The Immortal Hunter(55)

"Oh-I-" Dani stammered breathlessly, grabbing at the bales of hay behind her to steady herself. She was glad to have it to hold on to when he then caught her by one leg behind the knee and lifted it to draw it over his shoulder. She was left standing on one leg, her behind pressing into the slightly prickly straw as he kissed a trail up the tender skin. When he reached the apex of her thighs and pressed a kiss there, the leg Dani was standing on went weak and nearly buckled. Decker's hand immediately tightened on it, holding her up as he ran his tongue over her tender flesh, and then he raised that leg over his shoulder as well, leaving her sitting on his shoulders, facing him and leaning back into the hay to keep her seat as he buried his face between her thighs and alternately kissed, nibbled, and lathed the core of her with his lips and tongue.

Dani threw her head back and cried out, one long ululating sound as wave after wave of pleasure assaulted her. Her brain had disengaged and she was pure sensation as she bucked in his hands, her body straining for what it wanted. Decker shifted his hands to her behind then, controlling the situation, forcing her to remain still as he pleasured her. Just when she thought she was about to reached the satisfaction they were both working toward, Decker suddenly stopped what he was doing and swung around with her still on his shoulders, one of his hands quickly shifting to her lower back to support her as he lowered her to lie on fop of their clothes on the mound of hay on the floor in front of the bales.

Dani managed to scrape together enough brain function to marvel at how strong he must be to do that, but it was all she could muster. In the next moment her thoughts scattered as he settled back into his rhythm, scraping over her with lavish strokes and then pausing to suckle briefly before running his tongue around the center of her excitement. When his hands slid up her stomach to find her breasts, Dani covered them with her own, squeezing him even as he squeezed her.

This position gave her more of an opportunity to move and she did, her back arching and hips rocking. Her legs shifted restlessly until Decker pinned one of her legs with his body and then grabbed the other thigh to spread her wider and hold her still. A moment later that same hand moved down to join his mouth, the fingers rubbing over and then into her, and Dani lost it. She screamed his name, her body bucking wildly, back arching up off the hay as pleasure and release exploded within her. They hit in wave after inundating wave until she didn't know where one began and another started, and then it didn't matter and Dani felt herself falling back to the hay as her vision went dim.

Dani woke to birdsong in her ears, a vision of dusty old barn beams above her, and a cat-that-got-the-cream smile on her face. She felt absolutely fabulous, and for one moment didn't wonder why. And then she had the urge to stretch and started to move her legs, only to find them weighted down by something heavy.

Raising her head, she peered down along her body to find Decker lying with his legs on one of hers, his elbow pinning down the other, and his face buried in her lap. She stared at him blankly for a moment as she recalled how they'd gotten there, and then dropped back on the hay.

"Now you've gone and done it, Dani McGill," she muttered. "Not only have you had an almost roll in the SUV, you've had a real roll in the hay... Well sort of," she added with a frown as she realized it had been only a half roll. After all, Decker had pleasured her, but she hadn't done a thing for him, and apparently his pleasuring her had taken so much out of him that he'd conked out directly afterward.

Dani raised her head to peer down at him again. The man was dead to the world. She blew her breath out on a sigh, then closed her eyes and shook her head, wondering when her life had gotten so out of control... and how she was going to get out from under Decker without waking him up. Dani so did not want to be here when he woke. How was she going to face him? What could she say? Thank you, Decker, that was wonderful. So sorry I fell asleep on you without reciprocating?

Jeez, she thought with disgust and then stiffened as a sigh sounded and the warm weight of Decker's head was removed from between her legs. Biting her lip, Dani raised her head and glanced down to find him peering up with sleepy, silver-blue eyes.

"Hi," she said weakly and tried for a smile.

"Hi yourself," Decker responded in what was really a very sexy growl, and then he was suddenly crawling up her body. He settled on his side in the hay, one leg splaying over her lower body, one hand moving to rest on her stomach, and the other propping up his head as he peered down at her.

"I'm sorry I fell asleep," Dani said quickly, flushing with embarrassment as she forced the words out.

"You didn't fall asleep," Decker said, a smile widening his mouth. "You fainted."

Dani's guilt fled, chased out by the pure male satisfaction on his face. "Yes, well," she began with disgruntlement, only to have him interrupt.

"It's another sign of a life mate."

"It is?" she asked, relaxing a little.

Decker nodded, the hand on her stomach beginning to move in a rather distracting manner. "The shared pleasure is just too much for the mind to handle at first, so the brain winks out."

"Well... it was pretty awesome," Dani admitted shyly and then grimaced and said apologetically, "But it wasn't exactly shared. I was getting most of the pleasure."

"No, you weren't," he assured her at once. "I experienced it too. That's why it's called shared pleasure."
