He cried out, his muscles tensing, his warmth spilling deep inside, his body shuddering.

Deepa followed soon after, the pleasure washing over her, her mind going blank.

They clung to each other, their bodies shaking, their hearts racing as they basked in the post orgasm high.

Deepa tried to slip out of bed, but Axel's arms tightened around her. "Stay," he whispered.

She felt her heart skip a beat, her stomach fluttering.

"Okay," she whispered, allowing him to pull her closer, his warmth enveloping her.

They lay there, silent and still, his scent lulling her into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter Nine

Axel awoke in the morning to find the girl gone.

Her scent was still fresh on the sheets, but she was nowhere in sight.

A part of him was relieved, a part of him was angry.

He shouldn't give a shit. He never gave a damn about any woman that he slept with before, especially one who wanted to kill him, but it felt like she'd taken a piece of him with her.

It confused him. She was nothing. Just another filthy Infection Control agent who'd murdered plenty of his kind. She deserved to rot in a gutter, but all he could think about was her touch and her taste.

She was like a drug. One hit and he was hooked, ever since that moment that she placed a gun to his temple.

Axel sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Perhaps all the stress from the past few months had driven him insane, maybe if he just screwed her a few more times the feeling would fade.

Axel got to his feet and pulled his clothes off the floor, slipping them on, before heading down the hall.

His cousins were in the living room, watching TV while drinking.

"Morning," Luke said, taking a sip of his beer. "Where's your girlfriend?"

"She's not my girlfriend," Axel muttered back.

"Well," Luke chuckled. "You've slept with her more than once, so she's the closest thing you've ever had to a girlfriend."

"Arsehole," Axel hissed.

"If I bite a Infection Control officer will they also fuck me?" Reese grinned while lifting weights, large muscles dripping with sweat.

"Well you did bite her boyfriend," said Bruno as his thin freckled hand dove into a bag of chips. "And he hasn't shown up to blow you yet."

Axel rolled his eyes. The three of them had been giving him shit ever since Luke walked in on him and Deepa the day before.

"So what changed your mind?" Reese asked. "Couldn't resist the sweet smell of human pussy?"

"Fuck off," Axel grumbled, taking a seat next to Luke on the sofa.

Luke smirked. "I knew it."

"Shut up!" Axel snapped.

"What are we talking about?" Bruno asked through a mouth full of chips.

"Nothing," Axel said, grabbing the remote control and turning up the volume, trying to avoid what he knew was coming.
