Scarlet Masquerade by Jett Abbott Page B

hand smoothed over the hot welt on her ass. “Besides, now is the time to relent if you want to change your mind.” Another whack against Clarissa’s ass, and she shook her head no. She hadn’t come this far to not find release, so she just stood there waiting for another. Sweat covered her body and she knew it would enhance her experience even further. This time leather slicing the air caught Clarissa’s attention followed by a stinging strike. She could feel her body responding to the torture and knew she would be able to ease her pain tonight. Each strike brought her closer and closer to release, and her soul started its journey to unraveling.
    A cool hand caressed the red marks that criss-crossed her back and ass. A glass was pressed against her lips with a command to drink slowly. Then she felt a tongue smooth its way down her. Her body tightened at the contact as Selene’s tongue traveled back to her ear.
    “You taste delicious. Do you mind?” Clarissa’s mind was in a fog at the contact and she felt something else taking over as she pushed into Selene. “I thought so. Relax, the night is young still.” A hand reached around and caressed Clarissa’s breast. Her body vibrated from the beating as she requested more from Selene.
    Snap, snap, snap. Each strike was driving her closer to release. She remembered her lessons from her husband as she faded into the memory. Each stroke was harder than the last until, finally, she was consumed in the pain. Her demon released itself as she orgasmed. Sliding further into the memory, she felt her body finally relax, but a sharp pain brought her back to reality as she felt Selene bite her breast.
    “What the —”
    Blood assaulted her senses, she felt lips press against hers. “I know what you are.”
    The kiss lingered and then Clarissa tasted blood, her blood, on the tongue that thrust into her mouth. Her head was pulled back and she felt flesh pressed into her mouth and another command, “Bite.”
    As she bit, she felt Selene’s hand caress her, squeezing one nipple then the other, and then Selene roughly palmed Clarissa’s clit. She jerked at the hard contact but moved into it, slowly feeling herself starting to come again. The taste of blood and her body still throbbing from the torture all made Clarissa’s senses climax. She was no longer in control, her body’s needs were and she let them take over.
    “That’s it my love, enjoy what I have to offer. Oh, shit. You’re gonna make me come, too. Fuck.” Clarissa felt another bite as Selene pulled her body into her, grinding herself into Clarissa’s ass. “Release, lover.” Her head pulled back made her relinquish her hold on Selene’s arm, but she felt another climax roll through her body as Selene grabbed her neck and sucked. It had been decades since she had been with another vampire and this time it was an unexpected pleasure to find one without realizing it. Her body convulsed as Selene tortured another orgasm from it.
    “Enough,” she whispered, relaxing against Selene. “Please, I can’t take any more.”
    Clarissa felt her hands drop in front of her and was carried to the couch. When the cuffs were removed, she felt Selene gently massage her wrists then slide onto the couch.
    “How long has it been since you’ve fed?” Selene whispered into Clarissa’s ear. Clarissa felt herself pulled into Selene’s body and gently caressed.
    “Decades.” Clarissa relaxed into the firm body behind her and reached up to remove the blindfold, but was stopped.
    “Not yet. I may want more. The night is still young.”
    Clarissa shuddered remembering the beautiful brunette. Selene, as with Alexandra, had been what her fantasies had consisted of the last few decades. That was a different time, a different Clarissa, but a memory worth saving and treasuring, as twisted as it might seem to someone else. The car slowed to a stop in front of her house, with a promise that her car would be delivered that evening if
