“If you’re okay with that. You said you’ve always wanted to try it.”

“God, yes, I can’t wait.”

Pleased we aren’t dissecting the show that I was just subjected to, we head to the bike. I help Erin with the jacket and helmet. When she slides behind me and grips my waist, I have to admit it turns me on instantaneously. I think I need some alone time with my vibrator this evening. There is only so much sexual frustration a vampire can take.

Nothing beats a ride, but with Erin on the back, it’s perfect. She is a natural, leaning when I lean, shifting her weight when necessary. After an hour, I pull off. There is a beach I love that is usually quiet.

“It’s beautiful here,” Erin says.

“It’s one of my favorite places.”

“I can see why.”

We fall silent, but it’s comfortable. Both of us are taking in the sun, smelling the sea air.

“I’m sorry about Mack,” Erin sighs.

“You have nothing to be sorry for. You guys are dating.”

“Yeah, but that was a bit much this morning.”

“Taking a wild guess, Mack isn’t totally happy you’re dating me too, right?”

“She said she was fine with it. But, no, after that display, I think she’s finding it hard.”

“Do you want me to back off?”

“No!”

I grin at how fast she answers. “Are you sure? I don’t want to cause you hassle, Erin.”

“I like Mack, but I like you too. I’ve been honest about that. I’ll talk to her.”

“Don’t do that on my account. Really, it doesn’t bother me.”

“It bothers me.”

Time for a little honesty. “I am kind of jealous she gets to kiss you, though.” Erin turns away from the ocean to look at me.

“I never said you couldn’t kiss me, Amelia.”

Bingo! Turning to face her. I take a small step forward. Her chest is rising fast, and I know she’s excited. Hell, I’m excited. I can’t explain what my body is feeling.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, I let my fingers glide down her jaw, stopping at her chin. Lifting her head slightly, I slowly draw in. I want her to remember this. I want her to see the want in my eyes as we share our first kiss. I want her to feel the raw power of us.

Thirteen

I’ve dreamed about that kiss for the past three nights. Nothing in my twenty-nine years has ever left me feeling so high, or full of wonder. Erin’s lips are perfect. Soft and plump. They glided with mine effortlessly. The touch of her tongue on my bottom lip had me moaning. I took her in wholly, savoring every caress and lick.

The memory of her hands grasping at my waist sends minor tremors of pleasure to my clit. Three nights I have dreamed and three mornings I have climaxed to Erin. To the memory of that kiss. Although my soul seems temporarily sated, I am still having the serum shots.

“Show me your ass,” Lucille barks, barging into my room. I huff and switch off my vibrator.

“Could you knock next time?”

“Amelia, I’ve heard you masturbating for the last three days. If I wait for you to finish, I’ll never get to work.”

Rolling my eyes, I shift to the side and poke my ass out of the covers. “Hey Amelia, I have a question.” Erin’s voice registers seconds before she sticks her head around my bedroom door. “Jesus, sorry.”
