Immortal Cravings Chapter 51
I woke with the suffocating sense of something on my chest.My first instinct was pure, blind panic, but as I gasped in a breath, consciousness surfaced and I realized two things. First, I could still breathe, so I didn't need to freak. Two - I didn't need to freak. Somehow in our sleep, Ty had rolled on top of me while Kaz was pressed snugly at my side, one strong arm draped around us both.And I wasn't afraid.Oh. My. God. I wasn't afraid.The magnitude of that shook me to the core.Ty's eyes flew open above mine and he hurriedly rolled away. "I'm so sorry, sweetness. I didn't mean..."I placed my fingers over his lips and shook my head. "It's all right. I'm all right." I could hear the wonder in my own tone.Kaz leaned up on one elbow. "You sure?"I nodded. "Yeah. It's the weirdest thing, but yeah." Suddenly I wanted something I'd been unable to enjoy for centuries. "Can you guys just close in tight - and hug me?" I knew if I started to freak, they'd sense it and let me go.

Part 3: Just for JessThe metallic ping of the airplane's seat belt warning broke me from a light doze as the transatlantic jet began its descent into Chicago. I rubbed my eyes and quickly stuffed my netbook and headset into my oversized purse, shoving that under my seat seconds before the flight attendant stopped to glare at me on her pass through the darkened first-class cabin.The good part about traveling with other vampires was nobody in the compartment tried to open the window shades. The bad part was my investment team was made up of a bunch of workaholic immortals, and we'd continued discussing business through most of the flight. After my conference in London, I was exhausted, not to mention hungry. Even vampires have a hard time sneaking bagged blood onto an international flight, and feeding off the flight attendants was a no-no."Good night, Ms. Maitland," one of the attendants called as I left the plane."See you soon, Jessamy," added one of my colleagues, far too che

The following day we had a blast. Although my brain kept nagging at me about this or that thing I should be doing, I forced myself to relax and enjoy the manicure, pedicure, massage and facial along with my two best friends. The stylist touched up my highlights - while my golden blonde color is natural, the sun-streaks, for obvious reasons, are not - and applied just the right amount of makeup for the minimalist look I prefer - smoky liner to highlight my gray eyes and a velvety red lipstick to offset the severity of my black, slim-fitting evening gown. Dani had hired her staff very well for the spa, which had been one of her personal projects with the hotel. They even fed us, both with blood and wine cocktails and a selection of appetizers and chocolates. Contrary to popular belief, vampires can and do enjoy human food as well as blood.With Dani on one side of me in a bronze silk halter dress that would have the men on their knees and Ari looking adorable in violet lace on the other

I stood there, still feeling the weight of his intense dark gaze as the crowd moved out of the ballroom, except for the winners who hustled up to claim their dates and a few others who clustered around the men, asking for autographs or posing for photos. I'll give the guys this - all fifteen of them put up with the fawning attention, dispensing hugs and autographs with grace. Likewise, I kept up my obligatory smile, accepting checks and air kisses and thanking those who came up to talk to the organizer.Finally, the women hustled their "dates" out the door and the only one left was Dermott McMahon, who lingered behind the cashier's table with Dani and Ari and their men. I raised my eyebrow at Dani as I approached. "These two don't keep you occupied?"Ari broke first. She's just too bloody sweet to lie worth a damn. "We bought him for you, Jess.""What?" I stopped in my tracks. "What have you two done this time?" Even after being friends for nearly fifty years, they still managed to

Dermott's private plane was like sitting in someone's comfortable living room, except for the discreet seat belts on the cream leather chairs. The main sitting area consisted of four oversized recliners, grouped in a rectangle, with tables that could be folded out between them. Behind, two sofas faced each other, and a plasma screen TV hung on the wall leading to the rear section. Dermott handed me into one of the recliners. With a smile, he lowered his long, lean frame into the one across from me. Less than an hour had passed since the end of the auction. There'd been no hassles, no lines - maybe I should think about chartering a plane next time I had to travel. A steward, a handsome...werewolf?...offered me my choice of beverages or food before he discreetly vanished into the rear of the plane."I think you'll find your friends packed you a bag for the flight as well as a suitcase," Dermott said. There was just a hint of a grin curving his wide, mobile lips, and his deep, rich barito

His gaze, combined with his gorgeous voice, was hypnotic. All I could do was nod."It was my second Season - I hadn't accepted a proposal during my first - none of the men who were interested appealed to me, but that year I'd fallen in love with a dashing young viscount. I let him lure me into a garden during a ball, expecting kisses and maybe even a proposal. Instead, he raped me, and left me on the ground, bleeding to death.""He wasn't an immortal, was he?" There was steel beneath the velvet in his tone this time."No, and he's quite dead - has been for nearly two hundred years. I had a friend, you see. Not a lover, just a friend. He was a quiet sort, an American, and he was desperately in love with me, though I didn't realize that at the time. He wasn't rich enough or handsome enough to capture my attention in a romantic way, but he was a reliable, steady confidante. I also didn't know that he was a vampire. He found me in the garden, dying, and he offered me his blood to save my l

Dermott nodded. "Dani filled me in, asked if I was willing to go along with the idea.""Why did you?" That, more than anything else, I had to know."Do you really have to ask?" That voice made my toes tingle as it deepened. "I want you, Jess. I have since the moment Ty introduced us three months ago."For a moment I forgot how to breathe.He went on. "I won't do anything you don't want - I've never forced a woman in my life, and I'm not about to start now. But I gained the distinct impression during our few meetings that you were as interested as I was in getting to know each other better."Elek returned before I could speak, handing each of us a crystal goblet filled with dark red wine mixed with blood and spices. The bases were just the right size to set in cup holders that popped out of the sides of the armrest. Whoever designed this plane had taken care of every last detail.When Elek disappeared again, Dermott licked his lips, making my pussy clench. I'd been damp throughout our c

"First I want to peel you out of that elegant dress and see every inch of your silky skin - then I want to touch and taste it." His fingers slid up to my ankles and caressed my calves.Odd how I hadn't thought of my calves as erogenous before."After I kiss you all over," he said, "I'll want to spend time admiring those nipples poking so insistently at the front of your dress. I've been wondering for weeks if they're rose or peach. I can tell they're responsive - I haven't even touched them and they're like pebbles under that silk."I didn't realize my hands had slipped up to cup my aching breasts through the bodice of my dress until that moment. I'm not large, but he was right - my nipples were sensitive, and I brushed them with my thumbs."Ah, leannan, that's a beautiful sight." His accent thickened and his dark lashes lowered. "Why don't you unfasten your bodice and do that for me?"My gaze flickered down to see me toying with my nipples, but I was too aroused to be embarrassed. I l
