He moved and kissed me again, more pa.s.sionately then his last kiss. I kissed him back as I moved my hands from his chest to around his neck. I started moving my body up and down riding his c.o.c.k that was deep inside of me. My mouth trailed to his neck and my tongue licked at his delicious skin. The roar of his blood in his veins was completely overpowering, my hunger now no longer able to be controlled. I kissed his neck once before I sank my teeth into his flesh. As I tasted his blood flow into my mouth, he groaned.

It was intoxicating drinking from him with his erection still moving within me. My senses were overwhelmed and I sucked harder from his neck as I rode his c.o.c.k even harder at the same time. As it rubbed against my swollen c.l.i.t I knew the o.r.g.a.s.m I was going to experience was like nothing I'd ever felt before. I drank and drank from him and he slowly moved to lie on his back on the bed. I knew I had consumed a large amount of his blood and he was starting to feel the effects of blood loss.

"G.o.d that feels..." he trailed off, "so good," he breathed. "f.u.c.k," he said as his hips moved with mine and his arms wrapped around me tightly.

I felt myself reaching my climax, and when he swore again, I knew that he was going to come, too. We both came at the exact same time, him gasping and shuddering hard under me. I continued drinking from him as my own climax rolled over me. I felt his arms loosen their hold on me and I realized he was unconscious. I continued drinking from him until the moment his heart stopped beating.

Sitting up I looked at him. His eyes were closed and he appeared completely peaceful. I never dreamed I would ever have such an amazing man in my life. I would never let him regret the dark path he had chosen to take with me. I knew I would love him for all time.

I eased myself off him and pulled at the comforter to cover his naked body. After he was covered, I went to the bathroom to take a much-needed shower. If his turning was anything like mine was, I knew I'd have some time to wait before he woke again.

Chapter Twenty

Two days later, I was standing on the balcony of our hotel room when I heard Hunter call my name. I turned and went back inside, happy that he was finally waking up. The days had dragged by as I stood watch over him, waiting for him to awaken. He was sitting at the foot of the bed and cautiously touching where I had bitten him. There were two raised, red marks on his neck. I sat on the bed next to him wearing a fuzzy white robe that I had found in the hotel bathroom.

"How do you feel?" I asked him. I remembered how sick I had felt when I changed. "Does the bite hurt a lot?"

"It hurts a little," he admitted to me. "I feel a little lightheaded too, kind of like hung over."

"Yeah, that's all normal. I felt the same thing when I changed. You were out for two days just like me too," I explained to him.

"I've been laying here for two days?" he asked me with disbelief. "Really?"

"Yep," I said, "I've watched way too much cable television because of you," I joked. "So how do you feel? I never changed anyone before so I only know what I felt and what Jake told me," I explained.

"I don't know..." Hunter tailed off. "I feel like I have a pain in stomach, but at the same time I feel kind of hungry. Did you feel like that too?"

"When I changed the pain was terrible, like I had a knife in my stomach. The more time pa.s.sed the worse it got. And the hunger got unbearable too."

"Yeah, I can feel it getting worse," he agreed with me. "And there's something else too," he said, looking a little embarra.s.sed. It was a look I rarely saw on his face, and I already knew what he was feeling.

I stood up from where I had been sitting next to him on the bed and untied my robe. "I felt what you're feeling after the first time I fed," I said as I let the white terry cloth robe fall to the floor. He looked at me with a ravenous pa.s.sion that heated me from the inside out. Yes, I knew exactly what he wanted from me...warm blood and hot s.e.x. I was ready and willing to give him exactly what he wanted.

"I need you now," he murmured to me as he reached out his hand to me.

I took his hand and knelt in front of him on the bed. He moved so he was kneeling as well and our bodies pressed against each other. When I looked at him, I saw that he was no longer injured. His bruises and swollen eye were back to normal. He was perfect and would stay perfect forever.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do next. Help me," he said quietly. His erection was pressing hard against me and when he spoke, I saw his incisors had lowered.

"I'll tell you what to do baby," I told him. "First kiss me," I instructed as I stared into his eyes. I didn't have to tell him twice.

Hunter leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips. We kissed a few more times before I told him to kiss my neck. As his lips moved down my throat I reached down to touch his ever-hardening erection. I stroked him and rubbed him against my mound. He licked and nibbled at my neck groaning.

"G.o.d I want you," Hunter gasped. "I want all of you. I can't stand it much longer," he said as his teeth sc.r.a.ped my throat.

I let go of his hardened shaft and moved to lie down. "Come here," I said to him with open arms.

Hunter climbed over me and I opened my legs wider for him. "Make love to me Hunter," I instructed him. His mouth found one of my b.r.e.a.s.t.s, his tongue circling the erect pink nipple. He moved over me, positioning his body over mine then guided his erection to my waiting s.e.x. As he slowly slid inside of me, he laid himself over me. We were touching chests as he held himself over me on his forearms.

I lifted my hips up to meet his, causing him to moan. He started to slide in and out of me, each stroke better than the one before. Hunter started to kiss me again as we made love. I reached up to touch his hair and caress his neck. I nudged his face away from my lips towards my throat. I turned my face so he could kiss the entire length of my neck.

"I can hear your blood... I can smell it," he told me. His c.o.c.k was still moving in and out of me as he spoke.

"Drink from me Hunter," I instructed him.

"I don't want to hurt you," he said with heated breath against my neck.

"It won't hurt me and you need my blood," I explained. The hunger in his belly must have been excruciating by now. His self-control was impressive to me. "Just do what feels natural," I told him.

Hunter started kissing my neck, licking my skin. He paused for a moment before I felt his incisors pierce through my skin. As my blood started flowing into his mouth, I gasped and Hunter groaned.

I reached around and grabbed his a.s.s pulling him closer to me. Making love while he drank from me was unbelievable. He was sucking on my neck when my first o.r.g.a.s.m rolled over me. My p.u.s.s.y clenched around him as I came. I held my breath overwhelmed with the intensity of the o.r.g.a.s.m. He moaned into my throat as I felt him tense and I knew he was coming inside of me.

He continued to drink from me and I started to feel a little light headed from all of the blood he had taken. Finally, he pulled away from my neck and looked down at me. My blood was fresh on his lips making them bright red. He slid himself out of me but stayed where he was over me.

"Babe, are you okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?" he asked me with concern in his voice. "Did I take too much? I didn't mean to if I did. That was so amazing, the s.e.x and the blood, it was incredible" he tried to explain to me. "I love you Janice."

I reached up and touched his face while smiling at him. "I know. I love you too."

"Will it always be like that? That intense?"

"If you make love while feeding, yeah it's like that," I told him. I looked at him with my blood still on his lips and I felt like I was in a dream. I was concerned that he'd think about his new life and hate me for changing him. "I hope you don't ever end up regretting what we've done."

"Never," he told me with a firm resolve in his voice. "All I ever want is you," he said then leaned down to kiss my lips again. "I'm afraid you're stuck with me forever."

Suddenly I thought of something.

"You don't feel sick at all, like nauseous? Do you?" I asked him.

"No, I feel great, why?" he questioned back to me.

"Oh, no reason, forget it," I replied with relief. I snuggled closer to Hunter thinking that I was the luckiest vampire in the world.

And I was.
