Tall, Dark & Heartless (Pyte/Sentinel #3)(49)

That is until she humiliated herself with that feeding. After that she'd focused all of her time on trying to figure out a way to get out of here and away from him. The compound was out since it probably wouldn't take more than a minute before one of the demons or shifters scented the change in her and alerted the Council.

She might want to beat the shit out of the jerk for aiding in her humiliation, but that didn't mean that she wanted to see him punished and there was absolutely no doubt in her mind that he would be punished for turning her. She didn't know all the details of his probation, but she knew enough to know that the Council would make damn sure that Caine never had the opportunity to create another breed of vampires. She'd heard rumors that they planned on encasing him in cement and dropping him in the deepest, darkest part of the ocean, but up until this point she never truly feared that it would happen.

As long as she stayed away from anyone in league with the Sentinel Council, then Caine would be fine. They would never find out what he did and she could go on with her life, her incredibly long life, she thought with a sigh. It was still weird to go from fearing each day would be her last to knowing that she would never, could never, die. It was going to take some getting used to, but then again she had plenty of time to do that. The only thing that she didn't have at the moment was somewhere to go.

She had no friends outside of the compound, no relatives and the small amount of money that she had wasn't worth taking the risk of someone tracing it, so she was going to have to leave it right where it was. She had absolutely nothing and no one, but that was fine with her. It would take some time, but she'd make up a new life for herself and continue with her purpose.

Actually, thanks to Caine, she'd be more efficient and could make more of a difference in this war against demons, vampires and shifters. It would probably take her some time to master her new abilities and make any real difference, but now that she no longer had to worry if the next day would be her last it wouldn't matter. She could learn new fighting skills, travel the world, and find better weapons and-

Oh shit, she thought as she licked her lips and her eyes zeroed in on the powerful male before her. She felt her ni**les harden against the soft material of the men's shirt that she wore and felt herself go wet between her legs as the scent of his arousal hit her, hard.

Her knees actually shook as she struggled to keep moving forward. The scent was mouthwatering and so much stronger than it had been before. She didn't need a mirror to know that her eyes had gone red and that her fangs had dropped. She ignored Caine's softly spoken curse as he threw a glare over his shoulder at her as if this was somehow her fault.

"I'm just reacting to you!" she pointed out in a harsh whisper even though they both realized that, well, he damn well better realize that this was his fault.

"Well, stop," he bit out between clenched teeth as his eyes flickered between that beautiful steel gray that she used to love to red. As the red solidified she knew that he was losing control. If she was still human that knowledge would have probably scared the hell out of her, but she wasn't and they really needed to stay focused if they were going to get of here.

"Maybe I should take the lead," she suggested, moving to do just that when Caine's growl made her pause.

"Keep your ass behind me, Danni, and when the time comes you better not hesitate in moving your ass," he practically snarled.

"I won't," she said tightly.

"See that you don't," he warned before turning his attention back on the closed door as her eyes admittedly dropped down to his grey boxer briefs encased ass and may have stayed there for a few seconds before she got her head back in the game.

As she watched Caine reach out to open the door she struggled not to think about his ass and wonder what it would feel like to run her hands over that perfectly curved ass as he thrust inside of her and-

One second she was walking behind Caine in a daze and the next she was flying through the air and her back was hitting the hard wall as Caine's lips crashed down on hers. The kiss was punishing, brutal and turned her on more than it should have.

He didn't hesitate in taking what he wanted. Before she could register that Caine was truly kissing her, his tongue thrust into her mouth and demanded that hers come out to play and God help her but she was helpless to refuse.

She slid her tongue against his, loving the way it felt, the way it made her entire body tingle with need and wanted more, but before she could demand that he do more he was breaking off the kiss and moving back, panting hard as he glared down at her.

"We don't have time for this bullshit, Danni," he snapped, his eyes once again flickering until they turned to cold steel and she knew that he was under control once again. It only went to remind her that she wasn't. She'd lost control and she was having a hell of a time getting it back.

"Then move your ass and keep your hands to yourself," she snapped back, pushing off the wall and moving towards the door, more than ready to get this over with and put some distance between the two of them.

"Then stop sending out 'Fuck me' vibes and I will," he said, storming past her and ripping the door off its hinges.

She barely had time to duck as the door sailed through the air, over her head and embedded itself in the cement wall behind her. She straightened up and stormed after him just as he attacked the vampires at the door. They looked startled as Caine unleashed hell on them.
