“I’m sorry,” he whispered, his hands caressing her face as he kissed her again. “The pain will ease.”
She nodded as he ran his lips across her collarbone before dipping lower to run his tongue over her nipple. He remained unmoving within her as he caressed her flesh, slowly evoking her desire for him again. He drew her nipple into his mouth and sucked on it as he ran his tongue around it once more.
The coiling tension built within her once more as he turned his attention to her other breast. The sight of his dark head bent over her, the heat of his mouth, and the scrape of his fangs became an overwhelming sensation she almost couldn’t take, but she didn’t want it to stop.
Instinctively, she lifted her hips to take him deeper into her as her fingers entwined in his hair and she drew him closer to her breast. He growled against her flesh as she lowered her hips and gasped when a wave of bliss speared through her.
Ronan kept himself still as he waited for her to adjust to the feel of him inside her and to explore him in her own way and own time. It had been years since he’d last had sex, yet he didn’t feel out of control with need. A calm had descended over him the second she gave herself to him, a tranquility he’d never expected to experience in his life.
She lifted her hips again, and he groaned as she fell and rose on his cock once more, drawing him deeper into her. He had wanted to take his time, but when she wrapped her legs around his back and arched against him, he knew he was lost. He couldn’t stop himself from moving faster, harder, deeper until all he could feel was her pliant body against his and her tight muscles squeezing his cock.
Kadence’s hands gripped his hard ass as she held him closer to her. “Please,” she panted as the tension coiling higher in her body felt ready to unravel.
She was close to orgasm; he could sense it in her rapid pulse and the demanding movements of her body beneath his. “Please what?” he asked as he nipped at her ear.
“I… I don’t know.”
He would have laughed at her words, if they hadn’t unleashed something primitive within him, something he’d never experienced before. She washis, and only his. She may not know what she wanted, but he did, and he would give her the answer. He would be the only one toeverease her in such a way.
Driving deeper into her, he reached between them to rub his finger against her clit until she was writhing and her body was moving wantonly beneath his. Her head fell back as she arched off the bed.
“Ronan!”
The cry erupted from her as waves of pleasure crashed through her, causing her whole body to shake. She could only cling to him as she completely unraveled. She had never felt anything like this, never thought to experience such bliss.
With a shout, he plunged into her a final time and the clenching muscles of her sheath milked his release from him. Tremors shook him as he continued to come inside her in a seemingly endless stream. Finally spent, his head fell to her shoulder and he remained buried within her as he rolled to the side with her trapped in his arms.
He savored the astonishing feelings she evoked in him. Most of them were feelings he was experiencing for the first time. He’d never felt so protective of another before, never wanted to cherish and hold someone as close as he held her.
He inhaled her sweet scent, pleased to realize he could smell himself all over her too. Others would smell him on her skin and within her as well. Her hands released their death grip on his shoulders, and she trailed her fingers leisurely up his back.
He inhaled again, drawing her essence deeper into him. Then, the scent changed. In an instant, all he could smell was her sweet blood pounding through her veins. And he wanted to havehisblood coursing as strongly within her as her own. He also wanted to feel her flowing through him to form an unbreakable connection to her.
Without warning, the demon part of him rushed to the forefront.
CHAPTER 25
His fangs lengthened against her skin as his instincts screamed at him to drain her blood and replace it with his own. To make it so they would be bound for eternity and she would never be able to walk away from here or return to her family. His fangs grazed her neck. The vein pulsing beneath her flesh was right there; he could pierce it before she ever knew what he intended.
He’d have her drained to the point of death within a minute and his own blood filling her in the next minute.
She’ll hate you for an eternity if you cage her against her will and in such a way!A small sliver of reason pierced through his bloodlust.
Pulling himself out of her, he flung himself back so fast that he nearly toppled off the bed.
“Ronan, are you okay?”
Her hand rubbed his back. His control unraveled further at her touch. “Don’t!” he snarled.
Kadence recoiled as if she’d been slapped. She had no idea what was wrong with him, but she suspected it had something to do with what had just transpired between them. Had she done something wrong?
Well, if she had, then it washisfault, she decided. He had a lot more experience in this than she did after all.
What if they had both done something wrong? He may have a lot more experience in this area than her, but she could guarantee he’d never been with a hunter before. Maybe their kinds were never supposed to come together in such a way and now something was happening to him because of it.
She pulled the blanket up against her chest as he launched to his feet and stalked away from her. He didn’t look at her as he prowled the room.
“Did we do something wrong?” she asked. “Is this because I’m a hunter and you’re a vampire?”
