The creamy texture of the inside of Sarah’s thighs made Reid’s balls ache. The pressure in his cock was only surpassed by the throbbing in his gums as his canines slid out and elongated. Closing his eyes, he caressed her delicate flesh with his lips, concentrated on the swooshing of blood flowing through her femoral artery. He eased her legs farther apart before gliding his touch upward and parting the folds of her pussy. With one hand he kept her open for his first languorous taste of her clitoris as he eased his finger into her slick opening.

The succulent flesh swelled in his mouth as he sucked on her, rocking his finger in and out as she made mewling sounds of pleasure and arched her back. Reid’s gut clenched with want. Hunger tore through him and made the pressure in his cock unbearable. He imagined the sweet coppery taste of her blood pouring down his throat and twisted his tongue against the flesh of her clit. She tasted so satisfying in his mouth as her muscles gripped his finger tightly. Lying on her back on their bed with her knees bent, she reached out and grabbed his head and then shuddered when he added a second finger with the first.

“Please!” she screamed.

Her desperation brought him up short; he stopped what he was doing and looked up into her wild eyes. “Are you sure about this?”

Her eyes cleared a moment before she looked at him with nothing but adoration. “Reid, you were my first love. We lost our virginity to one another; you’re my husband. I cannot bear to grow old without you. Bite me, and make us one forever.”

Reid looked into the cornflower-blue of her eyes and his heart ached. There was no way he could deny her anything. He would make her a vampire like he was and they would spend the rest of eternity together in Australia.

He gave her a gentle smile a moment before he pulled his fingers out of her and slid up her body. She gave a sigh and let go of his hair, massaging the muscles of his back. She moaned as his chest rubbed her abdomen and then brushed against her hard nipples. Shivers of delight radiated down his spine and caused goose bumps to pebble his skin. He kissed a path between her breasts before he ran his lips against her neck and nibbled her jaw line.

Her lilac scent enveloped him and caressed his senses just as her body did. He paused, looking into her eyes for even the slightest hesitation. She touched his face with her hand, grazing his cheek with the back of her fingers. She looked at his mouth and he flinched. “No. Don’t you dare look away from me. There was no other choice, and I’d rather have you as a vampire than not with me at all.” She pushed herself up and kissed his lips gently, and then she leaned back and lifted her legs so he could press himself into the liquid silk of her pussy.

Complete ecstasy traveled up his body and exploded in his head. He slid inside her, widening her tight muscles with the width of his shaft. She closed her eyes and let out a whimper, throwing her head back and exposing her neck. The veins stood out and there it was again, the swooshing as her blood pumped out of an erratic heart into her body.

Reid ground his hips into Sarah’s when she completely enveloped his cock, pausing to relish the feeling of being so tightly held by her heat. He pulled out, poised on the edge of madness by the sight of her writhing underneath him. The sound and smell of her, the heady scent of her lubrication and the rapid pace of blood rushing through her body heightened every bit of passion and love he felt for her. He plunged into her once more and groaned as her heat slipped around him once again. His nerves were alive to every touch, every movement, and pleasure sped around his body to pool in his abdomen as he increased his pace.

Sarah lifted her legs higher and placed her feet flat on his ass, using the muscles in her legs to meet every thrust he made. He buried himself into her time and time again. Every rock of their bodies released rapture, each stroke inside her causing her to mewl and him to groan in ecstasy. His whole body shook with effort, the pressure building inside his balls until he didn’t think he could take any more.

He sat up and took her with him, wrapping his arms around her. She continued to pump, putting her feet on the bed and using her position as leverage. Reid smoothed her light brown hair away from her face and growled. The sight of her covered in sweat, making love to him, and smiling at him with such blatant trust in her eyes was the last straw. She dropped her head to the left and he pushed her hair back for unobstructed access to her jugular.

He bit the inside of his mouth and tasted blood, and then he leaned into her and pressed his tongue to her pulse point. Her pussy tightened around his cock as she moved against him, their whole bodies intertwined. The urge to release inside her, to let go and come, drove him forward. He opened his mouth and bit her, sinking his teeth into the soft flesh of her neck. The muscles in her cunt spasmed and she let out a scream -- a mixture of pain and complete rapture.

The slick feel of her warm blood in his mouth mixed with his and he pushed it against her neck, making sure she would contract his vampirism.

He came and suppressed the urge to roar. He reached the pinnacle of complete bliss and hung suspended a moment before he drew the liquid of her life back into his mouth and drank deeply.

Lost in the feeling of their two bodies being as close to one as was possible, he didn’t register that Sarah clung to him weakly -- until she dropped her head backward and let out a sigh. Reid pulled back, panic causing his chest to tighten. “Oh, Sarah, what have I done?” He cupped her pale face and looked into her eyes.

“I love you, Reid.” She smiled at him, her lids closing.

“I won’t leave you. I’ll be here when you wake up.” His heart thundered in his ears. He knew what was going to come when she woke up the next night -- the fear, the confusion. There was no way he would let her go through that alone.

He laid her gently down on the bed and covered her with a sheet. He ran his hand down her face and winced as he heard the sound of her struggling heart give its last beat before silence. Reid Miller knelt beside the bed of the woman he loved as she breathed no more and wept because in essence he knew he’d drunk the life out of her.
