“You are most beautiful when you blush,” Nikolai confessed.  “It is making me want to suggest very naughty things, just to see your cheeks turn that lovely color.”<br/><br/>Passionately, Nikolai returned Lilith’s kisses, very pleased  that she had agreed to share blood with him.  Not only would it help her heal faster, but it would bind them together on a very deep level.  After this, they would be able to sense things about each other, even when they were far apart.  And they would crave each other -- the blood of the other would be like a wonderfully intoxicating drug.  Some vampires used that craving to control their favorite slaves, but it was a double edged sword, because the vampire also became dependent.<br/><br/>Allowing Lilith’s hands to guide him, Nikolai lay back on the bed.  She looked absolutely amazing straddling him -- red hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall made of flame, round breasts hanging in the air like ripe fruits waiting to be plucked.  And from that vantage, she could certainly see the size and hardness of his own arousal.  Arching his hips, Nikolai rubbed himself against Lilith, his eyes bright with desire.  He could feel that her opening was still wet with the nectar she’d spilled earlier.<br/><br/>Nikolai groaned when Lilith suckled his skin, his hips bucking upward again.  The smallest touch from her awakened such fierce hunger in him.  But as much as he was enjoying her ministrations, it wasn’t in his nature to be the passive one.  Gripping Lilith’s shoulders, Nikolai rolled them both over, until he was the one on top.  Again, his hands found her breasts, rubbing and squeezing them.  At the same time, his kisses covered her throat, hot like tiny branding irons as he searched for the place where her pulse flowed the most strongly.  He could hear her heart thundering in her chest, feel her blood rushing beneath her skin, and it taunted him like a starving man staring in through the window of a fancy restaurant.<br/><br/>He’d held himself back earlier.  But he couldn’t hold back anymore.  The need to feed wasn't the only need that now demanded to be satisfied.  He wanted to be inside her while he drank, wanted another orgasm to propel her blood into his mouth.  “Lili,” Nikolai whispered in her ear, gently spreading her legs apart as far as they would go.  “Take a deep breath and try to relax.”
