Blake's Pursuit (Scanguards Vampires, #11)(61)
Lilo had to chuckle involuntarily. “That’s Hannah. She’s game for any adventure. Always has been. She needs that excitement in her life. That constant rush of adrenaline.”
Blake smiled back at her. “That was my luck. When I told her that I needed human blood to heal myself so I could gain enough strength to free my legs and escape from the car, she didn’t hesitate. I took only as much as I needed. Human blood directly from a living human’s vein is much more powerful than any bottled blood. But of course, I had no time to warn Hannah about the side effects. The sexual arousal. The fact that my bite was erotic, even though sex was the last thing on my mind.” He sighed. “With her blood, I was able to garner enough strength to free myself. But the sun was already rising, so Hannah took a blanket she found in my trunk and we were able to make it to an old shed she’d seen on her walk with Frankenfurter. We took shelter there.”
“And Hannah, how did she take the bite?”
“She was stunned, as was to be expected. And hooked, but that was something I didn’t realize for a while.”
“Hooked? You mean she fell in love with you?”
Blake stroked his knuckles over her cheek, a gesture that comforted her. “No. She was hooked on the bite. On the feeling it gave her. We talked while we were waiting for nightfall. I told her about Scanguards, about what I do. Who I am. And I told her I’d give her anything she wanted for saving my life.”
“What did she want?”
“Very little. She really is too good for this world. All she wanted was a job. See, she’d been fired the previous day. That’s why she’d been out all the way in the woods with Frankenfurter. To think about what she wanted to do with her life. It was fate that she was there.”
“So you gave her a job.”
Blake nodded. “I could have arranged pretty much any job she wanted in this town. Scanguards has lots of connections. But she didn’t want to work for any human company. She wanted to work for vampires. I don’t think Ronny was her first vampire boyfriend. I think she dated several of the vampires she met as part of her job. I suspect that she was always chasing that high that she felt when I bit her.”
He combed his fingers through her hair. “That’s why I feel responsible for her and will do anything to save her. Not only because she saved my life, but because I’m the one who thrust her into the world of vampires. Everything that happened to her happened because I introduced her to this life instead of wiping her memory of the accident and how she saved me.”
“Why didn’t you wipe her memory?”
“She begged me not to. She wanted to remember everything.” Blake caressed her face gently, and warmth spread inside her. “And you? Do you want to remember, now that you know what danger you could be in just by knowing?”
The decision was an easy one. “I want to remember everything. Every little detail.” She shifted on his lap, lifting herself onto her knees and readjusting her core to align with his cock. “I want to make more memories. Will you help me with that?”
He brushed his lips to hers, smiling. “I thought you’d never ask.”

Lilo lowered herself onto his cock and took him inside her. He didn’t think he would ever get enough of that. Like a cocoon, her warmth and wetness engulfed him, instantly making everything else disappear in the background.
Nibbling on her upper lip, Blake thrust his hips up, seating himself even deeper in her. She gasped in delight and threw her head back, thus exposing her vulnerable throat. Temptation charged through him. But he wouldn’t act on it. Lilo hadn’t made the decision yet whether to grant him the pleasure of biting her. And he wouldn’t rush her into it, because if he did, she would only resent him for it.
Instead, he lowered his face to her breasts and captured one hard nipple in his mouth, sucking on it, making Lilo shiver under his touch. Yes, that was how he would help her decide: by showering her with passion and pleasure, with tenderness and care. And with love. He froze. Love? Was the feeling that was controlling his body and mind, love? Could it be? Could it even happen after so short a time? How would he know for sure?
Her voice made him snap his attention back to her.
“Oh, yes, Blake, please, just like that,” she said, riding him faster now.
He helped her by gripping her hips and lifting her up whenever she rose onto her knees, then drawing her down when she sank back onto him. Despite the plentiful lubrication from his semen and her juices, the friction was increasing, and he felt his next orgasm approach.
He continued sucking her breasts, alternating between her nipples, while he plunged his cock deep into her.
“Yeah, ride me hard,” he mumbled against her firm flesh.
He lifted his head to look at her face, a face that glistened with passion. Their gazes met, melting into each other.
Lilo suddenly lifted her hand and brushed her hair away from one side of her neck, tilting her head to the side. He stared at the delicate skin and could see the vein beneath its surface pulse in the rhythm of their lovemaking. How many more temptations would he have to resist?
Lilo bent closer, then let one hand trail down the exposed side of her neck, as if to show him the way.
He groaned out loud. “Damn it, Lilo. This is hard enough.”
She didn’t break eye contact. “I know. I can feel it.” As if to emphasize her statement, she drove down fast, practically impaling herself on his rock-hard cock.
