The sexual encounters he’d experienced overthe years were all brief. The women were all more hesitant thanVicky was about anything. Hunters took virgin wives; it was the wayof things, and what they were supposed to want, but he wantedsomething far different. And he wanted hernow.
Without thinking, he pulled his truck into aparking spot and turned it off. He removed the keys and strodetoward the hotel. The doorman opened the door for him and gave anod of greeting. He barely glanced around the elegant interior ofthe five-star hotel as he made his way to the elevators, but heunderstood why Vicky insisted on showering and changing beforereturning here. This was the kind of place that looked the otherway for money, but a woman stinking of earth, with dirt streakingher, was sure to attract unwelcome attention.
He should return to the stronghold, where hebelonged, but he found himself watching the numbers on the paneluntil they stopped on the eighth floor. This was the worst mistakehe would ever make with his people, and Vicky might tell him to getlost. He couldn’t get his feet to walk away from the elevator.
No matter how he tried, Nathan couldn’t denythis constant pull he felt toward her as he pushed the callbutton.
His foot tapped as he waited for theelevator to return. With a ding, the doors slid open in front ofhim. Vicky’s scent assailed him when he stepped inside and hit thebutton for the eighth floor. Out of habit, he kept his head downand away from the cameras as the elevator ascended. When the doorsslid open, he stepped into the hallway.
He didn’t look at any of the other doors ashe followed her scent to her room. Stopping outside her door, hehesitated there. What was he hoping for here? There could never beanything lasting between them. There shouldn’t beanythingbetween them at all; they were far too different. He was the leaderof the hunters, her vampirism should attract him as much as a dogdid, yet it excited him.
He should walk away, go back to hisapartment, takeanothercold shower, jerk off, or findanyother woman to slake his lust before returning to thestronghold. However, the idea of anyone but Vicky repulsed him.
Before he could stop himself, he knockedthree times on the door. There was only the briefest of pausesbefore it opened to reveal her. Nathan’s cock became so rigid, hefeared breaking the button on his jeans.
His gaze raked over her curvaceous body,covered only by a skimpy red bra and matching, see-through thong.“Fuck.”
“That’s not going to happen,” Vicky said asshe rested her hand against the doorjamb and stuck out her hip.When her gaze dipped to the erection straining against his jeans, apleasant ache spread between her legs, but Vicky would stick to herguns on this. If she didn’t, she might be condemning herself todeath. Doing this would push her toward dead-woman-walking status,but she couldn’t turn him away. “I can ease us both, but nosex.”
Nathan barely processed her words as hedrank in the sight of her lush breasts pushed up by her bra.Against the lace of the bra, he spotted two silver hoops, and hismouth watered when he realized her nippleswerepierced.
Then, his eyes ran over her flat stomachwith its lean muscles and rounded hips before settling on thetriangle of neatly trimmed blonde curls between her legs. Her skinwas an enticing golden hue all over.
“Come in,” she said.
She crooked her finger, beckoning himforward with a look that somehow managed to promise sin andredemption. Too fixed on watching her as she sashayed away, hedidn’t move. She stopped near the bed and turned to face him.
“Are you going to keep standing there, orare you going to get your ass in here so I can make you come?”
It was the best invitation he’d ever had. Hestepped into the room, closed the door, and walked toward her. He’dalways taken the lead with women, but he was very interested inseeing where this would go.
“Remember,” she said when he stopped beforeher, and her hands fell to the button of his jeans. “No sex.”
He buried his disappointment. “Nothingyou’re not willing to do.”
She smiled at him as she stepped so closeher breasts brushed his chest while she undid his button. “Thereare so many things I’m willing to do to you. Boots and pantsoff.”
CHAPTER 15
She stepped away from him and watched as hekicked off his boots before his hand fell to the waistband of hisjeans. Her heart hammered in anticipation while she watched himslide his boxers and jeans down his tapered waist and powerfulthighs before pulling them off. Her gaze latched hungrily onto hiscock when it stood proudly out from his body. A bead of moisturealready glistened on the tip of its thick head.
Vicky couldn’t stop herself from licking herlips as she stepped closer to him, gripped the end of his sweater,and pulled it off. The bronzed hue of his skin, stretched taut overlean muscles, was more tempting to her than the box to Pandora.
It wasn’t lost on her that she was openingsomething between them she could never take back, that thetreacherous path she walked could result in her madness or death,but it didn’t stop her from bending to run her tongue over hischest. Moving lower, she tasted the saltiness of his flesh as shetraced the dips and hollows of his corded abs.
She’d never considered herselfself-destructive, maybe she was, but she couldn’t bring herself tocare about the consequences of this while her hands were runningover his flesh to grip his taut ass.
Before she climbed into the elevator, sheknew he would come to her. She hadn’t seen him park, hadn’t seenhim enter the building, but she’d sensed his need for her, andeverything in heryearnedto ease that for him. She’d put onthis bra and underwear set for him and waited. It took him lesstime to arrive than she anticipated.
When he clasped the back of her head, shestiffened. Nathan rested his lips against her ear. “It’s okay,” hewhispered. “Nothing you don’t approve of, but I want to touch youtoo, Victoria.”
Nathan almost assured her that she wasworthy of his touch, but he suspected she’d revolt if he did. Vickyremained rigid for a minute; then, she released his ass. Herfingers skimmed up his back and around to his chest before circlingone of his nipples. At first, he’d been curious to see where shewould take this, but now he didn’t try to take the lead because hefeared it would frighten her.
Turning him slowly, Vicky nudged him ontothe bed. When he sat on the edge of it, she stepped between hislegs. Nathan braced his arms behind him and savored the happinessplaying across her face as she explored him.
When her hand dipped down to cup his balls,pleasure speared him. She rolled them in her palm before strokinghis shaft. With her thumb, she rubbed the bead of moisture formingon his cock, spreading it across his head.
Vicky shivered as Nathan’s thighs claspedagainst her sides and his dick jumped in her hand. Her nipplespuckered until the feel of the flimsy bra became too much againsther overstimulated skin. Releasing him, she reached behind her toundo the clasp at her back.
