Twisted: Brides of the Kindred 23 Read online

“Gods, Talana, don’t know if I want to watch you come on my fingers first or feel you wrapped around my shaft,” he murmured, his voice hoarse with need.

  “I want to come with you in me,” Sophia begged, unable to help herself. “Please, Sylvan—I want to feel you inside me—and I want your fangs in my neck when I come.”

  “Your pleasure is mine, as always,” Sylvan told her. Withdrawing his fingers, he fit the broad head of his cock to her open, waiting pussy and entered her with a single hard thrust.

  Only knowing that the twins were asleep in the other room kept Sophia from screaming out her pleasure at the deep, welcome invasion. As it was, she had to bite her lip until she nearly bled to hold in the cry of desire and need that wanted to come out.

  “It’s all right, Talana, scream if you want to,” Sylvan told her roughly through their link. The walls of my office are soundproofed—remember?” Then he began to move in her, pulling almost all the way out and thrusting in again, deep and hard and desperate—as though he needed her so badly he couldn’t be gentle.

  This wasn’t making love, Sophia realized dimly as her back arched with pleasure and she rose and fell, riding him as he thrust deep inside her. This was a more primitive form of love—fucking, Sylvan was fucking her hard and fast, in a way he almost never did.

  This is what he needs, she thought, delirious with pleasure as her mate filled her over and over. This is what he needs tonight to get out of his head—to forget the problems of the Council and just be here with me.

  If that was true, then she was more than happy to give it to him. She loved the feeling of him inside her, thrusting so deep and hard, the broad head of his cock giving the mouth of her womb a rough kiss with each driving thrust. Digging her fingernails into his broad shoulders, she rode him hard, giving as good as she was getting.

  “Get ready, Talana,” she heard Sylvan growl through their link. “Going to fill you up soon. And I’m going to bite you the minute I start coming so we can come together.”

  Since his bite and the injection of his essence always brought on an instant orgasm, Sophia knew exactly what to expect—and she couldn’t wait.

  “Bite me!” she begged aloud, not bothering to lower her voice since he had reminded her of the sound-proofing. Brushing her hair to one side, she bared her throat for him temptingly. “Bite me, Sylvan—bite me and fuck me and make me come!”

  She didn’t usually use such frank language. Either that or hearing her begging seemed to do something to the big Kindred. He growled—a hungry, almost animalistic sound—and sank his double set of fangs deep into her exposed throat.

  Sophia moaned and stiffened as she felt the rush of essence hit her bloodstream. Pleasure drenched her like a warm, rushing waterfall and her pussy clenched hard around his thick shaft.

  “Coming—Oh, Sylvan, I’m coming!” she gasped through their link. “You’re making me come so hard!”

  “That’s right, Talana—come for me—come all over my cock while I fill you up. While I bond you to me all over again,” he groaned.

  And then Sophia felt him spurting—hot and wet and copious inside her. Kindred always made a lot of cum and there was even more when a Kindred male was either bonding you or trying to get you pregnant, she had found. Possibly Sylvan was doing both because she could feel his seed running down her inner thighs, getting both of them wet and sticky and still he spurted inside her.

  “Gods, Sophia, love you—love you so much,” he told her, sending love and devotion and desire through their link in an outpouring that nearly drowned her in emotion.

  “Oh, Sylvan, I love you too. So much—forever,” she sent back.

  They seemed to come together for a long, long time but finally the pleasure ebbed and left them both panting and clinging together, like two people who have survived a shipwreck and have only each other to hold onto.

  The intensity of the situation overwhelmed Sophia and she felt tears prick her eyes and a sob caught in her throat.

  Sylvan withdrew his fangs and looked at her anxiously.

  “What is it, Talana? Was I too rough with you? I know we aren’t usually so…carnal when we love each other.”

  Sophia almost laughed at the way he described the sex they’d just had and then she sobbed again.

  “Of course you didn’t hurt me—I like it a little rough sometimes. It’s just…when I think of that awful assassin droid and how I almost lost you…” She choked up again, and felt hot tears running down her cheeks.

  “Oh, sweetheart…” Sylvan cupped her face in his hands and brought her forward to kiss away the tears. “Don’t cry,” he murmured. “Or if you really need to cry, let me hold you while you do.”

  With a muffled little moan, Sophia wrapped her arms around him and pressed her face to his neck, letting the tears take her as the aftermath of the intense orgasm shook her like the aftershocks of an earthquake. Sylvan held her and stroked her back, letting her feel his warmth and sending her strength and reassurance through their link. Promising wordlessly that he would always be there, that he would never leave her alone.

  At last, Sophia was able to regain control.

  “I’m sorry,” she said, pulling back and wiping at her eyes with her fingertips. “I guess I’ve just been trying not to think about the attempt that awful Mistress Hellenix made on your life and talking about it and then having such intense sex just brought everything rushing to the surface.” She sighed. “Sometimes I just worry about you so much, Sylvan.”

  “I worry about you and the twins too, you know,” he said gravely, stroking her cheek. “That’s why I’m still Head of the High Council though I have often longed to pass the post on to someone else. It feels like the best way I can protect you all. But, Talana, some things we just have to leave in the Goddess’s hands.”

  “Yes, I know.” Sophia let out a trembling sigh and laid her head on his shoulder. “I just don’t know what I’d do if something happened to you. I love you so much.”

  “I love you too, sweetheart. So much more even than when we first came together,” Sylvan sent through their link as he kissed her gently. “I thank the Goddess every day for bringing you into my life.”

  “I do too,” Sophia sent back. She kissed him back and became aware that he was still hard inside her—not an uncommon occurrence since Kindred males didn’t require any recovery time between orgasms.

  “Sylvan,” she murmured, breaking the kiss and looking into his eyes. “Make love to me again. But this time, let’s take it slow.”

  She rolled her hips slowly, to emphasize her point, and both of them moaned when the motion caused unbearable pleasurable friction between them.

  “Mmm, as you wish, Talana,” Sylvan murmured, his blue eyes going half-lidded again. “Long and slow and deep. And I want to look into your eyes and feel your soul joined to mine with every stroke.”

  Sophia pressed her forehead to his and they locked gazes as he pulled almost out of her and then pressed deeply back in, making both of them moan. She would put everything else out of her mind, she told herself firmly. That horrible Mistress Hellenix and Uriel Two and the homicidal AI that ran it—everything but the sweet pleasure of Sylvan filling her had to go.

  But before she did, she sent a quick prayer to the Goddess that she would protect them all and that everything would be all right…

  Then Sylvan thrust in her again and everything else went out of her head as she gave herself up to the pleasure of making love with the only man she had ever loved or would ever love…forever.

  Chapter Eleven

  Oh my God, he’s onto me! He knows!

  Though Nikki had been feeling too weak to move just a moment before, the realization that her cover had been blown seemed to galvanize her into action. She sat up and started to crawl off the bed, trying to put some distance between herself and the big Kindred.

  “Come back here.” He grabbed her by the ankle and started to drag her back.

  “No! Stay away from me!” Nikki tri
