Chapter 92

Tessa’s POV

My heart nearly jumped out of my throat at his words. I stared over at him in shock and saw the dark expression that hovered across his features. His eyes were fixed on my face, and I couldn’t read the look he was giving me.

But he just asked me to go with him for spring break, to the mountains.

Was he serious?”

“Really?” I found myself asking.

He nodded his head once.

“It can be a trial run to see if you can handle the life of a vampire,” he explained. “I trust my tribe. Though they might be a little hostile toward you, they won’t hurt you if you are there as my guest.”

I stared up at him in complete shock. I hardly even knew what to say. I wanted to throw my arms around him and hug him close to me. I wanted to press my lips against him and feel his closeness. I needed to be with him in all the ways possible.

But I remained frozen in his passenger seat, staring at him with what I’m assuming was a dumbfounded expression.

He frowned and stared around my face.

“Unless that’s not what you want…”

“Yes,” I said a little too loudly. “It’s exactly what I want. I’d love to go to the mountains with you,” I breathed.

My heart raced against my chest rapidly. I had to press the palm of my hand to my chest to steady it before it escaped.

Joseph gave me a small smile and nodded in agreement.

“Does this mean we are in a dating trial right now?” I asked.

“A dating trial?” He asked with little humor in his voice. “I suppose we are.”

I couldn’t hold back any longer, I took off my seatbelt and wrapped my arms around him, kissing his cheek.

At first, he was surprised, but then he wrapped an arm around me and nuzzled his face into my neck. I felt his lips against me, and it sent warmth across my body. I relaxed into his embrace, not ever wanting it to go away.

“Want to come inside?’ I asked, peering up at his darkened expression.

His eyes were so dark they nearly looked black, and it took my breath away. I found his darkness, the struggle against humanity, to be beautiful. It sent a shiver across my body, layering me with goosebumps, but it was a feeling I never wanted to end.

He nodded his head, unable to speak.

I wondered if it was my blood that drove him mad like this, or if it was simply me.

We got out of the car, and I went with him, holding onto his hand, into the building to the top floor till we reached my apartment.

He didn’t waste time. As soon as the door to my apartment was closed behind us, he spun me around to face him, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close to him.

He kissed my lips gently at first, but then it turned into pure hunger as he bit onto my lips, drawing it into his mouth.

I ran my fingers through his hair, jumped up, and wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me into my bedroom.

His tongue explored my mouth, as if savoring me hungrily. I twirled my tongue around his, loving his taste and everything he had to offer me at this moment.

He broke his kiss from mine and trailed his lips down my neck until he reached the area where my neck met my shoulder. He kissed and licked the spot gently before tossing me onto the bed.

I threw my head back in laughter as he climbed on top of me, pressing his body firmly against mine, pinning me to the bed, and making it impossible to move. I didn’t want to move. I loved his closeness and wanted him as close as possible.

I was craving his body. I felt starved and deprived of him.

Now he was mine and I was determined to prove that this was going to work, even if he was my professor.

He kissed down my chest, reaching for the buttons of my blouse. He began undoing each button. I was grateful that he didn’t destroy it like he did my last shirt. Soon, he was tossing my shirt to the ground, leaving me in my bra. He stared around my body with amazement lingering in his eyes, causing heat to spread through my features.

I was suddenly feeling a little self-conscious, but the pure lust and hunger in his eyes brought me out of my head.

He lifted his shirt over his head and tossed it on top of mine, showing off his incredible body to me.

I found myself reaching toward his torso and running my fingers down his abs. A smile tugged at my lips as he neared me once again, pressing his lips firmly against mine. He then started to kiss down my chest, cupping my breasts in his hands and kissing my cleavage as if he’d been starved of me as well.

He brought my bra down, revealing my hardened nipples to him. A smile painted his lips as he kissed, licked, and nibbled on them. I closed my eyes, feeling the sweet ecstasy of his touch.

He began to unbutton and unzip my pants, just as I sat up and unhooked my bra from the back, throwing it to the floor. He slid off my pants and tossed them aside as well. I reached for his pants, desperately wanting to get them off.

I managed to get them unbuttoned as he kissed my lips. I felt his chest vibrating as he silently laughed. He helped me undo the rest of his pants and kicked them to the floor, leaving him in his boxers, and me only in my panties.

I wrapped my legs around his body, feeling the bulge against his boxers. He kissed my lips tenderly and hungrily and then began to kiss down my neck again. I moaned softly as I felt him against me. I was desperate to have him inside of me.

He kissed down my torso, licking and nibbling every ounce of my body. He positioned himself between my legs, sliding my panties down my legs and over my feet. I was completely revealed to him and vulnerable. He looked at me like he desired me and wanted only me.

He leaned down, kissing and licking my inner thighs until he reached my center. I gasped as I felt him teasing my clit with his tongue. I dug my nails into the bed and arched my back, feeling his tongue circle around it and flicking it gently. He sucked on it like it was candy, sending the warmth of pleasure to pulsate throughout my body.

I reached for his head, running my fingers through his hair. I heard a soft moan escape from him as he continued to please me.

It didn’t take long for me to reach my orgasm, and once I did, I exploded around him. He ran his kisses back up my torso until he reached my lips.

I needed him inside of me. I helped him pull his boxers off, revealing his large erection. He never ceased to amaze me. He teased my hole with the tip of his penis for a moment before he slid inside of me.

I gasped at the sensation and threw my head back. At first, he went slow and appeared gentle. But then once he found his rhythm, he picked up speed.

“Oh, Joseph…” I moaned, tugging at my own breasts as he continued to thrust into me.

Sweat began to bead at the top of his forehead and drip down his incredibly handsome features. I closed my eyes tightly, feeling every ounce of him hitting that spot that made my entire body tingle and pulsate. His touch was electrifying and caused me to tremble without control.

I continued to moan in pleasure.

I put my hands on his shoulders and moved him, so he was on his back, and I was on top of him. I wanted to do some of the work as well. He stared up at me like he had never seen anything like me before and I loved that about him.

I loved everything about him.

I rode him as he kept his hands on my hips, watching as my breasts bounced in front of me. I picked up speed, causing his body to arch and shutter as he began to reach his climax. He moaned out my name, and I loved hearing my name leaving his lips when he was most vulnerable.

I felt his erection jerking as he allowed himself to release. My orgasm came quickly after, causing me to fall on top of him.

We both gasped for breath as our bodies began to calm. He cradled me in his arms and rolled me over to lay beside him.

I never wanted to let him go. I wanted to remain like this forever.

He kissed the top of my forehead and continued to hold me for what felt like an eternity. I was tired and felt sleep approaching.

“Please don’t leave…” I whispered as I closed my eyes. “Not again…”

He was quiet for a moment and just before sleep took over completely, I heard his distant words.

“I’m not going anywhere…”
