How
tempting it would be to sink her fangs into that beautiful neck,
but she had gorged on enough of his blood last night to last her a
month. He exploded inside her, his hot cum rushing through her.
Damn, they didn’t use a condom again. Tempting the fates they were.
Raylene found she didn’t mind. If she got pregnant with Deegan’s
child she would love it.
In a sudden movement, he stepped back
and away from her.
“ Damn it, fuck!” he roared. He
reached for a nearby napkin and wiped his cock. “I didn’t mean for
that to happen. Jaysus, we should be using protection.”
She tried to reach out to touch his cheek,
but he pulled away. Her hand dropped, his rejection hurting
her.
“ We are mated now, so what about
the protection? If I should get pregnant—”
“ I don’t want any damned
children, don’t you understand?” he snarled, his eyes blazed in
anger, his fangs elongated and glistened in raw menace. He arranged
himself and zipped his pants. He reached down for the robe and
tossed it to her. “I didn’t mean to sound harsh.”
“ But you did, Deegan. You meant
what you said. Then explain to me why we have had sex without
protection?”
He looked around at the scattered food and
broken dishes. “What a damned mess.” She didn’t know if he spoke of
them or the chaos of clutter on the floor. “The need to mate
overrode my common sense. It was a mistake.”
She jumped off the table and put the robe
back on. “What is wrong with you? Did something happen? Brennan
said you had clan business—”
Her words were cut off by the sensual and
sudden assault of Deegan’s lips. His tongue moved between her
teeth, stroking and caressing. When he kissed her she could forget
everything. He lifted her in his arms.
“ Let me love you, Raylene, the
way you deserve to be loved. I can take my time, seduce you. Let me
show you the lover I can be. Think of the heights we could
scale.”
Higher than he took her last night, or
just now? How was that even possible? She wasn’t going to refuse,
so she nodded. Even though Deegan didn’t answer her questions, she
understood the need to mate overriding every rational
thought.
He climbed the stairs; she
nuzzled his neck as he carried her as if she were precious cargo.
He lowered her on the bed. Raylene removed the robe and watched as
Deegan slowly undressed in front of her.
He had a stunning body, tightly
packed with sinewy, lean muscle. His chest was broad and just hairy enough.
A thin strip of hair snaked down past his eight-pack abs. Two
prominent vertical veins pulsed furiously above his cock, and ran
along both sides of his rock-hard stomach. She made a vow to
herself to follow the path of those veins with her tongue before
the sun rose. So male, so masculine.
Deegan walked to the night table and
pulled out a box of condoms from the drawer. Her heart sank. So he
really didn’t want kids. They could talk about it later though. The
sexual daze she felt at the moment banished all such concerns. The
sight of his glorious body distracted her. His scent, a tormenting
mix of musk and fresh ocean air muddled her thoughts. That was all
she could concentrate on. He lay on the bed on his side, facing
her, stroking her cheek. His long finger made a languid journey
over every part of her skin. She shuddered. His finger swirled in
the curls between her legs. She parted them, and he set her body on
fire as it plunged into her wet core. She grasped his hand and
moved her hips. He plunged in a second, stretching her even wider,
then a third. She moaned. His thumb stroked her swollen clit. In
time with his thrusts, her hips followed the rhythm. She came, not
the frenzied color bursting climax of downstairs, but a languorous,
intense shattering of her soul.
He turned her gently onto her back and
continued to lick and kiss every inch of her skin, giving it such
an incendiary blush she thought she would self-combust. Deegan took
his time, such a leisurely stroll over her skin.
