Tall, Dark & Heartless (Pyte/Sentinel #3)(85)

"You're letting your emotions control you," he said in a chiding tone. He stepped in front of her and met her eyes dead on. While she was turned on and unable to hide it, he didn't have that problem. He was obviously aroused. The thick c**k pointing at her clued her into that, but his eyes were still a beautiful gray and there were no points in his mouth peeking out. "No matter what's going on with your body you need to be able to control your eyes and fangs," he said, moving to walk around her again, this time pulling her towel away.

"And you think sex is the key to learning how to do that?" she asked in a disbelieving tone even as she felt her body ready itself for him.

His chuckle was deep, sexy and irritating. "I know it is, baby," he said softly as brushed his fingers across her bottom as he walked past her.

"How?" she asked, hating how her voice suddenly sounded breathless.

He shrugged as he made another pass to walk around her and somehow she managed to force herself to keep her eyes forward even as something else brushed her bottom, this time earning a startled gasp from her.

"Sexual arousal is one of the body's strongest reactions. It's also one of the most difficult to ignore and when the body is desperate for release in the way I'm going to make you in a few minutes," he explained softly, making her ni**les ache in response, "it's harder to control how our body reacts and even more difficult to focus on anything else. After I'm done with you, you're going to be able to control your other side even when you're angry, hungry," he said slowly as he walked past her once again, "or need to be f**ked," he whispered in her ear as he traced between her cheeks with the piercing.

She had to bite her lip to stop herself from moaning. How did he do that? How did he turn her on more than any other man and bring her close to begging for it? Maybe that was a good thing, she decided when he placed his hands on her h*ps and held her as he continued to tease her bottom with his erection. If she could learn to control her reaction to Caine then she had a fighting chance of keeping control around humans.

"How do I push my fangs back?" she asked, surprised that her voice sounded so normal when she had a gorgeous man teasing her like this.

"Run your tongue over your teeth," he whispered in her ear, his warm breath teasing her skin as he continued his sensual assault.

"That's all?" she asked, swallowing nervously.

"That's all," he promised as he pressed a kiss against her nape.

Not really expecting much, she did it and was surprised when they slid back up. "I did it!" she said excitedly.

"Now the eyes," he said, pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

She frowned at that. "How do I do that?"

"Control what you're feeling, Danni."

"How?"

"Ignore your body, Danni. Ignore what you're feeling, what you want and most importantly ignore what I'm doing to you," he said as if it were really that easy. "Take control, Danni."

"Take control," she repeated slowly, taking a deep breath and releasing it as she forced her mind away from what he was doing and what she felt. She used the techniques her doctor showed her to escape the pain when the cancer medication didn't work. Although it didn't completely take away her pain, it did help to make it tolerable.

She evened out her breathing and focused her eyes on the wall, noting that it was tinted in shades of red, but slowly, ever so slowly the red began to fade until the wall became a light green. "I did it!" she said excitedly, barely aware of what Caine was doing behind her.

"Good," Caine said approvingly as he released her h*ps walked around her until he was once again in front of her. "Now let's see if you can maintain that control," he said as he reached out and ran the pad of his finger around her right nipple and just like that her eyes burned as everything once again went red.

He chuckled as if her lack of control amused him and of course it pissed her off. Her jaw clenched tightly almost to the point of pain as she struggled to force her mind away from his touch, her body's reaction and the need to make him eat his words. Slowly, the red began to fade away as Caine continued to circle her nipple almost lazily.

"Very good," he murmured just before he flicked her nipple, turning her vision into dark shades of red and pissing her off with that smug little smile of his.

"Try harder, Danni. You need to control it," he said, giving her nipple a slight pinch that had her knees shaking before moving on to the next one.

"I am trying," she gritted out.

"Not very hard," he mused as his other hand joined the party.

She licked her lips as she fought against the urge to melt into him. She ignored how good his touch felt as she once against focused on controlling her body. She looked over his shoulder at the wall, but that was no longer helping so instead she focused on the tattoo trailing up his neck and along his jaw.

It took a little longer to ignore the way he teased and caressed her ni**les, but somehow she managed. This time she held her control for several minutes and even when he moved his hands to cup and caress her br**sts she didn't lose control.

"Very good," he murmured, leaning forward and taking one of her ni**les into his mouth, suckling it gently as he traced the swollen tip with his tongue.

As she reached up and gripped his shoulders to steady herself her gaze flickered red. She licked her lips as she struggled not to close her eyes and focused on the top of his head as he drove her out of her mind, but still she held on. Eventually her eyesight returned to normal and when it did she couldn't help but smile and release a little moan of pleasure.
