Luca's Magic Embrace (30 page)

Fearless when faced with the unknown, she stood her ground. And she was smart as a whip, amazing him with her knowledge of cryptic code breaking and how she reveled in the challenge. Samantha had never backed down to Léopold either. When he was captured, she’d risked her life with the ancient vampire just so she could find Luca. Strong-willed. Beautiful. Intelligent.
His.

Luca’s thoughts drifted to their lovemaking and how passionately she had embraced the experience. He loved watching her climax, letting go of her inhibitions. He grew long and firm thinking of how she’d taken him into her mouth, teasing him endlessly. She trusted him, a vampire, to take her to places she’d never gone before. Remembering the sight of her tied to his bed sweetly moaning and writhing in pleasure, he smiled. Lascivious and loving, she brought him to a new level of felicity that he’d never known in his long life. He couldn’t imagine what life would be like without her. It wasn’t just the bonding. It was everything about her. He loved her more than life itself. He wanted her here, building a life together. Forever.

A broad smile broke across Samantha’s face as she felt Luca’s strong arms encircle her waist and a kiss to her ear. She turned in his arms to face him and smiled. God, she loved this man. The sight of the gorgeous male took her breath away. Shirtless, he wore white cotton drawstring pajama pants and padded around barefoot. He was confident and comfortable no matter his surroundings. Over her shoulder, she noticed the champagne and glasses he’d set on the glass end table.

“Hmmm…champagne? So early in the morning?”

“Yes, darlin’. This is New Orleans,” he drawled. “Think of it like mimosas without the orange juice.”

“Well, when you put it that way, how can a girl refuse?” She gave him a flirty smile, turning around to face him.

“That’s what I’m counting on. But before we toast, let’s get rid of the remains, shall we?” he suggested. “Would you care to do the honors?”

“Nothing would make me happier.” She carefully opened the packet, and turned it upside down. Red, gray and black ashes floated downward, falling gently into the sea.

When the pouch was fully emptied, Luca raised a knowing eyebrow at her and held up a lighter. “Just to be on the safe side.”

“Just to be on the safe side,” she agreed as she watched him light the bag on fire.

Tossing the lighter aside, he pinched the end of the sack and held it up to the air to burn. Devoured by flames, he cast it into the waves.

“I can’t tell you how relieved I am to see that thing gone,” she sighed.

“You and me both,” he concurred. “Now for something really important, a toast and a proposition.”

“A toast sounds wonderful. But a proposition? Sounds cryptic, but then again, I do love a good mystery.”

“Ah, but you are good with puzzles. First, the toast.” He held his flute to hers. “To finding more than just an amulet. To finding you, Samantha…the love of my life.”

“And to finding you. To us,” she countered.

Clinking glasses and then taking a sip, Luca took her slender hand in his and led her over to the open-air deck bed. He pulled her onto his lap and held her.

Samantha’s cheek rested on his bare chest. The masculine scent of him piqued her desire. She wanted to make love to him again over and over. Sensing he wanted to talk, she resisted the urge to slide her hands down into his pants. Instead she caressed his chest and played innocently with his flat nipple.

“You are making me lose my train of thought, you naughty girl,” he groaned at her touch. His arousal grew, but first, they needed to talk.

“Samantha, look at me.” He placed a finger under her chin, tilting her head toward his.

“Yes,” she said lazily.

“I told you about Eliza. She was my first love...long before I was turned. I was only a young man when I met her. When we were attacked that night and she died, I was devastated, just filled with rage. I swore never to love again. And for all these years, it’s been fairly easy to do. In truth, I never met anyone who could make me feel. Sure, lust is something that comes and goes like the wind. But finding someone, someone like you; it is rare.” He absentmindedly rubbed her palm with his thumb.

“What I’m trying to say is that I want you here with me. Not just now, but forever. I know this must seem sudden, but I can tell you that I am certain of my feelings for you. I want you as my wife. I want a family. I want a real home, not just a museum full of antiquities. Please. Stay here with me,” he whispered as his words trailed off.

Samantha regarded him for a minute, stunned by his proposal. Her heart bloomed at the prospect of spending her life with Luca. She placed her hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes. “Yes, I’d love to stay with you. I know we haven’t known each other very long, but over the past few weeks we’ve been through more than most people have been through in a lifetime. And now, I can’t imagine my life without you. I don’t think I ever really knew what love was until I met you. And I never knew what it meant to have a man love me back. There is only you. I am yours.”

Luca gathered her red locks in his fingers and drew her soft, pink lips to his. He gently kissed her, slowly, deliberately. Savoring the sweetness of her mouth, his tongue found hers. She opened willingly, intoxicated as he sought to send her into ecstasy.

Samantha’s blood raced in anticipation of his touch. She wanted all of him now, and couldn’t hold back the urge to strip him naked and take what was hers. Sensually releasing his lips, she rose off his lap and straddled his legs. Leisurely, she untied the belt to her robe. As the panels revealed her skin, she seductively peeled the fabric down her shoulders and let it pool at her feet. Standing bare before him, she smiled as he tried to reach for her hips.

Luca marveled at the way her ivory skin glowed. She was a magnificent creature. The blonde highlights in her curls reflected off the sunlight and flowed over the soft, ripe swell of her breasts.

Flipping her hair aside, she exposed her pebbled pink tips. Flush with arousal, she held his hands firmly to her hips, teasing him, driving him mad with desire.

“Luca, I’m in control this morning,” she purred. “Will you let me take care of you?”

“Darlin’, you’d better do something soon. You know, I can’t resist you for one minute longer,” he said, hanging onto a thread of control. His rock hard erection was straining to be released.

“As you wish.” Samantha agilely dropped to her knees, letting her fingernails graze his chest all the way to the fine trail of hair that led into his pants. Gripping the sides of his pajamas, she yanked hard until she tore the pants down off his body. Animalistic, she planned to take him in every way she could. She wanted to possess him, to be possessed.

Luca’s breath startled as his cock sprang free. Samantha was rough, wanton. He’d never seen her so aggressive and loved every minute of it. He extended his arms backward, laying his palms flat to support his weight. Completely nude to her, he patiently waited as he watched her graze a path with her nails to the apex between his legs.

Excited by the sight of his exquisite musculature, Samantha grew wet, yearning to have him inside of her. Meeting his eyes, she leaned forward and attentively licked the tip of his firm flesh. She delighted in the spicy taste of him. He hissed in delight as she swirled her tongue around it, lavishing the head with long, wet brushes. Wrapping her fingers around him, she parted her lips and devoured the full length of his aroused manhood.

Luca thought he’d explode; her warm moist tongue caused his shaft to bob in eagerness. Unable to restrain himself any longer, Luca sat up and plowed his hands through her hair.

She mercilessly plunged him in and out of her hot mouth. She felt him grow close to climax and backed off. Still stroking his hard male heat, she lifted him up with one hand as she felt for his scrotum. Opening widely she sucked him into her mouth rolling them one at a time, licking and teasing.

Luca moaned out load at the intrusion. The vixen was going to make him insane. “Aw fuck, that feels so good. Please,” he begged for release.

Hearing his plea, she grinned and once again began to suckle his hot swollen flesh. Slightly twisting her grip, she built the sensation within him. He was so very close and bucked his hips upward into her warm sweetness. In and out, her head rose and fell, sucking him harder and harder.

“Samantha, I’m gonna come.” He didn’t want to release in her mouth without her permission.

Ignoring his pleas, she held onto him tight and increased her pace. “Mmmm, come for me.” She resumed her assault, sucking him deeply.

Luca groaned as he lost control, stiffening as he exploded into her.

Greedily, she took all of him, milking his essence until he collapsed backward onto the bed. Licking her swollen lips, she stalked over him. Her naked body straddled his belly.

“Samantha,” he panted. “You’ll be the death of me, woman. My God. That was unbelievable.” She quietly smiled down on him as he caught his breath.

“Tired, vampire?” she challenged.

“Not on your life, witch. It’s my turn to feast!” With preternatural speed, he flipped Samantha on her back.

She giggled uncontrollably. “Not fair! Not fair!” she feigned a protest.

Luca captured a rosy taut nipple in his mouth and sucked it. “Mmmm….it’s more than fair. You taste delicious. I love your breasts, so soft and so very ready to be plucked.” He pinched a firm peak while laving the other with his tongue. “I plan to kiss and worship every inch of your lovely body.”

“Um…Yes. That feels so good. I love you so much. I’ve never felt like this in my entire life. No one has ever…” Her words trailed off as she felt his lips kiss down her stomach. Her sex ached in need, awaiting his mouth on her core. She yearned to feel him on her, in her.

As he dipped into her sex with his tongue, she lost track of all thoughts. Biting down on her lip, she resisted the urge to scream, knowing the captain was somewhere on the boat. Not one for public sex, she almost forgot they weren’t entirely alone. Yet she was too far gone to stop now.

As he parted her folds with his fingers, she sucked in a breath. Tendrils of magic wisped over her naked body; he swept around her most sensitive point. She pushed her hips up into his mouth, seeking what she needed. But he continued to tease her, licking, tasting but not directly licking her clit. She felt like she was almost there…almost. But she needed more. “Please,” she begged.

Luca laughed a little as she wove her fingers into his hair, attempting to guide him to where she wanted. He planned to make love to her slowly. Her honeyed essence tasted so delicious on his lips. Feeling her quiver, he knew how close she was to going over the edge. Sensing this, Luca halted and began to leisurely kiss her pink mound. He wanted to bring her up to the precipice and back down, over and over until she was ripe with need. Teasing and tantalizing.

“Luca, please, don’t stop. I need…I need…” She couldn’t finish, feeling as if she was riding a roller coaster of passion, up and down.

“Mmmm….what do you need? Do you know how delectable you are? I could stay here all day,” he joked as he began to create a crescendo of sensation once again.

She smiled, realizing he was purposefully driving her crazy. “Luca, please…please lick me,” she pleaded.

“You mean here?” He playfully sampled her clitoris and started to build speed and pressure with his tongue.

“Yes, there. Oh my God!” She realized she was starting to scream
. Oh well. Fuck the captain.
She gave up on worrying about being seen or heard.

“Or do you mean here?” Luca inserted a thick, long finger into the heat of her sex, quickly followed by two. He pumped in and out of her core, sweeping his broad flat tongue over and over her clit.

“Yes!” She screamed again. Samantha was starting to shake. She fought for breath; her head rolled backwards as her body tightened like a spring.

“Or did you mean here?” Luca put his soft, firm lips around her swollen pink bead, sucking. At the same time, he stimulated the stretch of skin inside her by slightly crooking his fingers upward toward him. He loved hearing her scream in pleasure, loved making her feel good. It was music to his ears. Unrelenting, he kept up the torturous delightful invasion, bringing her into a rapturous state of frenzy.

“I’m coming! Yes! Luca! Luca!” The crest of an incredible climax broke over her. Samantha felt as if she was floating out of her body as a zenith of pleasure rocked throughout every cell of her being. She grabbed tightly on his hair, holding him to her. Quaking under his touch, she gasped for breath.

Relishing the sweet taste of Samantha and the sound of her climax, Luca was hardened in arousal. He climbed over her, resting his forearms next to her head. The tip of his erection pressed against her wet entrance. Belly to belly, he reveled in the feel of their flesh as one. He smiled down on her as she slowly opened her eyes.

Every inch of her skin was hypersensitive after the amazing orgasm Luca had given her. Feeling his weight above her, she gazed at him through heavy-lidded eyes, and smiled back. “Did you enjoy teasing me? Because I sure enjoyed it. That was unreal.”
