Guest Blogger ~ Virna DePaul!

I’m thrilled to be here at Everything Erotic.  Today I’d like you to introduce you to an incredibly erotic hero—not only is Jake Rios an alpha cop (love those!) but he’s also a vampire who has finally met his one true mate.  As I’m sure you can guess, he’s not about to let anyone or anything—and that includes extremist vampires or even her own fears—keep them apart.  

I hope you enjoy the blurb and excerpt from A Vampire’s Salavation below.  If you’d like to comment, I’ll be giving away a basket of goodies, including chocolate, my e-book, This Magic Moment, and a mug from my first Para-Ops novel, Chosen By Blood, which releases on May 3, 2011, by Berkley Books.  (The hero in that story is another sexy vampire!)

Blurb:

Jacob La Costa Rios is the head of the California governor’s security team; he’s also a vampire who wants the governor, a presidential hopeful, to support the peaceful integration of vampires into human society. Unfortunately, there are others who oppose Jake’s plan. Plus, Jake’s a little distracted by discovering his one true mate, the human female who can give him everything he’s always wanted: love, children, and continuing immortality.

Francesca Marie Stewart is the governor’s “go-green” political consultant. Although she’s been attracted to Jake from day one, her priority is her career and protecting her heart. But then Jake blatantly propositions her and Frankie, who hasn’t experienced sexual intimacy since she was seventeen-years-old, decides it’s time to take what she wants—within reason.

No matter—once Jake makes love to Frankie, he knows reason will be the farthest thing from her mind. Then he just has to eliminate the person threatening her, reveal the fact he’s a vampire, and convince her that trusting him will bring both of them eternal happiness.

Excerpt:

There’s a new vamp in town…

Tucking Frankie closer with one arm, Jake shifted and pushed her front door shut. He engaged the lock with an audible click, never once looking away from her.

She jerked in surprise. She hadn’t even noticed it was still open. Hadn’t given a thought to the fact that once again, anyone could have seen them… Heard them… Her breath hitched and her heartbeat accelerated as she pictured what they musthave looked like, him eating at her mouth and her practically begging him for more. If they’d started stripping each other’s clothes off like she’d wanted to, someone would have gotten quite an eyeful.

For a moment, she closed her eyes and pictured it—the two of them kneeling onthe couch, their bodies gliding against one another as their hands rubbed and squeezed and probed. She’d be pinned helplessly beneath him as he fed her his cock, forcing her to accept every inch, urging her to come despite the fact another person looked on, seeing every flicker of pleasure crossing her face…

The wetness of her arousal intensified. Gasping, she opened her eyes, forcing the fantasy away. She was with Jake. Here. Now. That was the biggest fantasy come true, and it wasn’t going to last long. She needed to relish him while she could.

Jake looked at her with a considering eye. “Go somewhere?” he asked mildly.

She shook her had. “Just bracing myself.”

He quirked a brow. “Dread?” he teased.

She marveled that the serious, all-about-business man she’d worked with for six

months suddenly had no qualms about showing his lighter side.

She snorted. “Relief. I’ve been wanting you for so long, I was beginning to wonder if this would ever happen.”

Expression darkening, he hiked her higher in his arms. “Oh, it’s happening, all right.”

“You know what they say. All talk…”

He swooped in, once more covering her mouth with his and effectively stifling her taunt as he walked toward her bedroom with unerring accuracy. Three seconds later, he’d lowered her onto her full-size mattress and pulled back, hands on his hips. “Small,” he commented, eyeing the neatly made bed.

Shifting toward him, she cupped his dick through his pants. “Big,” she said, her tone almost reverent.

He clenched his teeth and ripped off his suit jacket. Then his tie. Then his shirt.

Not once did she break contact with the treasure she touched. Bare-chested, he once again put his hands on his hips, braced his feet apart, threw back his head, and closed his eyes. Scrambling to her knees, she took his cue and tugged his belt loose, then fumbled with the button and zipper of his trousers. The material parted to reveal black briefs tented with an imposing length of eager male flesh.

“Huge,” she amended, unable to keep a hint of trepidation from her voice. Nonetheless, she gamely dipped her hand into his briefs and found him, bare skin to bare skin. He was blazing hot, the tip of him slightly damp, velvet covering steel. With a firm grip, she began a slow milking motion.

He hissed. Groaned. Opened his eyes to look at her with heavy-lidded eyes. “Just the right size,” he gritted out. “Exactly what you need.”

She nearly whimpered at the assurance in his voice. Although she didn’t want to look away from his face, her gaze was drawn inexorably to the treat she held. Wanting a better look, she used her free had to tug his pants and briefs down, pulling until they caught on his upper thighs. His cock was thick and long, spearing out from a soft-looking thatch of dark hair like a commanding warrior, eager to ride to battle.

“I don’t know…” she whispered, unsure for a moment what she meant. Would he truly be able to fit inside her without hurting her? It had been so long, and the last time she’d had sex it hadn’t been pleasant. What if her first taste of real sexual intimacy made her long for more? Who would give it to her once Jake had moved on? Perhaps she was rushing things. Maybe they should go out after all…

She moaned when she felt him nip at her ear then lave the small sting. “I’m going to make you feel so good, Frankie. I promise. Trust me. Give yourself to me.” Trembling, she tilted her head to the side, giving him better access so that he kissed his way down the column of her throat. To her shock, he captured the curve of her neck between his teeth and held her, much like a stallion would when mounting a mare.

Her hand drifted away from him, but he quickly grasped her wrist and led her back. Wrapping his fingers around hers, he squeezed with almost brutal pressure, guiding her into a rhythm he liked. And still he bit her, the dominant act ridding her of her momentary hesitation.

She moved slightly, restlessly, wanting him to suck or bite her harder. Instead, he pinched both her nipples and tugged. Tingles of heat arrowed into her pussy then spread outward to concentrate in her clitoris. She mewled and shifted her hips closer to his, seeking ease.

Lowering his hand, he cupped her. A surge of pleasure blasted through her, making her buck. Together, they groaned and she realized ease wasn’t something she’d find with him.

His every touch cranked her arousal higher and higher, making her want more.

“Please,” she gasped.

Finally, he released her neck and lifted his head. With one hand, he pulled at her nipple again. With the other, he rubbed at the pearl hidden underneath her dress, teasing it with firm, then barely-there strokes.

“Say it, Francesca. Tell me you want me. Inside you.”

“I want you inside me,” she said dutifully.

“Say ‘fuck me.’”

Automatically, she shook her head. She didn’t use words like that, not out loud. She had to remember who she was. Who he was. A co-worker. A strong, dominant male. One she’d allow herself to enjoy for a time but never rely on. She needed to keep some measure of control.

“Say it,” he commanded, his voice hardening even as his fingers slowed, implicitly threatening to stop altogether.

“F—fuck me,” she cried in panic.

“Say ‘Come inside my body. Pleasure me. Love me.’”

This time, she was the one who tried to pull away. Anger threatened to overshadow her desire. What kind of game was he playing?

He gripped her chin and forced her to look into his eye. “Say it, Francesca. Please. I want to hear you say the words—I need to hear you say them—and then I promise, I’ll give you everything you want. Everything you need.”

“I told you,” she forced out. “This isn’t about love. It’s about sex. If you want more—”

“I heard what you said. And this isn’t just about sex. This is about amazing sex. About me making you come so hard, so many times, you’re going to think you’re dying from the pleasure. Now just say the words, Frankie. Give them to me. Now.”

His voice was like a warm slide of honey. An erotic temptation soaking into her skin. Into her very soul. Her pussy throbbed and so did the area at her throat where he’d gripped her with his teeth. She wanted to feel him in both places again. At the same time. To experience the intrusion of his cock inside her while his teeth locked on her throat, maybe even pierced her skin…

For a brief moment, the thought seemed odd to her, but she pushed it away.

Say the words, Frankie, she urged herself. They’re just words. Say them and take

what he’s offering.

Rising on her tiptoes, she cupped the back of his neck and pulled him down so she could whisper into her ear. “Come inside my body,” she said, then flicked his lobe with her tongue.

He groaned.

“Pleasure me.” She nipped at his lobe, gasping when he yanked her tighter against his body and ground his erection into her stomach. “L—Love me.”

Love me forever, she thought.
