Amethyst Flame (The Flame Series Book 2) (22 page)
The evolving design had striations of gray which Emma said matched his eyes. He was part spellcaster now, sort of. He didn’t make use of Emma’s spellroom or her gift creating potions, but he could draw on her abilities almost at will. They’d become a very literal power couple, probably the thing Dagen had coveted in Emma all those years.
Vaughn spent part of each night practicing the unique spellcaster skills, just as Emma worked her levitation and her recently acquired ability to create a vampire cloak to shield herself from other spellcasters. She often used her teeth to bite into his neck and give him the thrill of vampire enthrallment. He was thinking he wanted to do that again, as in now.
With everyone gone, he closed the door, then took Emma’s hand.
She squeezed it in response. “Something on your mind, Vaughn?”
How well she knew him.
He turned to her, released her hand and drew her into his arms. “You’re a feast for me these days.” He drew a lock of her long auburn hair, pulling it forward over her shoulder. “I love your hair, your beautiful green eyes, milky skin.”
Her quirky smile arrived. “And what do you want to do tonight. I mean, exactly.”
He smiled, something he was doing a lot lately. “I want your teeth in my throat like a vampire.”
He watched a full-body shiver flow over her. “I love doing that to you.” She cupped him low. “Should I do this at the same time, or would you rather I climbed on board and rode you for a while?”
For a moment, he couldn’t speak. Both images sent desire hurtling to his groin.
When he could finally open his mouth, he said, “How about we do both?”
She gave a small cry, then threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. He lifted her off the ground, teasing her lips with his tongue until she opened for him. He thrust inside steadily until her body melted against his.
He had to draw back to see where he was going, especially since he decided to levitate and make it quick. “Time for bed, Emma.”
“Oh, yes.”
He flew swiftly to the bedroom and worked hard for the next couple of hours to take her repeatedly to the heights of ecstasy. His ultimate goal, however, was to wear her out because he loved having her fall asleep in his arms.
He held her now, cradled against his side.
The sun had long since risen, taking over the world of Five Bridges. Mostly his world slept through the day and would rise at night to begin the cycle once more. But now he was with Emma and together they would fight to make Five Bridges a decent place to live.
Until the night called once more, he held her close, his heart beating as one with hers, his arms savoring each rise and fall of her chest against his. She was alive, and she was his. For the rest of his life, no matter how many days he was given to be with her, finding Emma would be his solace, now and forever.
