"Am I your mate?"

The words were half-expected, but as they flowed out from the blonde's lips, they formed a hand that lunged right for the Queen's throat. She visibly gulped, her eyes hardening as she tried to maintain her composure.

She thought about it. Thought about whether it was true or not? No—she had known it was true since that day outside when the girl had pressed her face against her chest. It had hit her like a truck, a large one at that. What she thought about was how messy it made her situation. Being mated to a human would only propel the rebels' anger and make them more ready to attack, for it would make her look weak. But she didn't care how it made her look or the shock value of it or how it was taboo or how it used to be punishable by death long ago. It was only recently, after vampires invaded the human race, that they deemed that law unnecessary. But it was still widely unaccepted, and it was definitely not beneficial to her position as Queen.

But she knew it was true in the deepest parts of her soul, and she could tell Lily did, too. She blinked softly, a smile shadowing her lips as she stared at the most beautiful specimen she had ever come across in her five centuries of life. "Yes," she murmured.

Lily felt breathless at the confirmation, and she didn't quite know what to do with it. She hadn't even been sure that mates were a real thing amongst vampires; she had figured it was just rumors that humans had circulated. But there she was, sitting on a bed with the Queen of Vampires, being told that she was her mate.

"Well," she spoke awkwardly, glancing down to the pitch black duvet. "That's..." She didn't know what to say.

"I know," Rose answered her trailing words, understanding the feelings she was feeling. She chewed on her lip as she stared at the same spot on the duvet that Lily stared at, worry filling her that this realization would make the girl uncomfortable and tense. It was a lot for a human to handle, she had to admit.

But Lily looked back up to the vampire who had grown solemn. It was like chemistry, the way her heart filled until it felt like would burst every time she looked at her. It was sensible, the fact that they were mates, because how else could two polar opposite species come together the way they had? It was right, and what felt even more right was the feeling of her sliding her hand into Rose's and interlocking their fingers.

The woman glanced up, a bit startled when she saw the girl was smiling sweetly up at her. She glanced down to their hands, a small smile forming on her own lips as she tightened her fingers around hers. "You're okay with this?" she asked almost nervously, hesitantly connecting their eyes again.

Adoring the way the Queen of Vampires was suddenly acting so timid, Lily answered her question by leaning forward and crashing her lips against hers.

Rose, a bit startled at the sudden kiss, slowly snaked her hands around the girl's waist and kissed back, relishing in the sweetness of her lips against hers. She let her hands run up the girl's back, feeling her human form press closer to her.

Needing more contact, Lily sat up on her haunches and leaned harder against the vampire who let herself fall backwards onto the pillows. Both of them smiling into the kiss, Lily straddled the vampire and continued kissing her passionately, letting her hands trail up her broad shoulders.

Rose felt the girl's hungry lips leave her own and press wet kisses down the side of her face and to her neck, her kisses becoming sloppy against her skin. Feeling the girl's warm breath fan against her neck, Rose's eyes fluttered closed. She let her hands fall to the blonde's thighs, taking the hem of her dress and slowly lifting it upwards to expose her fair skin. Rose clenched her jaw as her hands rounded the girl's bum and squeezed it, her fingers pressing into her supple skin under her dress.

When she felt the girl moan softly against her neck, something ignited in her. She squeezed her bum more tightly, pulling her hips down as her own arched up. She tilted her head back as the girl continued to kiss right under her ear, her small body so warm and soft against her.

"Rose," Lily whispered as she let her lips fall to the vampire's collarbone, her nimble fingers pulling down the neck of her sweater to have more access. She was turned on by how soft and flawless the vampire's skin was, her collarbone protruding in the most beautiful way, being rid of that excess meat humans tended to have in various places.

The girl gasped a bit when she felt hands swiftly reach up to the zipper of her dress below the back of her neck, slowly pulling it down and leaving a trail of chills down her spine. Distracted by the feeling of air reaching the exposed strip of her back, her lips rubbed lazily against the collarbone they were once focused on.

Rose gently pulled the back of the dress apart and down the shoulders of the girl who leaned up. She stared up at her, seeing the hesitance in her blue eyes and matching it with comfort in her own. She looked so beautiful, her cheeks flushed and her blonde hair laying messily over her shoulders. She watched as the girl shifted her hair past her shoulders so it would stay out of the way, bracing herself and looking down at the vampire expectantly.

Smirking, Rose pulled the dress over her shoulders as excitement grew inside of her. She watched as each part of her was exposed, from her shoulders to her upper chest to her breasts that sat erected as if waiting for her. The vampire's lips parted as she viewed the girl, feeling breathless at her beauty.

Lily's face was redder than ever, and she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Only one other person had ever seen her before, and she felt like she had to reach a certain standard since the Queen was a vampire who probably only slept with other vampires before. She wasn't naturally perfect the way all her past lovers probably were.

Rose sensed this, her eyes, whose pupils were greatly dilated, flickering up to the girl's. "You," she began, her voice calm and steady, washing over the girl's nerves like soothing waves, "are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

Lily blushed again, except it wasn't out of nervousness. She smiled softly down at her, still trying to settle into the feeling of being exposed.

The vampire pulled the top of the dress down so that it pooled at the girl's hips where the bottom part of it continued on her thighs. She then placed her hands, which were warm and delicate, at the bottom of the girl's stomach, watching as they slid up the smooth surface and didn't stop until they cupped her breasts. She relished in the way the girl's eyes fluttered closed and her body jerked at the feeling.

She could feel how sensitive they were to her touch, how erect her rosy peaks had been even before she had touched her. She felt lust invade her as she groped the girl's ample breasts, getting high off the feeling of being privy to such a tender part of her body. She had seen many women's bodies before, but this was the body of her mate, of the person who was more natural to her than was breathing. It was different, and it was special.

A puff of breath escaped the girl's lips as she felt the woman fondle her breasts expertly, her eyes squeezing shut as she felt her core begin to grow warm. Her body involuntarily led her to grind her hips against the vampire who laid underneath her, staring up at her in pure awe. The friction of her hipbones against her egged her to grind with a bit more force, her hips swiveling as she bit her lip to stifle a moan.

"God," Rose mumbled, feeling completely overwhelmed with desire. The look of the girl straddling her and grinding, her bottom lip captured between her teeth as she obviously resisted showing the pleasure she was feeling, was driving her absolutely mad. But when she could smell the sweet smell of arousal coming from the girl, her primal instincts began to kick in.

Crying out at the shock, Lily squeezed her eyes shut as the vampire suddenly grabbed her and flipped them over, hovering over her between her legs and looking down at her. When Lily opened her eyes, she softly gasped at the darkness in Rose's, at how they had turned into a molten green, lust basically dripping from them. She breathed through her parted lips, her fangs showing but not invoking fear in the girl.

Leaning back, Rose took the hem of her dress and pulled it down towards her, her breath hitching in her throat as she was exposed to the girl's slender legs that looked delicious. She slipped the dress off the girl's feet and let it fall to the floor, immediately crawling back up.

Lily gasped as her wrists were slammed onto the pillow on either side of her, glancing to see that they were being pinned down by Rose's strong hands, leaving the girl helpless beneath her. She watched as the vampire situated herself between her spread legs, smirking devilishly at their position.

"One thing you should know, little one," she whispered huskily, leaning down and placing her lips right against the girl's ear. "I'm incredibly dominant." She nipped the lobe of the girl's ear, chuckling at the way the girl jumped beneath her. "And I can tell you're incredibly submissive."

Lily's entire face and neck blushed, her panties dampening at the sound of Rose's voice right against her ear.

"Which is funny," she began, pausing to let her tongue slide from the bottom of the girl's neck and up in a slow, hot line that caused the girl to tremble. "Considering you're so stubborn most of the time." She chuckled darkly, the sound making Lily bite her lip. "But it seems you like to submit in bed."

The vampire then began kissing her neck sloppily, her body moving against her exposed one. She then leaned up, causing the girl to be able to breathe properly again. Lily watched as Rose took the hem of her own sweater and lifted it up, pulling the fabric over her head and tossing it onto the floor afterwards.

Lily had seen her shirtless earlier, but she had the chance to actually admire her now. Her shoulders were broad and slender, her collarbone sticking from the tops of them like a design. Her stomach was flat and toned, dipping at her waists to reveal hips that were soon covered by the black slacks she wore. Her black bra held breasts which she knew were probably perfect, but she didn't have the chance to request confirmation of her assumption before she was being pinned down again.

Rose kissed the girl roughly and with passion, her bare upper body rubbing against hers and causing heat to build between them. She slipped her tongue into the girl's mouth as soon as she found the chance, feeling the girl become breathless beneath her as her tongue explored her mouth mercilessly. She became addicted to her taste, to the feeling of being above her, shoving her tongue down her throat, pinning her down, hearing her breathlessly whine as her small body flushed against hers.

The girl moaned as Rose's thick tongue went deeper, and she began to feel a throb between her legs. She lifted her knee and hooked it around the vampire, bucking her hips up in desperate search for more friction.

The vampire could feel herself begin to become antsy for more. She wanted to go at a smooth pace, to be softer and calmer, but she simply couldn't keep control of the lustrous fire inside of her, and apparently neither could Lily. So, removing her mouth from hers, she lowered and planted it onto the girl's breasts.

Lily's mouth flew open at the sensation, and she moaned even more when she felt Rose's hand slip down to her thigh, running down it and up it again to grab her hip.

Rose grunted against her breast as she circled her tongue around it, her hips grinding down between the girl's. She could hear her heartbeat beating so hard and fast beneath her, and it propelled her to suck on her breast with force, grinding down harder between her legs.

The girl moaned loudly, their hips moving against each other in unison. She was so utterly turned on, pulsating with desire. Their bodies were like flames licking against each other violently.

Placing her hands on the girl's waist, Rose trailed her kisses down her stomach, leaving a wet trail leading to the hem of her panties. But she suddenly stopped, leaning up a bit and looking up at the girl. Usually she had always went by body language when deciphering if she had consent or not, but something about Lily made her feel the need to write up a very informative contract and have her sign it twenty times to be sure. But there was no time for that, so, between her ragged breaths, she huskily asked, "May I?"

Her lips twisting into a grin at how cute the vampire looked asking to fuck her, Lily whispered, "You may," and bit her lip, looking down at her seductively.

Rose smirked, her eyes sort of crazed from her lust, and took the hem of the girl's panties and pulled them down her tender thighs, slipping them off her feet and throwing them to the ground.

Lily grew a bit nervous as she watched Rose position herself, bending the girl's knees up and spreading them apart, laying so that she had the perfect angle. She sensed a bit of nervousness and quickly looked up at the blonde who stared at her with fiery red cheeks. "Relax," she gently commanded, sliding her hands to the girl's thighs and gently kissing the inside of one.

The girl relaxed a bit, feeling a tingle where the vampire planted the kiss. She bit her lip and watched as the woman planted another kiss down her thigh, and another one, leading a trail that led dangerously close to her heat.

Gasping, Lily's mouth fell open when she felt a pair of soft lips push against her clit and then open, forming a suction around it that incited glorious pleasure throughout her. "Rose," she moaned, her hands finding the sheets and grabbing fistfuls of them.

The vampire grabbed the girl's hips harshly, a bit too harshly, grunting as she began to eat her out furiously. She lapped at her clit with her wide tongue, moaning herself when she heard the girl's own moans become higher in pitch. She circled her clit, getting drunk off the taste of her wetness. She lost herself in her moist folds, feeling euphorically inebriated by her mere taste. Her hands, not realizing their strength, grabbed the girl's hips even rougher, causing the girl to squeak and twitch in response. But the vampire was much too distracted to notice.

When Lily felt a hot, thick tongue reach her entrance and then slowly slide inside her, she threw her head back and let out her loudest moan yet. The vampire's long tongue slid so deep inside her, curling and immediately hitting her most sensitive spot. She pulled it back out before slipping it inside her again, repeating this over and over and picking up speed.

Lily bucked her hips up to meet the woman's mouth, her back arching and falling back against the bed as her pleasure began to build up inside her. She gripped the sheets furiously, her legs shaking from the force with which the vampire was devouring her.

Just when she didn't think it was possible for her to feel any more pleasure, Rose slipped her tongue out of her and replaced it with two longer fingers, not hesitating to thrust them so deep inside the girl without warning that she cried out and jolted from the shock. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as Rose began to suck on her clit as she pumped her fingers in and out of her, curling every time they reached their deepest point.

The pressure began to build and grow even weightier, her back arching as she felt tingles run up her spine in hindsight of something climactic. Her legs trembled as Rose only thrust inside of her harder and sucked on her clit more furiously, sensing that the girl was coming close.

Then, in five consecutive strokes, Rose hit her g-spot over and over until the orgasm that had been nestling inside of her finally came to fruition, the girl's entire body lifting off the bed and her hands gripping the black sheets until her knuckles turned white. It was blinding and exhilarating, washing over her and making her walls clench around the vampire's fingers, her moans growing louder the more the climax lifted her up.

Then her body fell against the bed limply, her wet core throbbing as her heartbeat paced rapidly in her chest. She breathed heavily, feeling her body wind down from its climax.

But Rose was not satisfied. Keeping her fingers inside the girl, she leaned up and connected her lips to hers, forcing her to taste herself as she slid her tongue into her mouth. The girl, a bit disoriented from her orgasm, tried to kiss back, but cried out in shock when she felt the vampire slip another finger inside her.

She winced as she felt herself stretch, and she nearly told her to stop because of the pain, but she bit her lip and suffered through it. She was also incredibly sensitive from her first orgasm, but she held onto the vampire's arm weakly and let her continue fucking her as she pleased.

Sensing the pain she felt as she pressed sloppy kisses against the girl's neck, Rose made sure to go slow, gently fondling the girl's breast and pumping her three fingers slowly. Then she felt the girl relax more, her painful whines turning into pleasured moans, her eyes fluttering closed.

The woman began to thrust her fingers harder, the extra width bringing more pleasure to Lily than she thought was possible. Rose then pushed her knee up behind her hand to add more force, using her entire body to shove her fingers in and out of the girl as forcefully as possible, curling each time and melting at the sound of the girl moaning in response.

Rose needed more. As she hovered over the girl, thrusting inside her mercilessly and seeing the way her entire body moved from her force, she still needed something more. So, in a swift action, she clamped her hand around the girl's neck, applying pressure but being sure she could still breathe.

Lily gasped, her mouth falling open at the feeling.

"Look at me," Rose growled, causing the girl's baby blue eyes to snap open and meet hers, although it was a struggle because of how hard she was fucking her. But she held the eye contact, her small hand resting on Rose's hand that caged her neck in its grip.

As Rose thrust in and out of her, sensing that her second orgasm was on the horizon, she wanted nothing more than to be able to do that forever—to be with her, to be the one inside her, to be the one pleasing her.

The possessiveness that comes upon finding one's mate began to kick in, evoking her to lean down against the girl's neck and growl a rather vicious, "You're mine," right into her ear, her tone leaving no room for arguments.

Lily would never argue with that, anyway, for in that moment, as she was totally and completely yielding to the woman above her, obedient to her hand around her throat, permissive to her fingers delving inside of her. Therefore, she mumbled a strangled, "I know," before her second orgasm crashed upon her, even more powerful than the first.

Rose watched in satisfaction, her eyes tainted with possession as she watched the girl tremble beneath her, her soft moans filling her eardrums and causing her to feel complacent with herself. Her small hands grabbed at her shoulders, her nails scratching at her bare back desperately, until finally her body fell limp, relaxing against the bed.

The vampire kept watching the girl's chest slowly rise and fall, kept listening to her heartbeat gradually slow down, kept feeling an overwhelming sense of
