the desire that’s spreading through her body. A pinch of pain and a thrust of his fingers send Ellie on a rollercoaster of sensation. Rocking back and forth on Jasper’s hand, Ellie matches the rhythm of his sinful fingers with the sucking at her throat. Ellie’s walls clamp down on his fingers, he tweaks her clit with his thumb sending her into a spiraling climax. Gently withdrawing his fangs and licking the tiny wounds, Jasper sooths her with slow strokes up and down the bare skin of her back.
Ellie leans forward and drops her head on his shoulder. “Out of curiosity, Jasper. Will I have an orgasm every time someone drinks from me?”
Jasper leans back to look in her eyes. “It depends on who is drinking from you, gorgeous. If you are attracted to the person and become aroused, then the answer is yes. If you are just offering a donation, then you may become aroused but not find satisfaction.” He brushes his lips across hers. “However, if you are with either Ian or me, you can count on being satisfied.”
Ellie gasps as she is lifted off Jasper’s lap and placed on another set of steel thighs. “I will have to agree with Jasper, little one. I don’t think keeping you satisfied is going to be a problem for either of us.”
“Ian!” Ellie leans forward for a hug. “I wondered when you were going to get down here. Jasper was showing me how the floor drinks work.”
Ian glances at Jasper with a smirk. “I bet he was enjoying the lesson too, little one.”
Jasper motions for one of the drinks to head to the table. “I always enjoy spending time with Ellie, Ian. It has been a pleasure to show her around Everlasting.”
When the drink comes to the table, Jasper orders a bottle of scotch, a fruit and cheese tray, and three glasses. “I’ve been trying to explain to her that it does not bother you that I have tasted her. She was a little worried that you would be angry.”
Ian laughs and kisses her on the forehead. “Little one, we are connected on a deeper level then that and monogamy is not something that vampires spend time worrying about.”
Ellie crinkles her nose at the both of them, as she ponders those words. “I do not understand why you both continue to talk about a deeper connection. Does this have anything to do with the Hunger stuff that Jasper was telling me about?”
Ian caresses the skin at the base of her spine, while the drink brings their order to the table. Jasper pours three glasses of scotch and hands one to Ellie. “Drink, gorgeous, it’s going to be a long night.”
Ellie sniffs the aroma of the high-end scotch and takes a tentative sip. She gasps at the warm sensation sliding down the back of her throat and pooling in the pit of stomach. Warmth spreads throughout her body and she relaxes against Ian.
“Now that we have beverages, why don’t you two start telling me about the funny things I can hear in my head and why you keep saying that I can satisfy the Hunger that Ian feels?”
Ian tosses back his scotch and slides Ellie into the seat between him and Jasper. “I believe that Jasper explained to you the idea behind the Hunger, correct?”
Ellie nods her head. “Yes, he said that there’s a person that can satisfy the Hunger that you all feel as vampires. This would not cure you, and you could still drink from others, but it would satisfy the emptiness inside of you.”
Ian reaches out and takes her hand. “I believe that you are that person for me , Ellie. I began to notice it a few years ago, when I met you at a charity function for the hospital. After I tasted you I was sure that you were the person that I was searching for.”
Ellie tilts her head to the side as she listens to Ian’s words. “After we made love, I began to feel a deeper connection with you. I was able to see flashes of what you were doing and to sense your presence. The connection is not complete at
