Blood Magic (After Dark Book 7) by Sarah Bailey (historical books to read .txt) 📕

“No.”

She looked away.

“Even if I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.”

Her being here alone with him was dangerous. Especially when she’d just admitted that to him.

Dani, please don’t tempt me any further. Friends. We’re friends. Sex makes it complicated. Sex fucks things up.

Her blood called to him. Her scent made him hard. Everything about Dani drove him crazy.

“It didn’t mean anything. We both needed something from each other that night. That’s all it was.”

It killed him to keep the truth about how he really felt from her. Her eyes snapped to his.

“Don’t give me that bullshit. You and I are not going to lie to each other.”

Her ability to read him frustrated him no end.

“What do you want me to say? Yes, sex between us was incredible and every time I think about it, I get so fucking hard I have to resist the urge to find you and have you again. Is that what you want to hear?”

“Is that the truth?”

“Yes.”

She searched his face for several moments. She stepped away, pacing the room.

“I don’t have any idea how things like this are supposed to work. Friends. You and I both know that’s all we can be to each other. Friends shouldn’t want to rip each other’s clothes off and fuck each other senseless.”

No. That’s definitely not what we should want to do.

Was Dani trying to rationalise what was happening between them? There was no logical explanation. They should never have had sex in the first place. A fae and a vampire together was almost as taboo as a vampire and a witch getting it on.

“Isn’t there a human concept for this? What the hell is it called?” She tugged a hand through her hair. “Friends with benefits.”

“What exactly are you suggesting?”

“That we make sex a part of our friendship.”

Dani had an insane knack of completely ripping the rug out from underneath him at every turn. Was she seriously suggesting they should make having sex with each other okay?

“I swear you’ve completely lost your mind right now.”

“Have I? Tell me you don’t want to bend me over the sofa and fuck me. I’ll leave and we’ll never talk of this again.”

As if her presence here wasn’t enough, her talking like that just made him harder.

“You just told me not to lie to you.”

“Then ask yourself this… Do you want to drive yourself crazy resisting this pull between us or do you want to have mind blowing sex with your friend who desperately wants you to touch her?”

He clenched his fist. Shit. What the hell do I even say to that? I have literally got no self-control when it comes to this girl.

He moved, appearing in front of her suddenly and wrapping his hand around her throat. He leant down, running his tongue along the curve of her ear.

“I don’t just want to have sex with you. I want to fuck you in ways and places you’ve never been fucked before. Worst of all, Dani, I want to bite you,” he whispered. “The thought of your blood makes me so hard, I can barely think straight.”

“What do you mean in places I’ve never been fucked before?”

He expected her to question why he wanted to suck her blood or why his hand was wrapped around her neck, but Dani never did what he thought she was going to do. He cupped her behind, tugging her closer to him.

“No one has fucked your mouth, have they?”

“No, but I’ve thought about doing it with you.”

“And no one has fucked you here.”

He squeezed her behind, knowing he was walking a dangerous line. He could possibly scare her away by admitting what he truly desired, but she’d told him no lies. No lies between them.

“You want to… to… fuck me there?”

“Mmm, yes. It’ll be so tight, so hot. The thought of being the only one to touch you there makes me ache.”

She wrapped her hands around his waist.

“Can I think about it?”

He wasn’t going to force her no matter how much he wanted it.

“Yes, it’s your choice.”

“Jamie…”

“Mmm?”

Her fingers tightened around his waist.

“My bodyguard doesn’t really count as a sexual partner. Before him, there was only one and he wasn’t very adventurous. I don’t want… what do humans call it? Vanilla.”

He smiled, pulling away to look down at her. Dani’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes full of caution.

“Vanilla? I’m going to fuck you like the depraved girl you really are.” He backed her towards the sofa, his hand still around her neck. “I want you begging me not to stop.”

She swallowed.

“You like to act all innocent, Dani, but I see you. Danger is what you thrive on and what’s more dangerous than asking a vampire to fuck you in the ways you’ve only dreamed about?”

What the fuck am I saying? I don’t normally treat women like this. I’ve done some fucked up stuff, but shit, she really brings out something in me I thought I’d kept hidden.

“Are you going to keep talking about it or are we going to fuck?”

They were most definitely going to fuck. She turned him on in ways no other woman had. He flipped her around and shoved her down over the arm of the sofa.

“Stay there.”

He pushed up her skirt and tugged off her underwear. Running his fingers up her sex, he found her dripping.

“Fuck me,” he muttered.

“Jamie, stop procrastinating.”

“Procrastin… Damn it, Dani.”

He tugged open his jeans, pulled out his cock and slammed into her right up to the hilt in one thrust. She yelped, fingers curling around the sofa cushions.

He’d wanted this since the moment she walked in his flat. Would he ever be able to keep his hands off
