By the time he was on the brink, she wasn’t far behind.
Néomi let herself go completely… .
This was what he’d missed out on. This was what he’d ached for.
Inside his woman, he’d never known greater pleasure. He’d been waiting his entire life for this… .
She threw her head back, arching. Her long hair swept over his thighs. Clutching his legs behind her, she rode him faster. Her br**sts quivered as his c**k disappeared inside her again and again.
Seeming lost in her own pleasure, she writhed on him, raising her slim arms, stretching and twining her hands over her head. She held her elbows as she whipped her hips.
When she twisted her body at the end of the motion, he rasped, "My God, how you move."
With each snap of her hips, the pressure to come built within him, but he vowed she would first. "Want you to – " His words died in his throat when she lowered both of her hands, letting them graze down her body to her sex. He shuddered out a breath as she began masturbating atop him.
"Néomi!" His control slipping, he drove up between her thighs hard, bouncing her on his shaft.
But she gasped in delight. "Do that again… ."
He released her br**sts to cup her plump ass, working her up and down his length as he thrust at the same time. "You like that?"
"Yes!" she cried, rubbing her clitoris faster.
"Come on me, Bride."
"Oh, yes!" Her eyelids fluttered, she licked her lips, then she moaned loudly.
In total abandon, she climaxed.
All around his cock, he felt the tugging clench of her sex. Control slipping. Her sheath seemed greedy for his seed. He could barely resist the demand.
Instinctive drives overwhelmed him. He wanted to obey them. Mark her, claim her, bite her. He needed his scent all over her, in her. He needed her blood on his tongue.
Before he could stop himself, he turned her to her back, shoving her legs wide.
Pinning her hands over her head, he began pumping his hips between her thighs. "I’m losing… control. Néomi!"
His eyes were wild. His massive body loomed over her, his muscles rippling with strain. He could do anything he wanted to.
Néomi had feared she would never experience Conrad like this – her powerful warrior, captive to his own fierce need. Now she could, if she believed in him, if she trusted him not to hurt her.
She surrendered herself…
As if he sensed her yielding to him, he rose to his knees to take her with more force. Gripping her shoulders to hold her in place, he plunged his shaft into her again and again. She’d never known anything like this – being taken without mercy, helpless to do anything more than accept the pleasure.
With each buck of his hips, he gave a short, rough groan, each growing louder until he was yelling.
Her head thrashed on the pillow. "Conrad… " she moaned, lost in another boundless orgasm.
"I feel you coming on me… " He clutched the back of her neck and rasped, "You’re mine, Néomi." With his body tensing all around her, his eyes met hers as he began to ejaculate inside her. His expression turned to one of shock, then anguish. As soon as she felt his hot seed jetting so strongly within her, ecstasy lit his face.
He held her gaze… until his back bowed and his head shot back from the strength of his release. On and on, he filled her. She dimly heard his husky murmur: "Nothing better… nothing."
With a final shove, he collapsed atop her, his breaths harsh against her neck, his heart pounding over hers. Still semihard in their wetness, he continued to thrust over her slowly, as if he didn’t want to relinquish his new discovery.
He muttered, "My God, Néomi."
She grazed her fingertips up and down his sweat-slicked back, sighing with contentment. "I could die happy," she sighed, then frowned. I will die happy. No, she wouldn’t consider it dying. She was leaving – simply moving on to a new existence. And after sharing this body with Conrad, allowing them both to know this pleasure, she was even more confident with her decision.
He never would have experienced this if he hadn’t been blooded… .
"How could I have lived without that?" he grated. "I never knew." He’d demanded… everything from her. She’d seen it in his eyes as he came. He’d wanted her to yield to him, to desire him, to love him.
And she did love this vampire, with all her heart.
When he raised himself up, he gave her a sexy, cocky grin that made her breath hitch. "I was good, wasn’t I?"
She reached up and stroked his face. "The best I’ve ever had or imagined." When he went still, she said, "It’s the truth. Some men are just instinctively better lovers."
The grin returned. "Imagine when I practice on you five times a night."
"I can’t wait." At her murmured words, his shaft jerked inside her, hardening and thickening so fast, she gasped.
"Time for practice, koeri."

"Where did you go this morning?" Néomi asked, once she’d finished savoring the most delectable croissant ever crafted in the history of mankind.
After the second time they’d made love, he’d been ready – and raring – for another round, but she’d groaned, "Food. Your mortal needs food."
He’d asked her what she would like if she could have anything in the world. "A hot, buttery croissant, with café au lait and fresh-squeezed orange juice." So naturally, Conrad had traced to France and brought exactly that back to her.
"I had errands to do," he answered. It was then that she noticed his hair was freshly cut, though it remained a tad too long, as she liked it. The ends were still wet from his quick shower. And he was wearing crisp new clothes – understated, dark, but unmistakably moneyed.
He was handsome as the devil, and with those fiery eyes, he looked more than a little devilish.
Forever the red would remind her of fire.
"Errands? Like what?"
"I’ve brought things for you." He handed over shopping bags that said Harrods on them. Lots of bags. Apparently, he’d been to London as well. "You needed clothes. And there are… gifts." He coughed into his fist, his voice gruff. And she knew with certainty that he’d never bought anything for a woman before.
There was everything – shoes, dresses, sweaters, slacks. She found a toiletry kit with shampoos, perfumes, and lotions.
"A saleswoman said this would have anything you could need."
Néomi dug into more bags, savoring the different fabrics and the expensive designs. And not a black satin party gown among the offerings! "Vampire, you have excellent taste!" she said in delight.
