lips glistened with her juices and his saliva. A passing thought urged embarrassment, but she was too blissed-out to feel anything but gratitude and contentment, especially when he looked at her with such hunger.
Teasing, dragging fingers caressed her from throat to pubis. His voice was raspy. “Are you ready for more, Shayla? I don’t mean to rush you, but I—“
She reached out and pressed three fingers against his full lips. “Don’t even think of apologizing for needing me.”
He hitched an eyebrow and kissed her fingers, then pulled them away. “Was that a command, milady?”
She blushed. “Take it how you will.” She bit her bottom lip to restrain the smile threatening to erupt.
He growled. “What did I tell you about biting yourself?”
The tension in his voice and flashing gold behind his dilated eyes thrilled her and reawakened her body. “Well, someone ought to,” she whispered.
His mouth dropped open and she watched in awe as his fangs elongated. She squeaked as he easily pushed her further up on the bed and crawled between her thighs.
“Just someone, Shayla? Anyone?” He braced himself with one arm while his other hand rubbed the head of his cock through her slick folds.
“You,” she breathed.
“Say it again,” he growled. His muscles trembled and his eyes nearly glowed.
Her heart thundered against her breastbone, deep need making her crave his body in hers. She almost couldn’t hold herself still the urge was so intense. “You. I’m yours.”
“Your body?” He pushed the thick head of his cock into her wet pussy and stilled.
She groaned and looked down between them. The erotic vision of his dick entering her body made her cunt clench. He bit out a curse in what sounded like ancient Gaelic. Her gaze flew to his. “My body is yours.”
“Yes.” He pushed in further and Shayla gasped at the incredible stretching and filling. “Your blood? Who can claim your blood?”
Shayla found it difficult to speak through her panting. “Only…you.”
His weight fell upon her and he braced himself on his elbows near her shoulders. One of his hands tangled in her braids and lifted her head up for a searing kiss. Finally he pulled away and trailed kisses to her ear. Under her hands, his taut muscles radiated leashed power. “Your virginity, Shayla, your womanhood,” he rasped.
“Yours,” she pleaded.
His body exploded in movement. He thrust his hips until he was fully seated within her. He threw his head back and roared in a sound that could only be described as ecstatic triumph, then as quickly dropped his face to her throat and buried his fangs deep within the yielding flesh of her neck.
Shayla was overwhelmed, awash in competing sensations. The speed of Kael’s actions surprised her and his pleasured shout drowned out her gasped whimper. She’d cried out as her body adjusted to his full presence, and then his bite seared her neck. But all of that seemed as if in a different lifetime, because the very first sucking pull of his mouth against her throat removed every bit of pain from her body.
His movements possessed her, claimed her. He wrapped his body over hers as he hunched and thrust between her thighs. His hands cradled and held her as he moaned and sucked at her throat. Her body had broken out in a sheen of sweat and she was slick everywhere, easing his way as he slid his massive taut frame above hers. She wrapped her arms around him and dug her fingers into his shoulder blades, his lats, his ass, as she tried to anchor herself to reality.
The suction at her throat pulled through her whole being until her toes curled against his calves. Her legs fell open and she ground her center against his hammering thrusts. Each suck of his mouth throbbed in her pussy until she was mad with need.
Shayla whined and pleaded and nuzzled his hair and writhed against him. Kael growled as he fed and the sound vibrated through her chest. Impossibly, her body detonated again. She arched back
