VAMPIRE TEMPTATION

Attack

*

Ruby

When I come to work the next day, I’m still kicking myself.

The office looks scarily empty, with a large portion of its employees gone. I feel like it’s all my fault. I just sat there and watched, knowing I had the power to end it all.

If I’d ended things with Klaus, none of this would have happened. I’m not sorry I’m still with him, but I don’t know how to live with myself if something happens to him or his coven because we couldn’t let each other go.

“Ruby, a word, please?”

I gratefully hurry into Klaus’s office.

“Hey. How are things going?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He ignores my question. “Stop beating yourself up. This isn’t your fault.”

How can you say that? If you’d never met me, you’d still have your alliance.

And I wouldn’t have…” Klaus trails off, apparently unable to express his thoughts properly, but he doesn’t need to.

I’ve seen the changes in him since he’s been with me. He’s been freer, happier.

I wonder how long before me it was that he truly let someone else in?

Too long.” Klaus sighs. “Sorry. I shouldn’t be replying to your thoughts.”

It’s ok. It’s good to get the reminder that you know what I’m thinking – it’s easy to forget. How are things with your coven?”

Klaus grimaces.

They’re scared – and I don’t blame them.

I’ve tried to reassure them, but any assurances I can give are kind of empty.

Word will soon get around to the more hostile covens that we are weak and without allies.”

“What will they do?”

“Probably start attacking individual members of my coven, now that they know they don’t have the power to retaliate. They will work down our numbers until there are so few of us that it is easy for them to swoop

in and take control of the pieces.

What are you going to do?”

From now on, none of my people go anywhere alone. I’ve paired up those of them without mates into a buddy system. I’ve set up a WhatsApp group, and we all need to check in every two hours when we’re not at Work.”

We tell the group what times we’ll be sleeping. If someone doesn’t check-in when they’re not asleep, and assigned pair goes to their house to check on them.”

I’m impressed. He’s certainly given this a lot of thought. “That sounds like it’ll work.”

It’s helpful, but two vampires together is hardly a match for an entire determined coven. It”‘ll work as a deterrent for now, but I need to come up with a practical long-term solution.”

I wish I had any ideas that could help, but Klaus has been in this world a lot longer than I have, and I feel hopelessly ignorant.

I’m struggling to think of words of comfort when the office door bursts open. That in itself is unusual, as very few people dare to enter here without knocking

Dave is paler than usual and doesn’t apologize for interrupting. “Klaus! Incoming coven, headed here.”

Klaus’s hands grip the desk tightly. Barricade the entrances. Get the humans into the ritual room – that’s the most secure.

“Set up battle stations.”

He takes my arm and hurriedly leads me to the ritual room. “Stay here. Don’t come out, no matter what.”

“I don’t understand, Klaus. I thought they would attack individuals?” I can’t quite keep the panic out of my voice.

“So did I,” he says grimly.

Apparently, they’re more ambitious than I thought.” He kisses me briefly before hurrying out.

I desperately want to hug him and have him tell me that everything will be ok, but I know this isn’t the time.

The other humans rush in a minute later.

Klaus closes and bolts the door behind them. I barely have a chance to exchange a panicked look with Amelia before it begins.

The sound of crashing, snarling and breaking is terrifying. Amelia and I cling to each other, not speaking. It’s not like we could make ourselves heard over the racket anyway.

All of the humans are cowering against the farthest wall. I feel like I should say something to comfort them.

Klaus won’t let anything happen to us. He’ll fight to the death to protect his people, and that includes the humans who work here.”

A few people nod. I hope I’ve helped, at least a little.

It seems like hours before it ends. When it does, we’re all too scared to open the door.

I flinch as it finally opens, terrified that the enemy coven has won, and we’re about to be captured.

Klaus sticks his head in. “It’s safe to come out.”

No one else seems eager to move, but I dash into his arms. He looks tired and strained, but otherwise uninjured.

Short-lived short-lived. Dave is laid out over one of the desks. There is so much blood, I don’t understand how there is any left in his body.

Mia is working frantically over him, snapping instructions to other vampires.

Mia is our healer,” Klaus explains. “We can’t risk human doctors working on us if we want to keep our secret.”

“Klaus, he needs blood!” Mia looks positively desperate.

Klaus tenses. He turns to the group of humans, who have followed him like lost sheep.

Dave will die without blood. You all know that the only way for human blood to sustain us is if the human is in orgasm while it is drawn.”

It takes a moment for what he’s saying to sink in.

“I’ll do it.”

The thought of having sex amidst this blood and carnage almost makes me sick, but if it’s the only way to save Dave, I’ll do it.

Thank you,” Klaus murmurs. “Here.”

He pulls another desk right up against the one where Mia is working on Dave. He gestures for me to lie down, which I do.

“Just close your eyes, and forget about everything else.”

I close my eyes, but forgetting about the destruction around me is going to be impossible.

Klaus starts undressing me. I’m way past embarrassment at this point.

I’m going to fuck your cunt with my tongue,” he says softly. “Then I’m going to put my fingers inside you and lick your clit until you are writing with pleasure. Would you ou like that, Ruby?”

Yes,” I breathe. I’m caught up in his voice and already starting to forget my surroundings.

Tell me how much you want me.”

So much. I need you inside me.”

He can surely smell my pussy by now. Am I leaking onto the desk? I certainly feel like I am.

Keep your eyes closed,” Klaus warns.

He brushes his hands lightly over my breasts, just enough to make me shiver, but not give me any firm pressure.

I spread my legs in invitation, and as I was hoping, he was unable to resist. Either that, or we don’t have a lot of time. I shove that thought in my mind.

Klaus starts kissing my inner thighs. I squirm under his lips, trying to move myself further down, but his hands on my hips prevent that.

You have to ask for it if you want it, Ruby.

Fuck, why is that so hot? I’d be annoyed if I wasn’t so turned on, but I’m not currently in a position to be stubborn.

Please fuck me, Klaus. Fuck me with your tongue and your fingers. God, I need you.”

He practically purrs in satisfaction and rewards me with a long lick, going from my pussy’s opening to my clit.

Without giving me a chance to catch my breath, he breaches my pussy with his tongue.

Oh god, that feels amazing.

Klaus starts thrusting in and out. His tongue isn’t as big as his cock, obviously, but it’s so slick and wet that it feels almost as amazing.

My clit is throbbing and demanding attention. I remember Klauss promise to lick me there.

“Klaus… I need you.”

He pulls his tongue out of my pussy so that he can talk, but quickly replaces it with his fingers. He doesn’t move them, though, just keeps them still inside my pussy.

Where do you need me, my sweet?

My clit,” I gasp.

Say please.

“Please, Klaus!”

As you wish.”

His first lick has me crying out and reaching to push his head down more firmly.

Klaus is too strong for his own good and ignores my attempt, keeping up light, tantalizing licks that drive me crazy.

Instead of thrusting his fingers, he wriggles them around, searching. He doesn’t need to read my mind to know when he finds my G-spot.

Oh – yes, Klaus, right there!”

Then he starts thrusting with his fingers, hitting my G-spot with every thrust. Klaus finally gives me some relief on my clit, licking firmly from bottom to top.

Klaus – I’m going – going to –

I don’t have time to finish my warning. I come so hard I’m practically levitating off the desk. The last thing I’m aware of is a pair of sharp fangs biting into my neck.
