VAMPIRE TEMPTATION

First Date *** Klaus pov.

༺♡༻ Klaus, we have a problem.” I do my best to smile politely. “How can I help you, Katherine.” I told you that you can’t trust that girl! She’s been doing research on cults. If she reports us to the police… Even though I know how serious such an accusation would be, I have to fight laughter. You can’t blame Ruby for being curious. She’s hardly the first one to wonder what we’re up to before we bring them in.” This could be dangerous! You’re not taking it seriously enough.” Genius strikes me. You’re right, Katherine. We can’t have her reporting us to the police as a potential cult. We need to bring her into the secret, at once. it’s too risky to wait.” Katherine looks like she just swallowed a lemon.”Do you think that trusting her with a secret as dangerous as ours is the right thing to do? Are you insane, Klaus?” I shrug, trying not to look too smug. *”We can’t fire her. If we do, we’ll certainly go to the police with the cult story. Bringing her in is our only option.” I have Katherine trapped, and she knows it. Our covens don’t kill human-like some others do, but I’m sure that if I could read her mind, I’d see her reconsidering changing coven policy. Very well, Klaus. If anything goes wrong, it will be on your head.” It always is,” I murmur as she leaves. When you’re the coven leader, everything is on you. Katherine leads her own coven, but we’ve agreed that in our alliance, mine will be the dominant coven. I find myself wondering about Ruby. I’ve made way too many mistakes where she is concerned. I had almost managed to refuse her the other day, but the smell of her blood drove me completely over the edge. Other vampires wouldn’t have managed even what restraint you did. They wouldn’t have just slept with her- they would have ripped her throat out. That’s no excuse. You enticed her again, and she has a boyfriend. It doesn’t matter that you couldn’t control it. You should be better She doesn’t have a boyfriend anymore, though. They broke up. And you’ve been listening to her thoughts. She would love nothing more than to have sex with you

again. This time, you would have nothing to feel guilty about. I go back and forth in my head, arguing with myself first one way, then another. It’s no surprise to me that I eventually give in, calling Ruby into the office. “Strip.” “No.” I look at her in frank surprise. I thought she wanted this? Very well. You may leave.” “No. I want to strip for you and let you take. me… but you’ll have to take me on a date first.” I snort. A date. What a ridiculous idea. “Not a chance.” I hadn’t expected the effect my words have on her. Her face falls, and her thoughts spiral inward, wondering if she’s not good enough for me. I want to tell her that’s not the case, but I can’t admit that I can read her thoughts. She turns to leave. Ruby, wait.” Her smile could light up the entire world. “Perfect!” We just can’t let anyone here find out. It won’t look good, you know, the boss sleeping with his assistant. I can pick you up from your place?” Of course. That’ll give me time to change. She gives me her address and leaves. I’m well aware that I’m grinning like an idiot. It’s been decades since I went on a date. The day seems to drag on after that. After what seems like a year, I finally arrive at Ruby’s house. She’s wearing a long red dress that reminds me of how sweet her blood smells. “Good evening, Ruby.” I take her hand, leading her to the car and opening the door. I’ve made reservations in the best restaurant in town. Ruby looks radiant as the waiter takes us to our seats. I only realize as I sit down that I have no idea what to say. I can’t retreat into my persona of the ill-tempered CEO. This is a date, and my usual defense mechanisms won’t work here. “Tell me about yourself.” To my relief, she doesn’t laugh at my inept attempt at making conversation. Instead, she does exactly what I ask. I listen raptly, finding that I love learning about her life. After two glasses of wine, I find it easier to talk naturally with her. It’s difficult, and not only because I’m not practiced at dates. That dress is low cut, and I have to keep reminding myself that if I start fondling her breasts here, we’ll be kicked out. “What about you, Klaus? I hardly know anything about you.” I’m so used to lying, but I find I don’t want to do that with Ruby he. Well, most of my family is dead. I still have a sister, but we don’t really talk. I’ve got good allies, though. Vamp Investments is doing well, and I feel like I’ve carved out a good niche for myself and my people in this World.” She looks sad, and I wonder if I should have lied after all. “I’m sorry to hear about your family. It sounds like the business has become your family.” “Pretty much. A lot of the people I work with are dear to me.” It’s my responsibility to protect my coven, but I can’t tell her that, at least not yet. I listen intently as she tells me about her hesitation in getting close to people at work. It explains a lot – like why I couldn’t originally pick up that she had a boyfriend from her thoughts. She tries not to think

about home stuff at work. The night flies by. Too soon, the restaurant is closing. I could probably pay them to stay open longer, but we both have work tomorrow. I’ll take you home. “I’m not quite ready to go home yet. How about you show me your apartment?” The suggestive wink she gives me forces me to remind myself once again that I can’t pounce on her here. “Of course.” I probably drive faster than I should, getting home in record time. I don’t make much of an effort to show Ruby around. I’m mostly interested in showing her the bedroom. She doesn’t seem interested in the bedroom at all. Her eyes are fixed on me as she starts. stripping. I do the same, and in moments, we are both naked and breathing slightly harder than usual. I finally give in to desire and pounce on her. I throw her onto the soft bed, leaping after her, covering her body with mine. I kiss her so hard that I almost draw blood. I pause, wondering if I’m being too rough, but Ruby’s thoughts are triumphant. This is exactly what she wants. She tries to flip us to get on top, but I growl and hold her hands down. She shivers slightly and I can smell it as her pussy starts to leak. I’ve never been so grateful for my heightened vampire senses. Ruby smells utterly divine. I rub myself against her, giving my cock some much-needed friction. Ruby is tilting her hips backward and forward, an unconscious motion, I think, one born ofContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

need. I break away from our kiss. I’m more than happy to give her what she needs. She spreads her legs, probably expecting my finger. We have time and space here, something we never had in the office. I intend to use it. I start licking her clit, slowly and lightly at first, teasing her with gentle touches. I can tell from her thoughts that her body is way ahead of me, already teetering at the end of the release. I intend to taste her release many times tonight. Small whimpers come out of her mouth as sucks hard on her clit. “Klaus – Klaus, I -” Her back arches beautifully as she comes. I keep sucking her clit until she is wrung out and splayed across the bed. I slowly lick her pussy, enjoying the taste. My cock is still urgently hard, but I have plenty of time. I start trailing wet kisses across her breasts, giving her time to recover while slowly rekindling her desire. Loud knocking interrupts us. I freeze at the voice I hear. “Klaus! Open up.” Shit. Fuck, fuck, fuck! I’d completely forgotten that I told Katherine she could come over to discuss the business plan for the next six months. If she finds Ruby here… I doubt she’ll let her live for more than a few minutes. First Date *** Klaus pov.
