Awakening (The Magic of the Black Forest Book 2) (29 page)

Colleen was about to rip her a new one but Bradley put his hand up to politely shoot her down.

“No, unless you can get us home within seconds because all I want is sitting to the right of me. And it’s driving me insane to be this close to her but unable to make her scream with pleasure. So if you don’t mind, I’d really appreciate it if you let go of the check so I can pay for the meal.”

A flush crept across her cheeks and she released the check.

Bradley turned to look at me. I hadn’t realized that my jaw had fallen open. Laughing he closed my mouth. “Are you going to deny that you feel the same way I do, Mrs. Jenkins?” Smiling, I shook my head no. “Good, let’s go then.”

He handed the waitress three fifties, “This should more than cover the bill. Thank you. It was nice seeing you again, Theresa.”

Everyone except for Bradley cracked up laughing the second we stepped outside. “We call the backseat,” Bradley said as he tossed Jess the keys.

“That’s not a good idea Brad, I had a few. Sorry but you need to drive.”

He sighed and took the keys back, “I guess I can wait a little longer.” Kissing my neck he buckled me in. My body yearned for his, making me gasp. “I feel the same way, love.” In a flash he was sitting next to me in the driver’s seat.

When Bradley turned on to the main road, we heard Jess telling Colleen that he used being buzzed as an excuse to be in the backseat with her.

“I guess we’re not going shopping like I was promised?” Colleen frowned unhappily.

“I don’t recall saying that. I believe that was Jess who made that promise. But if Natalia would like to go shopping, I’d be more than happy to take her.”

“No way! I can’t stand shopping. Take me home Mr. Jenkins.”

“That’s fine with us. You two are making me sick. Colleen, we’re still going shopping. We’ll have more fun without the two of them displaying all that love publicly.”

“Yay! I love shopping. I also wouldn’t mind if you showed some of your affection publicly.”

“Great. Thanks Brad!” Jess barked.

“Happy to be of service.”

The remainder of the ride Bradley and I playfully teased each other while Colleen told Jess what stores she wanted to go to. Every now and then Jess would mumble, “Thanks, Brad. And you call yourself a buddy.”

“That’s what you get for lying about being buzzed. Liars never win Jess,” Bradley joked.

We said our goodbyes and watched as they drove down the driveway. The moment they were out of sight Bradley swept me up into his arms and ran into our room.

Putting me down, he pressed his lips to my ear, “I had a wonderful time tonight.” His chilly breath sent a pleasant shiver down my back. “Did you?”

“Yes, thank you. It’s just what I needed.” My hands trembled with anticipation as I began to unbutton his shirt.

He grabbed hold of them, “You’re trembling. We don’t have to. There’s no pressure my love,” and quickly buttoned his shirt. “I’m going to feed Seager. Why don’t you get changed and we can watch a movie?” Not waiting for my response he turned and left the room.

Confused, I put up my shield and sat on my bed. We had such a good time. Clearly I’m ready. I felt it. I even had a vision of tonight. I rarely get images of our future. That’s when I realized that he’s nervous, he’s afraid of my freaking out. It’s been months since he touched me. However, I have an idea that will surely work.

“Bradley, would you mind making some popcorn for the movie?”

“Sure.” I had him hook, line and sinker.

I searched through my lingerie that Colleen bought me for our honeymoon. There was a sexy black lacey one that I wanted to wear. After finding it in the bottom dresser drawer, I quickly put it on and stood in front of the mirror. Straightaway I felt embarrassed and inexperienced. I shook the feelings aside and put on my housecoat. Grabbing a few pillows and blankets I walked into a candle lit living room.

“What…”

“Are you reading my mind?” He pointed at the bedding. “I thought we’d snuggle on the floor by the fireplace and enjoy a movie.” Taking the pillows and blankets, he laid them out, and walked into the kitchen. He returned with a drink and some popcorn. “
Marley and Me
is on. You said you wanted to see it.” He placed the tray on the table before gesturing for me to get comfortable.

“I have to brush my teeth. I’ll be right back.” It was just an excuse, to give me time to work up the courage. It didn’t take too long for me to find the courage needed to drop the housecoat and head into the living. The house was lit by candlelight, very romantic, enhancing my arousal. Bradley was already lying down watching the previews of upcoming movies.

“Are you sure you want to watch this movie, Natalia? It’s probably going to make you cry at the end.” Still he didn’t look up at me.

“I’m hoping we don’t make it to the end of the movie.”

“Are you that tired? I’ll put on Parent…” When he turned and looked up, his eyes about popped out of his head. He sat up to get a better look, which made me giggle.

“Whatever you want to watch is fine with me.” I teased. Leaning back on his hands for support, he gave me free access to his lap. I sat down, straddling my legs around his waist, pressing myself against him.

“Do you like my outfit?”

Speechless, he nodded his head yes.

I locked my fingers in his hair and kissed him passionately. His breathing quickly became shaky. Smiling, I moved my hands down to his shirt and unbuttoned it. With my lips on his neck, I pushed his shirt down over his shoulders, whispering, “You promised to make me scream tonight. Or, was that for Theresa’s benefit not mine?”

“Natalia, I don’t think you’re ready.” He wasn’t fully paying attention so I decided to take advantage and shoved his arms out from under him and he collapsed onto his back.

Laid over him, my body pressed against his. Taking his left hand I placed it on my bared ass and the other on my lower back. “If we do it this way they’ll be no begging or screaming.” I couldn’t believe it, I was seducing him. “Do you remember the first night you bit me?” I showed him an instant replay of that wonderful night. “You think you could do that to me again?” Suddenly I felt like an inexperienced girl again and blushed shyly. “I’m not very good at this seducing thing.” Before I could do or say anything else, his lips were on mine and he flipped us around and placed me on the bottom. Excited, my heart started doing somersaults.

“Natalia, looking the way you do is seductive enough. Saying the things you’re saying is very… Hot and sexy.”

Sliding off, he laid at my right side. Slowly, tenderly he skimmed my cheek with his fingertips. Sliding them down, barely touching my neck, along my shoulder where he hooked the lingerie strap and pulled it down my arm. Following the strap leading to my breast, he pulled the lace away and rubbed the back of his finger over the tip of my erect nipple, tantalizing it. Gently he flicked it with his tongue before sucking it into his mouth.

“
B-Bradley…
” There was a flutter in the pit of my stomach, my heart beating irregularly; I tangled my fingers in his soft thick hair. “
Kiss me.”

When he kissed me, it was in such a way that it should have been illegal, leaving me breathless.

He made no other moves, not until I pleaded, “Please, Bradley? I want to feel you inside me.”

Little by little, testing the waters, Bradley moved his hand down my torso and rested it between my thighs and stopped again.

Opening my eyes, I found him staring down at me. “Why did you stop?”

Ignoring my question, he rubbed his fingers over my clit and my breath hitched. When he slid his middle finger inside my pussy I let out a strangled cry, rolling my eyes upward before closing them, fully embracing his touch.

My hips rocking to his rhythm, I couldn’t get enough, I needed more of him. When his lips press on my breast again, I whimpered. It felt heavenly. Separating my legs further apart with his, he inserted a second finger and quickly I started losing control.

Reaching down, to take hold of him, I realized he was still dressed. With a snap of my fingers, I stripped him naked and began massaging and stroking the length of his shaft. The hotter he made me feel, the faster I stroked his cock.

“Bradley… please…” I groaned but he misunderstood and stopped. I gazed deeply into his eyes and whispered, “Please don’t stop, I need you inside me,
please.
” In a crushing kiss I pleaded, “
Please
.”

He positioned himself on top and tantalized me by rubbing the bulbous tip of his shaft between my lips in a circular motion, driving me insane. I couldn’t take it anymore. I reached up for him and pulled him against me. “Stop teasing me.” I giggled.

Lifting my legs, he gradually inserted his shaft into me. “Yes,” I cried out. At first our synchronized movements were slow and deep, spreading the fire throughout my body. It was too slow. Concerned I wasn’t ready, he was being too cautious. Cupping my hands around his face I reassured him, “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay. Please don’t hold back. I want all of you.”

Snarling seductively, he held me tight and his thrusts became more deliberate.
“That’s it.”
Whimpers of pleasure filled the room. He’s like an aphrodisiac. Filling me completely, I still couldn’t get enough of him. The fire in me erupted into a wild uncontrollable blaze. “Oh God, Bradley, yes,” I cried, “Don’t stop.” I begged him to go deeper and faster. “You feel so good…”

“Natalia, I want to be looking at you, please open your eyes.” Smiling, I gazed heavenly into his eyes. “May I?”

Breathless I encouraged, “Yes, on my right shoulder.” I didn’t need to say anything else, my emotions said it all. Holding me tightly he thrust himself deeply in and out, over and over again. He moaned and I whimpered from the pleasure we gave each other.

I felt his breath on my face when he chuckled, “Natalia, please.” Again I opened my eyes. I struggled to keep them open. “You’re so beautiful.”

He kissed me before caressing my ear with his lips and growling my name softly. That pushed me over the edge. Digging my nails, scratching at his granite like skin, I screamed his name in ecstasy, my body exploding as he brought me to orgasm.

Penetrating, thrusting his cock in and out, he sunk his canines into my flesh. Sucking deeply, he swallowed mouthfuls of my blood. Gripping me tightly, his body stiffened, “
Natalia
,” he grunted, “
I’m going to come
.”

Relinquishing his hold on my flesh he roared my name loudly, announcing claim over me to anyone within hearing distance. The beastly, wild, dominating outburst was erotic. Shuddering, I bit down on his shoulder, relishing another orgasm ripping through me.

Licking my shoulder, groaning, he gently rocked his hips, thrusting in and out a few more times.

“Bradley…” My voice was feeble, weak. “I love you.”

Cautiously, expecting me to freak out like I did last time, he rolled off onto the floor and braced himself for it. That wasn’t going to happen, not this time. Shoving him onto his back, I draped my body over his, resting my head on his chest.

“I’ve missed you,” I murmured in between the soft kisses pressed on his chest. When he wrapped his arms securely around me, I felt his tension ease. I sat up and looked into his eyes, smiling, “I’m okay, Bradley, I promise. Thank you.” I kissed his chest a few more times and rested my head against it again. Happier than I’d been in a long time, I hugged him.

After restarting the movie, we lay in each other’s arms watching it. Not long after it started, he put the DVD on pause.

“Natalia, there’s something that confuses me. Why do you choose different places for me to bite?”

“I wondered when you were going to ask me that.” I rolled over to look into his beautiful eyes. “I’m trying to figure out where I like it best.”

“I don’t understand.” He ran his finger down my nose then traced my lips. The warmth and tenderness of his touch brought a smile to my face.

“Well I think I like it better on my shoulder. My orgasms are much better.”

Arching an eyebrow he asked puzzled, “You do that when I bite you?”

“Yes, you can’t tell? I came twice, I usually do. Sometimes three times.” My cheeks warmed. “Before you fully changed it was more because when I bit you, I tasted you. Now, when I bite you… never mind. It doesn’t matter.”

“You can’t start saying something like that and not finish, Natalia.” He sighed unable to hide his frustration.

“It’ll upset you and I don’t want to spoil our wonderful night.” I stared at his amazing chest and ran my fingers over it. He has just the right amount of chest hair.

“Please, Natalia.” He sighed. “Would you at least let me
see
what you’re thinking?”

“No.” I giggled. “When I bite you now, it hurts my teeth, especially if I’m lost in the moment. If I bite down too hard it feels like I crack them.”

The back of his hand brushed my cheek. “I’m sorry about that. I miss it too. I would love to feel that again.” He just stared at me. I could tell he was trying to think of a way to change it but there wasn’t. When he eventually realized it, a disappointing frown appeared on his face. Seconds later he raised one eyebrow quizzically, “How long does the venom protection spell work?”
