Longing for You, стр. 55

right.

Alexis was fighting a greater foe than she had ever faced—her ownself. Her grip weakened for a second, and then she sped off to the left andfound herself in front of Katie’s door.

You don’t have to do this. Don’t do it.

Alexis could almost taste Katie. She put her hands and head on thedoor.

If you do this, losing her will destroy you.

Katie was lying on her bed scrolling through her iPad. She was alittle bit disappointed that her teasing of Alexis earlier hadn’t worked. Shehad planned it all. The other night after thinking about what Alexis had beenthrough, losing Anna, she’d decided that she had to take charge of thesituation.

Alexis was stubborn, though, and so she made plans to tease thevampire out of her. Katie planned her run during the busiest part of the afternoonto hopefully catch Alexis going about her business in the house.

Katie had seen Alexis’s eyes on her before when she went outrunning, so she wore her skimpiest outfit and, while out running, thought upthe brilliant idea of drawing blood from her hand, with the help of a bramblebush.

Katie looked down at her bandaged hand and remembered the reactionshe had gotten from Alexis when they talked in the hallway. Alexis’s eyes wereblood red, and her fangs had erupted. She looked as if she was about to give into their passion right there and then.

But then Katie had walked away, hoping that would nudge Alexis tocome to her later. She’d waited and waited this evening, but nothing.

Katie sighed. Maybe Alexis wasn’t as desperate as she was to makethis work.

Then she heard a soft thud on her bedroom door. Not a knock, athud as if something was thrown against the door. She got up and tiptoed over.

From underneath the door she could see the shadow of feet standingjust outside. She put her hand on the doorknob, her heart thudding in herchest, and opened the door quickly.

Alexis was standing there, breathing hard, her eyes dark bloodred.

“Alex? Are you okay?”

Alexis took a step inside the door and, without saying a word,simply put her hand on her chest. Their sign of love and honesty. Katieresponded by returning the gesture. Alexis shut the door and said, “I can’tfight it any more, Katie. I don’t have the strength or courage to live withoutyou or your love. I love you.”

Tears came to Katie’s eyes. Those were the words she had beenwaiting to hear since they’d first gotten together. Alexis cupped her cheek andused her thumb to wipe a tear away then rested her forehead against Katie’s.

“I’m sorry if I upset you,” Alexis said.

“I should be sorry. I’m sorry for what I said and did the othernight. I love you, Alex. We can make this work if you trust me,” Katie said.“When did you last feed?”

“The other day. I didn’t want to feed on anyone else,” Alexis said.

Katie was blown away by Alexis’s devotion. She stepped back,pulled off her nightie, and dropped it on the floor. She watched Alexis’s eyesturn an even darker red and her tongue snake around her teeth, but yet shedidn’t move.

“Alexis? I consent, and I’m yours.”

At the sound of those words, Alexis shot over to her. Still, shedidn’t dive in. Alexis trailed her fingers from Katie’s cheek, down her chest,and circled her nipples.

Katie moaned and pushed one of Alexis’s hands onto her breast, butAlexis pulled it away and turned Katie around, so she was facing away from her.

“No, I want to feed from you the way I wish I could have, the wayI wanted to the first time around.”

A ripple of pleasure ran through her at the memory. “Yes, Alex,just like that.”

Alexis ran her lips over the area she was going to bite and Katieshivered. “Do you consent?”

Katie looked over her shoulder. “I always consent to you.”

Alexis immediately sank her teeth into Katie’s neck. Katie gaspedbut then let her body relax. Katie took Alexis’s hands from her waist and movedthem to her breasts.

Alexis squeezed them, and Katie felt the jolt of electricity shootdown to her clit. She wanted to come with Alexis’s teeth in her.

“Alex, show me what you would have done our first time, if youcould have,” Katie said.

Alexis moved one hand from Katie’s breast and pushed past herunderwear. She pushed into Katie’s wetness and moaned against her neck. Katiepushed back against Alexis’s groin, and she thrust her hips back.

She could hear how overcome Alexis was becoming and reached herhands back into Alexis’s hair as she had done the first time they had donethis. Only that time, Alexis had run.

Alexis needed to come, needed to make Katie come. All the fears,the confusion, the love she had for Katie had to find an outlet. She quicklylooked around the room and saw the chest of drawers.

She walked Katie over to it and heard Katie moan, “Yes.”

Alexis stopped her feeding and pushed Katie over the chest ofdrawers. She needed to thrust, needed to come so desperately, that her handshook as she pulled down Katie’s underwear then unbuckled her combat trousersand dispensed with her own jockey shorts.

She opened herself up and pushed her clit against Katie’s buttock,then slipped two fingers into Katie easily. Katie gasped and then moved herhips with Alexis.

“Is this what you wanted to do to me the first time?” Katie askedin a breathy voice.

“Oh yes, I wanted to fuck you.”

Alexis felt the burning pressure build up inside her sex as shethrust into Katie. Her eyes drifted to the fresh bloody bite mark on Katie’sneck. Her mark. It turned Alexis on even more. She thrust faster as her needdemanded and heard Katie beg, “Faster, Alex. I’m so close.”

“Fuck.” Alexis did as requested and put her other hand on the backof Katie’s neck, holding her in exactly the right place.

She felt Katie’s walls start to clench her fingers, and thenAlexis was gone. Her hips pounded against Katie’s buttock as her torrent of anorgasm rushed out of her, feeling like it was rushing into Katie.

“Fuck, fuck,” Alexis cried, and then all the energy left her legsand she leaned over Katie. Katie’s orgasm had passed,
