Tall, Dark & Lonely

“Yes. ” She wiped a tear off her cheek.

“Baby, why didn’t you come to me? I would have helped you. ”

She shook her head. “I couldn’t do that to you. ”

“Were you afraid that I would rip his throat out or lose my job?”

“Both. ”

He sighed heavily and held out his hand. “Come here. ”

She walked over to the bed and took his hand. He pulled her onto his lap, making her straddle him. She released his hand and pulled her heels off, letting them drop to the ground.

Ephraim cupped his hands on her h*ps and pulled her forward. “Can I have a kiss? I’ve missed you. ”

Her hands dropped to the bed on either side of his face as she leaned over him. “I don’t know. I thought you said you were done with me. ”

His hands gently caressed her hips. “I’ll never be done with you. I’m sorry for being such an ass**le, but you hit a bit of a nerve for me. ”

“About babies?”

“Yes. ”

“So, you can’t have babies? You know that for sure, don’t you? You tried with that woman?”

He raised his head to brush his lips against hers. “I don’t know anything for certain, baby. I have no clue. As far as that woman is concerned the answer is no. I never slept with her. She wanted to years and years ago. Her Master, who at this very moment is not too happy with me, tried to make a deal with me and offered up twenty females to me to see if I could impregnate any of them. I could keep the babies in return the master wanted to be like me. ”

“Did you?”

His fingers threaded through her black hair. “No, I didn’t do that. I didn’t want a child with a vampire. ”

“So, how do you know you haven’t fathered a child before?”

“That’s easy. I never finished inside of a woman before. ”

She searched his face to see if he was joking. “Never?”

“No, never. It was one of the best ways to prevent by-blows. ”

“By-blows?”

“Bastards. ”

“That’s not very nice. ”

“Sorry, that’s what they were called back then. My father told us what to do. ”

“Your father encouraged you?” A thought occurred to her. “I’ve heard stories that men back then brought their son’s to whorehouses, did yours?”

He used her h*ps to push her up so that her neck was right above his mouth. He began pressing kisses to her neck. “No, he didn’t bring me. The last time I saw my father was just before I was taken away. Before that I looked like a little boy. No self-respecting whore would have touched me. He brought my brothers when they were fourteen though so he probably would have. ”

“Oh. ”

“So, what did your father tell you to do?”

“Pull out. Never come inside a woman unless she’s meant to carry the heir. That’s what we were taught. ”

“So, you never once…. ” her voice trailed off suggestively.

“Not once. ” His hands slid down her back until they cupped her bottom. He gently squeezed and caressed her while his mouth licked and kissed her neck.

Madison used her feet to push the covers off Ephraim. She was not losing this opportunity. She’d waited too long for this. For him. Using one hand she undid the knot on her skirt and pulled it off, throwing it to the ground. She sat back down on his lap. She could feel his erection through the material of his boxers.

Ephraim watched hungrily as she slowly unbuttoned her blouse. She threw the blouse to the side, revealing a black bra and matching panties.

“A goddess. You look like a goddess. ” He was mesmerized by her beautiful black hair and golden skin. He ran his hands down her neck, br**sts, stomach and back.

“Do you want to see more?” she asked in a sultry voice.

He swallowed loudly and nodded firmly. “Please. ”

She reached back with one hand and unsnapped her bra, letting it slide down her arms. Ephraim gently pulled it from her arms and threw it on the floor.

Without waiting he ran his fingers down to her h*ps and slid a finger on either side of her panties and snapped the string of the waistband apart. Madison sat up so that he could pull the ripped panties away, leaving her naked.

His eyes drank in her body. She was so beautiful from her golden brown eyes to her butterscotch ni**les. She was everything in the world that was perfect and she was his. He growled possessively as his fangs descended. “Come here. ”

A shudder of lust shot through her as his eyes began to glow and his teeth dropped. Madison found herself going to him more that willingly. She leaned down and kissed his lips gently. The kiss was slow and sweet. They took their time enjoying the sensation the teasing sent down their bodies.

Ephraim licked her lips in a request. She obliged by opening her mouth. He deepened the kiss. Their tongues moved together, sending agony to their loins. Soon they were both panting and moaning. Madison wasn’t aware that she was grinding herself against him. She only knew that she loved the feeling and it wasn’t enough.

His arms wrapped around her waist, hugging her close to him. He rolled her over onto her back, never breaking the kiss. Madison grabbed his underwear and pushed them down. When her hands couldn’t push any farther she used her feet frantically kicking them down. She felt his hard shaft against the inside of her thigh and moaned.

He lowered himself and slid his c**k against her slit. She was so wet. So f**king wet and he was going to lose it. She was drenching the underside of his cock. The sounds of their panting were loud enough to block out the sounds coming from his room. They didn’t care. They were the only things existing in their world at the moment.

“Baby, I have to tell you two things before we do this,” his said in a hoarse voice.

“What?” she whimpered. She was squirming wildly beneath him, trying to get him to come inside.

“The first thing you should know, once I put my c**k in you I’m not going to stop f**king you until my dick explodes inside of you. ” His words were like pouring gasoline on the fire that was already out of control in her body. She moaned loudly with anticipation.

“And the second?” She was surprised she managed a coherent thought never mind a sentence at this point.

He pulled back and positioned himself. “The second is the most important. ” He kissed her deeply before pulling back to look down at her. He needed to watch her as he told her while entering her. He slowly pushed forward.

Madison gasped loudly. “The second thing, Madison, is that I am head over heels in love with you. ” With one thrust he was buried inside of her.

Her body tightened around him and began convulsing. “Oh shit!” He touched his forehead to hers while he watched her come apart. She moaned his name while licking her lips. Her body convulsed violently around him. It took everything he had not to come right then and there with her. He’d never been with a woman who exploded like this, never mind when he entered her.

He waited until her body relaxed before he started moving. His thrusts were slow and shallow giving her a chance to recover. The entire time his eyes never left her face. “Are you okay, baby?” he asked with a soft kiss.

She bit her lip and nodded. “That’s my girl. ”
