“Good.”
“I think you’ll like my friends,” he said to her.
“Are they like you?”
“No, they’re a lot nicer.”
“Will they be okay with Dylan, a human, knowing about them?”
“There are a couple of other humans who know about us too. They’ll be fine with it, and they’ll protect him like he’s a member of the family, which he will be.”
Charlie shifted uncomfortably. “I need time before jumping into this whole mate life with you.”
Jack didn’t tell her that he probably didn’t have a whole lot of time now that they had sex and he tasted her blood. He’d waited this long to find her; hewouldwait longer before claiming her. She’d been through so much in her short life, and he wouldn’t make things more difficult for her.
Chapter Thirty-One
Charlie woke slowlyand smiled when she felt Jack’s heat enveloping her. His spicy scent tickling her nose reminded her of home. His heart didn’t beat beneath her ear, but that was because she’d shifted until her head lay across his thighs. Still nude, the wiry hair on his calf tickled her palm.
Placing her hands on the rock floor, she pushed herself up to discover him watching her with the hooded eyes of a predator. Afraid any movement would cause him to pounce, she froze.
Her heart raced as she became entranced by the hunger in his gaze. That insatiable hunger was forher. The sight of it caused her nipples to pucker as her gaze fell on his mouth. An ache spread between her legs when she recalled the ecstasy his mouth could bring her.
“We… we should go,” she said.
“It’s still night,” he said as he skimmed his knuckles down her cheek. “I checked a little while ago.”
He’d shifted her to check the entrance and moved her again when he returned. She never slept soundly; it unnerved her to realize she was so comfortable around him.
Savoring the feel of her silken skin, Jack slid his knuckles down her throat. His fangs pricked when his fingers rested over her pulse in her throat. Her blood was a tantalizing beat, and his heart accelerated to match the rhythm of it.
“Beautiful,” he murmured as he trailed his fingers down the center column of her delicate neck.
Charlie didn’t realize she was holding her breath until her lungs started burning. “You’re hurt,” she whispered as his touch set her blood on fire.
“I’m much better,” he murmured. “Your blood did wonders.”
He ran his thumb around her nipple before cupping her breast and bending to suck her nipple into his mouth. He nipped it before running his tongue soothingly around it and biting again. The exquisite sensation of his tongue laving her while his fangs grazed her flesh caused Charlie to arch beneath his touch.
Given the look in his eyes when she first woke up, she’d expected him to come at her hard and fast, but his touch was leisurely and reverent as he worked his way lower over her body. Every caress left her aching for more.
Slipping her fingers into his hair, she held him as his mouth left a searing trail from her breasts to her belly button while his hand slid between her legs. His finger stroked her clit before he dipped it inside of her. Charlie’s head fell back, and she moaned as his finger worked her until all she could do was tremble while she clung to him.
With no control over his fangs, they throbbed as he ran his tongue back over her body and up to her mouth. He nipped at her lower lip, drawing blood and sucking on it. It was already too late for him, so he saw no reason not to taste her exquisite blood again.
Sliding her hands down his chest, Charlie relished the feel of his smooth muscles as they bunched and flexed beneath her palms while his kiss deepened. She moved her hips in rhythm with his hand as she rode him.
Her fangs lengthened as their tongues entangled, and she wrapped her hand around his shaft. Hard and hot, it throbbed as she ran her fingers over it and circled his head. She couldn’t stop her mouth from watering as she recalled the exquisite pleasure of having him inside her.
Keeping hold of his shaft, she straddled his lap. Jack broke the kiss to gaze into her eyes as she ran her hand up and down the length of him. Red was seeping into her eyes, and the tips of her fangs poked enticingly over her bottom lip. He clasped the back of her head to draw her closer before giving her clit one more stroke and pulling his finger out of her.
She rubbed the head of his dick teasingly against her wet entrance before pulling it away. A playful smile curved the corners of her mouth when she teased him again. He resisted grasping her hips and thrusting into her, but though he wanted this torture to end, he enjoyed watching her and seeing what she would do.
Sliding back a little, Charlie bent forward. She met and held Jack’s eyes as she licked the head of his cock. He stiffened beneath her as the muscles in his neck stood out. She couldn’t help but smile as she licked him again before sliding her mouth over his head and swirling her tongue around it.
Jack’s breath hissed out as her hand slid down his shaft while her tongue tasted him. Then her fangs retracted, and her mouth slid completely over him. The sight of her fucking him with her mouth was one he’d never forget. Jack rested his head against the wall, but he didn’t dare blink as he couldn’t miss a millisecond of this.
When he felt the pressure building in his cock, he gripped her upper arms. “I’m going to come.”
