Crimson Debt: Book 1 in the Born to Darkness series (26 page)

When the Inquisitor was gone, Corbin let out
a breath and looked at me for a long time.

“Addison,” he said at last, very quietly.
“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” I nodded, hoping he couldn’t hear how
hard my heart was pounding. “I’ve trusted you twice and gotten away
with it, Corbin. Here’s hoping that three is my lucky number.”

“I won’t hurt you,” he promised fiercely. “I
swear it, darling.” He started to take me in his arms but I stepped
back.

“There’s something you should know, though,”
I said, holding out a hand to stop him. “This doesn’t change
anything between us. This will be the one and only time we do this
and afterward, we’re still going our separate ways, just like we
agreed. I can’t give up my life for you, Corbin—I
can’t.
”

His eyes hardened. “I see. So you’re only
doing this from a sense of obligation…of duty.”

“I’m doing it to save all our lives,” I said
evenly. “I just don’t want there to be any misunderstanding about
it. I’m sorry, Corbin. I can give you my body, but not my
heart.”

He sighed. “My darling, it was your heart I
wanted all along. But I guess I am never to have it.”

“No,” I whispered, my throat suddenly tight.
“No, I’m afraid not.”

“Very well.” He nodded. “Then perhaps you
would prefer to keep this little…encounter impersonal.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I mean I can take you from behind.” He
stroked my cheek and my breath suddenly seemed to come short. “That
way you don’t have to look me in the eyes as I fill your sweet
pussy.”

“Oh…” I whispered, overcome with a strange
combination of lust and regret. “Yes, I…I guess that would be all
right.”

Corbin nodded. “Well then…” He went to his
desk and picked up the phone.

“What are you doing? Who are you calling?” I
asked.

He looked up. “I’m going to get one of the
human barmaids in here. I need to satiate my thirst for blood
before I take you, Addison. I want this encounter between us to be
as safe as possible.”

“Wait,” I said, before he could hit the
buttons. “Wait, I…”

Corbin frowned and lowered the phone. “Have
you changed your mind? If so then I must prepare to fight.”

“No, nothing like that. I just…” I bit my
lip. “I just…I don’t like the idea of you, uh, drinking from anyone
but me. Especially not when we’re about to, uh, have sex.”

“Make love,” Corbin corrected me gently. We
looked at each other for a long moment and then he nodded. “Very
well. It’s a good idea, actually—biting you will get your body
ready to receive me.”

I remembered the whipcrack orgasm that had
gone through me when he bit my thigh and shivered.

“Why is that, exactly? How can you make it
feel so good?”

“Part of it is the fact that I am injecting
you with my essence when I bite,” Corbin murmured. He put down the
phone and came around the desk to stand in front of me. “And part
of it is simply the way your body reacts to mine. You want me,
Addison—almost as badly as I want you.”

“Yes, all right,” I whispered, reaching up to
put my arms around his neck. “I guess I can admit that. I shouldn’t
but I do—I want you, Corbin. I want this.”

“I want it too,” he murmured. “Will you bare
your neck for me, darling?”

I pushed my hair out of the way and tilted my
chin to the side, offering him my vein. We were in a hurry and I
was sure he would simply drive his long, sharp fangs right into my
tender flesh. Instead, he kissed me.

“Oh…” I almost moaned when I felt his mouth,
gentle and insistent against the sensitive skin of my throat.

“Darling,” Corbin murmured as he continued to
press hot, opened mouthed kisses up and down the column of my neck.
“Your scent is so sweet, so intoxicating. Are you getting ready for
me? Ready to have my cock deep in your pussy?”

As he spoke, one large hand stroked over my
breasts, making my nipples harden instantly, and traveled down to
the spot between my thighs.

“Corbin…” I moaned, shifting against him as I
felt him press inward, rubbing my pussy through the material of my
dress and panties. God, I knew I shouldn’t want this—shouldn’t be
this hot for him, especially since he hadn’t even bitten me yet.
And yet, I couldn’t help it. Even knowing that what we were about
to do was highly illegal and incredibly dangerous couldn’t stop me
from wanting him.

“I’m going to bite you, darling,” he
murmured, still rubbing me gently with those long, strong fingers.
“But first I want you to let me in. I want to feel your sweet pussy
getting wet and hot for me while I drink from you.”

I knew it was dangerous. We were getting the
blood and the sex part of our encounter, as Corbin called it, mixed
up when we should be keeping them separate. But again I couldn’t
deny him.

“All right,” I whispered, parting my legs. I
felt Corbin raise my dress and then his big, warm hand was in my
panties, cupping my pussy possessively.

“So hot,” he murmured, his fingers rubbing me
gently in a slow, sensual massage. “Are you wet for me too,
Addison?”

“Find out for yourself,” I whispered
breathlessly. I didn’t know where I got the nerve but somehow I
couldn’t help myself.

“With pleasure,” he murmured. I felt his
fingers parting my outer lips and moaned helplessly as they slid
deep inside me. And at the same time his fangs pierced my
throat.

I cried out as the sudden orgasm flashed
through me, making me tighten around his invading fingers as he
sucked greedily from my neck. The sensations were too much—a
complete overload and yet somehow I couldn’t get enough. At that
moment I wanted nothing more than to be his—his completely.

I don’t know how long Corbin drank or how
often I came. I only know I was shaking and weak-kneed by the time
he withdrew his fangs from my neck and his fingers from my
pussy.

“Delicious,” he murmured, sucking his fingers
clean. “I wish I had time to taste your pussy, my darling, but I’m
afraid it’s time for other things now.” Slowly, he turned me to
face the desk. “It’s time for me to take you.”

“Shouldn’t…shouldn’t we wait for…for…” I knew
it was strange but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember what we
were waiting for.

“It’s all right,” Corbin assured me. I felt
him pressing me down over the desk. It had been cleared of all
paperwork and the glass and teak top felt cool against my flushed
skin. And then he was raising my skirt and pulling down my
panties.

“God!” I moaned as I felt the soft breeze
caress my naked pussy.

Corbin’s hands went to my hips and tightened,
holding me still.

“Carefully, Addison,” he said, his deep voice
sounding slightly strained. “I need you to hold perfectly still for
me now. Don’t move—don’t rouse my instincts.”

I froze, understanding what he was saying at
once. Part of the reason a vampire is so likely to kill his or her
human lover is that the thrashing around people do during
lovemaking rouses the predator part of them. Corbin was asking me
to hold perfectly still so that he could make love to me without
letting that part of himself out of the cage. Without breaking
me.

“Okay,” I whispered. “I…I won’t move.”

“You don’t need to fear me, darling,” he
murmured, though his deep voice still sounded rough. “Just relax
and let yourself open for me.”

I did the best I could but I couldn’t help
feeling incredibly helpless, spread out as I was on the desk with
my skirt pulled up and my panties pulled down. I had a quick moment
to remember exactly how big Corbin’s shaft was and how long it had
been since I had actually had sex. But before I could really start
panicking, I felt the broad head of his cock rubbing against my
swollen clit and my pleasure started to build again.

I was filled with a mixture of lust and
disbelief. God, how could he do this to me? How could he make me so
hot so fast? How could he make me need him so much that I wanted to
feel him in me more than I wanted my next breath? And yet, I
couldn’t help it—that was exactly how I felt as Corbin began the
long, slow slide of his cock deep in my pussy.

He was so thick I could feel myself
stretching around him—not in a painful way but I was definitely
going to feel it later. I would be sore and know it was from
him—for some reason, I found I liked the idea. A reminder of the
one and only time we would ever be together—providing I survived,
of course. When I finally felt the broad, mushroom shaped head
touch bottom inside me, I moaned aloud, unable to help myself.

Corbin held perfectly still at once. “Are you
all right, Addison? Did I hurt you?”

“N-no,” I whispered, shaking my head. “It
just, well…it felt good. Amazing. That’s all.” I couldn’t help
blushing as I said it but I didn’t want him to think he was hurting
me.

“That’s good, darling—very good. It speaks
well of your sensitivity and responsiveness. You have the tightest,
most lovely little pussy.”

“Thank you,” I said, turning my head to look
at him. I was reassured to see that his eyes were still their
normal silvery-blue. That seemed to be a good indicator that he was
keeping control, just as he had when he went down on me.

“Corbin, please,” I said hoarsely. “This is
nice but…but I need more.”

“And you’ll have more, darling.” Leaning
over, he captured my mouth with his, one long fingered hand curling
around my throat to hold me in place as he kissed me. After a long,
demanding kiss in which he explored me very thoroughly, he turned
me back toward the desk gently but firmly. I felt his hands slide
down to my hips and take a firm grip. Then he pulled back and began
to really pound into me.

I gasped as a mixture of pleasure and pain
shot through me. God, he was so thick! I could feel him stretching
my inner walls with each hard thrust, could feel the blunt head of
his cock pressing against the mouth of my womb with every deep
stroke. My breasts swayed with each thrust and I could barely
breathe from the intense pleasure he was building inside me.

“Oh,” I gasped. “Oh, Corbin! Oh, please…”

“That’s right, darling,” he growled softly.
“Take it all. Open your sweet little cunt and take all of my
cock.”

More than anything at that moment, I wanted
to obey him. “Yes, Corbin,” I moaned, lowering my head and
spreading my thighs wider. “Yes, Master,
please.”

The pounding seemed to go on forever—I had
never been so thoroughly fucked in my life. At last I felt my
pleasure spiking. Somehow I knew the orgasm that was coming now was
deeper and more intense than the ones I had gotten when he bit me.
Wave after wave of sensation rolled through me, sending me closer
and closer to the edge. Though I had done a good job of holding
still and submitting to his fucking up until then, I simply
couldn’t help myself—I had to move.

“Corbin,” I moaned, pumping my hips in time
to his rhythm, trying to reach that elusive peak. “God, I’m
close…so
close.”

“
Hold still!”
For a moment his deep
voice sounded almost panicked—more animal than human—and his grip
on my hips tightened until I knew I would have ten finger-and
thumb-shaped bruises there the next day.

“I’m sorry!” I gasped. I tried to hold still
but the orgasm was still coming, barreling down on me like a
freight train with no brakes. My body kept trembling as it built
inside me, threatening to drown me with its intensity.

“It’s all right, darling.” Corbin sounded
more in control now, though his voice was still hoarse with the
effort of holding himself back. “It’s all right.”

“I’m…trying not to move,” I told him, my
voice shaking. “It’s just…I’m so close and I need…I need…”

“I know what you need,” he growled. “Just
hold still and I’ll take you where you need to go.”

One of his hands slipped from my hip around
to stroke the place where we were joined. I moaned breathlessly as
I felt his long fingers spread my folds and rub my swollen clit in
just the right way.

And just like that, the orgasm was on me,
rolling over me like a tidal wave, drenching me with pleasure as I
came yet again. At the same time, I felt Corbin speeding up.

“I’m going to come in you now, Addison,” he
told me in a low, growling voice. “Going to fill your sweet pussy
with my seed. I want you to see what it feels like to be filled
with my cum.”

“Yes, Corbin,” I moaned. “Yes, Master. God,
yes.”
And then I felt his thick cock swelling even larger
inside me. With a harsh growl, Corbin gripped my hips even harder
and pushed his shaft as deeply into me as he could. And then he
began to come.

I cried out softly and shuddered helplessly
as jet after jet of hot cum spurted from the tip of his cock and
bathed the mouth of my womb. I had never felt this with a human
man—not even my fiancé when we were together. But with Corbin I
felt it—actually felt him filling me with his seed as he came
inside me.

And then it was suddenly over and he was
pulling out of me.

“Corbin?” I turned to face him, feeling
suddenly bereft and empty without his thickness filling me. What I
saw, shocked me.

His eyes were blood red and his fangs were
longer and looked sharper than I had ever seen them. God, no wonder
he’d wanted to take me from behind! If I’d seen him looking like
that while we were making love I would have freaked out for
sure.

“Uh, Corbin?” I backed away from him slowly,
not wanting to make any sudden motions and make it worse.

“Just a moment, darling. Stand back, please.”
He took a deep breath and then another. “God, your scent is so
sweet. So delicious…”

“You’ve already had my blood for tonight,” I
reminded him sharply. “Quite a lot of it, in fact. You don’t need
the rest.”

“No. No I don’t.” He took another deep breath
and slowly his eyes went back to normal. “All right. I’m all
right,” he said, nodding at me.
