Dragan's Redemption Book One of the Manor at Echo Lake Trilogy (20 page)

“Dragan?”

“Shhhh.”  Pressing his finger to her mouth, he shook his head before low
er
ing
his
down to capture her lips
with his mouth.  Pressing hard
,
he coaxed her mouth open running his
tongue
over hers.  Sliding her hands up over his
broad
shoulders to the back of his head, she ran her fingers through his hair. 
When she felt him
p
ull away
from the kiss
,
she grabbed his bottom lip with her teeth as he had done with her while a groan escaped from
him
at the pleasure/pain she caused.  Pushing against her so that she was laying flat on her back, he slowly unbuttoned her nightgown
opening
it wide so that he could feast on
her
nakedness. 
Quickly
rolling on top of
her
,
Amira
spread
her legs to
accommodate
his weight
;
realizing
too late
this only brought the evidence of his desire hard against her.
Dragan
slid a hand under her as he
thrust his hips
watching as
she closed her eyes as a wave of something she had never felt
before
bolted through her.  Wrapping her arms around
his waist,
she tugged at his shirt that was tucked in his pants with an
urgency
she
could not
control.
  Feeling the fabric come free
,
she ran both her hands up his back feeling every indentation and
muscle
that rippled
under her touch
.

Rolling
off
her, he sat up on the
edge
of the chaise, holding his head in his hands. 
Kneeling
behind him, she placed her hand on his back.
Leaning in pressing her bare breasts against him
,
she whispered in his ear.

“Dragan, please take me upstairs.”

“You do not know what you are asking of me…”

“
Please…
don’t say no.  Not tonight.”

Turning his head
to
look at her, their eyes locked.  Standing abruptly, she thought he was going to walk out of the room but instead hauled her up
off
the chair and into
his arms.  She instinctively wr
apped her legs around his waist as his hands held her up.   With strong, purposeful strides
,
he carried her up the stairs until he reached his bedroom.  Still holding her tightly, he pushed her hard against his door
,
staring down at her lips that were already swollen from his kisses.

“Last chance, Amira.  If I take you th
rough this door, you are mine and you will not
be
the same person you were when you walk out. 
Are you
prepared for that?  Is that
what you want
?
”

Grabbing his face in her hands
,
she leaned in whispering in his ear, “I have never wanted anything more than wanting you right here, right now.  Please
,
Dragan.”

Shifting her in his arms
,
he
brutally
ravaged her mouth as he turned the handle on the door before stepping over the threshold
,
slamming it shut with his foot.
  For Dr
agan, there was no turning back
,
and he wondered if he was going to be the one changed tonight instead of her.

Throwing
her
on the
bed, she watched as he ripped off his shirt, buttons flying.  He looked wild and so hot.  Easing to the edge of the bed toward
him,
she knelt
pulling
him closer to her
as her
hands touched him through his jeans while h
is hands slid up under her nightgown cupping,
and then
squeezing her backside through her underwear, her stomach pressed against his erection.  Moaning
,
he crushed his mouth to hers again
,
devouring her up in his need.  Gasping for breath
,
she turned her head to the side as he raked his teeth down her neck.  Finding her pulse with the tips
of his fangs
,
he could feel her lifeblood so close ready for him.
  The pressure behind his eyes w
as
unbearable.

“Do you want that?”  She sounded frightened
but did not pull
away;
he did not want
to
m
ake her afraid.

“No my love,
r
ight now the only thing I want is to be driving deep inside of you.
”
  Amira’s stomach
lurched with
excitement at his words
.

Pulling back
,
he grabbed her nightgown in both hands
,
hearing her gasp as he ripped it in two before dropping it to the floor.  Still kneeling
,
he watched as she quickly covered her naked breasts with
h
er hands.
“No, Amira.  You
must
never hide from me, especially after what I am going to do with you.”

Wide eyed
,
she looked at his face.  “What are you going to do?”

Pulling both of her hands away from her body, he cupped both of her breasts with his own, squeezing gently while watching her close her eyes in pleasure.  “You have to wait and see won’t you.
”
  Dropping his h
e
ad to her mouth, he kissed her gently this time before licking his way down her skin
,
before
taking a breast in his mouth. 
Suckling
gently at first
,
she gasped when he started to suck harder first on one breast and then the other.

“Oh, that feels so great.  Please don’t stop!”

Placing one knee on the bed
,
he pushed on her causing her to fall back onto the bed with her still in his mouth.  She could feel him
pulsating
through his jeans as he pressed on her.  His heat worked its way through the thin fabric of her
underwear
.  Grinding his hips into her while sliding a hand under her to lift up her leg
,
she felt like she was on fire.

“Dragan, please.”

“Please what
,
Amira
?
  Tell me what you like.  I want
to
please you like no other has before me.”  His breath was hot on her skin.

C
onfused
,
she looked down at the top of his head as he slowly worked his way licking her stomach
knowing
she
had to tell him
.

“Dragan, I have never…” her words caught in her throat as he slipped his hand
beneath
her
underwear
before sliding
a finger
into her. 

They moaned in unison, her at the pleasure she was feeling having first one th
e
n two fingers slide into her
,
and he at feeling how hot and wet she was for him.
“What have you never, Amira
?
”    He had to have more of her.  Reaching up to her hips
,
he ripped the thin
fabric
off
her before sliding a finger back inside of
.
 

“I am going to have to buy you another wardrobe.”
Working his lips back up her body as his thumb pressed against her, he felt her hips moving in a
rhythm
older than time.  With great pleasure
,
he realized that she was getting ready to come
,
and he wanted nothing more
than
to feel her tighten around his hand.  Quickly pressing against her mouth, he felt her wrap her arms around his neck crying out his name as she pulsed hard.  His body jerked
,
and
Dragan
realized that he had to gain control or he was going to
lose it.
  When her body eased
its
shuddering,
he stood up
,
removing his jeans before
lying
back down onto her.

He wanted her more than life itself
.
 
S
preading
her legs wide
,
he kissed her stomach before inching lower towards her core.  “No
,
Dragan! 
Please!  I want you
inside of me.”

Pushing himself up onto his elbows
,
he pressed down on her.  “Amira, guide me into you.”

Reaching between
them
, she ran her fingers down his
chest and still
lower
until she found him
.
Squeezing gently s
he
was
rewarded
with a
guttural
moan
.

“If you do not stop, w
e will be finishing this in a way that is not as
satisfying
for the both of us.”

Placing the tip of him at her center, he groaned, taking deep gasping breaths
,
feel
ing
her warmth spread around him.

“I need you
,
Amira….are you ready my love?”

Emerald green met dark eyes
,
and she nodded.  Staring at her
,
he drove his hips hard
up and into her.  Feeling her rip apart inside
,
he froze,
stunned as he watched
the
flash
of pain that
crossed her
face.

His body stilled.  There was no way this could have just happened
.
“Amira?
  Sweetheart….oh my God.
”

The smell of new blood confirmed what he already knew
,
and he wanted to pull away from her
,
but h
e
already
felt
small
movements
from her hips as she moved
against him
moaning
causing him to lose all control. 
He tried to be gentle
,
but
her blood
scent was strong coating him
,
and it was too
much
for the vampire in him
.  His hips bucked
,
and he thrust
in and out of her, m
oving with a passion he never felt
before
,
causing
the bed
to
shudder
under his assault
on her body
.  Amira met his passion with everything she had inside of her
unable to stop
the emotion
and desire
build
ing
up inside of her
.  Crying out his name, she
tumbl
ed
over the edge
of her desire
.  Only when
Dragan
felt her tightening around him, did he allow himself to let g
o.  His body convulsed over hers, losing himself
deep inside of her.

She looked beautiful,
lying
among the large pillows on his bed, her body splayed in the aftermath of
their
lovemaking
.  Dragan could not
understand
how such beauty could have remained a
virgin
for this long.  Running his hands over her skin
,
he noted the tiny
bruises
where he had been a bit too rough with her.  The scent of blood was
still
strong in the room
,
and he looked down in
disbelief
at seeing the red that tinged her thighs
while
tears filled his eyes. 
Bending down to
her skin, he licked at the blood the tiny drop rushing through his
system
making him want more.  Gently
,
he eased her legs apart
as he ran his
tongue along her
skin
.  Her blood was sweet.  The guilt within
him
grew strong
er
. 
He should never have taken her this way
,
and he wished she had told him.
Dragan rolled
onto his back
away from her
cover
ing
his face with his arm.
