Tall, Dark & Heartless

"I love you, Danni," he said as he leaned in for a kiss.

"Love you, too," she mumbled as his lips descended on hers.

This kiss was slow and sweet and no less intense than the ones before it. She cupped his jaw in her hands, enjoying the feel of the early morning whiskers that teased her palm, as she slowly rode him, barely lifting off of him as she made love to a man for the first time in her life. There was no doubt in her mind that this was love. This was intense and beautiful and she felt like everything in her life had led her here to this moment.

When she felt her orgasm building up she tried to ignore it, tried to put it off for a little while longer so that she could enjoy this for a little while longer, but there was nothing she could do to stop wave after wave of pleasure as it shot throughout her body. She squeezed her eyes shut as her breath caught in her throat as a powerful orgasm rocked her body, leaving her helpless to do anything other than to hold onto Caine tightly as his name was ripped from her lips in a loud scream.

"Danni," she thought she heard Caine growl as she felt him swell beyond what her body should have been able to handle seconds before she felt him release inside of her. The sensation of his hot release and the way his c**k rubbed her in all the right ways sent her over once again.

"Love you, Danni," Caine said as she collapsed against him. "Love you so damn much, baby."

Since she was gasping for air at the moment and couldn't very well be expected to answer him she settled for nodding. She took the kiss he gave her forehead as acceptance of her gesture of her undying love for him. It was a heartfelt gesture after all, she thought as she closed her eyes and felt herself relax.

"Danni?" Caine whispered as he rolled over onto his side and propped himself up on his elbow as he looked over his very beautiful and very na**d mate.

She was lying on top of one of the sleeping bags Jax gave them with her head pillowed on her folded arms. He ran his eyes over her and couldn't help but smile in appreciation. His mate was exquisite from her beautiful midnight black hair that fanned her arm down to her cute little toes. There wasn't anything that he didn't like about his mate and he'd proved that several times in the glen before he carried her back to their tent and made love to her several more times. When she passed out, he was forced to go hunt down the cooler of blood Jax had sent out for and consumed several bags. When he came back she was still sleeping so he decided to rest, but that hadn't lasted long. He just couldn't rest until he knew if the cancer was still in her system.

"Baby, I have to check your blood," he said, gently brushing the hair out of the way so that he could see the side of her beautiful face.

When she only grumbled he decided that he couldn't wait until she was awake. He needed to know how her blood levels were. She was probably going to have to have her blood checked several times a day for eternity to make sure the cancer wasn't getting too strong or risk her body shutting down again. It scared the hell out of him to think of that happening around humans. They'd think that she was dead and probably bury her or cremate her.

If they buried her, she could be forever out of his reach and stuck in a box in the ground for god only knows how long, but if they cremated her she'd come back before the last bone turned to ash, he knew this from experience. They'd keep her in that oven until they realized that something was wrong. He wasn't sure if she'd feel any pain while she was in limbo, but he wasn't willing to risk it. His mate was staying with him, end of story.

"Just checking your blood, Danni," he said as he moved over her until his legs were positioned on either side of her closed ones and he was leaning over her. He brushed her hair away from her neck and prepared himself for the vile taste her blood was about to leave in his mouth. It was nothing like the mouthwatering aroma she gave off, the one that drove him out of his mind over the years, but for her he'd suck it up and deal with it.

He allowed his fangs to slide down as he leaned over her until his stomach brushed against the curve of her ass and his breaths tickled her hair. As carefully as he could he used the tip of his fang to make a small cut on the side of her throat. When a few drops of blood welled up in the area he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and licked up the drops. He received a shock of a lifetime.

The cancer was still there, he could taste the slightest hint of it, but it was easily ignored as the most mouthwatering flavor that he'd ever experienced washed over his tongue. He leaned in to sample more of it only to pull back before he did something foolish. He couldn't take any blood from her. Not only would that weaken her and possibly allow the cancer to take over, but they weren't sure what her blood would do to him or anyone else for that matter. He wouldn't do anything that would weaken her or make it impossible for him to protect and care for her so for her he ignored the blood.

Within seconds the small cut he made was healing and taking temptation with it. He moved to climb off of her when his damn cock, which was always at least at half-mast around her, had to go and make contact with her ass and just like that he was hard and more than ready to see how loud he could make her scream, but she needed sleep, he reminded himself as he tried to pull back.

His c**k had other ideas. When he pulled back away from her the damn thing jerked and gave her ass a little slap that had him groaning and Danni moaning in her sleep. Well, that really was too intriguing to ignore.

He really should let her sleep, but he just couldn't help himself. With a slight flex of his h*ps he rubbed his c**k over her ass again and couldn't help but smile when she moaned again so of course he did it again and again until his c**k found its way against her cheeks and continued to rub while Danni moaned and licked her lips hungrily.

Curious, he pulled back to see what she would do and damn if her beautiful ass didn't lift and tried following after him. When he kept pulling back, she kept following, pouting and grumbling adorably as she struggled between waking up for sex and sleeping, greedy little thing, he thought with a chuckle.

When her ass was up in the air he decided to take a moment to simply enjoy the view. He reached down and gripped himself, slowly stroking as he looked her over and because he couldn't help himself he reached out and palmed one smooth, firm cheek and groaned. Her legs were pressed firmly together, but he could still see enough of her sex to know that she was swollen and wet. It didn't hurt that he could scent her arousal, but he liked a visual to go along with it.

While he continued to stroke himself he allowed his other hand to slowly glide down her ass and over her closed legs, which of course brought his hand in contact with her wet slit. He liked the way she moaned, but he liked the way she screamed better. He teased her slit with the tip of his finger for another minute before he replaced it with the head of his cock, making damn sure to make sure his piercing slid between her slit. She was so damn wet that his piercing had no trouble sliding through the tight space.

"Stop teasing me," Danni said, panting even as she moaned and wiggled her beautiful ass enticingly.

"How exactly am I teasing you?" he asked, chuckling as her ass wiggled again, demanding that he get on with it.

"Give me an orgasm, you jerk, or I'll kick your ass!" she snapped, wiggling her ass to add emphasis to her demands.

"Well, since you put it that way," he muttered with a putout sigh as released his c**k and gripped her h*ps to hold her still as he pushed inside of her. From this position it was actually a hell of a lot tighter and he was forced to use his weight to push in, but once he was in, all he could do was drop his head forward and groan long and loud as he experienced the tightest sheathe in his very long life.
