much as humans, our nerve endings work the same, but
the strongest of us can heal from most injuries in less than ten minutes
— damage a human may need weeks or months to recover from. Extreme damage
can take longer, of course, while minor damage heals almost instantaneously.”
Eric nodded, and Abbott continued. “Next, you need to know
there is nothing on this yacht you can successfully restrain Kendra to. We have
a play room at the coterie house with bondage furniture capable of holding a
vampire, but it will be a little while before the two of you will be able to
play there. Meanwhile, I would suggest not restraining her to anything you
don’t want broken, because if she pulls on her restraints in the heat of the
moment, she could easily destroy it by accident. If you bind her to herself
with cuffs or rope, then the only thing she may break is the cuff or the rope.
Also, you don’t have to worry about circulation with a vampire, so you can bind
her much tighter than you would a human. If you get creative enough, you can
put her muscles at such an angle so it’ll at least be a little harder for her
to break free.”
Abbott could see the sadist and Dom peeking through Eric’s
smile as he said, “Thanks, Abbott. I can see this is information Kendra may not
have shared with me.”
“You’re most welcome. Kendra is a good friend, and I like
what I’ve seen of you so far. I’ll walk myself out, and I hope you enjoy the
rest of your evening. I’ll see you tomorrow night at eight, so we can formalize
our arrangement.”
Chapter Four
When Abbott was gone, Eric pulled Kendra closer to him, his
gaze holding hers as he skimmed his hand down her back, returned to her
shoulder, and then skated his fingers around her neck to caress her cheek with
his thumb. “Kendra, when you bit me, it was…”
He didn’t seem to have the words to describe it, so she
leaned her head into his hand a little, grinned, and asked, “Orgasmic?”
“Well, yeah, but it was more than that. I mean, usually when
you get off, your dick and balls feel it and transmit it to the rest of your
body. But this was like every cell in my body was climaxing, but only my dick
and balls could actually complete the act. I’ve never felt anything like it.”
Now, she held his gaze, watched and listened for his
reaction as she told him, “Just imagine how it might be if I do it at the end
of sex, just as you begin to orgasm the regular way?”
His heart sped, his breathing hitched, and blood roared
through his veins. “I think it might be enough to just kill me dead, right
there.”
Kendra laughed, and realized she’d laughed more in the
twenty-four hours since she’d met Eric than she likely had in the past year.
“Oh no, you’ll survive it,” but then she paused and added, “assuming you want
me to bite you again.”
“You didn’t orgasm,” he said, “but when I held you, you
seemed all relaxed and happy , like you had. What does it do for you?”
She noted he hadn’t answered her question, but she didn’t
push. “Well, first off, you taste amazing. If you had a meal cooked by some
world famous chef, you’d be sated afterwards, reeling from the taste
sensations, right? Your blood is that good to me. And, second, there was
a bit of a metaphysical thing that happened, too, with our auras. They didn’t
join, but they mixed with each other a little, so I guess you could say I was
basking in the sensation I got from your aura. When two people are close, their
auras can join, become one large ball of light with two people in it. We may
eventually get there, but it’ll take time. Quite frankly, it’s rare for them to
mix so quickly after two people have met, so it’s confirmation, I guess,
showing the two of us have connected on a deeper level, already.”
Eric kissed her forehead, and every nerve ending in her body
came to life. She rested her head on his shoulder, let him pet her, and
snuggled into him. So
