Lily felt his determination and knew he wouldn’t be moved, which also gave her a tremendous sense of relief. She rested in what appeared to be a group decision to let her, and her tracking ability, disappear into the jungles of South America.
With her biggest concerns laid to rest, she looked into Adrien’s beautiful flecked teal eyes and finally began to relax. Josh was now safe, the future settled, and she could focus on the miracle that had become the man, the vampire, cradling her in his arms.
She pushed her fingers into his hair, shoving the beautiful strands away from his equally beautiful face. Love flooded her heart, an intense love, surprising and miraculous, because of the chains that bound her to Adrien. Tears filled her eyes all over again.
“Don’t cry.”
She chuckled softly. “These are just tears of profound joy and gratitude. I didn’t think we were going to make it.”
“But we did, didn’t we?”
“Incredibly, yes. With Josh.”
He nodded. “With your son.” He dipped down and kissed her, this time a lingering kiss. “Oh, Lily,” he murmured. And he lifted her to her feet, took her in his arms, and kissed her again.
The feel of his lips removed the last of her worries.
She was with Adrien, in his South African home, and he was going to make love to her.
He searched the recesses of her mouth and drew her tightly against him, all her velvet and crystals pressed against his fine black Brioni.
The physical strength of him was what she felt, the latent power in his muscled physique, the way his biceps rippled beneath her hands, his thighs flexed against her legs.
He drew back then dipped to kiss her neck, a series of plucks against her vein, a reminder of who and what he was.
She felt his blood-need rise, a tremor that passed through him and sent a strong vibration through her double-chain.
“Yes,” she whispered, “I need that as well. I need you to take from me. Tonight, you’ve given me so much. You’ve given me everything.”
He licked her neck repeatedly so that her breaths grew light and shallow, longing for him.
“I want to do something with you, Lily. Something I’ve never done before, but this new level of power tells me I can.”
Her mind flowed back and forth, loose with desire. Through the chains she could sense his desire as well, like a dull wonderful ache. “Anything, Adrien. My God, anything.”
He kept plucking at her neck. Chills rippled down her chest and arms, even her back. “Mmmm,” she murmured softly. “What do you want to do?”
“I think it’s better if I just showed you.”
He shifted her back to the bed and set her down on the edge. Her fingertips gripped the sides of the silk comforter. She trembled now as he knelt on the carpet. He took her burgundy skirts in hand, pushing them up her bare thighs, higher and higher.
“Lift your hips,” he whispered.
She obeyed and he shoved all that fabric up behind her, then spread her legs. She wore a black lace thong, the barest scrap of fabric.
“Lie back.” His deep voice worked like a hypnotic drug and she eased down on the bed, her dress a lump under her back—but it really didn’t matter because he was kissing her low, and using his finger to play with the lace, which gave her two sensations at once. He rimmed the edge of her thong with his tongue so that the fabric tugged on her while his fingers played and his tongue spread a layer of oh-so-welcome moisture over her skin.
“Unh,” came from between her lips, a soft moan. She shuddered when he gripped the sides of her thong and tore the fabric apart.
“Oh, God,” she said, a whisper against the air.
His tongue covered her in long wet swipes, sideways over her bare mons then moving lower and lower, teasing her labia, all swollen now with tingling desire.
But when he began to work her between her lower lips, her body arched and a deep moan fell from her throat.
Lily.
Telepathy. Beautiful. I love your voice in my head.
I’m going to do that thing now. Be ready.
She might have groaned, she wasn’t sure. I’m ready. She closed her eyes and waited. He never stopped taking care of her very low but after a moment a familiar vibration began, the kind that happened when he battled in two places at once.
The thought of Adrien becoming two entities at the same time forced another long moan from between her lips. He sucked on her low as the vibration intensified.
She felt a strange movement all around, more vibration, and her chain sang against her skin.
Open your eyes.
Though she felt Adrien licking her low, now he was also, at the same time, staring down into her face, stroking her cheek.
She gasped. “You separated.”
I did. Are you enjoying this?
She nodded.
Good.
Are you able to speak?
He shook his head, then leaned close and kissed her.
Lily thought she might have just died and gone to heaven. More of Adrien, that was what she thought as he worked her low and kissed her mouth at the exact same time.
Two Adriens.
The love she felt for him expanded as she slid her arms around his neck and embraced him. He deepened the kiss, searching the recesses of her mouth, but to feel two tongues at once caused a shiver to chase up and down her body in exhilarating waves.
Her hips responded to the flick of his tongue low and she groaned against his mouth at the same time. She slid her fingers into his thick hair, caressing as he kissed her. Using the same hand, she drifted her fingers down his back, then shifted to the second Adrien, stroking his face and feeling where his soft tongue played along her labia.
I like that you’re touching my tongue. Adrien’s voice in her mind, as well as two bodies she could savor and enjoy, strengthened her rising need.
Adrien, I don’t know how much more of this I can take. His lips shifted to suck her finger, then back to her clitoris, flicking his tongue quickly until she rocked against his face. At the same time, he kissed her with swift erotic plunges of his tongue that left her gasping.
Being tended to in both places at once brought pleasure rising sharply, and she cried out against his mouth. Lower, he sped up so that one sensation piled up on another, his tongue in her mouth, flicks down low, the feel of one body beneath her right hand, and a second set of shoulders beneath the other.
She writhed beneath him, hungering, reaching for more, rushing toward ecstasy.
Lily, he whispered within her mind. I love you so much. I love feeling you beneath me like this. One set of hands caressed her br**sts, her arms, her shoulders. The other squeezed her hips and stroked her thighs. So much incredible sensation.
