She knew she shouldn't have given in so easily, but part of her knew it was all out of her control.

She was drowning in ecstasy at the hands of his sensual torture, yet her mind was full of questions. She wanted to ask him anything she could, but the words died upon her lips before she could vocalize them.

"Tell me" She managed to say as his hands snaked under the skirt of her dress. "I want to know more."

"And more you will know…" Vlad replied cryptically in between flicks of his tongue against her earlobe.

Garnet leaned into him, allowing him further access to parts unknown. She was at the point of no return and knew she could not turn back now.

Did she want to turn back?

As she felt the grazing of his clever tongue and mouth, she knew she didn't want to. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to let everything she'd seen in their shared dreams turn into reality.

"Do you trust me?" he asked, momentarily pulling away from her.

"I suppose I shouldn't…" she said, wondering why he asked her such a question while she lamented the loss of his touch. "But I do"

She could tell that her answer pleased him, for he moved closer, slipping something silky over her eyes.

She had never been blindfolded before and this brought a new heightened dimension to her desire for Vlad.

Shivering as his cool fingers made quick work of unzipping her dress, she heard his sharp intake of breath as the soft fabric slid down her body, pooling at her feet.

She stood there for several moments, wondering what would happen next. She sensed him nearby and felt his eyes upon her, but she wanted to feel his touch again.

After moments of staying still, she grew impatient and turned to see where he'd gone. Reaching out her hand, she felt the cold, smooth expanse of his sculpted chest against her fingertips.

"Yessss" she heard him hiss as he took her hand and put it to his cheek. "Touch me…show me that you hunger for me as I do for you, Garnet"

She shivered again, letting her fingertips trace his jaw as his hands trailed down from her cheeks to the nape of her neck in a slow, torturous movement.

She felt the clasps of her bra give way as he gently freed her from its constraints. The cups that hugged the curves of her breast were soon replaced by his cool hands as he turned her around slowly and pressed into her from behind.

Letting out a soft moan, she tilted her head as Vlad kissed a trail down from her ear to the juncture of her jugular and shoulder. His soft, yet insistent kisses put just the right pressure upon her to render her submissive to him.

She felt like she was floating, soaring up into the stratosphere of pleasure. He picked her up in a fit of passion and gently carried her to the bed, where he placed her on top like she was a newborn. The blindfold was suddenly ripped off of her eyes and she lay there, exposed to him.

Words could not describe the masculine beauty standing above her. Legs splayed in a power stance, arms crossed…he was a commanding figure of perfection.

She could tell he liked what he was gazing upon, if his noticeable arousal was any indication. His eyes looked upon her with reverence, something she'd never seen in a man's eyes before.

She allowed herself to explore his naked body with her eyes, memorizing every angle…every carved muscle. He was simply perfection…mouthwatering perfection…and he was hers for the taking.

Swallowing hard, she fought not to gasp as he bent down to crawl upon her exposed body. He nudged her thighs apart with a dominant knee and moved in between her legs until she could feel him brushing against the entrance to her core.

His eyes locked onto hers, he grabbed her leg and began kissing a trail from the bottoms of her calves to the inside of her thigh, pausing to take several nips of the plump skin.

He repeated the process with the other leg, using his teeth and tongue to claim her as his own. Then, he did something entirely unexpected.

Pleasure coursed through her as she felt his teeth score her skin. She felt a liquid warmth envelop her as the pressure of his teeth gave way and the insistent probing of his tongue and lips suckling her caused her to convulse in sheer ecstasy.

He then changed tactics, letting his lips trace upwards on her body until they reached the peaks and valleys of her full breasts. Placing harsh kisses on the area separating the mounds of flesh, he turned his attention to her right breast, dragging his teeth over the peaked nipple before licking it to soothe the chafing ache.

Garnet was drowning in pleasure, yet he hadn't even penetrated her yet. As his mouth closed over her nipple, she wondered how much more of his carnal assault she could take.

She felt the pressure of his teeth again and cried out as it broke the tender skin of her nipple. He began to suckle, the throbs of his insistent mouth mirroring the throbbing she felt between her legs for him.

"V…Vlad" she whimpered as the intensity of his sucking increased with each passing moment. "Please"

As if reading her mind, he unlatched himself from her chest and positioned himself at her entrance.

Without preamble, he let out an inhuman snarl as he thrust himself inside her, laying claim to everything she was.

"Everything I am is yours" he ground out as he pounded into her ruthlessly at an inhuman pace. "All you are is mine."

It didn't take long for Garnet to reach her climax. He seemed to know everything about her that even she didn't know about herself.

She felt as if her soul shattered into millions of pieces as her climax ripped through her. It took several moments for her to recover, but as soon as she came to her senses, she fell into a sated sleep…
