The smell of Nadira hit Cooper like a semi-truck slamming into a brick wall. This wasn’t her normal fragrance. It was spicier. She’s aroused. He didn’t quite understand what was happening to him, but the smell of her was driving him mad. His gums burned from the descent of his newly developed fangs. He ran his tongue along his sharp incisors as he pulled Nadira closer to him.

He remembered feeling as if he were floating in space and with a pain he had never felt before, then blacking out. The next thing he remembered was hearing Nadira’s soft whispering to him in his ears. “I love you, Cooper,” her voice said to him. The love in her voice called to him as he felt himself slipping away.

A piercing pain on the side of his neck caused him to pause, keeping him from following into the distant light that he drifted to in his peaceful abyss. Again, her voice called to him. “Cooper, drink, honey.” He remembered the warm thick fluid running down his throat, then pain again. This time, this pain was different. A burning sensation coursed through his veins; his wounds pulled together as the skin raveled itself back together, healing, leaving no trace. Bones that were fractured and broken before spontaneously mended themselves.

He felt stronger now, powerful, and fierce. Nadira’s brothers coming into the room threatening her, snatching her from him as she held him, caused him to just about lose it. This new animalistic side of him had him ready to attack. The minute he stood from the floor, he wanted to rip Nicu’s head from his shoulders. She was his mate and no one would take her from him.

Ever.

He was not sure what had come over him as the need to have her consumed him. He crushed his mouth to hers in a bruising kiss. Her gasp was all the invitation he needed to invade her mouth with his tongue. He pulled back at the slightest taste of her blood. Her eyes widened slightly when he pulled back slowly, his eyes locked on the tiny drop of blood that rested on her plump bottom lip.

He leaned forward, gently licking the blood from her mouth. His eyes met hers as he slowly sucked her bottom lip into his mouth. A moan escaped her as his naked cock hardened and strained towards her.

One drop of her blood.

He’s addicted to her.

Nadira.

His mate.

His heart pounded rapidly in his chest. Suddenly an uncontrollable need to take her, claim her, mate with her overcame him. He reached up, ripping her shirt from her body, pulling her back to him, plunging her mouth with his as he continued to rip the clothes off her.

“Too many clothes,” he muttered as he snatched her jeans off her smaller frame. Her bra and panties was no match for him in his lust-filled haze. He needed to be inside her, now. His cock demanded entrance inside of her as he grabbed her and lifted her effortlessly to the counter, fitting himself in the junction between her legs. Neither one of them paid any attention to the things that flew off the counter, crashing onto the floor.

He trailed kisses alongside her neck, scraping his canines along her neck. She threw her head back, as he reached her full breasts, suckling one pert nipple deep into his mouth. Her feminine smell drifted up to him, driving him more into a frenzy to take her into his mouth and taste her. He pushed her back forcefully onto the counter, spreading her legs as wide as he could with his forearms as he bent down to lick her slick pussy folds.

“Cooper!” Her fingers slid in his hair, pulling his face closer to her as he plunged his tongue as deep into her wet channel before finding her hidden nub. He latched onto her clit, causing her to groan his name as he ravished her pussy.

“Oh. My…” She panted, trying to squeeze her legs shut but he forced them back apart. This animalistic need to claim her was consuming him. He was in a fog and she was the only thing in his sight.

He slid two fingers into her pussy, immediately finding her special spot that caused her to scream. Her pussy muscles contracted as she rode his fingers. He swiped her pussy again with his tongue causing her to let out a growl of her own. Her ice blue eyes flashed crimson red as they locked onto him. She pushed him back, jumping down from the counter, licking his chest, nipping at it with her teeth. She continued to push him back until his legs met the infirmary bed.

A sensual smile graced her lips, revealing her fangs, as she pushed him down on the bed. She grabbed his cock in her hands, eliciting a groan from him as she stroked him with both of her hands. A tiny bead of fluid appeared on the tip of his cock. His eyes didn’t leave her crimson red as she leaned forward and licked the smooth mushroom tip. She briefly closed her eyes as she took the first taste of him. He was mesmerized watching his cock disappear into her mouth as she began sucking him, taking him deep in her throat. His chest tightened with the need to lay claim to his woman.

He snatched her up, rolling her beneath him; she wrapped her legs around his waist, allowing him to plunge his cock balls deep in her slick pussy, eliciting a scream from Nadira and a deep growl from Cooper. He paused for a moment before the innate need to bond to her took over him. As if knowing what he needed, she presented her neck to him.

“Do it,” she gasped. “Make me yours,” she said softly around her perfect little fangs. That was all the prompting he needed, his control snapped.

“Mine,” he growled.

He pulled his cock almost all the way out of her warm slippery pussy before slamming back into her as he sunk his newly developed fangs into her plump carotid artery at the same time.

He was brutal in his claiming of her, unmerciful as he pumped his cock into her. She screamed again, her body buckling as she orgasmed again. He released her neck, instinctively licking the pinprick holes to seal them closed. She turned toward him, using her vampiric strength, to flip him. They tumbled onto the floor with him landing on the bottom somehow, still seated deep in her.

She shifted her legs to straddle his waist as his hands gripped her ass, as he thrust deep up into her. She leaned down, biting him, taking in his blood. He quickened his thrust, becoming lightheaded while the lightning sensation coursed through his veins. A room-shaking growl erupted deep from within his chest as his balls drew up tight, emptying his seed deep within her womb.

Time stood still as the bond between mates wove its way around each of them, their souls blending, linking them to each other.

Forever.
