and all he wanted to do was climb into bed with her. But it was obvious she still needed to talk. “What are you thinking?” “How the hell we’re ever going to work? Your pack will never accept me—” “They’ll accept you,” he ground out. Most of them were fine with it. As of now there were a few dissenters, but he’d weed them out. Times were changing and these blood feuds had to stop if they wanted to survive. She kept going as if he hadn’t spoken. “We’ll always come up against opposition and what if you want to continue your line. I don’t know that I’ll be able to give you children.” If he’d wanted offspring, he could have mated a hundred times over. It was rare for a vampire to give birth—one of the reasons a blood born vamp was so powerful—and if all he had was Angela for the rest of their lives, that would be enough. More than enough . He’d heard about a vampire-werewolf hybrid born decades ago, so he knew it was at least possible for their species to mate, but in the end… “I don’t care about that. I never have. I want you .” She shook her head and stood up. “Knox—” He wasn’t in the mood to argue. Not after the day he’d had. And it was obvious all she wanted to do was tell him why they wouldn’t work when he knew exactly why they would work. So he kissed her. For a brief moment she tensed against him but just as quickly her body melted against his like liquid sin. When he pulled his head back to pull her top off, she shook her head. “You don’t fight fair,” she murmured. “I never claimed to.” With her breasts bared to him he didn’t waste time sucking one of her nipples into his mouth. Talking could always wait when he had her naked in front of him. Immediately she arched her back for him, giving him more access. He ran his tongue around her tightening bud and he felt her moan all the way to his toes. Tonight he would dominate her. He needed to. Their mating and all last night had been scorching hot but now he wanted to take her the way his inner wolf demanded. When he reached for the button on her pants, she did the same to his. In a flurry of supernaturally fast movement, their clothes were discarded and she was naked and on top of him. The cool covers underneath him were in direct contrast to the fire in his blood. Angela stroked herself over his cock but didn’t make a move to let him inside her. She seemed content to kiss and tease him. Her tongue flicked against his in erotic strokes, making him remember how she’d teased him the same way last night. As if she read his mind, she drew her head back and smiled. His breath caught at that rare smile. Bracing her hands on his chest, she scooted lower and began a trail of kisses down his body. When she reached one of his nipples, he shuddered as she ran her tongue then teeth over it. Everywhere she touched or kissed made him burn. She started to move lower but he grabbed her hips and sat up, meeting her mouth with his. The kiss was crushing and demanding. The harshness of Knox’s kiss startled and turned Angela on even more than she already was. His hands tightened around her hips and before she realized what he was doing, he’d flipped their positions. So dominating. Even when she tried to take control, he took it right back. Not that she minded. Giving in to him this way was something she could do over and over again. They might have a lot of issues with his pack but they certainly didn’t have a problem in the bedroom. She started to wrap her arms around his neck to pull him closer when his fists tightened on her. He flipped her onto her knees in a fluid, graceful movement. Looking over her shoulder at him, she trembled at the possessive look in his dark eyes. With his gaze on her, he ran his palm down her back until he reached between her legs from behind. Her parted the lips of her sex and slowly pushed a finger inside her. The position was different but she found she liked it.
