Ashlynn Monroe - Vampires and Mistletoe

"Never beg my lovely one. Never beg for anything, my Tessa. Your sweet lips deserve more than pleas."

His kissed her then, and she felt him slide his arms behind her back and head and pull her to him with a ferocity that both surprised and delighted her. Clinging to him helplessly, she allowed him to crush her in a punishing kiss that made her light-headed. His tongue danced in her mouth and she returned the action. Tongue kissing had never been her favorite until that moment. What she had been missing not kissing the man made her regret not laying one on him the moment he'd stepped into her life to save it. Pure magic seemed to flow from his firm, masculine lips into her wanting mouth.

Tessa relished his talent and skill. Obviously, someone had been keeping secrets about the magic of vampire sex. No wonder there were so many vampires in the underground sex trade of Other World. Gideon would certainly make a stellar gigolo. He pulled back, snorting out a belly laugh at her thoughts. Scowling at him, she felt unable to help the rush of emotion as he kissed her furrowed brow.

"Never scowl, my sweet," he whispered in his magical voice. "For you, I will be a gigolo or anything that you desire tonight. For you, lovely one, I will give the best performance of my life. Let me make you scream my name again. I want to hear your sweet song as you come for me."

His words were as sensual as his actions, and Tessa wondered how many women had come just hearing him speak. If it wasn't some kind of vampire glamour the guy should get himself an infomercial, because a woman could believe anything that came out of that delectable mouth. He restrained his amusement, but Tessa could see the sparkle in his beautiful eyes. It was obvious from his reaction that he enjoyed the way she thought. Definitely a first for her in the male companionship department; a guy who liked her thought process. Gideon was one in a million.

When she tried to move, ready to start showing him her appreciation, he gently held her back. "No, lovely, this is all for you. Enjoy it. I will enjoy putting my cock in you soon enough. I just want to give you this night. Let me love you, sweet."

Tessa felt a little odd, but she lay back, allowing him to pleasure her. Soon the tension left her body as she felt his hands roving, touching her in places that she had never considered sensual, but that suddenly felt erogenous. He brought her to the edge, and she was desperate for him to join her in another orgasm. He must have read her mind because she felt the bed dip as he pulled her to him.

Using his hands, he raised her up and slipped just the head of his cock inside her pussy. Hissing with pleasure, Tessa closed her eyes and moaned. His fingers found her clit and he began to play with it; pinching, tweaking, and caressing until she felt her orgasm push her over the edge again. Tessa screamed his name. Gideon continued to rub her clit as he used his large, strong hand to pull her to his cock. She was so tight that when his large cock worked its way to the base the pleasure was so strong it was almost painful. Tessa cried out, and the sensation felt so intense that her eyes watered. Never in her life had she felt anything like what Gideon was doing to her. He moved forward and began to slam his cock in and out of her body until she was screaming uncontrollably.

Her face flushed with the exertion of her pleasure, and when she opened her eyes he was looking at her intensely. Never in her life had anyone looked at her the way Gideon was looking at her. She could feel the aftershocks of her orgasm against his cock where it was buried deep inside her body. Gideon never stopped giving attention to her clit. Tessa was delightfully surprised when she felt herself begin another orgasm.

Gideon began to slam into her body again. His hips moved so that his cock did something amazing in her body. No other man had ever been so skilled at wringing pleasure out of her. Tessa felt like she'd died just a little bit. In making her feel like she did, she wanted him to never stop! His deep masculine growl told her that he too felt the pure perfection of the sex. Coming for him again, she barely noticed when he joined her in orgasm. They lay panting after the last of the moment had slipped away.

Tessa wondered if it was just the magic of the vampire bite or something more; something purely Gideon that had caused her to experience the sex so deeply. It had been the best Christmas present ever. Stretching and feeling pliable and languid she stood up, shaking from her muscles being so weak with relaxation. It was the most perfect sex of her life. Determined to protect her heart she reminded herself it was only sex.

"We must go back. I have to take you home as soon as possible." His statement surprised her. She felt used. Did he think great sex would change her mind about staying away from Victor's world?

"I'm not going back." Ignoring his dark look she got up quickly. She wanted to get away from him and the bathroom was as far as her spell would allow. Tessa slipped into the bathroom to take a shower.

Stepping under the warm water, she reveled in the sensation until the moment of Zen suddenly shattered with his rude interruption.

Gideon stood naked, still looking angry. Without words, he hauled her soapy body out of the shower and she felt his growing power. Angry, she realized he was using her relaxed state to break her protective spell. Clamping down on her power she strengthened the barrier, but after losing blood and not eating all day her body gave out, and she found herself in his arms, blinking up at his wrathful face. Softly, she whispered, "Why is it so important to you to destroy my life?"

"The fate of my people depends on your safe return. Your father will kill every female of my kind if I don't bring you home." His words made her heart drop.

Tessa immediately wanted to cry. What kind of a monster would make such a threat? As much as she detested Other World, she didn't want to see its creatures suffer for her freedom. She didn't want to live trapped in Other World; but if Gideon was speaking the truth, she must return. Looking deeply into his eyes she felt the honesty in his expression. With a shallow cry, she pushed away from him.

"Let me take my shower and get dressed. Alone. I'll return with you, but only for the sake of your people – not for you or my father!" He looked conflicted, as if he might not trust her. She knew her eyes flashed red at him. She could see the moment he decided to trust her because his expression changed. He backed out of the door, and she slammed it in his face, deciding to make the most of her shower. Granted, great sex did not exactly award her his loyalty, but the fate of his kind was at stake. It was frustrating; knowing he had as little choice as she did. Sighing, she finished her shower and dressed.

Taking her time just to irritate him, she finally packed her things and left the bathroom. He was dressed and ready. Setting down her suitcase she stretched her arms out wide, releasing her magical hold over the resort. Within seconds she knew that her protection was gone, and she found herself at Gideon's mercy.

For a moment, she thought she might have seen regret on his face before he took her hand and she teleported them to the other side of the barrier. She could see the human world, and desperately she tried to step through the barrier, but as she suspected it had been a one-way trip. Her father had removed her magical visa. There was no going home. Unable to help herself she crumpled in front of the barrier but Gideon caught her before she hit the ground.

Exhausted and sad she wept softly. Tessa couldn't look him in the eyes; she felt too embarrassed by her reaction. Somehow, losing her ability to cross freely felt a little bit like losing her mother all over again. She felt depleted, and Tessa closed her eyes.
