Darkened Days by C. L. Quinn Page A

cock as it strained against his jeans.  His hands moved up to encircle her head, his fingers twisted into her hair as he nudged her back against the wall and then licked all the way down her neck as she sucked from his.
    Was this what it was supposed to be like?   Starla felt intoxicated and so turned on she wanted him inside her immediately.  His tongue couldn’t be doing anything much different than the boys had done, right?  But it electrified her skin every place he touched.
    Starla pulled her fangs and leaned back to give him full access.  His tongue became more aggressive, twisting down her neck, nipping, and stopped suddenly only when she snapped the bra loose and her breasts were free for him to continue his taste test.
     
     
     
    Jacob held her close and stared at the perfect rose tipped breasts with nothing at all between him and those nipples.  It was obvious she wanted him to continue.  He desperately did, too.  But he lifted her off him, ignored the straining penis that already missed her against it, and pushed her gently back away from him.  It was a struggle to stand upright as he pushed himself back from her to gain more distance.  Every neuron in his brain told him he needed to get back on her and bury himself in her until he did make her scream.  In ecstasy .  Right now, he wanted nothing more than to taste every inch of her.
    His voice was deep as he spoke, desperate to sound normal.
    “You need to get anything you want to keep from the cadre’s lair.  I’m taking you to Eillia as soon as I can.”
    With her hair wild and her breasts exposed, the nipples still erect, Jacob almost said to hell with it, and took her right there on that dirty carpet. 
    Starla stood proudly in front of him, no need to cover herself.
    She knew she turned him on.  She knew she was making this harder for him.  Just to punish him, she ran her tongue around her lips and moved her hand caressingly across her taut stomach.
    “You think the cadre will let you take me?”
    “You think they can stop me?”
    “I think you’re a lot bigger than they are.  But there are a lot more of them .  So, yeah.  I think they’ll stop you.”
    “What about you?  Do you want to stay with them?”
    She was silent.  And turned away.  She moved at vampire high speed toward the front of the market and just cleared the entrance when he grabbed her.
    A struggle began, but Starla realized she’d never win, so she stopped and went slack in his arms.
    “What the hell do you want from me?  I offered you sex, but you refused.  I told you I won’t go back with you.  So what is it you want?”
    “I want to make sure they aren’t abusing you.  I want to get you back to the Orientales safely.  Back to Eillia who really does care for you.  These asshole baby vamps don’t.”  He hesitated, then decided to push forward.  “Are they abusing you?  Sexually?  You have to tell me.  I’ll kill every one of them permanently.”
    “Look. I’ve reconciled with this.  I know what I am.  They made it clear.  So you can stop taking responsibility for me.  I doubt I ever had a grand future anyway.  Beats carving up fish and fryin g it in whale lard for six kids in a shack. Anyway.  You don’t even know me.  I sure the hell don’t know you.  Tell Eillia I’m fine and she can stop worrying.  The time to have given a shit was before I fell into this steaming pile of vampire crap.  But she didn’t trust me enough. Oh, well.  Some of us are predators and some of us are prey.  Luckily, I’m not just prey anymore.  Goodbye, Hero.”
    Once again, she tried to speed from him, but Jacob could move much faster than a new vampire.  Age brought more strength and power, not less, in a vampire.
    He caught her easily again, took her wrists firmly in his hands, and held her loosely enough to avoid hurting her, but tight enough she couldn’t even begin to pull free.  And she tried.  Minutes later, she looked up at
