McKenzie, Cooper - Saving Chloe (Siren Publishing Classic) (3 page)

“Sit on the porch and talk with me if ye’ve the time. I don’t want to take ye from yer work.”

Jasmine smiled when she realized he sounded hesitant. “I’d like that. And you’re not taking me from work. I just finished up what I’d wanted to get done tonight.”

Sliding her keys in the pocket of her skirt, she closed the door and joined him on the porch. “Sorry I don’t have proper furniture for out here yet,” she said as they settled side by side on the porch steps. “Finances are tight, and decorating the porch is far down on the priority list.”

“I like this, sitting so’s I can touch ye and pull ye close,” Declan said as he matched actions to words, taking her hand in his.

Though his cock was already hard and demanding satisfaction, he wanted to give his mate some time to get used to him. Taking a deep breath, he asked about her day and then moved on to her editing job. He held back information on himself, focusing on her and encouraging her to talk because just then, he wasn’t sure he had enough blood left in his brain to share anything of himself without giving away his biggest secret.

Once the present had been talked out, he began asking questions about her past and her childhood, wanting to know everything there was about this woman. He shared bits of himself as well, but in only the broadest, vaguest terms.

Wrapping one arm around Chloe’s shoulders, he pulled her as close as he could. He then turned his head and leaned close to kiss her. “I’ve been thinking about doing this again ever since I left ye last night,” he whispered against her lips.

With that, he closed the last fraction of an inch between them and kissed her. He put every bit of hungry emotion he could into the kiss as his tongue traced her lips then explored her teeth and dueled with her tongue.

His arousal ignited like dry brush under a lightning strike, flaming and spreading out of control in seconds. Though he had planned to sit and talk, share secrets, and all the other things people did early in their courtship to get to know one another, all he could think about was claiming his mate.

Without breaking the kiss, he lifted her and moved her so she straddled his lap. His cock jerked and throbbed as she pressed against it. He held her tighter as the kiss grew hotter and deeper. His need and hers flashed into a firestorm, and the only thing he could think of was taking his woman to paradise. Finally, he had to break the kiss in order to try and think clearly. Chloe made an unhappy sound as he lifted his head.

“More, Declan,” Chloe murmured.

Looking around, Declan wasn’t sure how they were going to manage to ease the gnawing, ravaging need that was ready to consume them both without someone getting hurt. He looked to his house, but it was too far away. Her front door was only a few yards, but even that looked too far when his cock was throbbing and threatening to explode at any second just by kissing his mate.

“Mmmm, need you so much,” she said as she rubbed her hands up and down his sides.

He wasn’t surprised when her fingers tracked along the top of his waistband between their bodies and began to work the button there. As she worked, he slid his hands down the outsides of her thighs and began to inch her skirt up. When he reached bare skin, his hands traveled back up her legs until he reached side strings of what had to be a pair of barely there panties. He never had been able to understand why women wore what amounted to several strings and called them panties.

“From now on, no more of these,” he growled in her ear as he tore the scrap from her body then tossed it to the ground behind him. “I want me woman ta be available any time I want ta play.”

She moaned in response, but he could not tell if it was in agreement or not. He didn’t give a shit one way or another. If need be, he would tear the damn things off of her every day. The heat and dampness he felt between her legs only increased the need he felt for her.

He sucked a breath and lost his concentration when she shoved his shorts and boxers out of her way. As she did, she was careful to free his cock from the material. Before they hit his ankles, Declan knew they were going to have sex right there and then. It was just a matter of how exposed they would be to the rest of the world.

“Hang on, darlin’,” he ordered as one of her hands wrapped around the back of his cock.

Sliding his hands under her ass cheeks, he lifted her, and then turned around and carefully backed up the steps until he could sit down on the top one with Chloe straddling his lap. Thankfully, her knee-length skirt was full enough to hide their bits and pieces from the street. People driving by would not be the wiser, if they noticed them at all.

A quick pull to the front of her skirt moved it out from between them. He felt the hair covering her precious mound brush against his cock. His breathing stopped as she arched her hips forward and began to rid up and down the length of his cock. His hands traveled down between her thighs and found her pussy wide open and dripping with her juice. He slid two fingers deep into her channel. She made a high-pitched sound as her clit rode the underside of his cock and his fingers slid in and out of her.

“Take me, Declan. Please,” she moaned softly, just before she took his ear into her mouth and began to suck on it. “Make me yours.”

“Yer wish is my command,” he returned as he lifted her with one hand while taking control of his cock with the other.

Like a guided missile, the head of his cock unerringly found the entrance to her channel and pushed forward. While she would have slammed down on him in a second, Declan held her hips and eased her down slowly. He was not small in the manhood department, and for the first time in his six and one-third centuries, he refused to take his pleasure at a woman’s expense. Thankfully, her pussy overflowed with her slick juices, easing his passage.

Once he was fully sheathed inside her, he held her hips still while she adjusted to his size, giving him a moment to grab tighter control of the orgasm that threatened to explode with his next heartbeat. He wanted, no needed, Chloe to find her pleasure first.

“Open yer shirt, darlin’. I want ta see those beautiful tits ye’ve got hidden away,” he demanded through gritted teeth.

* * * *

As soon as the head of Declan’s cock entered her, a sense of peace wrapped around Chloe. She sighed with a soul-deep contentment once she was settled fully down over him. He was long and thick and filled her to just this side of pain. It felt so good.

When he ordered her to bare her breasts, she hesitated only a moment before reaching for the buttons of her blouse. As she worked the buttons to her waistband free, and then unhooked the front clasp of her bra, she tried not to move the rest of her body, though it was the biggest challenge of her life.

Once she’d shoved the cups of her bra out of the way, she arched her back to raise her tits. “What do you think?”

“Beautiful,” he said before dropping his head forward to lick at one nipple, and then the other, “and yummy.”

At that, Declan took one erect nipple into his mouth and began to suck and nip and lick. Pulsations of heat and electricity shot from where he touched straight into her. Unable to hold still any longer, Chloe planted her hands on his shoulders and began to slide up and down.

She kissed the top of his head and began to move on him faster when he turned his attention to the other breast and gave it the same loving. She sighed when he released that nipple and looked up at her with eyes flashing sexual fire.

“Push your breasts together. I want to suck both nipples at once,” he ordered, his voice low and seductive. His large hands that had been roaming up and down her thighs slid back and under her ass to take over control of her ride.

Chloe made a sound as she released his shoulders and moved her hands to press her tits toward each other. She gasped when Declan opened his mouth and sucked both nipples deep inside. He batted at them with his tongue as he sucked even more of each mound into his mouth. When he bit them, she felt a sharp stabbing into the skin just above each nipple. Then he began to suckle hard, pulling blood from her body as well as the skin of her breasts. The pain, added to the pleasure of his cock pistoning in and out of her, sent her over the top.

Her entire body tightened just before exploding into a white light that filled her from the inside out. She dropped her head so her open mouth was pressed against his shoulder, to keep from waking the neighborhood with her screams of completion.

The muscles of her pussy clenched and rippled as Declan moved her hips even faster up and down his shaft. As her orgasm rolled through her, she felt him thicken even more. He pulled her down one last time then cried his own release around the breasts still filling his mouth.

He gently pulled his teeth from her skin and licked at each spot before kissing each nipple then lifting his head and kissing her lips. “God, that was incredible,” he breathed as his arms came out from under her skirt to wrap around her back and hold her securely against his chest.

“Mmmm,” she managed as she melted against him.

He turned his head, and they kissed. Soft, gentle kisses soothed even as they began to arouse her again. Though she felt his cock soften slightly inside her, she hoped she wouldn’t have to move for about a day and a half. All at once, she didn’t want to be separated from him even by the few layers of clothes they wore.

“Chloe! What the hell are you doing?”

Chapter 4

Declan looked over Chloe’s shoulder at the skinny blonde woman strutting her way across the neighbor’s lawn toward them. She looked like one of those Barbie dolls little girls loved to play with. She looked pissed and curious.

This must be Jasmine, one of the humans sucking his woman dry in the name of friendship.

He was glad she had waited until after he’d established the bond between them before showing up. He did not know if his marking Chloe’s breasts would keep these energy-sucking humans from harming his mate, but any other vampires in New Bern would now know that she was off-limits. She now carried his mark and his scent as a part of her being.

“Chloe?” she called again, this time sounding worried.

His mate took a deep breath and went rigid as she seemed to realize there was no way the other woman wouldn’t figure out what they’d just done. Was she preparing herself for something bad?

“What do ye want?” he asked, his voice cold and uninviting.

As he glared at the intruder, he rubbed a hand up and down Chloe’s spine to comfort her. She did not relax, but she didn’t pull away, either. Was she embarrassed at being caught? Or being caught with him?

Jasmine ignored him. “Chloe, what are you doing out here? By the way you spoke earlier, I figured you’d be asleep by now, but I’m glad you’re not. I wondered if I could snag a soda on my way home. I can’t believe you’re making out in the front yard where anyone can see you.” The woman continued running her mouth, not embarrassed or even caring that she had walked into and ruined a clearly intimate moment.

Chloe shifted in his arms, but he held her secure and still. No need to go flashing their bits and pieces to the human vampires. If she moved too much, she would either hurt him or he would be flashing his family jewels or her breasts, neither of which was appealing to him. As he held his woman, he could feel the sucking pull from the blonde woman and her demand for whatever Chloe would give her.

Feeling Chloe grow even more tense, Declan decided to make his stand right here and now. If he didn’t throw up some barriers, the human vampires would win. And that could not be allowed to happen.

They did not care about Chloe, her plans and dreams, or the fact that she worked two jobs to make ends meet. All they cared about was themselves and what she could give them in support of their having a good time. He made a silent vow that he would protect her from them. He would begin to cut away the sticky spiderweb they had wrapped around her as they sucked at her, draining her of everything she held dear.

“Away with ye, woman. Can’t ye see we’re busy?”

His growled words didn’t seem to make an impression on Jasmine. He didn’t know whether to be annoyed or amused when she stopped about ten feet away and planted her feet shoulder-width apart. Amusement won out when she canted her hips to the right and crossed her arms over her chest. That pushed her abundant, probably artificial breasts into even more prominence.

“Excuuuuuuse me?”

The woman’s face went ice cold, and she narrowed her eyes as she stared into his. One foot began to tap steadily in the grass. He had to bite the inside of his cheek when her head swiveled once on her neck in what had to be an often-used move.
