It had been a very err.. productive night? Lia lay against Asher spent, she couldn't move a muscle, he had made sure of it.

How many times did they go at it? Forty? Forty-nine times? She couldn't exactly tell.Sadly, no matter how strong and capable she was, Lia still couldn't match Asher's stamina; the vampire's a monster.

They were both naked under the sheet and she had never been happier than now - while pushing the thought of her mom finding out about them to the back of her mind.

"Why are you not asleep?" Asher asked her, putting his hand into work by continuously stroking her hair without tiring.

After her boobs, Asher's favorite place on her body was her hair; he just liked feeling his hand through it.

"What about you?" Lia asked back," Why are you not asleep"

"Dumb head, I'm a vampire I don't sleep unless you're willing to incapacitate me" He chided her playfully.

"I'm curious about something though," She inquired, looking up at him with her chin resting on his chest

"What is it? "

Her hand moved beneath the sheet, traveling and searching down until it enclosed around his erection which throbbed to a remarkable length.

Asher released a sharp breath," Don't bite more than you can chew, Lia "

She pulled her hand away but unknown to her, put her mate in a dilemma, Asher now wanted her hand back on him; it seems the latter was better.

"I thought you're an undead creature, why is that thing still pulsating with life?"

He frowned, "I find the use of "thing " offensive, call it another name "

"No way " Lia blushed, trying to get away from him but he didn't let her move an inch.

"That's your punishment,"

Lia cried mentally, this was bullying. How did she get a mate like this? He was so strict.

Knowing he won't let her go until she did as he commanded, Lia started

"Manhood?" She cringed calling that one.

"Old-fashioned, try again " he refused.

"Member?"

Asher gave her the look, "Member of what? Member of Little Town? Member of my clan? I don't understand"

Her vampire mate pretended not to know what she meant.She had a feeling he was doing this on purpose, making things difficult for her.

" Prick?"

Asher chuckled," Funny " his tone and expression changed into a serious one, "But no "

There was one word left in her mind but it was so embarrassing, there was no way on earth she was going to call that out.

"Fine, let me drop some hints to jumpstart your brain" He pulled her closer against his chest and bent his head, whispering into her ears, "Think of something naughtier yet sexy, your time starts now "

Her heart began it's drumming, she was nervous and Asher knew that, he had a smug look.

"Before the count of three; one…..two ..."

" C-co-cc "

She found it hard to pronounce but Asher didn't care.

"Two ….thre- "

"Cock! " She said it more forcefully than intended.

He smiled and smoothed her hair, "That's my girl "

Lia bit down on her lips aggrieved, if only he wasn't her mate, she would have beaten the hell out of him; but she couldn't afford to damage that handsome face.

"Next"

"Next?!" Lia yelled from shock, "There is another one, isn't my punishment over? "

Asher reminded her in a mocking tone," Plus five, ring a bell ?"

Lia swallowed, her mate was indeed prepared for her tonight, what had she gotten herself into?

"Fine, what do you want me to do?"

"Rephrase your question with the cock this time "

A blush stained her cheeks.

"Why are you suddenly shy? When you touched me there earlier, you were bold" He goaded her.

"Ithoughtyou'reanundeadcreaturewhy isyourcockstillpulsatingwithlife?" The agitated mate rushed the sentence in one breath.

Asher laughed at her, she was so cute with her angry and flushed look.

"What's so funny?" She hit him on the chest but it didn't affect him at all.

"Fine, the answer to your question"

Lia calmed down for the long-awaited answer.

"I have no clue "

"What?"

"You heard me right. If you're that curious, go and seek the moon goddess"

Lia felt like she was drenched with cold water, she had done all those things for a question that had no answer and Asher knew that; he made a fool of her.

"You old fox!" She charged at him but her mate had foreseen her attack.

Asher grabbed both of her hands and forced her to her back, lying on top of her - she couldn't move beneath him.

He cocked a brow at her, "Should we continue where we stopped?"

"Wait"

He stopped, confused.

"Do vampires get pregnant?"

Asher was dumbfounded, was that important to her this moment?

"How do you think I came about?" He deadpanned but continued nevertheless, "Pureblood vampiress give birth but converted don't "

He saw the horror on her face, was she worried about a child? They haven't even mated yet. Asher was amused, his mate was behaving like someone who purchased a bed without a house yet.

"So you're trying to say I won't have a child?" She questioned, just as he expected.

"You're a hybrid Lia, I can't really tell. But all I can assure you is that if you end up choosing me- child or not - I'll love you for eternity "

Lia was stunned, she blinked to confirm she wasn't dreaming- It was so touching.

"Really?"

"Without a doubt "

She pulled his head down and kissed him, "Thank you" But Asher was more interested in the kissing than the compliment.

Lia rolled him over but he didn't budge which made her pull away from him with a questioning look.

"You've been in control recently, I want you in submission tonight," Asher told her in a straightforward manner leaving her with no choice but to give in as he dove down for the prize.

Lia gasped when he took her breast in his mouth, licking and grazing those buds till it was erect.

"My God" she moaned as her mate stimulated her breast with his mouth while his hand fondled the other.

Lia didn't know what to think - no, she couldn't think, the pleasure was clouding her brain.

Her hand gripped his hair tight, she didn't know whether to push him away or just pull him closer.

Asher swallowed her whimpers as soon as he left that part while his hand trailed downward causing her to shiver.

"Look at me " He commanded her.

His gaze burned into hers while Lia tried her best not to close her eyes from passion.

"Don't take your eyes from me"

She stared at his beautiful face, his penetrating orbs holding her spellbound just as he caressed the skin of her inner thigh.

Her pulse raced, Lia wanted to just close her eyes and savor this feeling but for some reason, she couldn't.

"Just follow my voice" His deep sultry voice guided her.

His mate moaned, arching her back when his finger found her.

"Asher " She cried out when his fingertip traced up and down her labia, her nails scraping along his back.

"Do you love me?" He asked while working her.

Her head swam and all she just wanted to do was throw her head back as the pleasure course through her but she couldn't, her eyes were fixed on her mate.

"I-I don't know - "

Asher stroked her faster, he was unsatisfied with her answer.

"Yes...yes, I do ….I love you, Asher" Lia had no choice but to agree, her hips bucking as the sensation from her body overwhelmed her.

He didn't give her time to catch her breath and used his fingers to stroke, twirl, tease, torture her until the pleasure built and she came with a loud cry.

Asher broke his spell on her and kissed her deeper and much longer till she almost passed out from suffocation.

Lia couldn't believe it, what just happened? It was so crazy - deliciously crazy.

"And I love you too" She heard him say, his teeth skimming along her neck while her heart hammered against her chest.

They both confessed to each other? God, this was crazy.

"Go to bed, you have a field trip tomorrow-you have barely three hours for sleep," He said to her, gathering her naked body into his arms, spooning her.

"Whose fault is that?" Lia pouted, though Asher couldn't see it since she had her back to him.

"One more word and I'll continue from where we stopped" Came his warning which she didn't take for granted, her mate hardly joke with his words.

And so, Lia slept without complaining, forgetting she had left a dummy in her place.

Her alarm woke her up.

With drowsy eyes she lifted her phone to her face only to discover it was six in the morning.

Lia's scream tore through the room.

"Why didn't you wake me up?!" She flung her mate's arm which was around her waist away and hurried to her feet.

"I love seeing the panic on your face, you look cute " He commented, receiving a heated glare in return.

Shit, Lia cursed. Her mom could be in her room any minute - If she wasn't already.

"Nice ass by the way, " remarked Asher who was lounging on the bed- chin in his palm- watching her in all her naked glory as she searched for her scattered clothes.

Lia ignored him, there was no time to quibble with that naughty vampire; her future was at stake here.

"Where's Dan?!" She asked after dressing up.

"He's down-"

She didn't wait for the rest of his words and zoomed downstairs, coincidentally bumping into the said person.

"Quick, send me home else I'll be grounded for life - "

Lia was still talking when she felt her environment blur and changed. She blinked twice, what the f*ck.

She was home - specifically, in her room.

How did that happen even happen, Dan didn't even touch her?

The door snapped open.

"What are you standing there for?! Hurry up!"

"Yes, mom! "

Whoah, that was close.
