With a groan, Marina tossed back the covers and rose. Perhaps a cup of herbal tea would help her sleep.

A series of nightlights throughout the house let her easily find the back stairs to the kitchen. Moving as quietly as possible, she searched through cabinets until she found boxes of teabags.

She heard a door open. Marina froze, still clutching the tin of orange spice teabags. She set the tin on the counter and turned. Tain stood in the doorway, naked and fully aroused.

He held out one hand to her. "Come here, Marina."

She didn't want to fight her feelings any longer. She moved toward him and laid her hand in his.

Tain walked backward, tugging Marina with him. He didn't want to break eye contact with her for fear she'd change her mind. He'd heard her in the kitchen as he'd entered his bathroom. He had to take one more chance that she might be with him.

He shut the bedroom door behind them. The room was pitch black, but he could see perfectly. He gently squeezed Marina's hand. "Wait here." Crossing to the dresser, he lit two pillar candles. He turned back to her and caught her staring at his cock. Slowly, her gaze lifted back to her face. Her eyes were filled with longing.

Tain walked back to her and cradled her face in his hands. "I want you so much."

"I want you too, but--"

"No buts." He skated his thumbs across her bottom lip. "Don't think. Just feel." He kissed her softly. "Just feel."

Tain kissed her again. He slid his hands over her shoulders and down her back. Gripping her waist, he pulled her tightly to him. He moved from side to side, caressing her mound with his cock.

She whimpered.

Her sound of surrender spurred him to kiss her more passionately. He nipped at her lips, slid his tongue over the soft bites, pushed his tongue past her lips. She tasted of desire, of heat. Sliding his hands beneath her buttocks, he lifted her and laid her on the bed. He followed her down, lying between her spread legs. Tain pumped his hips, pressing his shaft firmly against her pussy. He could feel the dampness seeping from her channel, could smell her arousal.

Tain had to concentrate to keep his incisors from growing. It wasn't time to drink from her neck...not yet. First, she had to come.

Her breathing was erratic by the time he stopped kissing her. He pushed her T-shirt up, baring her breasts. Her nipples were so hard, the areolas puckered. Tain licked both peaks, then began to suckle.

Marina tunneled her fingers into his hair and arched her back. "That feels so good."

"Good enough to come?" he asked before kissing her again. He lifted her arms over her head. "Can you come from me sucking your nipples?"

"I never have."

Tain took one hard bud between his thumb and forefinger. "Perhaps a man has never paid them enough attention." He flicked her other nipple with his tongue. "I like to spend a lot of time loving them. Licking." He flicked her nipple again. "Biting." A gentle nip with his teeth and she squirmed beneath him. "Rubbing." He circled both tips with his thumbs. "Sucking." He drew one peak into his mouth, then the other. "Especially sucking."

The dizziness hit him again. Tain squeezed his eyes shut and ignored it, concentrating on Marina instead. He kneaded one breast while suckling the other nipple. Marina continued to squirm. Her breathing grew heavier, uneven. Tain could feel the orgasm building in her body. He sucked harder.

"Tain!"

She crested. Her energy flowed over him, then into him. More powerful than his own orgasm, her climax fed his lifeforce. The dizziness subsided. It didn't disappear totally, but was no longer so severe. Her next orgasm should make it vanish entirely.

Tain rose to his knees. He watched Marina's face as he continued to caress her breasts. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted. The small aftershocks of her orgasm flowed through his body. Each one fed his strength.

She opened her eyes and looked into his. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she tugged him back on top of her and kissed him.

Such fire. Such passion. She clutched his hair tighter, caressed his shoulders, ran her hands down his back. Tain groaned when her fingernails dug into his buttocks. "My God, you're hot," he rasped in her ear.

"Inside me. Please." She worked her hand between their bodies and clasped his shaft. "I need you inside me."

"Not yet. I want to make you come with  my tongue."
