It was like trying to meditate in the middle of sex; no wonder I wasn't better at it.
Asher drew back from my neck, breathing hard. «You took a great deal.» He sounded shaky, and his bite didn't necessarily cause him pleasure, so that wasn't it.
«Sorry,» I mumbled.
He let go of me, and I slumped forward onto all fours, head down. «God, Asher, God.»
The couch moved as he shifted position, and the next thing I felt was his hands on my hips, pulling my skirt up. He pressed the tip of himself against me, and there was nothing soft about him now. He was hard, and ready, pushing against me.
«Do you still want me to pierce you twice?»
I should have said no. I'd missed so much of the evening. But I didn't want to say no. I wanted to say yes. I tried not to think about Asher much. One, it could cause mini-orgasms at odd moments. One of the side effects of his powers. Two, because I understood why people had been willing to trade everything away just for one more night of the pleasure that only Asher could bring. The rest of the metaphysical sex was great, but it was the affection I had for the people involved that made me want to be with most of them. Emergency food being the exception. I loved Asher, but it wasn't love that made me want to be with him. If I had been less stubborn, I might have chased after him simply for the pleasure. I stayed away from him when I could, because no one could quite do what he could, and it scared me.
Which is why I said, «Just fuck me.»
«You do not wish me to bring you pleasure with my bite again?»
«Yes, but… we don't have time.»
«As you wish.» He used his hands to position my hips, and he began to push his way inside me. I was wet, but tight; my body spasmed around him, as he fought to be inside me.
His voice came strained, «So tight tonight, so tight. Forcing me to fight for every inch. I love it.»
I just nodded, not trusting my voice. I should have said no to the sex. We'd fed. Jean-Claude needed us to schmooze the crowd. But I didn't want to say no. I could have lied to myself and thought that Asher needed this, this time just the two of us, but that wasn't why I said yes. I said yes because I wanted him inside me. I said yes because I was fighting myself not to beg for another bite. I did want him to pierce me twice. I did want it. I did.
He had himself inside me, as close as his body would let him. He rested a moment with our bodies wedded to each other. He laid his body across my back, letting me support our weight for a moment.
