Warrior's Mate (4 page)

Her gaze skittered away from the bed when he took a
step closer, then her eyes widened as his wings retracted into his back, and
the onyx color of his body once again changed to dark stripes on his golden
skin. When his eyes shifted from red back to a dark amber color, he was just a
warrior again. A huge, hard-bodied, sinfully sexy warrior, with an enormous
erection that seemed to be doing its best to poke right through his leather
pants.

Christ, stop looking there!

Watching his shift had been amazing, but it was also a
reality check for her.

He wasn’t human, and she was totally fucked.

CHAPTER FOUR

“What are you?”

Kadan frowned at her question. “You don’t know?”

“No, I don’t know! How the hell would I know? I woke
up in a cell with these—” Jordan lifted her hands to show him the shackles
still binding her hands, “—on my fucking wrists, then I was dragged out into
that arena where you attacked me.”

He felt a wave of discomfort at her accusation. Kadan
had felt such an overpowering need to claim her that he hadn’t been able to
stop himself from going after her. And that lack of control was very unusual
for him. He’d needed to give her the mating bite, to bind them together and
take what was his. Still, he didn’t like seeing the fear in her eyes, nor did
he like seeing her in chains.

 “I scented you the moment I entered the coliseum, and
knew you were my mate. I didn’t mean to frighten you, but now it is done. You
are mine.”

“You keep saying that, but I don’t even know what that
means!”

That gave him pause. “You don’t have mates on your
world?”

“No! And where the hell are we? What world is this? Wait…you
scented me? This is crazy. I’m crazy. People don’t just sprout wings and carry
women off. Shit, that’s it. I really died, and this is all just some fucking up
dream. You’re a demon, right? Does that mean I’m in hell?”

His frown deepened. “Your language is atrocious.”

She glared back at him. “I’m having a breakdown here,
I think I’m entitled to swear.”

Kadan couldn’t help it. He laughed. His new mate was a
delight to him, even if she did ask too many questions and swore worse than any
of his warriors. He was proud of the fact that even though she was terrified,
she didn’t fall at his feet in tears. He didn’t care for the acrid scent of her
fear, though. He would try to answer her questions and put her at ease, but he
didn’t have much time. When he had bitten her, he had injected her with his own
scent marker to claim her.

That bite would also trigger her heat, and she would
need him soon.

“You’re not dead. I am King Kadan Krell, leader of the
Vor. The Wraiths brought you here to Vor because you were destined to be my
mate. We are a shifter race with heightened senses, which allows me to smell
your emotions.” His voice lowered as he said, “I can also smell that your heat
is beginning. Explanations will have to wait.”

Her bright green eyes went wide. “Heat? Oh my God, did
you infect me with something when you bit me?”

“My bite bound us together, and will trigger your
heat.” Silence filled the room for two beats before he added, “From the look on
your face and the scent of your fear, I’m guessing your people don’t go into
heat.”

“No, we don’t.”

“You do now.”

Jordan was about to ask what he meant by that when a
wave of heat punched through her so hard she almost doubled over. Before she
could fall to her knees, Kadan had her in his arms, holding her up. Her hands
gripped his arms as the muscles in her stomach slowly unclenched. Panting, she
waited for the pain to ease.

“What…the…fuck?”

Kadan brushed the hair back from her face gently. “It
has begun.”

“Can you make it stop?”

“There is only one way to do that. You need my seed
inside you.”

Jordan’s eyes closed as another wave of heat flashed
through her at the thought of him filling her. She’d just met him, now she was
expected to have sex with him? Jordan had never been casual about sleeping with
anyone. Okay, she’d had a few one-night stands in the past, but this was
something beyond anything she’d ever had to deal with before. She was mated to
the leader of a race of aliens she’d never heard of, and now she needed to fuck
him to stop the pain he’d caused by biting her and bonding them together?

Fucking fantastic.

“All will be well, mate,” Kadan assured her, then he let
out one of those rumbling purrs.

Damn it, why did her body seem to react every time he
did that? “Stop that!”

“No, you like it. You’re in pain, and I won’t wait any
longer to have you.”

Her eyes popped opened as he jerked her body closer to
him, surrounding her with his strength. His muscular arms banded around her
waist, and she melted into him. The feel of his body against hers made the heat
inside her even worse. She should have fought it, but was mortified when she
found herself rubbing against him instead.

She cried out in pleasure at the feeling of his warm
skin against hers. The sound was captured by his lips as they slammed down on
hers. Fire exploded in her belly on another wave of heat, making her moan. His
kiss was vicious, demanding her surrender as his tongue pushed deep, caressing
and stroking hers.

Jordan felt her very soul shudder.

God, he felt good pressed against her. She breathed
him in, wanting to take his scent deep into her lungs. His scent intoxicated
her, and the taste of him made her crave more. Her heart pounded in her chest,
and blood roared in her ears as desire burst through her like an explosion. Hard
hands gripped her tight, one on her hip while the other pulled at her hair,
forcing her head back so he could take the kiss deeper.

Lust was a living, breathing entity inside her. Like a
great beast that was unfurling inside her, taking over until her body was no
longer her own. His strong hands moved over her, cupping her breasts, pinching
her nipples lightly. It sent a jolt through her system, straight down to her
clit, making it throb and pulse.

Madness clouded her mind, blurring her vision until
all that existed in her world was him. Inhibitions blown to hell, it didn’t
matter that she didn’t know him. She couldn’t even make herself give a shit
that he shifted into some sort of flying demon. Her need for him was like a
fever, burning her from the inside out. It was a brutal ache that needed to be
sated. Her pussy clenched hard, demanding satisfaction as her juices slickened
her thighs with her desire for him.

Rubbing against him wasn’t enough, she wanted more.

She needed him inside her…right now.

Mouths still fused together, her hands were rough as
they clawed down his body until they were tugging at the waist of his leather
pants. Frustration made her growl as she yanked at them, unable to find the
fastenings to take them off of him. Giving up, she pressed her hand against his
cock through the material, squeezing tight so she felt the hot, hard length of
him throbbing against her palm.

Tearing his mouth away from hers, Kadan let out a low,
feral growl of hunger. It thrilled her to hear the answering call to her fierce
need. Suddenly, he ripped the thin dress she was wearing off her, then went to
work on his own clothes. His movements were hampered as she tried to wrap
around him, clinging to him like a vine as her hot mouth sucked and licked at
every inch of his flesh she could get to.

“Jordan,” he gasped. “Fucking hell, let me…”

Jordan didn’t care about what he was saying as he
tried to remove his boots and pants without toppling them both to the ground.
All she could focus on was the taste and scent of him as she used her tongue to
trace down the thick black lines covering his torso. He had no body hair, nothing
to get in the way of her mouth on his smooth, golden skin as she feasted on
him. She thought she heard a groaning laugh escape his lips, but she didn’t
care, not when she was busy using her teeth to scrape against the flesh
covering all the hard muscles on his broad chest.

She’d always been attracted to big, well-built men, but
she’d never seen anyone quite like him. He was utterly magnificent. Powerful
and strong, she loved the feel of his muscles flexing as he moved. Running her
hands down his abs, she traced every ridge and dip, moving lower until she gripped
his cock.

He was so large she needed both hands to rub up and
down the thick stalk, then she moved one of her hands lower to cup his large
balls. Somewhere in the back of her mind was relief to find that he was formed
like a human, then came the slight worry at how much bigger he actually was
than anyone she’d ever been with before.

Christ, would he even fit inside her?

Just thinking about that big, beautiful cock moving
inside of her made her shiver. All thoughts and worries dissipated like a puff
of smoke as she continued to touch him. Fascinated by the huge, bulbous head of
his cock, she ran her finger over it, then cupped it in the center of her palm.
It was bigger and rounder than a human male’s, and she wanted to taste the
copious fluid leaking from the tip.

But she wanted it inside her more.

Another flash of fire raced through her so strong it
had her entire body tensing. Her knees buckled again, but before she could hit
the ground, he swept her up into his arms. In a few long strides, he had them
over by the bed, where he shoved her face down. She was draped over the end
with her legs dangling toward the ground. Furious at the position he’d placed
her in, she tried to flip over, but he held her down with one hand on the
center of her back.

“You are mine, Jordan.”

“Shut up, damn you, and just fuck me!”

“I will, mate. As soon as you admit that you belong to
me.”

She let out a scream of rage and tried to slap at him,
her legs kicking out at him. The scream turned into a moan as he parted her
thighs and shoved two large fingers into her hot pussy. She was wet, so slick
with her need that he entered her with ease. The feel of his fingers pushing
through her tight muscles was amazing, and her hips immediately began rocking,
trying to shove them deeper inside her where she needed it.

“So wet and tight,” he growled harshly. “This is mine.
This is my pussy, mate. You are mine! Tell me, now!”

Hunger clawed at her, brutally tearing through her
system until she was writhing beneath him. She needed this, needing him filling
her where she was empty and aching. Her pussy clenched around him, trying to
hold his fingers inside her as he pulled them out.

No!

He couldn’t leave her, not when she was so close to
coming. Speech was beyond her now, and she couldn’t help the whimper that
escaped her parted lips.

“Need…”

His voice softened as he crooned, “Don’t worry, little
one. I’ll give you what you need.”

Kadan kicked her feet apart, spreading her
wider for him, then he let out a rumbling purr as his large body covered her
back. His weight pressed her down into the bed, holding her in place, and his
large hands pushed under her so he could cup her breasts.

Leaning down, he kissed the side of her
face as she felt the large, rounded head of his cock press against the entrance
of her dripping pussy. Her hands dug into the bedcover, gripping tight as he surged
inside of her, pushing the thick stalk in, filling her more than she’d ever
been filled before.

Her body tried to resist him, unused to
being stretched around something so large, but the pinch of pain only increased
the intensity of her pleasure. Needing more, she tried to push back on him, but
he restricted her movements with his massive body, holding her beneath him. She
heard an animalistic growl as she fought his control, and was surprised when
she realized that the sound came from her own throat.

She wanted that cock moving inside her,
driving deep, but he remained still, fully embedded in her. He was so big she
could feel his heartbeat through the thick length of him, and she squeezed her
pussy around him as punishment for not giving her what she wanted.

Kadan let out his own fierce growl of
reprimand as he gave a few testing strokes inside her. She was tight, and could
feel every ridge of the veins on his cock slide against the inner walls of her
pussy. The slow, teasing movements drove her crazy, and she turned her head to
bite his forearm. He let out a wild roar, then started thrusting hard, spearing
her to the hilt with his cock.

A raw scream tore from her throat as her
body exploded in a hard, brutal climax after a few more of his hard thrusts.
Her body simply shattered, but it wasn’t enough to quench the firestorm still
raging inside her. Never pausing, Kadan continued to shove himself deep, using
a hard, punishing rhythm to drive her up again, pushing her past her limits.

“Again. You will come again before I fill
you.”

Just the sound of his deep voice almost
pushed Jordan over the edge again. She felt his hot mouth against her neck,
then felt the rough scrap of his tongue against the smooth skin between her
shoulder blades as he continued to pound himself into her.
With each thrust, his large balls slapped against her
clit, and after a few more strokes, she came again.

Desperate hands tore at the bedcover as her body
bucked beneath his. Kadan never let up, continuing to fuck her through her
release, ruthlessly pushing her toward another shattering climax before the
last had faded. Her body was so sensitive, it was almost painful to feel his
skin pressed against her now, and the burning in her belly seemed to expand
until she felt like she would burst into flames.
