Four months ago

Filming for Vampire Legend had ended for the season and Rachel was relieved to move in to Vlad’s Las Vegas condo until the end of hockey season. Things had been good between them and she wanted to be with him as much as possible. Their relationship had shifted at some point in the last month or so, and he made her happier than she’d been in a long time. It had been tough getting him to relax, to trust in her and in them as a couple, but now that he did, it was glorious. He was sweet, sexy, and eager to please without being clingy. She loved how protective he was of her, especially when they were out and fans recognized her. It was great because he wasn’t jealous so much as concerned about her safety. She was slight compared to most men and when they approached her aggressively, he went into what she lovingly called Bodyguard Mode.

She’d never been into the overbearing, alpha male types who acted like a woman couldn’t take care of herself, but in this instance, it was comforting and sweet. She had no complaints, and things in the bedroom were out of this world. There were no words to describe how good it was between them. They had more sex than she’d ever had with anyone when they were together. Four or five times a day if he didn’t have a game, and at least twice if he did. Obviously, they were apart when he had to go on road trips with the team and while she’d been working in L.A., but now that they lived together it was constant and as passionate as she could’ve asked for from anyone. Ironically, he was also the most vanilla lover she’d ever had, not particularly interested in bondage, spanking, or toys—he worked his magic with his fingers, mouth, and cock.

Rachel had always enjoyed a little kink but she didn’t miss it with Vlad. For one thing, he was hung like the proverbial horse. She’d heard Tessa talk about Toli’s massive dick, but Rachel had a feeling Vlad could give him a run for his money; there must be something about Russian men having big ones. She let out an involuntary snort at the thought, causing Vlad to look over at her.

“What’s got you giggling?” Vlad murmured, rolling over in bed and nestling against her chest.

“Thinking about your big dick,” she teased, running her fingers through his hair.

“You want more?” His eyes drifted up to meet hers playfully; it took Vlad about ten seconds to get hard and no more than a few minutes to get it up again after they’d had sex.

“I always want more lately,” she whispered, leaning down to seek out his firm, supple lips. “I can’t seem to get enough of you. The first time you told me you loved me hypnotized my vagina into a sex fiend.”

“I like this sex fiend business.” He promptly flipped her onto her back, his much larger body covering hers.

“Me, too.” She opened her mouth for him, letting him suck hard on her tongue. Oh, this guy could kiss. Every time his lips claimed hers she lost herself in him. Sometimes it was like being under some kind of spell in the bedroom. She liked sex and had always had an abundance of it when she’d been in relationships, but it had never been quite like this.

His mouth was traveling down her firm, flat stomach, and she sighed, knowing what was coming. He surprised her, though, flipping her onto her stomach and pulling her by the hips so she was on her knees. She felt his warm breath between her legs and shivered with sheer need. He nuzzled her most intimate places with his face, his lips, nose, even his chin. When she tried to spread her legs, he held them together with his hands.

“Don’t move,” he whispered. “Like this is better, more intense.”

When his tongue swiped up her slit, she hissed out a breath of satisfaction. He was wickedly attentive with his mouth, and she squirmed, desperate to open her legs to give him more access. He held her fast, his hands keeping her in place while his mouth did things that made her pant. As he slid up higher to her second hole, she moaned deep in her chest; it had been a long time since anyone had been there and it never got less naughty. She loved it, but Vlad hadn’t seemed interested, so she hadn’t brought it up. Now she was practically delirious with desire, rocking back against him until she slapped her hand down on the bed.

“Vlad, please… More!”

He took his time, teasing up and down her lips before finally pushing inside of her with his tongue. He added a finger, alternating strokes until she shrieked his name and her juices coated his face as she came. Without waiting for her to finish, he rose to his knees and pushed his cock into her with a swiftness that made them both grunt. His thick hardness ignited every nerve in her body and sent her over the edge again immediately, leaving her breathless.

“Oh, fuck fuck fuck!” She moved back against him, meeting his thrusts, craving a little bit of pain to go with so much pleasure. “Pull my hair,” she whispered. “Please.”

Vlad hesitated, but a moment later he wrapped her thick hair in his fist. “I don’t want to hurt you,” he ground out.

“You won’t. You can pull hard—I like it.”

He was tentative at first, but each time she moaned or cried out, his touch got harder.

“Yes, yes, yes…” Her body burned with need, the burning in her scalp intensifying the immense pressure between her legs. Even after two orgasms she was on the brink again, every inch of skin hypersensitive to the way he slammed into her while simultaneously yanking her head back.

“Rachel…” His voice told her he was on the edge, too, and she clenched tightly, picking up the pace as he raced towards release.

“Shit!” She exploded around him, jerking over and over, the feeling of him spilling himself inside of her exciting her all over again.

They collapsed together, with Rachel on her stomach and Vlad still half on top of her, half on the bed.

“Was I too rough?” he asked, the fingers of one hand gently massaging her scalp as his other hand cupped her hip.

“Mmm, no.” She smiled, practically purring against his side.

“You like rough like this?”

“A little,” she whispered. “Is that okay?”

“Yes, it’s hot as hell.” He rolled to his side and pulled her up against his chest. “I just never thought… I don’t know, I didn’t realize you liked it.”

“Not every time,” she said. “I like it sometimes, it spices things up.”

“What else do you like?” he asked, nibbling her shoulder.

“Almost everything.” She giggled. “It’s probably easier to ask what I don’t like.”

“Okay.” He chuckled. “What don’t you like?”

“I like to be spanked, but only on my ass or legs. I don’t ever want to be hit in the face, even if it’s in the context of sex.”

Vlad grimaced. “Honestly, even if you asked me to hit you in the face, I couldn’t do it. That’s just…wrong somehow.”

She nestled closer. “You get me—one of many reasons I love you.”

“What else?”

“No breath play.”

“What?”

“Choking? Anything that has your hands around my neck, squeezing. I don’t mind a little choking if I’m sucking your dick, but not your hands.”

“Who the hell have you been sleeping with?” he demanded. “I’ve never hit a woman in the face, never choked, never bit beyond a hickey, nothing like that. I’m starting to feel a little naïve.”

She shook her head. “I’m just telling you I’m open to almost anything, but hitting is mostly limited to my ass, no choking or breath play, and nothing that involves defecation.”

Vlad blinked, leaning over to look at her. “Does this mean…”

She giggled. “Yeah, and ew, no.”

He shuddered. “I have been with a lot of women, but I can honestly say none of that sounds like fun. I’m also not a fan of golden showers.”

“Have you done it?”

He grimaced. “Once, with a prostitute in Russia. It was disgusting. I just wanted to shower.”

They laughed together and she turned so they were face-to-face. “Am I too kinky for you?”

“No. I’ll admit I haven’t tried most of that stuff.”

“Are you into anal?”

“I’ve done it with one woman, but most women say I’m too big.”

She reached down to stroke his cock, noting it was already semi-erect again. “You’re definitely big, but never too big. Sometime, if you feel like it, I’ll show you it’s not about size so much as finesse.”

“I’ll do anything you want,” he said, lowering his mouth to hers and kissing her softly.

“I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.” She pulled away slightly and met his eyes worriedly.

“Uncomfortable? You want me to spank your gorgeous ass and fuck you harder than I’ve ever fucked anyone and you think I’m uncomfortable? Most guys wait their whole lives for a woman like that, and I already have you. I don’t have a lot of experience doing that kind of thing, so my concern would be hurting you, but other than that, I’m ready.”

“My favorite thing is having my hair pulled. If you swat my ass once in a while, I’ll be complete. Seriously.”

“I can do that.”

“It’s mostly trust,” she admitted. “As long as we trust each other, the bedroom should be a playground for us.”

“I trust you. Do you trust me?”

“More than anyone in the world.”

“That’s the most beautiful thing anyone’s ever said to me.” He ran a soft finger along her cheek.

“It’s true.”

His eyes turned mischievous. “Then perhaps it’s playtime.”

Her eyes widened with delight. “And I might need a spanking.”
