as I ground my hips into her, rocking so that my cock rubbed against her pussy. “Our bodies, our hearts, our souls...they are perfectly intertwined.”

Some of Selene’s nervous energy had abated, but it was replaced with a different sort of restlessness. I saw the desire in her eyes, and her hips shifted against mine. Bending my head, I gave her a tender kiss. After a minute, I pulled back and stared into her eyes, not bothering to mask the raw, feral hunger I was feeling.

“Athan,” she murmured. Holy shit. When she said my name in that breathy, lust-filled tone, it was the sexiest thing I’d ever heard.

“I want to go slow for you, love,” I grunted as my control began to slip. “This first time should be sweet and gentle as I make love to my consort.” Selene whimpered and arched her back on my next undulation, clearly having hit a very sensitive spot. It only fed the monster clawing at my self-restraint. My jaw clenched from the effort it was taking to keep from coming again.

I took her mouth in another deep, consuming kiss and growled when I finally let her up for air. “I’m afraid that once I’m inside you, I won’t be able to control myself. I promise to make it up to you, love, but I’m barely hanging on. It’s taking everything I have not to drive inside you until I’m completely sheathed by your tight, hot pussy, then fuck you fast and hard over and over until you pass out. Then I’ll lick your raw pussy until it’s soaked enough to take me again.”

My hand drifted to the bodice of her gown, and I dipped a finger underneath, far enough to brush over her peaked nipple. Selene gasped and moaned, fighting against the grip I had on her wrists. It was hot as fuck, and I made a mental note to have restraints built into the wall at the head of the bed. One of these days, I would tie her up and torture her with my tongue between her pretty thighs. My mouth watered, and my fangs ached, wanting to drink from her engorged pussy.

“I don’t want sweet,” Selene choked out, drawing me from my little fantasy. I raised a brow, and she swallowed hard before licking her lips. My dick pulsed hard and wept, further ruining my trousers.

“What is it you want, love?”

“I don’t want you to hold back,” she panted.

I became distracted by the rapid rise and fall of Selene’s chest. Instinctively, I yanked down the center of her dress, ripping it from the top to just above her mound. The fabric fell away, and because it was a tight, corset-style top, she wasn’t wearing a bra. Her ample breasts spilled out, bouncing with her accelerated breathing.

Selene moaned when I bent to take a cranberry nipple into my mouth. “I want it exactly as you described,” she hissed.

I froze for a second, then rose so I could search her face. There was no fear, no hesitation, nothing but pure, unadulterated need. “You want to be fucked, love?” I growled, my body vibrating from my effort to restrain myself. Her cheeks burned crimson when she nodded, and fuck if that didn’t make me even hotter.

Giving her wrists a small squeeze, I watched her for any cues that I should back off as I instructed, “Keep your arms up here.”

She nodded, and I gave her one more quick kiss before sitting up to divest myself of my ruined pants. Selene sucked in a breath, and my eyes flew to her face, finding her gaze glued on my long, heavy cock. “You’re huge!” she squeaked, her eyes bulging a little.

“I’ll make it good, love,” I assured her as I grasped the tattered sides of her dress and ripped it the rest of the way down. The only covering left was a scrap of purple lace, and I tore it away just as quickly as the rest.

“Fuck,” I breathed as I took in the sight of her bare, glistening folds. Her arousal painted her mound and the inside of her thighs. My mouth watered, and I inhaled deeply, enjoying the sweet scent of her desire.
