Sebastian watched in satisfaction and a bit of envy as she drank Matt's come. Sebastian dreamed of the night she'd lick his cock like that. It would be soon, he promised himself, but first he had to prepare her for her new life. Letting Matt fuck her and feed her was an important first step. It would make her faster and stronger than most vampires. She'd need those skills when the time came to confront her past. That was the only reason he allowed this interlude. He was doing it for her. All for her. So that she would be strong and sure in her own abilities.
Her arms trembled as she came down from the orgasmic high, still licking Matt's big cock and sighing softly. Sebastian gently grasped one of her legs and coaxed her to kneel at Matt's side.
«Now I want you to try it.»
She looked up at him, lethargy and satisfaction in her soft eyes. She was tired. He could see it and sense it, but she needed to do this. She'd barely fed from the werecougar. She needed his magic blood to make her strong, especially this first time. All they'd done to this point would be for naught if she failed to drink deeply enough this time.
«I don't know if I can do this.» Her eyes were wide with apprehension.
Sebastian reached out to cup her cheek. He was deeply touched by this gentle flower of a woman who had been treated so badly by her husband. He never wanted to see her hurt again. Not if he could prevent it.
«You must. I have faith in you. Just do as I showed you. I'll take care of the rest.»
«I don't want to hurt him.»
Matt surprised them both by sitting up and drawing Christina's face close to his. «Do I look like I'm in pain, sweetheart?» He kissed her forehead, meeting Sebastian's gaze over the top of her head. Both men knew the importance of this first feeding. «I want you to do this. I want you to be strong.» He moved back and stroked her hair away from her face. «Sebastian told me what happened to you, Christy.» The cougar's voice rumbled low in the dimness of the room. «My sister was killed by her mate before we knew he'd been abusing her. It's the reason I agreed to this. I don't like the idea of any woman being unable to defend herself-especially one that's been hurt so badly, the only way to save her was to change her. You've suffered enough.»
She sobbed then, allowing Matt to pull her close against his chest. The men shared a look of understanding across her shoulders, each aware of the hurt this woman had suffered. Jeff Kinsey was a disgrace to mankind. A brute who resorted to violence and attempted murder when he didn't get his way. Neither Sebastian nor Matt would stand for that. They both wanted her to be strong enough to face anything or anyone that came her way in the future.
Sebastian knew they were of one mind where Christina was concerned. He and Matt had talked about this in depth while she slept. Giving were blood to a novice was not something anyone did lightly. Only these special circumstances allowed such a rare occurrence.
«Why are you being so nice? You don't even know me.» Her words were whispered against Matt's chest.
«I know enough.» His eyes were grim as they met Sebastian's. «I know your husband's type and I know what will happen if you feed properly from my blood this first time. I know it will make you stronger than a vamp your age should rightly be.» He kissed the crown of her head gently. «And I know Sebastian. He wouldn't have asked this of me if it wasn't important. I trust him with my life and that isn't something any were says lightly. Especially about a bloodletter.»
She looked up into Matt's eyes. «You're a special man.»
Matt's big hands cupped her pretty fanny. «Did I also mention that I get a boost in my own healing abilities and a night of unbelievable sex out of the deal?» His eyebrows waggled, teasing her. «I'd almost forgotten how good being with a vamp could be. My kind has nothing on you guys when it comes to pleasuring your partner. We have to do it the old fashioned way, but you've got some kind of voodoo that launches your partner into the stratosphere. It's pretty beguiling.» He smoothed her hair. «Don't think I'm not enjoying myself, and you won't hurt me, sweetheart. For one thing, Sebastian here is using his mojo to cloud any pain you miss, but if I'm not much mistaken, you're already exerting your own power to dull any pain your magic tongue doesn't already negate.»
She looked over at Sebastian, her eyes wide. «I'm not doing anything.»
«Yes, you are. Actually, it's rather remarkable. I think your new instincts are kicking in sooner than normal because of your overwhelming desire not to hurt him. I noticed your energies, shielding him from the small pain of your bite when I tried to shield him. You needed a boost, but I think he wouldn't have felt much anyway, even if I hadn't been there to back you up.»
«It takes a lot to hurt a were anyway. Our pain threshold is pretty high compared to a human or even a vamp.» Matt kissed her sweetly before setting her away. «Now bite me woman. I want to feel that magic tongue of yours on me again.» He lay back and positioned the pillows under his head so he could watch everything, a broad, encouraging smile on his face.
It was obvious to Sebastian that she was still unsure, but she moved down Matt's rangy body with purpose as Sebastian encouraged her. She started by teasing Matt some more, licking his balls until he was hard and swollen again.
«You trying to kill me with pleasure, little vamp?» Matt asked, looking at her with indulgent eyes. Her fangs elongated and scraped ever so lightly along the ridges of his big cock as both men watched, entranced at the sight. Sebastian had to shift his legs to accommodate the uncomfortable hardness in his trousers. Watching Christina tease Matt made him harder than he'd been in centuries.
«Mmm.» The sound of her moan shuddered through him. «I thought you should enjoy the ride if I'm going to suck your blood.»
«That's not all you're sucking.» Matt chuckled, then gasped as she took him deep in her throat. «Yeah, baby, just like that.»
She felt Matt's excitement rising and she wondered just how to go about this. Sebastian was there, though, guiding her.
«Feel your fangs dropping even more?» Sebastian's voice made her feel shivery inside. «Take a moment now and do what you need to prepare. Then you can bring Matt with you when you go over the moon.»
It was easier this time to locate the pulse that pounded through the werecougar's strong body. Her fangs dropped all the way as her hunger rose. Christy ran her tongue over the sharp tips as she lowered her head to the area Sebastian had shown her. With a glance up at Matt's approving gaze, she set to work, locating the right spot and using her tongue and mind to block any pain her bite might cause.
Sighing as she found the right place, she sank her fangs deeply, decisively, and felt the welling of his powerful blood into her mouth. It was unlike anything she could have imagined. Christy had been squeamish before, but now, with the hunger riding her and Matt's potent blood flooding her senses, she feasted.
Still, somewhere in the back of her mind, she felt concern for Matt's comfort. She wanted him to enjoy this and if not enjoy, then at least feel no pain from what she was doing. With a glance upward, she reassured herself he was all right. His eyes glowed as he watched her, his cock hard as a rock between them.
With a last long lick of the wound she'd made, she focused a tiny bit of the magic now flowing through her veins and sealed the punctures with a thought, healing them as if they'd never been. Rapacious now, she climbed over Matt, settling herself over his hardness. He slid inside her waiting core, and she loved the feel of him filling her as she began to move.
