He sucked in a breath at her statement and the thought of being hers settled deep inside him.
She distracted him from her statement when she tilted her neck toward him and brushed her hair behind her shoulder, offering herself to him.
After close to a century alone, he’d found the one woman who made him whole.Without wasting one more second, he surged deep inside her; when her muscles clenched his cock and her hot, wet come washed over him, he found the exact spot he needed and bit down.
He released venom into her bloodstream as his climax hit him, and he moaned his release against her skin.His release triggered another shiver of an orgasm for her, and she clutched him closer.Neither of them was eager to pull apart, but after several minutes, he pulled his teeth from her shoulder.Still holding her flush against him, he rolled to his back, and laid her head on his chest.
He brushed her hair behind her ear, and glanced down to see his mark on her shoulder.Instead of the bright red puncture marks he had found the last time, the area where his two teeth pierced her were black, as though tattooed on her skin.Curious, he ran his finger over one of the marks, causing her to shiver against him.
“Does it hurt?” he asked.
“No, it’s…pleasurable,” she said.
He smiled when he heard her sleepy voice.Pulling her tighter against his side, he kissed the top of her head.
“Sleep, beautiful.”
“Missed…you,” she mumbled before she fell asleep in his arms.
Although elation at her words washed over him, rage grew as he realized how close evil had been to Ara.
The bastard had shown her the lion-shifter’s death.Although the assassins were used to death in all forms, they were greatly affected by the video of a shifter ripping out his own throat.Tomorrow, he and the others would make plans to get ahead of this guy and eliminate him.
The more his feelings grew for the beautiful woman in his arms, the more determined he became to slay all of her demons, real or not.With that final thought, he drifted off to sleep.
