Chapter 27

☆ ☆ James ☆ ☆

Kara had gotten me good earlier. I couldn't retaliate per her dare, but I could tease her just enough to compensate for the feeling she had left me with. When she returned her plates to the kitchen, I rushed to my bedroom to grab a fur-lined coat and a rug; she would need the additional warmth until I could cause her body to heat up.

I went back to the sitting room and waited for her by the fireplace. Moments later, she returned, "Sorry, I needed to rinse my plates." I chuckled, "Here, I thought you would abandon me." She blushed, "How could I do that when you were so suspenseful?"

"Do you trust me?", I asked. Her beautiful eyes widened as she gazed into mine, "Of course I do." Her innocence never ceased to amaze me, and I licked my lips, "Strip down." She looked around shyly, "You want me to get naked right now?" I passed a wicked glance in her direction, "You can leave your panties on if that makes you feel better." 

She slowly started to remove her clothes, which fell in a pile around her feet. Her body was gorgeous, and I rushed over to her and slid the soft fur-lined coat over it. I gently kissed up her neck and left my lips lingering on her jawline. I breathed her in deeply and whispered in her ear, "Follow me." She wrapped the coat around her body, hiding its beauty from the world. She tiptoed barefoot softly behind me as I led her out of our wing. Her cheeks blushed at the thought of getting caught.

"Don't worry, Love.", I said as I felt her body tense up as we moved further from our wing. We went down the stairs so that I could take her to the elevator. When we got in, I hit the up button. She pulled the coat tighter around her as the doors started to close. She tucked herself into the corner and looked down at her feet. Her shyness was so adorable that I couldn't help but invade her space. I rested one hand against the elevator's wall and used my other to raise her head by her chin. 

Locking eyes with her, I leaned down, kissing her lips passionately. The elevator dinged, interrupting our moment; we were on the fourth floor now. I turned and led her by the wrist out of the elevator. She seemed confused, but all would be revealed soon enough. There was one more staircase that we needed to go up. 

The air was crisp, barely warm enough that snow wouldn't fall at night. The waning crescent moon was just a sliver in the night sky, allowing the stars to be admired without competing for attention. I walked over to the edge of the rooftop balcony, where we could look out over the forest surrounding the grounds. I laid the fur rug down, and her cold feet welcomed the reprieve from the frigid flooring. 

"You can relax; only the gargoyles can see us up here.", I teased. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and let her admire the beauty of the night. I, of course, was focused on her. The wind blew slightly, and the scent of honeysuckle from her skin assaulted my senses. She shivered, so I sat down and pulled her into my lap. She curled into a tight ball, allowing the coat to cover every inch of her. I kept her tightly locked in my arms and rested my chin on her shoulder. 

A single tear rolled down her cheek as she looked up at the stars. "It's breathtaking.", she said before looking at me. "It pales in comparison.", I said, and she shivered again. "Do you need help warming up?", I asked deviously. She nuzzled into me, "Mmhmm." I gently slid her off my lap onto the fur rug, laying her on to her back so she had a full view of the night sky. I slid my hand up the bottom of the coat, caressing her glorious thighs.

I continued to trace my fingers up to her panty line and hip bones, and I grabbed them forcefully, causing her back to arch. A breathy moan escaped her lips. She was so easy to turn on. I could feel the warmth radiating from within the coat. I removed my hands and leaned on top of her, resting my forearms on either side of her face. I leaned down and traced my tongue up her neck and jawline. 

She whimpered beneath my presence and spread her legs, inviting me in closer. My body obliged her request. She delicately traced her trembling fingers up my triceps to the middle of my back. As I leaned down to kiss her, her fingers ran down my ribs and grabbed my waistband, pulling me closer to her. She let out another moan as I pulled her lower lip with my teeth. The familiar taste of copper flooded my mouth, and the demon awoke.

I knew I would have to control him, I needed to wait to feed on her when we completed our blood bond; fuck, it was tempting. I lifted my body, only to realize that the fur coat was no longer covering her chest. Her body was radiating heat, and I could see steam rising off of her in the cold air. I traced her shoulder to her collarbone with kisses, pausing at the prominence just below her neck.

My demon beckoned me to move upward, but I slowly made my way down to her core instead. Once I got to her panty line, she let out another moan and spread her legs even further. Her fingers found my head, and she gently gripped them around the strands of my hair. Her arms pressed her breasts together, but my hands were unable to reach them in my current position. I obeyed her desires and moved my mouth further down. Her panties were drenched with anticipation, and I eagerly pushed them to the side. 

My tongue lapped between her thighs as though it had a mind of its own. My eyes darkened even more as my demon begged to play with his mate, too. He desperately wanted me to sink my fangs into her femoral artery. Instead, I paused and sank my teeth deeply into my own wrist. I watched the blood flow eagerly out of me. My demon and I were in sync about one thing at least, and that was pleasing her. 

My blood formed two visible strands and began tracing her delicate body. It was as though I had four hands, all of which were dedicated to satisfying Kara. One strand engulfed her breasts and gently suctioned around her already-hardened nipples. The other gently traced the curves of her body as lightly as a feather. Once I knew that they were cooperating, I went back down. 

I used the hand that wasn't controlling the hemokinesis to spread her eager, dripping lips allowing me to drink her desires as my thumb gently swirled on her clit. Her pleasurable moans and her fingers grasping more tightly around the strands of my hair told me that she was close.

Her body twitched and shivered at the stimuli I was providing, and as she orgasimed, her thighs clenched around my head. I pulled my blood back into my body as the demon was satisfied now, too. I continued to drink her and play with her clit. Her body convulsed, and she sat up; my head stayed buried between her legs, not giving her a moment of rest. 

She pulled my face away from her core. I gazed upon her body; the fur coat was hanging off her shoulders, only covering her arms and the small of her back now. Regardless, she was on fire now, ignighted by our intimate moment, and the cold air didn't phase her. She kissed me passionately, tasting her own orgasm on my lips, and let out another steamy moan into the sky. 

She undid my belt and unzipped my pants with one hand. Her other hand was at the nape of my neck, preventing me from leaving as she took her excess juices from my mouth. She straddled me, and I could still feel the wetness between her legs grinding against my erect cock. I grabbed the small of her back, and we moved our bodies in unison. Her hair was wet with sweat and had started crystalizing in her heightened position, where she was more exposed to the elements. The shimmering stars reflected on the ice crystals, enhancing her beauty. 

Her body started to convulse again as she climaxed against my throbbing erection; I was close, too. I grabbed her hair and forced her mouth around my cock. She greedily sucked off her own orgasm before swallowing mine as I came. I twitched as she kept bobbing up and down on the sensitive tip. I wanted desperately to penetrate her right then and there, but I knew the elements were going to get to her sooner than later. I would always put her before my own selfish needs.
