Into Death's Arms (32 page)

    “I have a date.
I just stopped here on the way,
” I lied. I know I’m bad.
It’s wrong to lie
,
whatever.

   
Just like
that,
he dropped his human suit. His eyes glowed neon, his fangs slid forward, I swear his hair moved like a breeze was moving through it but we were inside.
His mouth slammed into mine. His tongue slid p
ast my lips. I moaned
,
I tried
hard not to but the man knew how to kiss.
I’d kill him Macyn. If you were really meeting with some man I would sink my fangs into his throat and tear
it
from his body. Then I would take you over his corpse.
Eww, I probably would have gagged at the imagery if he
weren’t
devouring me with his mouth. 
You are my AoD I will not share!

   
Am not!
I thought back at him. Denial wasn’t really working with my hands sliding under his shirt like they were.
This is just physical attraction
,
I demanded.
God his skin was so warm.
He felt so good, so hard and smooth.

   
Is it?
He asked,
Prove it to me
,
AoD
,
make love to me.
If I am not your AoLi you could just walk away, right?
He pled as he cupped my ass
and
pressed his erection into me. I moaned again. God help me
,
I was tempted.

   I dragged in a deep breath and wiggled against him.
You know I can’t.
Was I ripping the buttons on his shirt
free?
God help me.
My brain seemed to be stuck on the same thought while my body was on autopilot.
His mouth left mine and slid across my throat.

    He held me against him with one hand and unlaced the corset I was wearing with the other. He held my entire body in one hand, how sexy was that?
“Let me taste you,
”
h
e growled against my neck and slid his hand under the corset.
H
is hand
moved
along my bare back.
The corset slipped down a little
,
exposing just a smidge more of my breasts.
“Plea
se,
” I
had
to admit I liked hearing the man beg.

   
“
No way
,
”
I gasped.
I wanted to say yes.
I wanted so badly to say yes. Yes to the sex, yes to the bite, yes to everything he wanted of me.

   “
God
,
Macyn
,
give me something,
”
h
e whimpered. “Stop torturing me.”

   I thought about that for a minute. I had dressed to entice him deliberately. Was I torturing him? Hell, I felt tortured.
I was hot and achy and thought about him at the most inappropriate times.
Maybe I was torturing both of us.
Who knew I was such a sadist, fuck
who knew I was such a masochist?

 
Just a little… just a taste I needed something to ground myself in..
His
bite it would hurt because I wasn’t a
Vamp
ire
and I wasn’t
human. That would prove to me, prove to him,
and prove
to us both that he was not my AoLi.
I found myself
nodding yes. “Yes what my love,
” he asked.
His voice had dropped to a mere whisper and h
e was trembling just slightly
,
anticip
ation will do that to a body.
The thought of my blood flowing through his veins my AoD blood keeping him strong
,
I liked
that. 
It was wrong but I liked it. 

   
I took a shaky breath. “Bite me,
” I breathed.
I braced myself ready for unmatched pain.

    He didn’t have to be told twice he sank his fangs into my throat.
I whimpered.

 
 
I
t
was no
t
a whimper of pain. He slammed me
into the wall behind us and thrust against me while sucking greedily. My entire
world centered on his hot
wet
mouth and the place where our lower bodies
brushed.
His bite was, orgasmic. Was that a real w
ord? I’d never used it before.
I’d never felt it before. He thrust again and I had to gasp, my head fell back
as far as the wall would let it go
. He increased pace
with
both the
sucking and thrusting. “Dayton,” I hissed
rather loudly.

  
He thrust and ground himself again
st me at the same time. “Dayton,
” I screamed as I climaxed.
He thrust twice more and tensed. He tore his mouth from my neck and screamed his own release.
My blood on his lips as the sound tore itself from somewhere in his chest.

    His head fell to rest on the wall
beside my face
. “Damn Macyn,” he breathed. His voice full of awe, the kind of thing you usually reserved for watching a miracle. If a tornado had torn through San Fran, I would use that tone.

    I nodded helplessly. What could I say? I felt too good to complain.

    “Every time I think I have you figured out you surprise me.” He chuckled and shook his head. “I’ve got to change.”
He slowly moved away from the tangle of our bodies.
I had to force myself to let him move away I wanted to cling to him. This was bad.

I was in over my head.

That was supposed to hurt.

It hadn’t.
Why was that?

    I nodded again and rubbed my neck where he’d bitten me. Oh, God even that felt good. “Is… is a
Vamp
ire
bite always like that? My dad said once that
he’d been bitten
and it hurt like hell. That certainly didn’t hurt.”

    He smiled
I could see just a little of my blood
on his lips, I shuddered again.
“
I am not giving the AoD any more information about my species than she already has.”
He moved further into the apartment, from the little antechamber type room to a massive closet.

     I leaned around the wall still unwilling to move. What, it was my first non-self induced orgasm? I was still a little weak. I heard him shuffling around in the clo
set. “How else am I gonna learn,
” I asked
plaintively.
Baiting him again, I thought I’d lost my mind.

   I could hear him chuckling. He came back out dressed in a pair of tailored black dress pants no shirt, no
shoes. “You destroyed my shirt,” h
e pouted.
The man did seem to have a thing for nice clothes not that I was complaining he looked damn good in those clothes.

   “You didn’t complain at the time.” I was still leaning against the wall. “I am supposed to tear you apart. Instead I let you bite me and you’re complaining about your wardrobe.” I stuck my lower lip out in a little pout. God I felt sexy. I’d never felt sexy before.

    He moved forward in a blur. One moment he was standing by the closet
,
the
next,
he had me in his arms. I was pressed against that delectable bare chest. His AoLi tattoo glowed. “I
liked biting you,” he admitted.
“I want to do it again
,
but the next t
ime
,
I want you naked beneath me,” h
e breathed.

    Oh my, I thought there was an image that’ll stick with a girl. I wasn’t sure what I had to say about that but my
cell phone
rang so I didn’t have to think about it too hard. “Mace,” I breathed into the phone. I seemed to have oxygenation problems with Dayton pressed against my body talking about having me naked.

     “Where are y
ou? Who is the man at the house,
”
my dad asked.

     Umm talk about your uncomfortable conversations to make things worse Dayton had realized my corset had come down and was taking full advantage. He pulled it further down and ran his tongue along my nipple. I arched against him unable to speak.
Didn’t you just change?
I asked mentally taking short gasping br
eaths. “I’m doing some research,
” I answered my father. I was really. I learned stuff today. Dayton Tameron’s mouth felt like heaven. See learned stuff.

     “And the man,
”
he asked again.
Yeah, focus is good. Nearly impossible when you have the most beautiful man in the northern hemisphere tonguing you but there you have it.
I didn’t want to answer his question
. Umm think, think, God how could I think with Dayton doing that? I glared at him. Amusement danced in his
eyes, bastard.
Vamp
iric bastard.

     I tried to shove him away but it is hard to push away a determined
Vamp
ire
when you really didn’t want to hurt him. “He is being hunted by
Shifters
and I thought I should let him stay with us.” I answered ha; it was an honest answer even.

     “How do you know him?
How do you know he’s not a spy,
” his voice was hard.

     Umm, “He was a friend of moms. She introduced me to him when I was little.” I answered, that was the truth too.

    I heard a
grunt on the other side. “Iris,
” it was a question. I felt the pain behind it. I felt terrible for him.

    Dayton nipped that nipple he’d been lathing. I yelped. He laughed, damn that
Vamp
ire
.

    “What the hell was that,
” my dad asked.

    “Nothing…” I lied this time and hated myself a little for it but what was I going to say, dad I know you said stay away from Tameron but I let him bite me then we…yeah, I wasn’t going there.

    Stop it, I mouthed at him. 
He looked
up at me with
mischief-filled
eyes and shook his head no.
I’ll tell him where I really am
,
I threatened.

    He
shrugged;
it will take him
hours
to get here from Peru. He answered.

    I rolled my eyes at
him. “What are you researching,
” my dad asked me.

    How to answer that one without lying to dad, hmmm, “
Vamp
ires
and
Shifters
mostly, I’ve been precoging a lot of
Shifter
attacks in my future. That Kins
ley guy really doesn’t like you,
” I announced.

    He laughed. “Yeah, I know that. I took something he really wanted from him.” His voice was soft reminiscent.

    “Yeah mom,” I said without realizing it.

     I could hear the surprise in his vo
ice. “You have been researching,” h
e sounded impressed.

    “It’s a lot easier to learn things when y
ou aren’t here to protect me fro
m everything.” I said I sounded a little bitter.
 
Well hell, I was a little bitter so it was okay.

     He let out a long sigh. “I know kiddo. When I get back I’ll be more careful to treat you like a grown up now, okay?”

     “Okay,
” I agreed like we’d
just made a deal or something. Of course I wasn’t even sure he’d want to speak to me when he returned
,
that thought hurt. I always known I was his whole world it had never occurred to me before just how much of my world consisted of Caden
Reece
. I looked down at
Dayton
as he
caressed my belly just above the rim of my jeans and looked up at me again with that mischievous grin.

    I felt my eyes widen and I shook my head no. He so wasn’t listening because he slipped the button free
and started in on the zipper.
I smacked at his hands in a pa
nic.
I wasn’t letting him undress me hadn’t I already said I wasn’t going to sleep with him? I didn’t even know why I’d let him bite me. What was happening to me?
“Dad
dy,
I gotta go,
” I said in a slightly startled voice.
