Their eyes locked and Ava fell victim to his spellbinding gaze. His hand tightened around hers as he uttered the words and Ava could no longer control the building passion that had been burning inside of her since the first time she’d laid eyes on him. She leaned forward into him and kissed his lips.

Her body lit up like fireworks on the Fourth of July when their lips met and the stirring within her core heightened. Chase cupped her face with his free hand and deepened their kiss, penetrating her sweet mouth with his hungry tongue. He languished in the taste of her and she moaned softly as their tongues intertwined.

Breathing hard, Ava moved in even closer and grabbed his head with both of her hands. She pulled him onto her, pressing her soft breasts against his firm chest as she spread her legs, pushing his body against her own. Feeling him so close to her ignited a fire deep inside of her, making her breasts swell and a small moan escaped her.

“Chase,” she breathed between kisses, “I want you.”

That was all he needed to hear. Chase reached behind her and unzipped the back of her dress, pulling it down around her shoulders. He leaned down and kissed the side of her neck, inhaling her fragrance. He forced her dress and the straps of her bra down to her waist. Her luscious breasts exposed, Chase looked his fill, and then traced the rise of one breast with his finger. “Beautiful. So fucking beautiful.”

Ava arched her back and ground herself into him, feeling a hard bulge against her stomach. She ran her hands through his thick soft hair, breathing deeply, inhaling the scent of his body. His hands on her back supported her as she arched backwards, thrusting her breasts forward. Chase leaned his head down and captured one nipple between his lips. Her gasp and low moan proved to him how sensitive her breasts were, so he increased the power of his suction, taking the whole nipple deep into his mouth then releasing it slowly, laving the tip with his tongue as he released the pressure. His lips made their way over to the other breast, showing it the same attention as Ava’s breathing became more labored.

His lips made their way back up to her neck as he lifted her body upward and pulled her dress down over her hips. He forced it the rest of the way down her body, and standing, she kicked it off onto the floor. His hands found her thigh and slid upward until it reached the thin lining of her black lace panties.

He shuddered as he felt the wetness between her legs. He slid his fingers down into her panties, noticing that she was completely shaved. Ava moaned loudly as he caressed her clit, applying just the right amount of pressure to cause her back to arch in response.

She cried out, grinding onto his hand, begging for more of his intimate touch. The tips of his fingers found her slit already dripping wet with her juices. He slid a finger inside of her and she raised her hips upward, forcing it deeper.

“Oh yes!” she hissed in pure delight. Chase slid another finger into her and she cried out, lost to the passion, holding his head and burying her fingers deeply into his hair.

He felt the walls of her core trembling, squeezing his fingers hard. He inhaled the scent of her arousal, almost causing him to lose the tight grip he was holding on his control. Standing, Chase freed himself from the prison of his trousers, his rock-hard erection springing free. Ava reached down and wrapped her hands around his length causing a growl to escape his lips. She stroked him intimately, running her hands along his girth, rhythmically, as his fingers sunk into her long silky hair.

Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore. He picked her up and laid her on down on her carpeted floor. Hurrying the rest of the way out of his jeans, he knelt down and spread her legs wide, caressing her soft, creamy skin and trailing kisses down to the valley between her thighs. Ava let out a loud cry as his lips found her clit and his fingers slid into her again. His technique was so precise, bringing her right up to the edge of her climax.

“Ava, you’re so damn hot,” he hissed.

He flicked his tongue quickly against her button until she raised her hips up high, grabbed his head and screamed.

“Oh, God, Chase, I’m gonna…”

The rest of her sentence was a loud, fierce cry of intense, earth-shattering pleasure as she climaxed forcefully and her legs shook uncontrollably. Her entire body tensed up and her back arched reflexively. Hot honey exploded onto Chase’s fingers as Ava finally began to breathe again in long, deep breaths, as her orgasm started to wane.

But Chase wasn’t finished with her yet.

He trailed kisses up her navel and made his way back up to her breasts, pausing to show them each some attention before kissing his way up to her open, waiting mouth. Ava reached down and took his erection into her hand, guiding it to her wet, warm entrance. She watched as he closed his eyes and slid his length into her slowly, exhaling deeply.

“Fuck!” he hissed passionately. “You feel so fucking good, Ava.”

He opened his eyes as he began to move, thrusting into her, slowly at first, and then increasing his pace as her body moved to meet his. He locked his eyes with hers as she cried out in ecstasy, completely lost in his eyes, in the intensity of the pleasure he was giving her as he plunged into her, over and over again. His hand found her breast and he fondled it affectionately, as he moved in and out of her, bringing her closer and closer to another mind-blowing orgasm.

As she felt herself reaching the edge of her second climax, she grabbed onto Chase’s muscular buttocks and wrapped her legs around his waist, forcing him even deeper inside of her. She raised her hips upward and cried out again as her entire body shook, the tremors seeming to build in intensity, the pleasure overwhelming.

Her gripping pussy sent Chase over the edge. He couldn’t hold back any longer. With one final hard, deep, thrust he let out a loud groan, his back arching with the force of his release. His eyes turned blood red and his fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth as he exploded inside of her filling her to the brim with his essence. He closed his eyes as he collapsed on top of her, completely spent, the aftershocks still rippling through him.

He had never felt such pleasure in his entire life—and he was nearly 100 years old. He’d had sex with his fair share of vampire women in his lifetime, and even a few human women he’d met out on visits to other vampire communities around the world. He and Azalea had fucked countless times over the years—in fact, she had taken his virginity back when they were in their adolescent years—but none of it had ever compared to what he’d just experienced with this woman. It was official: there was no way he was ever going to be able to let her go.

Ava was in a sound sleep. They had moved to her bedroom and had made earth-shattering love once more before she’d finally drifted off into a deep, sound sleep.

Chase couldn’t help thinking that she looked like an angel when she slept—so peaceful and content. He gently moved a stray hair from her face and smiled down at her sleeping figure.

He checked the time on his phone and saw that it was nearly 5 a.m. He knew his parents were going to be wondering where he’d been all night and he was not looking forward to having to explain himself. The night he and Nicholai had gone to the bar, his parents had damned near had kittens over it.

As his 100th birthday neared, he was feeling the pressure of everything that was going to be expected of him; and though he felt guilty because it was the most coveted position in his clan, the mere idea of becoming the clan’s next leader had recently started to repulse him.

His parents couldn’t understand why he wasn’t excited and why he didn’t want to marry Azalea—the most appealing, intelligent and gifted female vampire in the clan; or in other words, the perfect specimen for the wife of a clan leader.

He climbed out of bed quickly and quietly, careful not to wake the sleeping beauty beside him. After dressing, he collected his phone and silently exited her house through the front door. He didn’t want to leave. He wished more than anything that he could just lie there in Ava’s arms forever, but he knew he had to get back to his home in Lexus before sunrise.

He locked Ava’s front door behind him and got into his car.

From another car parked a few hundred feet away, Azalea sat in the driver’s seat fuming with rage and jealousy. She watched with anger as Chase left the human whore’s house and headed back up toward Lexus.

Nicholai had been right. Chase really did have a new love interest and it was a wretched, disgusting mortal female.

Pure hatred burned in Azalea’s blue eyes, turning them red with fury. Her fangs began to protrude and she had to fight everything in her to not break the human woman’s door down and rip her fucking head off right then and there.
