PS03 - Tall, Dark & Heartless (29 page)

throat. He was going to thoroughly mark her so that even a fucking human male could tell from a hundred yards away that she

was his. He would kill any male that so much as-

"This means that you can't blame this on the drugs later," Danni said, in an oddly strained tone.

No, he wouldn't be blaming the drugs in his system for this. The blame for this belonged with their unfortunate mating. She

was his mate and the need to mark her as his own was too strong for him to pull back and think this through rationally. If he'd

been able to think with his head instead of his dick he would have taken her as far away from here as he could, but instead he

hadn't been able to keep his hands off of her. The drugs may have worn off, but it didn't lessen his need for her.

"It doesn't matter," he said as he pressed a kiss against her clit, slowly sliding his finger in and out of her wet sheath,

preparing her for him as he looked up and met her eyes. His tongue and finger stilled as he met the fiery red eyes of a Pyte in

the throes of bloodlust.

Aw, shit
..........

Perhaps he should have made sure that she fed from one of the vampires on their way out, he mused as he suddenly found

himself shoved back by one of her small feet. Danni growled a soft warning as she slowly sat up and got into a crouching

position on the large boulder, never taking her eyes away from him, her prey.

"You need to calm down," he said, feeling like an idiot and damn well knowing that she was beyond calming down right

now. Danni was no longer in charge, bloodlust was. She was there, but she was too dazed to take control. Primal need had

taken over and rationalizing with her was just a waste of time so he wasn't even going to bother trying.

Well, this was going to be a new experience for him, he thought dryly as she prepared to launch herself at him. He'd never

been on this side of bloodlust before and as she made her move he made a mental note to make sure to never let this happen

again.

The air rushed out of his lungs as he was slammed flat on his back with an out of control, yet sexy, Pyte on top of him. He

made no moves to shove her off of him or to try and get away since it would only make this worse. The scent of his adrenaline

would put her into kill mode and he'd rather not be forced to hurt her.

When she gripped his hair and forced his head to the side it took every last ounce of will power to let it happen. He didn't

like being pushed around and he sure as hell didn't like being made into someone's bitch. Unfortunately, he had to take it and

hope that Danni didn't force him to hurt her.

"Holy shit!" he roared when she struck without warning.

Instinctively he reached up and grabbed her hips, ready to throw her off of him, but the first pull at his neck had him

rolling his head to the side and giving her more access to his neck. She made little mewling sounds as she drank from him and

he swore then and there that whenever he went to check on her in the future she would only be allowed to drink from him. She

could drink the bagged blood shit when he wasn't around.

She moaned against his skin as her hold on his hair lessened until she was absently running her fingers through his hair

almost in a petting motion. This felt fucking fantastic, he thought as his eyes burned and his fangs slid down, more than ready to

play. He felt the tip of his cock work its way out of the waist of his boxers the same time the scent of her arousal hit him hard.

They both needed relief and if he didn't get it soon he was going to lose control. While one hand moved to cup her bare

ass, he reached between them and released his cock. Grabbing the base, he moved his cock until the head was pressed against

her wet slit.

When she moaned he damn near wept with relief. She was coming to and not a moment too soon, because no matter how

hard she made him he would never take her without her permission. He'd done a lot of fucked up things in his long life, but he'd

never forced a woman and he sure as hell wasn't about to start with his mate.

"C-Caine?" she said, sounding uncertain as she slowly pulled away from his neck. She'd taken a lot of blood from him, but

thankfully nothing a little time wouldn't fix.

"Shhh, it's alright, sweetheart. You just went a little too long without blood," he said soothingly as he used his cock to

tease her slit with his piercing, something he knew she liked and if he was going to be honest with himself, something he

fucking loved.

In the past, he'd had women who were turned off by his piercing and some who screamed in pleasure the second he slid

inside of them, but none of them had ever managed to turn him on with it. To him it was just a reminder to think with his brain

instead of his dick, but with Danni he couldn't help but love the way her nipples hardened and her pussy clenched with just the

barest contact from it. He wondered how wet she'd get when she felt the cool metal piercing rub inside of her as he fucked her

and he was damn well going to fuck her.

"What just happened?" she asked, sounding afraid and damn near breaking his heart.

His Danni wasn't afraid, brave, but never afraid and he hated seeing her like this. She looked so close to crying and he

knew that would bother her more than being afraid.

"Just a little bloodlust, Danni, but it's over now," he said, dragging the tip of his cock down her slit and giving her the

distraction that she needed.

She tried to keep her eyes on him even as she licked her lips hungrily and shifted her hips to force his piercing to rub her

just where she needed it. Her eyes fluttered shut in pleasure, but she forced them to open as she supported herself on one arm

as she cupped his cheek with the other.

"Did I hurt you?" she asked, her voice breaking even as pleasure threatened to take over.

"No, baby," he said, shaking his head as he leaned up to brush his lips against hers. "You didn't hurt me. Just relax and let

me take care of you," he said, lazily tracing her soaked slit with the head of his cock as his other hand gently massaged her ass.

A soft moan escaped her parted lips as she flexed her hips back and forth, clearly enjoying herself. "We shouldn't be

doing this, Caine," she said in a breathy whisper.

"Want me to stop, baby?"

She licked her lips as she shook her head, panting loudly as her body trembled above his. "I'd have to kill you at this point

if you did," she said tightly before she released another one of those breathy moans that he was starting to love.

"Then I think I'll take back over," he said with a groan as he stopped what he was doing to wrap his arms around her and

roll over.

He didn't waste any time in taking what he wanted. As soon as her back hit the cold ground he moved his mouth between

her breasts and pressed a kiss before turning his head and licking the side of her breast. She hugged his head tightly against her

as she let out another one of those throaty moans that he loved and he decided then and there that he was going to have to leave

her with a satellite phone on top of that mountain because phone sex with this woman was going to be a must.

"I'm not on birth control, Caine," she said, sounding out of breath as she spread her legs wider, cradling him perfectly as

he lay on top of her. He propped himself up on his elbows, keeping most of his weight off her.

He could feel her hot and wet against his stomach and shifted slightly so that his hard cock lay across her slit, giving her

something to grind against and grind she did.

"We don't need it, baby," he said as he licked around the tight pink nipple.

She stilled beneath him. "I don't want kids, Caine."

He flicked his tongue over the tip of her nipple. "Neither do I," he said, shooting her a look of warning. She better not

change her mind because he wasn't having it. It was bad enough that Danni had been a bit of a weakness for him for so many

years, he sure as hell wasn't going to give his enemies something they could use against him like a child. He didn't want to

curse any child with a never ending existence.

"Then you'll have to pull out," she said firmly, squirming beneath him in a desperate attempt to pull his cock inside of her.

Shaking his head, he latched onto her nipple, making her back bow and lift off the ground. Before she dropped back

against the ground he thrust, entering the tightest, hottest hold he'd ever experienced in his life.

Danni's hold on him tightened as she widened her legs impossibly further and moved against him. He gave her nipple one

last lick before he shifted so that he could watch her as she moved beneath him. He'd never allowed another woman to control

anything in bed before, but with Danni he was helpless to stop her.

He loved the look of rapture on her face as she slowly slid down his cock until only the tip remained inside and then

flexed her hips to take him all the way back in. For several pleasurable moments he allowed her to call the shots while he

watched her. She was so beautiful, he thought as he leaned down and took her mouth.

This kiss was different from the last one. This kiss was slow, but no less hungry as they explored each other's mouths. He

loved it when she ran the tip of her tongue over his. It was like a shot straight to his cock. When he couldn't take any more he

slowly thrust forward, meeting her halfway before they pulled apart and did it all over again.

Their rhythm and movements were perfect. It felt like they'd had a century of making love behind them instead of this

being the first time. Everything about this woman was made for him and him alone. She felt so perfect in his arms and he knew

that it was only going to get better in time.

"Don't forget to pull out," she said against his mouth.

"No need," he said, panting hard as he nibbled on her bottom lip, "you're not ovulating." If she had been he would have

pleasured her with his mouth and fingers and simply used her mouth for relief. He stayed the hell away from ovulating women.

He didn't trust pulling out, condoms or birth control, accidents happened and he'd be damned if he was stuck with a permanent

weakness for the rest of his life. Make that two permanent weaknesses, he thought as he looked into Danni's beautiful red eyes

as they thrust against each other.

"Harder," she cried into his mouth as her movements became frantic and he felt her walls clamp down tightly around him.

His fingers dug into the ground as he did just that. For years he had to hold back with women, but he would never have to

do that with Danni. Anything he dished out she could handle and he couldn't help but feel freed by the knowledge.

He pulled back and slammed into her over and over again, waiting for her to scream for him to stop or show some sign of

distress so when she pulled his head down for another hot kiss he decided that there were definitely benefits to having a mate.

"Caine!" she screamed his name into his mouth as her sheath clamped around him to the point that he actually feared that

she might break his shaft in half. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to keep moving as she milked him for all he was worth.

When his orgasm hit him it took him by surprise, robbing him of his breath and sanity. He looked down into beautiful

violet eyes as intense pleasure unlike anything he'd ever known before surged through him and he was lost.

Nothing was ever going to be the same after this.

Chapter 24

Danni wasn't sure how much time had passed before she felt Caine's body relax and he began snoring, but it hadn't been

fast enough for her. As carefully as she could she pushed Caine's arm off of her from where it lay across her waist and slowly

eased away from him.

The cold air immediately assaulted her and made her wish that she could stay in Caine's arms where she was warm and

felt protected for the first time in a long time, but she couldn't. This had been a mistake, an earth shattering, mind blowing

mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.

What the hell was wrong with her sleeping with a man who not only abandoned her when she needed him the most, but

also rejected her two days ago? Was she really that desperate? Apparently so, because not too long ago she hadn't been able to

get enough of him.

Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she remembered clawing at him, unable to get close enough to him. Well, at

least his opinion of her couldn't get any lower, she thought dryly as she glanced over her shoulder into the still dark night. She

needed to get out of here and put some distance between them before he woke up. Hopefully she'd be able to thumb a ride

before he realized that she was gone.

She looked down at her torn, dirt streaked shirt and winced. Getting a ride might be a problem. She chanced one last look

at the man who used to be her entire world before she turned around and walked away.

enjoy himself eight or so hours ago.

The vampire threw him a nervous glance, but said nothing. Not that he had to point his finger at Greg. Lucan followed the

man's gaze and narrowed his eyes on Greg. With a barely noticeable flick of his hand, Lucan sent the vampire flying across the
