Tall, Dark & Heartless (Pyte/Sentinel #3)(118)

When she felt her orgasm building up she tried to ignore it, tried to put it off for a little while longer so that she could enjoy this for a little while longer, but there was nothing she could do to stop wave after wave of pleasure as it shot throughout her body. She squeezed her eyes shut as her breath caught in her throat as a powerful orgasm rocked her body, leaving her helpless to do anything other than to hold onto Caine tightly as his name was ripped from her lips in a loud scream.

"Danni," she thought she heard Caine growl as she felt him swell beyond what her body should have been able to handle seconds before she felt him release inside of her. The sensation of his hot release and the way his c**k rubbed her in all the right ways sent her over once again.

"Love you, Danni," Caine said as she collapsed against him. "Love you so damn much, baby."

Since she was gasping for air at the moment and couldn't very well be expected to answer him she settled for nodding. She took the kiss he gave her forehead as acceptance of her gesture of her undying love for him. It was a heartfelt gesture after all, she thought as she closed her eyes and felt herself relax.

"Danni?" Caine whispered as he rolled over onto his side and propped himself up on his elbow as he looked over his very beautiful and very na**d mate.

She was lying on top of one of the sleeping bags Jax gave them with her head pillowed on her folded arms. He ran his eyes over her and couldn't help but smile in appreciation. His mate was exquisite from her beautiful midnight black hair that fanned her arm down to her cute little toes. There wasn't anything that he didn't like about his mate and he'd proved that several times in the glen before he carried her back to their tent and made love to her several more times. When she passed out, he was forced to go hunt down the cooler of blood Jax had sent out for and consumed several bags. When he came back she was still sleeping so he decided to rest, but that hadn't lasted long. He just couldn't rest until he knew if the cancer was still in her system.

"Baby, I have to check your blood," he said, gently brushing the hair out of the way so that he could see the side of her beautiful face.

When she only grumbled he decided that he couldn't wait until she was awake. He needed to know how her blood levels were. She was probably going to have to have her blood checked several times a day for eternity to make sure the cancer wasn't getting too strong or risk her body shutting down again. It scared the hell out of him to think of that happening around humans. They'd think that she was dead and probably bury her or cremate her.

If they buried her, she could be forever out of his reach and stuck in a box in the ground for god only knows how long, but if they cremated her she'd come back before the last bone turned to ash, he knew this from experience. They'd keep her in that oven until they realized that something was wrong. He wasn't sure if she'd feel any pain while she was in limbo, but he wasn't willing to risk it. His mate was staying with him, end of story.

"Just checking your blood, Danni," he said as he moved over her until his legs were positioned on either side of her closed ones and he was leaning over her. He brushed her hair away from her neck and prepared himself for the vile taste her blood was about to leave in his mouth. It was nothing like the mouthwatering aroma she gave off, the one that drove him out of his mind over the years, but for her he'd suck it up and deal with it.

He allowed his fangs to slide down as he leaned over her until his stomach brushed against the curve of her ass and his breaths tickled her hair. As carefully as he could he used the tip of his fang to make a small cut on the side of her throat. When a few drops of blood welled up in the area he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and licked up the drops. He received a shock of a lifetime.

The cancer was still there, he could taste the slightest hint of it, but it was easily ignored as the most mouthwatering flavor that he'd ever experienced washed over his tongue. He leaned in to sample more of it only to pull back before he did something foolish. He couldn't take any blood from her. Not only would that weaken her and possibly allow the cancer to take over, but they weren't sure what her blood would do to him or anyone else for that matter. He wouldn't do anything that would weaken her or make it impossible for him to protect and care for her so for her he ignored the blood.

Within seconds the small cut he made was healing and taking temptation with it. He moved to climb off of her when his damn cock, which was always at least at half-mast around her, had to go and make contact with her ass and just like that he was hard and more than ready to see how loud he could make her scream, but she needed sleep, he reminded himself as he tried to pull back.

His c**k had other ideas. When he pulled back away from her the damn thing jerked and gave her ass a little slap that had him groaning and Danni moaning in her sleep. Well, that really was too intriguing to ignore.

He really should let her sleep, but he just couldn't help himself. With a slight flex of his h*ps he rubbed his c**k over her ass again and couldn't help but smile when she moaned again so of course he did it again and again until his c**k found its way against her cheeks and continued to rub while Danni moaned and licked her lips hungrily.

Curious, he pulled back to see what she would do and damn if her beautiful ass didn't lift and tried following after him. When he kept pulling back, she kept following, pouting and grumbling adorably as she struggled between waking up for sex and sleeping, greedy little thing, he thought with a chuckle.
