his
mate, in a woman who barely reached his shoulder. She radiated
nothing but goodness and light.
    You don’t want to tie her
to you. That’s admirable. Accept us. We’ll take all of it
away. The ever present taunting voice of
the darkness whispered to the fraying edges of his
control.
    Dane clenched his fists and dropped his head
back. The roar at the tip of his tongue. He knew he was taking the
choice from her, and it nagged at him. He didn’t want to do that.
Maybe, just maybe, he could continue to hold out for a bit
longer.
    “ Dane?” The tone, soft and
sensual, floated across the hut and wrapped around him.
    His eyes jerked over to the entrance of the
building. Aida stood there bathed in the glow from the fire. She
wore the same thing, and he blinked a few times to ensure it wasn’t
his imagination.
    “ You came.” Part of him
had expected her to bolt. He’d not exactly been a gentleman
before.
    “ Two hours.” She walked
toward him her gaze locked onto his. “Are you okay?”
    Dane moved to her as well amazed at how
quickly time had passed during his battle against the darkness.
Stopping millimeters from her, he raked his eyes hungrily over her
face. Silent, he reached behind her and released her hair from its
confinement. A low rumble rose in his chest the moment he tightened
his hands into the silken strands. Aida stood there, lips parted,
watching him, waiting. Allowing him to make the first move. Her
trust humbled him. Tightening his hands in her hair, Dane held her
there and kissed her.
    He licked her bottom lip and slipped it in
his mouth briefly. Then, he slid into her mouth. Her tongue was
right there to meet his, and she whimpered when they stroked along
each other. Need pounded through him. Lightning shot from his head
to his feet when she nipped him and moaned low in her throat. His
cock pushed against the denim of his pants.
    Her taste was addictive. Dane devoured her,
dominating her mouth and inhaling her unique flavor like a dying
man. His body ached for her, and he almost came right then when she
looped her arms around his neck and hooked one leg high on his
waist. Dane jerked away with a low graveled groan and met her gaze.
His skin felt flushed with wanting her.
    “ Why did you come
back?”
    “ I said I
would.”
    He loosed the hold he had on her hair. Aida
tightened hers. Her fingers combed into the locks at the base of
his neck and teased the skin.
    “ You’re playing with fire,
Aida,” he rumbled dangerously.
    Her fingers tugged on his hair. “I’m already
burning, so what’s a little more fire?” His beast roared in
agreement. “I’m more than willing to do this, Dane, but you have to
tell me you have protection.”
    Protection? Dane didn’t carry condoms. His tiger swiped out,
and he actually flinched.
    Aida smiled sadly. “I’ll take that as a no,
so, guess I’ll have to make do without you inside me.” She lowered
her leg and arms. Dane’s rush of anger died the moment her hands
settled on the waist of his jeans.
    “ No,” he rasped. Her eyes,
wide and full of surprise, flashed up to his. “Aida, stop. I’m
trying so hard not to rip your clothes off and take you hard and
fast against every fucking surface in here. You touch me, and I’ll
lose control.” His words were tense with pain and
longing.
    Dane lifted her and carried her to the bed
where he undressed her. Her sweet aroma wafted to his nose, and he
struggled for control. He stared at her lying naked on the bed,
lust overflowing in her own eyes. The only thing she wore was her
necklace. Brushing their lips together, he used one hand to trail
over her luscious body, mentally memorizing each curve, dip, and
swell. She writhed beneath him. Dane continued to make love to her
mouth, willingly drowning in her taste.
    His cock throbbed when he passed over her
mound, the hairs holding proof of her desire. He slipped a finger
between the lips, and she moaned in his mouth. Her tight wet slit
gripped him hard, and
