he did this. He usually reserved it
for rewarding me, if he is pleased with me. He released the bite and licked me.
“Always so easy, aren’t you?” he asked huskily.
    “Only for you,” I said breathlessly. Lowering his head to
my stomach he planted kiss after kiss, lower and lower, pulling the chemise
completely away. He reached the spot I so wanted him to claim, and he did. His
tongue working, he inserted a finger into me and moaned softly. “So wet,” he
murmured.
    “Oh Constantine. I love you. I want you now, please,” I
begged him.
    “Patience, sweet Aefre.” He stood up suddenly and pulled
his shirt over his head. I admired his strong, smooth torso through narrowed
eyes. He undressed completely and grabbed me by the ankles and dragged me down
the bed so he was directly above me. I stared at him greedily, wanting to taste
him. I took him in my mouth. Licking the tip of him, tasting him, I moaned with
delight as I felt him harden even more.
    “Oh Aefre. I love your wanton mouth,” he breathed but
pulled my head up by a fistful of hair, “but I want to be inside you here,” he
touched me and I quivered. I straddled him and lowered myself onto him
tantalizingly slow. Pulling back quickly I teased him in this manner until he
pushed me roughly down by my shoulders, filling me right up. I cried out and
rocked my hips thrusting against him quickly, his hands on my behind pushed me
further onto him. I dropped my fangs and pushed his head to the side. Biting
down sharply he hissed in pleasure. I loved the intimacy of biting during
lovemaking. It made me feel like I was claiming him, that he was truly mine and
the others were nothing to him. He told me he doesn’t let other Vampires bite
him and of course the humans can’t. I wished with all my heart that it is true
but doubt lurked. I still didn’t understand his need for other women. He told
me it is a Vampire's nature and I too will accept it and take other lovers. But
I didn’t want to. I didn’t want anyone but him. He was my life, my heart, my
soul, my everlasting love.
    Releasing the bite I licked him and moved my mouth to
his. He clamped down on my bottom lip, biting me, drawing blood. He lapped away
as I pounded against him. I came forcefully around him. He groaned and quickly
followed. “I love you,” I whispered.
    “And I, you,” he replied.
     
    "So that actor guy you were flirting with earlier? Is
he your next victim?" Devon asks with a sly grin, and I bring my thoughts
back to the present.
    "I certainly hope so,” I murmur.
    Devon turns to look at me and raises his eyebrow at me,
"Really? A smitten kitten, are you?"
    "Maybe," I reply in a noncommittal manner, looking
away.
    "Hm, this is unusual." He wants to probe further,
I can tell, but I'm not talking.
    "Thought you were of the use 'em and lose 'em
mindset?" he carries on.
    "Not this one if I can help it, okay?" I glare at
him, discussion closed.
    He backs off, but he knows me better than I know myself, and
I can sense, rather than see - as I'm avoiding his gaze - his trademark smirk.
    Smug bastard, I think ruefully.
    We sit in a companionable silence for the rest of the trip
home to Malibu. Grayson, my driver - also a Vampire, pulls into my driveway and
punches in the security code. The gates open and we drive up to the ten-bedroom
mansion that Devon and I share.
     
    As we head to the bar area/den my Blackberry rings. An
unrecognized number. I know it has to be Cole.
    "Hello?" I answer innocently.
    "Hi, Liv?" comes the reply.
    "Yes Cole, it's me."
    No response.
    "Cole?"
    "Yes, I'm here, just slightly intimidated. When we
spoke earlier, I didn’t realize who you were... exactly."
    "Who did you think I was?" I ask.
    "Um, I thought I recognized you, somehow..." he
trails off. "Am I going to get fired for this? For asking you out?” he
asks only half joking.
    I laugh. "No, I wouldn't let that happen to you,"
I say seductively and his breath catches in his throat.
    "Well as head of the
