[Allister’s POV]I lead Tabitha up the spiraling staircase that leads to my room at the very top of the mansion. Even though I would prefer to play with her in my play room, I didn’t want to be disturbed. For the time being, I wanted her all to myself so that I could do what I wished and drink as much as I wished. It had been decades since I felt this thrill, and I wanted to take full advantage.When we reach our destination, I don’t wait to reach the bed before I’m pouncing. Spinning around, I press Tabitha against the wall and slam my mouth into hers. A soft moan escapes her as my hands begin to travel the length of her skin.Letting out a growl, I lift, allowing her to wrap her legs around my waist so that her exposed core presses just above my dick.“Fuck,” I hiss, beginning to slowly thrust. “Why are you so fucking alluring?”I knew that this had something to do with her blood, but it was slightly unnerving how badly I craved her. I could truly become addicted.“Fuck me,” she beg
[Tabitha’s POV]I let out a long breath as I took in my current dwelling. These vampires really knew how to treat their toys, letting them live in such a small space. At least the tatami mat that covered the floor was comfortable, but this was more like a coffin than a room.“A coffin,” I repeat, letting out a giggle. “I guess it made sense.”Honestly, I wasn’t sure if vampires actually slept in coffins since I had never bothered getting to know anything about them. All I knew was that they killed my family, and that was enough to leave me with a hatred so deep that even now I wish I could burn down this whole mansion.But do you really want to? A small voice in the back of my head murmurs. You’ve been more than open with them.As the thought crashes into me, my heart gives a painful tug, and guilt slams into me. Dammit, how could I possibly face my family in the afterlife now with everything I had done?Letting out a shaky breath, I curl in on myself as tears begin to spring to my ey
[Tabitha’s POV]I'm lost for words, and I'm sure it is because of the brooding hottie above me. Dammit, what was wrong with me? I hated vampires! How could I be coming undone for this one?“Should I take your silence as a go-ahead?" Vance continues when I don’t speak.Realizing that even if I wanted to fight him, I couldn’t because my body already craved him, I don’t say a word as his lips come down to mine. At first, his kiss holds an air of hesitance, but that is soon replaced by a hunger so strong that it seems to seep into me.Whimpering, I reach up and wrap my arms around his, and when he presses his body against mine, my legs find their way around his waist.All of this was wrong, but it felt so fucking right. Who the hell was I to fight it?Giving into temptation, I claw my nails into Vance’s skin in an attempt to get him closer, but by this point, he was as close as he could get.Taking my lead, his hands begin to fumble with his pants until he can pull them off, and once they
[Vance’s POV]“No… No more,” Tabitha pants beneath as she cums for the sixth or seventh time. I can’t.”“You can,” I counter, continuing to fuck her hard and fast. “And even if you can't, you’re going to.”I was nowhere near done with her. Not after thinking about her the whole fucking time she was with my brother. Usually I wouldn’t give two shits about our shared woman being with him alone, but with Tabitha, it was different.Hell, everything about Tabitha was different. Not only did I crave her blood, I craved her body. I was like a fucking addict, and she was the drug I needed to get the endorphins I need. She left me feeling alive for the first time in so many years. It was dangerous, but such a delicious danger.“More,” I hiss, digging my teeth into her throat so her intoxicating blood explodes on my tongue. “This still isn’t enough.”“Vance!” She moans, digging her nails into my skin. “I..AH… FUCK!”As the words leave her lips, another powerful orgasm crashes into her, and this
[Tabitha’s POV]I stare at myself in the mirror, taking in the woman that is staring back at me. She’s beautiful in her floor-length ball gown with rose accents and a black and red rhinestone corset that hugs her figure just right.She looks almost foreign, but like me at the same time due to the dark makeup that covers her face and her half-updo, so her curls hang down here and there. But the piece de résistance is the black, sparkly mask that sits on her face, giving her a mysterious vibe.What the hell was all of this, and why was it even necessary? They were dolling me up to prance me around their high-standing, blood-sucking council, only to turn around and turn me into a fucking toy.Sighing, I turn and find myself staring at Vance. Frowning, I turn to the mirror again and find that he isn’t reflected there, and then turn to face him once more.“Shocked?” He asks, quirking a brow.“Not really,” I admit. “It’s normal for vampires to not have reflections, yeah?”“That’s correct.”
[Tabitha’s POV]“Who is that?”The words are leaving my lips before I can stop them, but dammit, one of the suspects in the string of murders I was investigating was sitting right in front of me.“My father,” Allister responds, giving me a look. “What? Are you interested in him?”“In a way,” I mutter.Shit, what were the chances that the key to figuring out who was stalking me and murdering so many humans was going along with these vampires? But what am I supposed to do now? I couldn’t just report my findings while I was here. I had to figure out how to get away.“Come along,” Allister says, snapping me out of my head. “Let’s take our seats. Dinner should be served soon, and then the festivities will begin.”“Festivities?” I repeat just as the door behind us opens. Turning ever so slightly, I watch Vance enter with Alissa attached to his arm, and when his eyes meet mine, I’m sure that I see a twinge of possessiveness there. “Yippee.”Tearing my gaze away, I allow Allister to lead me u
[Tabitha’s POV]“What?” I hiss as Vance’s weight presses against me. “What is this about the moon?”“The blood moon,” Abigail gasps, slumping to the ground and pressing her hand between her thighs.Frowning, I take in the two, trying to make sense of what is going on. When I can’t seem to understand, Vance pushes me against the wall and presses his crotch against my stomach so I can feel the bulge there.Eyes widening, I look up into Vance’s fevered gaze.“The blood moon,” he grunts, seeming to truly struggle. "It's a heat period for all vampires.”A heat period... So they all became mindless animals and fucked like crazy during the blood moon. This was what Allister meant by it being their most sacred period. Then would this be my chance to escape while they were all so fucking out of it they couldn’t stop me?Snapping out of my head, I stare into Vance’s eyes to find not only lust but also pain there, and despite knowing that I shouldn’t care, I feel guilt.“Sorry.”Not willing to m
[Allister’s POV]"I'll let you do whatever you want.”Hearing those words leaves me feeling powerful. Who knew that it would take a single human to get this defiant woman to become an obedient pet?“Whatever I want?” I repeat, looking from her to her friend, who is lying down on the floor, so that Vanessa can straddle him. “Then come here.”For a moment, Tabitha doesn’t move as she watches the man begin to thrust his hips so that he moves in Vanessa. Her eyes are filled with an odd emotion that I don’t recognize and don’t care to understand.“Now,” I snap, drawing her attention to me. “Otherwise, I’ll kill him.”Eyes widening, Tabitha begins to move, scurrying toward me and then dropping on her knees. Fixing her gaze on mine, she waits for my next command.“Give me your hand, pet,” I order, reaching out.She doesn’t hesitate to lift her hand so that I can take it and bring it to my lips. Even if she would go along with what I wanted, I didn’t want her to be like a lifeless toy while I
