Ester felt herself blush at the compliment, and her heart leaped. Hearing Damon say he thought she'd done well gave her a new sense of confidence.
Maybe it was just the sex, but she felt like a new life was opening up for her. There was no doubt in her mind that this was the path to eternal happiness.
Somehow, in a way she couldn't explain, she knew that sex with Damon would never be the same again.
It was because she'd connected with him in a way she never had before, or it was because he wanted her as much as she wanted him.
Whatever it was, she was ready to begin exploring the path of pleasure.
Damon stood and reached for her, pulling her to her knees. His eyes locked with hers with a malicious intensity.
He grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, exposing her neck. Then he leaned toward her, brushing his lips over her sensitive skin.
Their warm breaths mingled as he kissed his way down from her chin to her chest.
