hissed, his eyes squeezing shut as he rocked back on his heels. His golden hair fell forward as his lips brushed across my cheek. "I vowed to be strong for you and keep my desire in check until you were ready.  But I find watching you like this makes me want you, Josephine...in ways I can't even articulate.  You must feed first."
    The carnal cadence to his voice made me want to fall to my knees. I knew that tone, and despite the fact that we were literally unbreakable as immortals, I had a feeling that walking the next day was going to be difficult.
    "A goal I would love to achieve," he teased, shifting me until I was between him and the counter. "Drink," he purred against my shoulder as his nose traced along my skin and up to my ear at the same time, his hands guided me closer to the cup filled with warm blood.
    His chest grazed my skin as I shakily lifted the glass to my mouth.  Closing my eyes, I drank deeply, my eyes rolling back at the taste of the blood and the sensation of Stefan's never-ending caresses that ran a circuit over both breasts, down my stomach, across my ass, and along my spine. When he reached my yoga pants, strong fingers gripped the waistband, tugging them down to my knees along with my panties.
    His hands moved between us.  I heard the rustle of denim, the tug of the metal zipper and finally, the sound of his jeans falling to the floor.  He parted my thighs and I felt his cock slip between my legs as my back came into contact with his hard chest. Two flexing, strong arms braced on either side of me, but it was the voice in my ear that caused me to lose all reason. The rational Stefan and Josephine were gone, only to be replaced with mated predators that just couldn't get enough: enough blood, enough of each other, enough of anything.  We were beyond conscious thought and reason.
    "Drink.  Drink all of it." I heard his command in my ear just before teeth nipped at my earlobe. "Take it all and then I am going to fuck you. Just like this."
    His words were like waving a red flag in front of a bull.  The appeal of blood forgotten, my head fell back as a keening moan escaped my lips. When his cock slipped into me and he was buried to the hilt, my mouth broke away from the rim of the cup to cry out in pure pleasure.  It slipped from my fingers, shattering to pieces in the basin of the sink.
    “Josephine,” he growled, his forehead falling to my shoulder.  He ignored the broken, bloody glass in the sink as I felt my t-shirt being ripped from my body, leaving me naked against him. "I do not tell you enough how much I adore you." Teeth scraped against my shoulder blade as his breath came out in hot bursts across my skin. "I love that you are mine in every way.  And now that you are indestructible you are perfect..."
    I moved back to meet his thrusts, my answering cry echoing in the apartment around us. The loving vampire I knew had taken a backseat to this untamed version of himself. And if his thoughts were any indication, he wasn't going to hold back anymore.
    His fingers linked with mine, but his other hand tugged at my hair, holding my neck back so that he could thrust deeper and deeper into me. He filled me over and over, his mouth leaving stinging kisses along my back and shoulders. When he finally let go of my hair, he pushed gently on my back until I was bent over the countertop.  My breasts pressed against the cold granite, causing another gasp to fall from my lips.
    With the blood gone, strength surged through me...I'd never felt so alive, or more powerful.  If I thought my desire for Stefan had been intense before, what I felt now made my previous feelings seem weak in comparison.  Every part of me wanted more, needed more...craved more.
    Our minds merged, the overwhelming feeling of being one connected us in new ways I never thought possible.  His blood now ran through my veins along with my own, and I could feel him in every part of my being.  We were one in every way.
