Chapter Fifteen

Anna’s soul wrenched at the sight of him, the fierce warrior god who haunted her dreams. His eyes were shooting off lasers in every direction and when his gaze settled on her his lips peeled back revealing very long, very sharp fangs. He was by far the most awe inspiring sight she had ever seen in her life.
For a single heartbeat they all seemed caught in a freeze frame.

Jared was the first to come to life in a movement too fast to follow as he flashed across the room and yanked Austin from the couch, launching him into the opposite wall. His teeth were still bared and he opened his mouth emitting an inhuman growl, a sound that might have belonged to a jungle lion but certainly not to a man.

His alien gaze swept over Will and Josh and the thunder of his voice formed words, reverberating through the room. “GETTTTHEEFFUCKKOOUTTT.”

Austin had pulled himself off the floor and stood with his fists clenched at his sides, anger and fear warring in his features as the brothers moved cautiously towards the door.

“Come on man,” Will spoke in just above a whisper.
Austin glanced at him but held his ground.

Jared pierced him with his flashing glare and snarled. “Do you want to die today?” He could detect the scent of the inferior male’s blood running through the female’s veins and his rage swelled upwards like a geyser. It took every last shred of his considerable control to keep from launching across the room and tearing him to pieces. She had drank from him, this human, her mouth had been on his skin. His body trembled with the need to destroy that which had dared to touch her.

“Dude, come on let’s go,” Will urged again, his tone filled with warning.

The boy didn’t move and Jared’s fragile control snapped. He lunged at the same moment the female sprung from the couch, landing on his back. He reached around and grabbed her by the hair to yank her off but as her fangs sunk deep into his neck, he froze.

In all of his centuries he had never allowed another to drink from him.

He stood there frozen with his hand entangled in her hair and as she lightly pulled on his vein a flood of sensations swept through him. The erection he’d been carrying since he’d first been struck by her need swelled to the point of pain and he drew in a sharp breath, holding back the tide of release with effort.

A movement to his left brought him back to his senses and he clenched a handful of silvery hair and yanked her away, bringing her around to his front.

Anna vaguely noted pain in her scalp as she dangled, but somehow the sensation only added to her fervor. She had never wanted anything as much as him in all her life.

“Please,” she whispered desperately and he crushed her against his chest. The moment their bodies met her libido went crazy and she lunged for his vein again.

He prevented her from reaching him and she looked up with a mixture of confusion and irritation. He was rumbling once more and she just barely managed to understand that she was not the focus of it.

“Put her down.” A voice said from behind her.

Anna whipped her head around just as Will and Josh started shouting.

“Dude, are you fucking insane?” Will came around to their left giving them a wide berth. “You can’t kill him like that!”

Josh came around the right side also leaving plenty of room, his expression filled with anxiety.

Austin held the pistol out in front of him and spoke through clenched teeth. “I don’t plan to kill him, just maim him.”

Jared lowered Anna to the floor and stretched his arms out, his hands open and in the air.

“Do it,” he purred in a voice filled with quiet menace, “but know my face will be the last thing your pathetically weak eyes will see.”

Even in her garbled state Anna could discern from his expression that he would relish destroying her friend.
Her friend.

She latched on to the coherent thought and managed to speak in a strangled voice. “Put the gun down Austin.”

His arm wavered. “Anna,” he pleaded.

She struggled to meet his eyes, the eyes of one she cared for deeply, but her focus was once again wavering as the needs of her body overwhelmed her.

Jared shoved her to the side and a moment later she heard the sound of bones snapping and a cry of pain. The gun clattered to the floor and she stared in horror as Austin was yanked up into the air by his throat. He’ll kill him! She thought wildly, and with her last vestige of sanity she dove at Jared’s leg and sank her fangs into his artery.

He released Austin with a shout of fury and reached down, grabbing her by the hair and ripping her head back. “Female, you are on dangerous ground,” he snarled into her face.

The threat was wasted on her. This taste of him had driven the last vestige of cognizance from her mind.

Will and Josh took advantage of Jared’s distraction and hauled Austin towards the door. He was cradling his shattered hand but still tried to resist them.

Will hissed at him. “Come on man, he’s not going to give her up and your death won’t stop what’s going to happen!”

A sound of despair snagged Jared’s attention and he whipped his head around, staring hard at the human who no longer smelled of lust as another stronger scent had replaced it. Anguish. And it was not due to the injured hand.

He looked down at the vampiress who was rubbing herself on his leg like a cat in heat then back at the heartsick male.

“You believe yourself in love with her?” He asked, incredulous.

Austin’s voice shook but he met Jared’s eyes unflinchingly. “I do love her. She belongs with me.”

Jared’s lip curled in disdain and he spoke slowly. “You’re a human you little fool, your limited life alone makes you unsuitable.” He glanced down at the female in disgust. “I thought it was a male named Michael she wanted…I think this little demon plays games.” He grabbed hold of Anna’s head again and lifted her off the floor. She instantly bucked her hips towards him causing his body to tighten painfully.

He turned slightly towards the human. “Unless it is your wish to witness me spreading her legs I suggest you do as I said earlier and Get the fuck out.”
To emphasize his point he took hold of the female’s waist and pulled her tightly against him then reached his hand up her shirt and squeezed her breast.

Austin made a choked sound and Will hauled him through the door, kicking it shut behind them.

“We can’t leave her with him,” Austin pleaded. “We have to do something!”

Will and Josh exchanged a look, their faces grim.

“I’m sorry man, I really am. But we can’t fight him.” Will put a hand on his shoulder.

Austin shook his head in denial but allowed the brothers to lead him off the porch. He looked back at the cabin once more before climbing into the car, cradling his shattered hand against his shattered heart.

Jared listened as the car sped away, staring at the female who had caused him more fucking trouble than anyone else in centuries. Her body was writhing and contorting in his arms and his whole being screamed for him to take her, but somehow he managed to separate himself for a moment.

He’d been yanked from sleep that morning by a mating call so fierce his entire body had responded violently. It had taken him a minute to comprehend what was happening and when it sunk in it was an enormous shock. She was not only a healer but a breeding female as well. Whoever had been protecting her had done a bang up job until recently.

He’d blurred across the states with single minded intensity, the need to get to her had overwhelmed him to the point that if he wasn’t moving in the direction his body was pulling him, he couldn’t move at all. It seemed when a male bonded and his female went into heat it produced a siren song with a fucking Satellite tracking signal.

It occurred to him if he had arrived just a little later their bond might have been broken. Broken by that weak dick pathetic excuse for a male.

He sifted through his feelings on the matter and was surprised to discover he no longer wanted to be rid of her. It seemed that he and It had merged. He wanted her, this little female troublemaker, his now. His to claim and to tame.

After she came out of heat he would find out about her past then take her to his home in Scotland and teach her how to behave.

She grabbed the front of his pants and his rigid cock jumped breaking up his thoughts. He made a guttural sound in his throat and moved her to the bed. He gripped her arms, pulling them up and pinning them above her head then climbed on top of her. She went straight for his neck and he allowed it, relishing the full body orgasm of her fangs sliding into him.
He let her drink for a full minute before pulling away and shedding his clothes, ripping hers off as well.

She was moaning incoherently, her eyes wild and flashing continuously. The scent of honey and vanilla filled the room. Her scent, his female’s scent.

He pushed inside of her tight wet shiva, pressing forward until he touched her womb. “Unnhh,” he breathed. The hair on his thighs stood on end and gooseflesh broke out all over him. One thrust and he was already on the edge, his need to spill so strong his abdomen clenched. Not yet, he commanded his eager cock. His hands were braced on either side of her head, sensation rippling up through his inner thighs and he mused that just being inside of her was more satisfying than any sex he’d had in centuries.
He slid back out slowly, stopping when just the tip of him was still inside. She pumped her hips up towards him impatiently and he groaned at the feel of her sliding up his shaft. Her beautifully delicate face was flushed with desire and he pressed his lips on hers in a bruising kiss, sucking her bottom lip into his mouth. She made a little sound of frustrated impatience and bucked her hips.

He broke the kiss and put his mouth near her ear, “Do you want me to fuck you?” he purred.

“Unnhh, ohhhhh,” she babbled.

“Tell me,” He commanded quietly.

She whimpered and he took hold of her chin. “TELL ME.”

“Yesssss.”

He thrust into her again, pulled back and stopped.

“Please!!” Her small hands grabbed at his waist and attempted to pull him towards her.

“Soft or hard?” he brushed her silky blonde hair from her face, wishing the golden light in her eyes would recede so he could stare into the dazzling blue.

“Hard!” she cried out and with that he drove into her over and over, taking her so violently the bed banged against the wall, their bodies coming together with satisfying slaps.

She screamed, her back bowing with the strength of her pleasure, her inner muscles spasming wildly and squeezing him hard enough to bring him over the edge. He threw his head back and roared at the ceiling as he ejaculated, pumping her full of his seed.

His breaths were coming out in pants and just when he thought it was over she bucked her hips once more and triggered another one.

“Ohh FUUUCKK!” he yelled as waves of pleasure washed over him, snaking down his thighs and back up to center in his flexing ass.

When he was fully spent he pulled his cock from her and replaced it with his mouth breathing in the honey vanilla arousal. Cupping her bottom with his large hands he thrust his tongue deep inside then pulled back out to lick her. She grabbed his head and whimpered as his tongue stroked her over and over until wetness poured into his mouth. She made mewling noises as she came again and by the time she was finished he had hardened once more and he flipped her over, sliding in from behind.

Her entrance was slick from her multiple releases and he thought nothing had ever felt as good as she did. Grasping her hips he pumped himself into her slowly at first and then faster and harder. The sight of her pretty little ass undulating was almost enough to bring him over the edge again and he ground his pelvis against it, groaning with the sweet torture of holding back. Her face was pressed down against the mattress muffling her cries and he grabbed her hair and forced her head back so he could hear her. When she tried to pull away he gave her bottom a hard slap in punishment. She cried out, but a fresh wave of her unique arousal told him the contact excited her.

His fangs dropped and he gathered more of her hair in his fist, turning her head to the side to expose her neck. “Mine,” he growled, and sank his fangs deep.
