VAMPIRE TEMPTATION

I Won’t Let You Go

I frantically try to control my thoughts, but the more I try not to think about a life with Klaus, the more vivid the images become.

High school geometry. Go!”

I grab Klaus’s words like a lifeline. I don’t remember much about high school geometry, but I force images of triangles, circles, and lines making angles with them into my mind.

Katherine opens the door. “Hello, Klaus.”

She peers curiously at me, probably wondering if I’m trying to remember the formula for determining the longest side of a triangle. “Can I have a word?”

Of course. Ruby if you could give us a moment?”

“I’ll get to work.

I hurry out, wondering how far vampire mind-reading ranges.

I do my best to get back to work. As usual. I’m not thinking of life at home; not that I want to right now when Katherine exits Klaus’s office, she only gives me her usual glare before sweeping off to bother someone else.

Klaus seems to be making sure to give me space, not calling me into his office as much as he usually does.

I’m fine with that. I want to be here, but there’s still a lot to sort out in my head.

When I say goodbye to him as I leave, he winks at me. “See you tomorrow, Rubina.”

Fortunately, Kelly isn’t home when I get back. I hurry to my computer and open the forms Klaus sent me.

I fill in the observer form, and just in case, fill in the participant form.

I know Klaus won’t let me change my mind during the ritual because of the possibility of enticement, so I want to be prepared, just in case.

It’s a good thing I wasted no time sending the forms because the email has just gone off when Klaus comes through the front door. He doesn’t say hello.

I sigh. Things have been horrible between us ever since I decided to go back to work. He’s still here, which is something, but he’s not happy, to say the least.

I go downstairs, checking on the chicken pie I have cooking. “How was your day?”

Kelly ignores the question. “We need to talk, Ruby.

Shit, he’s breaking up with me.

Do you still want to be with me?”

I open my mouth to say yes, but the words won’t come. Over the past two weeks, I’ve remembered all the reasons I wanted to stay at Vamp Investments, with Klaus.

I don’t know.”

Is it him? Your boss?”

Yes,” I admit. “I… I think I have feelings for him.”

“Then what the hell are we doing here!”

I still love you, Kelly! I don’t know what I want, ok? Ethan is giving me time to figure it out. Why can’t you?”

The fire seems to go out of him. “If that’s what you want, Ruby. I’ve had enough time to think. I never should have let you go before. I won’t let you go again.

“ This time, I’ll fight for you – fight for us.”

I step close and pull him into a hug. “I’m sorry, Kelly. I wish I just knew for sure… but I don’t. At least, not yet.”

Can you promise me one thing? Just – don’t sleep with him again. At least until you’ve decided for sure.”

How can I deny him the one thing he asks, when he’s being so understanding?

But I can’t promise that.

“I can’t,” I whisper. “I swear, Kelly, if I could make that promise, I would, but I can’t.”

He pulls out of the hug. It would be easier to deal with if he was angry, but he just seems sad.

He pulls a smile onto his face, which looks like it takes a lot of effort. “Let’s just have supper, shall we?

I don’t know whether to be excited or nervous as I follow the other human employees into the ritual area.

It’s dimly lit with candles in multiple circles. There are thick piles of blankets in the circles, probably to make them more comfortable to lie down on.

Amelia has spent the day telling me everything there is to know about vampires. She answered a great many questions I hadn’t even thought to ask.

Perhaps I should be running for the hills. I must be crazy.

As freaky as it was to hear at first, most of it makes sense with what I’ve observed. I have no desire to run anymore, only to find out more.

My eyes are on Klaus from the moment he enters. He nods at me but doesn’t hold my gaze. He turns instead to Amelia, gesturing. her to one of the circles.

Hot jealousy flashes through me, but I forcibly suppress it.

Klaus and I never said we were exclusive. nor could we be. He’s a vampire and needs. the ritual like I needs food. I could never expect him to forget it.

Amelia seems completely unembarrassed as. she strips down. A couple of other pairs lie down in other circles, but I have eyes only for Klaus and Amelia.

Klaus starts by kissing her, then licking her, until Amelia is squirming with pleasure. The worst is that I’m not unaffected.

My chest rises and falls faster as my breath speeds up. I’m nearly overwhelmed with the desire to touch myself, even though I’m in a room full of people.

When Klaus finally thrusts into Amelia, I. lose what little self-control I have.

I start stripping.

Klaus pauses to look at me. “Ruby?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I sent you the participant consent form last night. I want in.”

I half expect him to turn me down, but his. nostrils flare as I toss my panties away.

Of course. He can smell my pussy. He knows I’m wet for him.

“Katherine – come, take Amelia.”

Amelia allows herself to be handed off without a fuss. Katherine lays her down in one of the other circles and starts fingering her clit.

Amelia certainly seems happy, so I don’t feel too bad about usurping her place.

Instead of lying on my back as all the other humans do, I go down on all fours. I hear Klaus moan slightly behind me, and he does nothing to change my position.

Klaus pushes his fingers inside me like he did the first time when he had me bent over the desk.

I’m ready, Klaus,” I whisper. I don’t want to wait for him.

He pulls his fingers out. “Humans in ritual circles do not speak.”

Oh yes. I do remember Amelia told me about that.

I nod, hoping he’ll go back to what he was doing.

Klaus does me one better than that. He starts licking my pussy, thrusting his tongue in and out. It’s not as long as his fingers, but it’s so soft and wet, it’s even more incredible.

I whimper, hoping that it doesn’t break the no-talking rule. Perhaps Arthur understands, because he moves up to my clit, twisting his head underneath me so that he can reach.

I clap my hand over my own mouth, holding in my pleas for him to go faster. Pleasure spirals through every inch of my body.

My clit is a throbbing fire and I need to come so badly I’m panting with it.

Klaus finally grabs my ass and pulls me onto his cock. He’s never had a problem giving it to me fast and rough, and he doesn’t let me down now.

Helpless grunts are driven from my mouth with each thrust. I lean down on my elbows, bracing myself as Klaus’s huge cock slides in and out of my pussy.

He can tell when I’m moments from coming because he drapes his body over mine. His skin is covered in a light sheen of sweat, making the two of us stick together. Arthur still manages to motor his hips back and forth at an amazing pace.

His teeth graze across the side of my neck.

I come so hard I’m seeing stars.

There is a moment of pain as his teeth sink through my flesh, but that is quickly overwhelmed by waves and waves of toe-curling pleasure.

My orgasm seems to multiply, going on and on until it’s so intense I can barely stand it.

I come down slowly. I feel like I’m floating. My ass is still up in the air, and my face is pressed against the blankets on the ground.

I realize Klaus is gone. How long have I been here, high?

Klaus’s come leaks out of my pussy. There’s a bit of blood running down my neck.

The world abruptly comes back into focus.

What are the consequences of being bitten by a vampire? Does this mean I’m like him now?

I know Amelia told me, but I’m so loopy off whatever chemicals I got from his bite, I can’t remember.

I know I thought about being turned, but god, I’m not ready. ľ’m not even close to ready.

I’m panting again, but this time, it’s not from desire. It’s from panic.
