A Vampire's Saving Embrace by Darlene Kuncytes

walked into the room, he had had the undeniable urge to go to her - to touch her. He had needed to be close to her much too badly – to inhale her scent, to feel her exquisite silken skin beneath his fingers.
    And when she had screamed in pain, it was as if his very soul were being ripped apart, and he realized that she was already much too important to him. Whatever this pull was between them, he couldn’t deny it. Not for a moment longer - it was just too damned strong.
    In a flash that was all vampire - he flipped her over onto her back, his body resting above hers as he stared into her eyes. “Abby, are you certain?” He asked, knowing full well that he was beyond the point of no return. His body was throbbing with the need to take her and a part of him worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold back once he slid inside her warmth and a shiver of raw desire ran through him.
    She gently cupped his face in her hands and smiled, wriggling her body to press against his steely length-her eyes holding his, and he felt her heat – her arousal.
    “Holy Hell,” he ground out, right before his lips took hers with a desperate urgent need to possess.
    Abby felt a charge of something that felt a whole hell of a lot like electricity race through her body as Desmond’s skilled tongue ravaged her mouth - and it was the most amazing sensation she had ever experienced. He kissed her with a hunger that matched her own -his tongue exploring and teasing with a desperation that caused her to moan her need as her tongue followed his hungrily – teasing and tasting his with total abandon.
    Her fingers went from his face and plunged themselves into his hair as she had wanted to do since she had first set eyes on him – urging, pleading him to go further – to take everything she had to offer and more. A moment later, she wasn’t disappointed.
    His mouth left hers as he leaned back slightly to pull the sweater she wore from her. He smiled that damned grin when he saw that she wore no bra - his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners and causing her heart to beat triple time in her chest.
    Desmond took a moment and appreciated the pure sensual beauty of her lying there- saying a silent prayer that she wasn’t just a dream. “My God, you’re breathtaking,” he murmured, his voice laced with pure admiration – his eyes burning into hers and for the first time in her life, she felt like it. She felt desirable and wanted.
    In a flash, the beautiful silk panties he had gotten her were gone and across the room - or at least what was left of them - she realized and a giggle escaped her.
    In movements too quick to even comprehend, his pants were off and being tossed to the floor. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw his erection - large, firm, straining out from the dark patch of hair. My God, she thought with wonder and the tiniest bit of apprehension – he’s enormous! He kissed her again, long and thoroughly before his lips traveled down her jaw to her throat and then slowly to her collarbone - only to come to rest at the soft swell of her breast. His tongue circled her nipple before taking the hardened peak between his lips and sucking, causing her to cry out. He nipped lightly at the tender bud before he lifted his head and looked into her eyes - his blue depths darkened with passion. “Do you like that, my pet?”
    “Oh, yes,” she murmured in response, loving the feel of everything he was doing. This man was beyond incredible and had her heart beating in her chest like a bass drum.
    His mouth left her breast and traveled down her ribs to her belly button where his tongue traced a slow, lazy circle before dipping quickly inside. “And this?”
    “Oh God, yes!” She panted hoarsely – trying desperately to get the oxygen that her body needed. He had her on fire!
    He heard her sharp intake of breath as his mouth traveled even farther down and his tongue entered her moist heat. His hands stationed themselves firmly on her hips
