The Immortal Hunter(56)

"You mean you..." She paused, unsure how to say what she wanted to ask.

"I mean when I do this..." Decker bent his head to catch her nipple between his lips, his teeth scraping over the bud and making Dani close her eyes as a sleepy shiver of excitement reawakened within her, and then he lifted his head, releasing the nubbin, and growled, "I experience your pleasure as my own. It flows through you and into me and back, and each time I do that"-he rasped his tongue over her nipple in another quick caress, sending another lazy wave of excitement through her-"it happens again," he whispered. "The waves build up, bouncing back and forth and growing in force until the mind can't take it."

Dani forced her eyes back open and peered into his face, noting that the silver had overtaken the blue of his eyes. She reached up to brush her fingers over the skin by his eye, but shook her head and said, "I can't believe you gave up sex eighty years ago if it was like what I just experienced."

Decker's eyebrows slid up his forehead. "So Uncle Lucian was right, you were eavesdropping when Justin and I were talking," he said with laughter in his eyes.

"Sorry," she muttered, withdrawing her hand, but he just caught it and raised it to his mouth to kiss her knuckles.

"It's all right," Decker assured her. "But the sex I gave up eighty years ago wasn't like this. I told you, shared pleasure is another symptom of being a life mate. I've never experienced it until you."

Dani felt pleasure wiggle its way through her at that announcement. It made her feel special, and she smiled and murmured, "Man, it's almost enough to make a gal want to be a vampire if she can experience that."

His eyes glowed briefly, but then Decker said seriously, "I'd like that. But as you know, you don't have to be immortal." When she didn't hide her confusion at his words, he frowned, "Surely you did experience what I'm talking about?"

Dani hesitated and then admitted, "I did notice something strange when I was toying with your nipples and... er... stuff," she added, blushing as she recalled caressing his erection, and then she rushed on, "but you made me stop so quickly and the rest of it was just so overwhelming, that I..." She shrugged helplessly.

"Ah." Decker relaxed a little, but still looked troubled and then asked uncertainly, "Do you want to try and see if you experience it?"

Dani hesitated. Did she want to know if she was truly his life mate? Experiencing what he'd just described would certainly convince her. But then what? Did they marry and live happily ever vampire after? And how was she supposed to explain that to her parents? Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my fiance, Count Great Sex.

On the other hand, Dani told herself, she was dying to experience what he'd just described. Not the overwhelming passion, of course; she'd already experienced that, although it would be nice to experience again, but the pleasing-him-would-please-her part was fascinating.

It was undoubtedly her scientific curiosity wanting that, she thought, and nearly snorted aloud at her own lie.

"It doesn't matter," Decker said suddenly. "We'll find out eventu-" The words ended on a sucked-in breath as Dani gave a silent answer by reaching down to clasp his penis. It was soft and limp at first, but inflated like an airplane life jacket at her touch. She hardly noticed; Dani was too distracted by the shock of excitement that shot through her. She ran her hand experimentally over his growing penis several times, sending more shock waves through herself as the first one receded and rolled back and knew there was no doubt that she was experiencing this shared-pleasure business.

With her eyes closed as they were, she was startled when Decker's mouth suddenly covered hers, but it was a good startled and she opened eagerly to accept him as her hand continued to play over his now-hard shaft, steadily increasing their shared excitement. But it wasn't enough, she wanted more, and pressed against his chest with her free hand as she turned her head away, breaking the kiss:

When Decker lifted his head, Dani urged him backward, sitting up even as he allowed her to push him down. This was like a drug and she wanted more. She wanted to ratchet the experiment up a notch.

The moment he was flat on his back, Dani shifted to her knees beside him and leaned forward to close her mouth over the tip of his shaft and then groaned along with him as her mouth followed her hand downward, sending shock waves of pleasure through them both. It was the most incredible thing she'd ever experienced, and urged her on as she worked over him. Dani could actually feel what felt best to him, knew which lick, nip, or suck where and at what speed had the most impact.

Her earlier guilt about what she'd thought was Decker's pleasuring only her dropped away like a silk scarf as she laved him with her tongue. He'd experienced the pleasure and excitement along with her just as she was experiencing his mounting passion now.

It was amazing! she thought faintly, and then lost the ability to think when his hand slid over her behind and the back of her thigh, before dipping around to find her own pleasure center. Now she was bombarded by both the pleasure she was giving him as well as what he was doing to her, and it wasn't long before they both cried out their release and the lights blinked out again.

Dani woke with a little sigh and a smile and her head between Decker's legs.

She stared at the penis lying sleeping before her eyes and could have kissed its little head. She was feeling very close to the little guy, and not just because it was about an inch from her nose. Dani had a feeling they were going to be good buddies.
