if you have other plans, you can take me back to the host….”
“We’ll spend the day together,” he said quickly as her words began to sink in. There was no way he was ever going to let her go, not if he could continue to feed from her and not destroy her. God, she was a marvel and the rush of euphoria was something he had never experienced in all of the Calices he had created throughout his existence.
Smoothing the dress over her body, she turned and faced him, an impish grin on her face, “You’ve ruined me for anyone else; I fear that after I leave I’ll never have sex again.”
“Good,” he replied to the first part of her statement. Then his brows furrowed together as he became aware of her desire to leave him.
She raised an eyebrow at his statement, her smile turning into a smirk, “Good?”
“I want you to remain with me,” he said autocratically , expecting her to acquiesce without any resistance.
“Oh, I would love to,” she sighed, a dreamy expression on her face. He began to smile but she placed her hand on his chest and shook her head from side to side, a forlorn expression crossing her face. “Unfortunately, we’re all leaving tomorrow and as much as it pains me to admit, I doubt our paths will ever cross again.”
No! He wanted to scream as he gazed down at her, the resolution on her face. He was going to have to change her mind. “But you gave me your virginity.”
“Ah, you noticed that,” she smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “I hadn’t planned on losing it to, well, to a complete stranger.” She smiled up at him, “An incredibly sexy complete stranger; but there’s something about you.”
Her eyes drifted over his naked form and his cock came immediately to attention. A blush crept across her cheeks as she raised her eyes to face hi m once more. Licking her lips, she murmured, “I simply wanted you with every part of my being; hell, I still want you.”
“Then stay with me,” he compelled, infusing his voice with desire as he reached up and grabbed a strand of her hair. Pulling it towards his mouth, he breathed in her scent before kissing the dark locks. Lowering his voice, he purred, “Let me show you Paris.”
The heartrending smile returned to her lips as she reached up and tenderly cupped his cheek, the soft flesh pressing against his skin. “I would love nothing more than to do that but I start my new job on Tuesday and I have to return. Besides, the girls are probably at each other’s throats by now and….”
Seeing the desire still burning in her eyes, feeling the desire coursing through his body, he bent his head and captured her lips. If words weren’t going to convince her, he was going to have to use other methods. Without hurrying, he grabbed the material of her dress and gathered it up to her thighs, baring her flesh. As her mouth opened beneath his, he lifted her up and impaled her on his thick erection before she even realized what was happening. Her moan made him smile as he sucked her tongue into his mouth, tasting her sweetness.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, she clutched his shoulders. He held her tightly, never intending to let her go…. “Oh, God; Adamanteros!”

Auberon’s head swam with contingency plans as he walked the corridor to his brother’s room, giving Adam time to do what needed to be done. He had to figure out a way of killing the Thraell if Adam was unable to do so. Shaking his head, Auberon knew that he probably should have taken care of the problem last night. His brother had been in no shape to take the thing’s life, not when it so closely resembled the girl. If Adam had been thinking straight he would have made her a Calix without doubt and without regret; she was a human and that was their reward for getting involved with an Apocritum . But the girl – Celeste – had been unique and from the start she had had the strongest hold on his brother. Auberon was almost glad she was
