Page 40 of Those That Don’t Exist (Hidden Vampires #1)

“I want you to be mine,” I whisper my truth, feeling the emotions I have for this male above me rise up to the surface. He tenses above me. “Not like how Adicious had control over you,” I quickly add. “I want us. I want to be yours as much as you are mine.”

“Red,” he breathes my nickname and I glance at his fangs pointing out of his upper jaw. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, Ty, I’m sure. But I’d want you free of that prick anyway.

I was reading more about blood bonds. From what you’ve told me and from the passages in those books,” I nod to the stack on the floor, “he’s been using the bonds for his own gain, he’s abusing it.

” Fresh anger boils in my blood as I talk.

Looking back to Ty above me I don’t want to talk about that asshole right now. This moment is ours.

“If you want to take a proper shot at this.” I wave a hand between us, and take a shaky breath. “I’m all in.”

Ty lowers himself again to brush a kiss to my forehead, before he captures my lips in another sweet kiss.

“You’re my everything,” he murmurs against my skin. Those three words replace the residual anger and floods a different warmth through my body. It radiates from my chest and grounds me. Ty is my centre of orbit and nothing else matters right now.

I find the bottom of his shirt and pull it up so I can remove it.

I need more skin contact. He obliges me before bringing his lips back to mine.

I let my hands roam over his sculpted shoulders.

I’ve seen and felt everywhere on his naked body in the last couple of months but this feels like the first time.

I feel like I can brand him with my touch. I want him to brand me with his too.

I brush gently over the bruising on his side. I wish my fingers could heal the injury. Seeing him hurt sends an ache through my belly. The monster in my head also writhes with a vicious bloodlust.

“The pack will be coming after me,” Ty informs me as I linger on the purple colouring of his skin.

“Should we be doing this now? Shouldn’t we be coming up with a way to hide you?” I ask, not wanting to stop what this, desperate to finally have him inside me.

“We probably should stop,” he answers. “I don’t know how much time we have. I injured Adicious and Ronan pretty badly which will cause some delay, but they won’t take long to mobilise.”

Disappointment rushes through me. I sweep my fingers over his chest once more, through the light spattering of hair there, needing the connection desperately. Ty hangs above me for a beat, the tension between us almost palpable.

“Fuck it, we can find somewhere to hide after,” he says, before dropping down and kissing me with a ferocity which has me forgetting everything else.

The rest of our clothes quickly follow his shirt.

Ty sits back to pull my jeans and underwear down in one smooth motion.

He groans as my legs drop open to accommodate him, exposing my core to his lust filled eyes.

Instead of coming back over me he pushes my knees wider before sinking his head between them.

The first lick of his tongue over my pussy has me crying out, the pleasure shooting across my skin. My hands immediately find his hair, holding him there and holding me onto reality.

He groans. “You’re so gods damned wet for me already, Red. You taste exquisite.”

Ty spears his tongue into me making me arch against him, gasping at the sensation. He repeats the motion a few times before licking up to my clit and sucking on the little bud. I buck under the pleasure he’s inflicting on my body.

His fingers replace his tongue at my centre. He pushes two straight in, expertly curling them into that spot and lighting my body up. His name is a breathy moan on my lips as I whip my hands to the sheets, trying to hold on to reality against the assault of pleasure building at frightening speeds.

I come seconds later, the orgasm detonating quick and fast from his skilled tongue and fingers. It sweeps over me in a crashing wave. I have no choice but to absorb it. Feel it. Drown in it.

Ty continues slowly licking and sucking until I float back down from the high.

He kisses his way back up my body, paying particular attention to my breasts.

Rolling the left nipple between his teeth, he sharpens my awareness once more.

My need returns in full force, so much so my hips start writhing beneath him, like I didn’t just have an earth shattering orgasm.

“Not done, Red?” Ty chuckles as he kisses up my neck. “Is there something else you want?”

His whole body pins me to the bed, the feel of his skin against mine driving me insane. He’s being careful to not align our pelvises, his erection pushed against my thigh in the most agonising tease.

I grip his waist to try to close the final distance as I answer him. “I want all of you Ty. Please, please fuck me.”

“Are you sure?” he asks even as he relents. His thick cock brushes against my folds as he thrusts slowly.

“Stop asking and fuck me,” I beg. Ty pauses which makes me look up into his beautiful eyes once more.

“I don’t want you to think I’m doing this purely because I broke the bond to my pack,” he whispers.

I pause. He’s worried I’m giving him this as some sort of obligation.

“Ty,” I breathe his name. “I want this because I want you. I’ve wanted you for a very long time. Please.” I place a soft kiss to his lips as his resolve breaks.

He slips one of his hands between us to notch himself to my entrance before he moves his hips slowly, pushing in. He breaks the kiss, pulling back enough so that he can read my face as he slides his impressive length inside. Each inch adds to the sensation of fullness as my body accepts his.

My breathing turns into pants as he bottoms out. I’m stretched incredibly tight around his cock, I need a second to adjust. I’m also flooded with an emotion so potent as I stare up into his azure blue eyes I think I stop breathing.

He stares down at me in such wonder, like I’m the most precious thing he’s ever touched, I’m overwhelmed by it all.

“Aurora,” he whispers my name. “Your mine, Aurora.”

It sounds like a prayer.

Coming down onto his elbows he kisses me languidly as he starts to rock his hips.

Small thrusts to start with but I feel them like earthquakes.

Like molten lava moving beneath the earth’s surface.

It’s not explosive, but it's permanently altering. This isn’t only about pleasure. This is more, so much more.

There’s no going back. I’m so deeply and irrevocably in love with this guy and I can only hold on as he changes me irreversibly.

His strokes build as he almost pulls out the entire way before thrusting back in. Both our breaths come heavy, foreheads resting together. I can feel both our hearts beating to the same erratic rhythm.

He takes one of his hands to my thigh, to push it higher, changing the angle, giving him more room to thrust deeper. Our joint moans mingle as the heat within my body increases even more.

“Rub your clit for me,” he gently commands me. “I need you to come again.”

Untangling my fingers from his hair I go to obey, sliding my hand down between our bodies.

But before I take my fingers to the sensitive bud of nerves I slip them lower so I can feel where we’re joined.

I split my index and middle finger, framing my entrance, so with every thrust I can feel him enter, feel how slick his cock has become with my wetness.

“Oh, fuck,” I moan at the added sensation.

“Aurora,” Ty pants above me. “ I need you to come before I explode, and I’m barely holding on here.”

I can’t deny his pleas and bring my fingers up to my clit, rubbing small circles over it as Ty moves faster, impossibly deeper.

He angles his hips slightly and on the next thrust I’m thrown off a cliff, into another orgasm.

This one is even harder than the first as I cling to Ty with my free hand and tilt my head into the crook of his neck where his scent envelopes me, holding me to this world as the pleasure threatens to tear apart my body.

I have no idea of the words spilling from my lips, whether it’s even comprehensible as my body comes alive with wave after wave of electric pleasure.

As the lust fog clears from my brain I sink back into the mattress, my head falling back in my blissed out state.

Ty shifts as I take my hand from the apex of my thighs and run it up his side.

I become aware of Ty’s teeth on my neck, those sharp fangs pressing to my skin.

I have no ability to voice what I want but I tilt my head further back in a silent question.

I want him to bite me. I want him to claim me.

The moment passes. His teeth are replaced by his lips. He delivers kisses up my exposed throat in time to his thrusts.

“Gods, Red.” Kiss. “Having you come…” Kiss. “…whilst wrapped around my cock…” Kiss. “…is better than I ever imagined.” Kiss.

“Come in me,” I manage to respond.

Ty feels about to pull away so I tighten my grip on him.

“Please,” I barely recognise my raspy voice, bringing my eyes back to him so he can see my sincerity.

Ty nods before his rhythm picks up once more. He gets impossibly harder inside me as he allows the orgasm to overtake him. He pushes deep in his release, his rhythm faltering and giving me aftershocks of pleasure. His cum heats me as it spills inside me. I cling to him like we can become one being.

It takes several minutes for either of us to move, to regain control of our breathing but eventually Ty moves off of me, pulling out and leaving me feeling empty.

He rolls to the side, sinking onto the mattress before wrapping me into his arms. I blindly feel for a blanket, grabbing it to cocoon us in and keep us warm as we snuggle.

We’re silent as we gently run our fingers over each other's skin. Neither of us wanting to break this little bubble.

It gets shattered seconds later as a knock lands on my door a second before it swings open.

“Oh! Shit! Sorry!” Claire spins in the doorway, covering her eyes at the same time I twist to yell.

“Not alone!”

“Sorry, Sorry!” Claire apologises again.

Ty reorganises the blanket to ensure I’m covered, his chest now pressed to my back and his arm wrapped around my middle as I prop myself up on an elbow.

“Don’t worry, you’re not interrupting anything,” I tell her.

“I came to see if you were getting ready for Bree’s thing this evening.” Claire justifies her intrusion, peaking to ensure we’re covered before turning to face us again.

“Shit, I’d forgotten it was tonight,” I reply.

“Did you still want to borrow a dress?” she asks.

“Yes, please,” I tell her. I have no idea if we will be able to go but it’s not like I can discuss the vampires chasing us down with her. I need her to leave so Ty and I can chat about what we need to do.

“Cool,” Claire says. “I’ll go brew us some coffee, let you…” She waves a hand at us. “Come grab me when you’re dressed.” She promptly leaves, pulling the door firmly behind her.

Ty’s lips curve into a laugh as he lays a kiss to my shoulder.

“And I thought I had little privacy at the pack house,” he chuckles.

I roll onto my back and burst into a giggle.

“Thank the gods she didn’t come in ten minutes earlier,” I say, shaking my head. “We’d better get up anyway, right?”

“Unfortunately, yes,” Ty says, although makes no move to do so.

I notice his fangs as he speaks, causing a question to burn its way to the surface.

“Why didn’t you bite me? I felt your fangs at my throat as you came.” I try to sound casual but don’t think I pull it off as Ty freezes, his face becoming serious.

“Are you asking why I didn’t try to open a life-long bond between us the first time we had sex?”

When he puts it like that I see the stupidity, my cheeks flair with heat. Still, a pang of disappointment ricochets through me at the rejection.

Ty must sense my reaction as he shifts slightly, bringing his face closer so I have no option but to look into his eyes. He brings a hand to stroke the side of my head and run his fingers down my hair.

“Don’t be embarrassed Red,” he says gently. “Clearly you felt I wanted to.”

“You did?” My hope rises a little and I start playing with short strands of hair on his chest with my fingers, lightly brushing over the skin between his pecs.

“Of course, Red. But I wasn’t going to bite you without us even having this conversation. You’d need to bite me too to complete the bond, remember, but I wasn’t going to pressure you based on assumptions in the moment. This was our first time together and it was deeply special to me.”

“It was to me too,” I add in quickly. I don’t want him to think it meant any less because he didn’t bite me. He smiles down at me.

“Would you have bitten me, if I’d bitten you?” he asks.

“I think I would,” I reply honestly.

“And that answer makes me glad I didn’t. Red, a mating bond is only breakable by death. My parents were together as a couple for years before they mated. It's not something to rush into or to be taken lightly.”

“Wouldn’t it solve some of our current issues?” I ask, thinking about how if Ty and I formed a mate bond Adicious would have to back off.

“Maybe.” Ty looks away for a second and I wonder where his thoughts go.

He doesn’t leave me waiting for long. “It would certainly send a message. However, Adicious would probably just kill me. I’m no longer protected by a pack.

I couldn’t take on all of them.” I see the pain in his eyes. It disappears after a second.

“Plus,” he says as he smiles down at me again, “I rather consider myself a gentleman, and until you’re sure you want to be tied to me forever I won’t pressure you into it. No matter how much I want it.”

I smile back. Something I read earlier comes to mind.

“Is it true mates can read each other's thoughts? Or know each other's emotions?”

“It is.” Ty nods. “My parents could read each other’s feelings, even if they were miles apart.”

His face lights up at whatever memories are playing through his head.

I think of my own parents. I wish I’d seen how they were together. My father always spoke of my mom with such love, even though it had been years since her death. He never moved on. I wonder if they would’ve been mates if they had been turned.

“Tell me more about them,” I say.

“I will,” he replies. “But we need to get up.”

He places a sweet kiss on my lips before sitting up on his knees, about to get off the bed.

His naked form really is something to behold. So much tan skin and those swirling tattoos which accentuate the muscles in his arms and chest.

It takes a lot of effort but I tear my gaze away and heave myself up from the bed.
