Saber crossed the room and set her phone on the table beside her bed. He glanced back at the doors again as he contemplated walking out of here and returning to the woods to hunt.
He wasn’t hungry, her blood had more than satisfied him, and it would for at least the next three days. Plus, he feasted earlier, but he should unleash some of his growing, pent-up energy.
Racing through the woods and tracking his prey would help him forget the demons, Brie, and his strange vision. And he needed a reprieve from all of them.
His fangs throbbed at the idea of hunting, but then Caro shifted. Her blanket dipped enough to reveal the creamy top of a breast; when it did, his hunter instincts focused on her as she awakened another, more demanding hunger.
Caro saw the change in Saber’s eyes as passion caused red to flash through them. She sought answers, but her body instinctively reacted to the sudden desire he emanated as his cock hardened.
He was her mate, he needed her, and she wouldn’t refuse him. They could discuss whatever happened tomorrow, but for now….
Caro pulled back the sheets, and when she did, the sight of her naked body turned his eyes completely red. His fangs lengthened, and she squirmed a little as she remembered how it felt to have him feeding from her.
Wetness spread between her legs as she opened them. She whimpered when the mattress sank beneath Saber’s weight and he crawled over to plant his hands on either side of her.
She sensed his desire, as he remained kneeling between her legs and his eyes held hers. Then, he sat back a little, while his gaze roamed over her. Caro’s skin came alive everywhere his eyes touched as anticipation thrummed through her bloodstream.
He didn’t touch her, but her nipples hardened beneath a perusal that was as intimate and arousing as his hands would be. It took everything she had not to start squirming again while her body ached for him.
And then his hands rested on the insides of her thighs and slid down. He leaned closer as his fingers skimmed her.
“I want to watch you fuck yourself,” he said.
His fangs distorted his voice, but his words caused her heart to jackhammer. She wasn’t going to argue with him, especially when she was desperate for release.
Leisurely, she ran her fingers down her stomach to the junction of her legs. His eyes, following her every move, grew redder when her hand slid between her legs.
Caro couldn’t suppress a moan when she stroked her clit. Saber’s hands tightened on her hips, and his dick stood proudly between them, but he didn’t stop her.
As the pressure within her built, her head fell back a little. Saber licked his lips as his eyes remained riveted on her. The hunger radiating from him and the heat of his powerful body was all too much.
“Fuck,” he breathed when she came with a loud cry.
She was spiraling down from the height of her orgasm when he pulled her further down on the bed. His low growl rumbled against her throat as he sank his fangs and cock into her.
She’d just come, but she did so again as his body enveloped hers, and the world spiraled away until only they remained.
CHAPTERFIVE
Caro feltSaber’s eyes on her as he stood in the doorway of her forge and watched her melt swords, knives, and statues for more metal. She had some of the rare metal her father taught her to create on hand, but not enough to weld the eight other stones into a sword.
Most of the things she melted were creations she made, but some were her father’s. She hated destroying anything he’d created, but it couldn’t be helped. Still, her heart ached with every piece that vanished beneath her fire.
She had no choice but to destroy some of them. She required the metal he’d used to forge them.
Saber crossed his arms over his chest while watching Caro work. Despite the sadness she exuded, she didn’t hesitate, and her face remained outwardly composed. If he couldn’t feel her sorrow, he wouldn’t know it was there.
Back in a tank top and leather overalls, she had her hair knotted on top of her head, but some strands had fallen to cling to her face and nape. Her beauty captivated him as sweat glistened on her dirt-streaked skin.
She’d always fascinated him, but now, he couldn’t look away from her. This beautiful, composed, strong-willed woman was inwardly grieving, and no one, other than him, would ever know.
The intimacy of that caused him to shift a little uneasily as his gaze darted to the woods. But he sensed and felt her inside him even when he wasn’t looking at her. She was apartof him.
After today, he would shut her out, but she needed him right now, and as much as he shouldn’t care, he did... a little. However, there was no way he would have this open of a connection to someone for the rest of his life.
Fuck that.
They tried to tremble, but Caro kept her hands steady as she fed more of her and her dad’s creations into the fire. Instead of getting easier, each new sacrifice rattled her more and thrust her back into the crushing arms of grief.
