They&039;d walked through the forest together, naked like a gothic Adam and Eve Jacob&039;s arled in her hair so he could hold her close The night had seemed heavy with the presence of supernatural creatures, thewith hi in his vitals, a si in his blood he was sure were effects of his new third mark Her slim arm was around his waist, her palm on his bare hip Periodically, she lifted her touch to his back to trace the visible evidence of the mark, a scar that looked like the prehistoric fossil of a serpent, twisting from the nape of his neck to the base of his spine A reminder of her claily surrendered The first raphi- cally The second mark had allowed her access to his iven her his soul He was bound to his vampire Mistress on every level now, a full huh road, despite the fact he&039;d coo

Before that, he&039;d trained to be her servant, tutored under the hand of her dying ser- vant, Thoe or consent, she&039;d resisted Jacob&039;s introduction at first In the end, with nothing but Thomas&039;s sealed reco perhaps a lot bigger than any one of them, they&039;d reached this point When she stu from her Fey form back to vampire, a unique ability only known to hiile than it should be With barely a pause in stride, he lifted her Accepting it, she linked her arms around his neck and laid her cheek on his chest, her face nestled under his jaw Her nose tilted up to rub against the smooth trim of his beard "I want a bath, Jacob I want you to bathe ht you caing her lips to his throat, she scraped a sharp fang over hi her access The e of arousal Not only did her lightest touch stihtened senses, she&039;d opened her mind to his Since he&039;d received the second mark he&039;d been able to hide little frohts froness to be open to hiht, added fuel to the fire between the of liainst flesh He also saw in the erotic swirl of her thoughts that she liked the way he offered his throat without hesitation to her, that it never failed to arouse her When he gave her back a few ies of his own, she covered his lips with herpressure of his As she drew back, her lashes fell over her eyes in a half-lidded expression he knew signaled a ood servant would Pretend to be a eunuch who cares only that his Mistress is clean and well cosseted, her sore ed, her skin perfumed and ht And of course, you&039;ll stand in the corner and watch " "Your hair brushed until it&039;s like silk, " he agreed h it to caress your neck, your shoulders I&039;ll rub oil into your breasts and slick it down your sto it into the lips of your cunt for that lover you anticipate taking to your bed He&039;ll ease into you like butter He kept his pace toward the house casual, sauntering, playing her ga into a sprint She&039;d appreciate his restraint, even as she&039;d try to make hiracious loser Loser? He stifled a grin at the ht "Like butter?" She spoke the words now, arching a brow "Oh, I don&039;t think there&039;s enough lubricant for that My lover has a very big cock Long and thick When it pushes intoit " Her voice became a sultry purr, a green eyes "The way I like it " When she freed one hand from his neck to reach down between the her hand over his steel length, she let her thuabond You&039;re ed from the forest preserve into the s waiting for therass or sat, eyes shining in the night, theBran stood just ahead of the pack, the lead wolfhound&039;s pale body a ghost in the ht " "We all have " She tightened her ar her, her soft curves pressing into his hard ones Once in her bedroom, he laid her on the bed before heto her specifica- tions He kept a discreet eye on her as he perfor, she closed her eyes, her face turning to the pil- low as she let some of her weariness have her

Because of that, when he had the bath prepared, he cauain He made a conscious effort to keep his mind away froy to walk back to the house on her own This night was not going to be about that She&039;d given his, her arms, whatever she needed him to be forever No matter what, she&039;d never be alone When he put her in the tub where she could sit propped up in the corner and stepped in to begin her bath, she ran her hand up his hard thigh, tracing the musculature there Obedient to her wishes, he didn&039;t interfere with her casual fondling, though his cock ju for the shower sprayer, he switched the water floet her hair She closed her eyes as he went to one knee be- fore her His handover her face She tilted her chin, and he adjusted the spray appropri- ately to avoid getting it into her nose Thanks to Thomas, her previ- ous servant, he ell trained in the doed to please her as a lover He sha, he used the pitcher on the side of the tub to rinse her The silken strands of her hair floated in the water around her arathered around the curves of her breasts When he pressed a hand towel to her face, he co her to open her eyes at length without having to blink a drop away fro lashes She retrieved the soap from his hands and washed his chest, the curves of his pectorals, pinching his nipples Running her palms over the wide expanse of his shoulders, she followed the line of silken chest hair down over his sectioned stoh to brush his belly in response to her caress He knew that touching hi his physical response, intensified her reac- tion She could see the things he wanted to do to her She scraped hih her own abond A dead e of bathing with you As he well knew, the ability to chastise hiae of her lust She gave him sos restrained while she taunted his Used a whip to ertips, the press of her lips Two could play it this way He guided her to her feet to wash the parts he&039;d been unable to do under the waterline Standing up be- hind her, he cupped her breasts, rubbing the nipples between his fingers so she arched into his touch while he pressed against her, his very non-eunuch cock prodding her buttocks With the soap sliding into that channel, it was easy for him to rub hirasp her cheeks in both hands and bring hi that But instead he turned her so he could kneel and run soap-slicked hands under the curves of her breasts, over her belly, down to her thighs and calves Picking up the pitcher, she poured water over his head, then let the pitcher float away as she ran her hands over his skull, threaded her fingers through his hair When he lifted his face at her insistent touch, she followed the al away the water so he could raise his lashes It is odd, Jacob I feel as if I&039;ve done this beforeLike dj vu She did it again, e was too elusive and the desire to siaze So he continued his ently put his hand between her legs to wash her pussy Opening her stance in response, she bit her lip as he cleaned and stiers With her mind open to him, he could see how tired she was, yet her body was in a pleasant yearningto stay like this, touched and teased by him forever

Her servant Three marks Forever hers She wanted a nap But she also wanted to be fucked by hiht of it in a different way, but the pries of the forest were still too close She swayed "Here, e her to lie down in the tub again This ti in the cradle of his body, her upper torso propped on his chest, head relaxed on his shoulder He captured the pitcher and poured water over her breasts, using the interference of his hand to slow the stream, make it trickle over her Water ran over her small curves, then rejoined the swirls of soapy foa in the tub and clinging to her He had one knee propped up, allowing her to lean her body into that side of hih, she turned enough to mold it to his botto on her face, her mouth, her chin He let her hear every murmured desire of his body that came into his ht he was, inside and out How for the first ti, she didn&039;t feel alone That she trusted hi, let- ting the water flow evenon the nipple areas so she began to anticipate, her body lift ing to the sti over, he turned the jets of the Jacuzzi on, working fro her rib cage, the outer hs When he turned her in his ars so her calves rested on the slick surface of the wall built around the tub As he eased her toward the side of the tub, he could tell froh her expression she understood his plan a moment before he positioned her in front of one of the un- derwater jets Let your eunuch make sure you&039;re slick and ready for that lover of yours, ed by his soapy fingers As she bucked up with a gasp, he held her, giving her an an- chor with an ar down on the tops of her breasts, increasing their sensitivity to the water that lapped across them fro her in position while he reached under her with the other hand and palle where she was even ripped his thigh, usinghis fingers between her buttocks, playing with her ri floater drive her Her breasts, just the tips, were out of the water, jutting hard and erect fro level of arousal Go over, h her exhausted body the way surf would wash over her if she lay on a beach within the tide line He wanted the climax to ripple over every exposed nerve, one nerve at a ti the side of her face into his shoulder and nipping at hi on As she undulated, his cock pressed into her hip, eager to serve her, and he could tell that spurred her even higher The power of denial, e she could have hi with all of it when he let her sink back into the cradle of his lap, reers "My lady" He whispered it huskily, holding her close, al pieces of their od would listen that he would never fail her, the woman as the answer to a lifeties of dark and light, wonder and happiness, violence and pain His lady had led the proverbial inter- esting life She was his destiny He&039;d known it from the first time he&039;d seen her Whenever, whatever lifetiainst his so they intertwined with his She fell asleep that way, unconcerned about his arousal pinioned under the soft flesh of her right buttock

Or rather, highly cognizant of it and indulging a Mistress&039;s pleasure inhim wait However, he found himself oddly content to stay in this position, be her bed and hold her above the water Though she had no danger of drowning, he didn&039;t want her sleep disturbed While he didn&039;t know the mood she&039;d be in when she surfaced, since she was capricious in that regard, he had no illusion tonight&039;s ht a servant re- ceived his third mark was a honeymoon period Even if his lady&039;s mood prevailed, because of the illness she suffered and the chal- lenges they faced, this honeymoon would be far shorter than either of the to the present and far less pleasant matters, Jacob focused on what Debra had told hi hirief and stubborn guilt She&039;d lost her husband, Rex, and her servant, Thomas, within the past two years While she still hadn&039;t shared the full story with hiotten the fatal disease that soiven him a horrific idea of how Rex had accomplished it Lyssa had killed her husband herself when she found out he was responsible for Thomas&039;s death She&039;d then had to make the vampire world believe the honorable and always loyal Thomas had poisoned and staked Rex and she&039;d killed the servant as punishment Despite her Machiavellian nature, she was also a woman It was a web of lies and deceptions that would have broken any woman&039;s heart In the end, Jacob realized she didn&039;t want to give him the thirdhied, cajoled In what he knew she still considered a weak moment on her part, he&039;d convinced her His choice He wasn&039;t afraid of death He was afraid of being where he couldn&039;t protect her Love her And with the thirdher own life and give her more of the precious time she needed

If only Brian and his fellow vaeeks had known about Thomas, been able to study him until his death Andrev was a born vampire, from human and vampire parents Lyssa was born va vampire with powers no other vao differently for her If only they didn&039;t have to hide it But va she&039;d built Carnal, the vampire who&039;d been made by Lyssa&039;s late husband, Rex Carnal preferred a world where humans would be cattle for the bloodthirsty whims of the vampires As the number of born vampires had decreased, the Vaainst her advice A growing number of these made vampires, whose impulse control and bloodlust were not as well controlled as their older, born breth- ren, were iain, Jacob pressed on the bridge of his nose, relieving the tension building in his head with his thoughts The vampire world existed in prosperous harmony in the shadows of the human-dominated world primarily because of her efforts over the past several centuries to establish the current Vampire Council structure The elaborate ritual courtesies and rules had created a bal- ance between vampire bloodlust and blood need In va It had only been in existence for the past couple of centuries, following some bloody territory wars to enforce it, of which she&039;d been a terrifying part She was the Council&039;sthe vampires, she didn&039;t sit on the Council but was con- sidered an important advisory member of it Over a thousand years old, the lie unknown, she was all too aware that when she died, the Council would have to ainst those like Carnal She had over fift y varanted asylu was the vital turning point At the event that occurred every five years, she would petition for perth of the Council in any way possible with her presence as their queen

If she got through the Council Gathering without suspicion, even if she died soon thereafter--and his ht-- the illusion that she was still around would be in place long enough for her valy It was not un- usual for a vao into seclusion for extended periods, coh her ser- vant or other trusted agents She could conceivably be gone five years before the truth was known He was helping her put all the pieces in place for that illusion if needed, and she would consolidate it with the contacts she would ht be Places her fugitives and even her legitiion She was finally trusting hi more than to focus fully on ould cure her of this damn disease, keep her alive and vibrant forever "You do realize I could have slit your throat three ti?"

Jacob&039;s eyes snapped open Thein the chair across fros the way Debra had He wore a pair of worn jeans, a dark T-shirt and a bomber jacket Jacob was certain hid an array of weaponry Probably a nine auntlets There&039;d be a knife scabbard on his left calf, another down the back He hadn&039;t had his hair cut in a while, and the shave looked a couple of days old Still, the glittering blue eyes of his brother were as vibrant as his own, though Gideon&039;s face held far more lines and his hair was threaded hite The result of lifestyle, not age Only a handspan of years separated thes "Gideon " "I thought about shooting you right here, but I was curious I wanted to knohy you&039;ve lost your fucking nored the startled and offended looks of nearby patrons Rising, he jerked his thuo soet a late breakfast You&039;re buying " He strode toward the door with apparently no doubt Jacob would follow Jacob reflected darkly that there appeared to be far too ht they could order hi better and better
