The NightMan (15 page)

“Harder!”
She
cried
as
her
body
squirmed
underneath
him.

His
dark
heavy
eyebrows
rose.
“Caitlin?”

Caitlin’s
fingers
dug
into
his
arms,
her
fingernails
pierced
into
his
flesh.
The
smell
of
her
virgin
blood
swirled
around
his
senses.
Her
body
slammed
up
to
meet
his.
Adriel’s
mind
swirled
with
pleasure.
For
once
in
his
life,
he
had
found
his
soul
mate!
Caitlin
was
truly
his.

“Harder.”
She
cried
out
again.

Finally
he
gave
into
the
passion
which
raged
inside
of
him.
Shifting
again,
he
pulled
her
hips
tighter
against
his.
His
mind
slipped
away.

Heat
flamed
over
Caitlin
again,
and
her
fevered
body
trembled.
Her
mouth
opened
only
to
find
his
again,
covering
the
cries
as
she
exploded
inside.

Adriel’s
body
tensed.
It
was
now
or
never,
he
thought.
The
pressure
built
inside
of
him
as
her
body
tightened
around
him.
He
fought
hard
with
her,
pulling
himself
out
of
her
only
to
thrust
harder
and
deeper
inside.
She
came
as
a
rush
fell
over
him
and
he
exploded
wildly
inside
of
her.
It
was
over,
and
he
knew
what
was
next.

The
beautiful
blue
eyes
gleamed
with
pleasure
as
Caitlin
looked
lovingly
into
his
face.
Adriel
marveled
at
her
beauty
once
again.
He
leaned
forward
and
softly
took
her
lips
with
his.
His
heart
leaped
in
joy.
He
knew
in
that
moment
Caitlin
loved
him
more
than
he
ever
imagined.

Adriel
lay
helpless
in
Caitlin’s
loving
arms.
His
strong
arms
encamped
around
her,
sheltering
her
in
the
warmth
of
his
hot
body.
He
had
never
seen
such
pleasure
in
one
woman’s
eyes.
She
truly
desired
him.
He
waited,
giving
her
a
moment
to
allow
her
breathing
to
return
back
to
normal
before
he
spoke.

“Adriel?”
Caitlin
spoke
softly.
“I
have
one
question
for
you.”

“What
is
that
my
love?”
His
deep
voice
rumbled
softly.

“Why
do
they
call
you
the
NightMan?”

Adriel
took
a
deep
breath
and
exhaled
slowly,
he
knew
it
was
time
she
knew
the
truth.
If
she
truly
was
what
the
legends
proclaimed,
then
she
would
end
his
torture.
He
had
to
trust
his
heart.

“Many
years
ago,
my
people
were
a
race
that
was
feared
by
many.
We
were
not
harmful
creatures.
Only
to
those
who
attacked
us.
We
lived
quietly
and
peacefully
amongst
the
humans.

“It
wasn’t
until
someone
who
was
involved
with
one
of
us
found
out
the
truth.
Lillian,
an
ancestor
of
mine
fell
in
love
with
one
of
the
local
villagers.
He
was
a
young
and
handsome
man
named
Tiberius,
from
what
I
was
told.”
Adriel
shifted
again
as
he
felt
Caitlin’s
hips
wiggling
against
his,
snuggling
herself
closer
to
him.

“Lillian
kept
the
secret
hidden
from
Tiberius
for
as
long
as
she
could.
She
was
warned
about
falling
in
love
with
humans.
The
relationships
always
ended
badly.
I
suppose
they
were
not
too
surprised
when
Tiberius
proposed
to
Lillian,
swearing
his
love
to
her
for
eternity.
She
didn’t
realize
his
promise
would
soon
be
broken.

“When
Lillian
told
Tiberius
the
truth
of
what
she
really
was
he
was
mortified.
He
quickly
dismissed
Lillian
and
their
love
affair
ended
abruptly.
It
wasn’t
long
before
he
went
to
the
village
locals
and
proclaimed
her
as
a
witch.
He
had
witnessed
first-hand
her
evil
spell.

“Lillian’s
father
was
outraged
when
a
group
of
crazed
villagers
and
local
farmers
came
looking
for
her.
He
hid
his
daughters
deep
in
a
mountain
cave
and
promised
he
would
take
care
of
it.

“It
was
a
full
moon
that
night.
The
three
sisters
huddled
inside
of
a
cave
not
knowing
whether
or
not
their
father
would
return.
Lillian
was
distraught
and
was
not
thinking
when
she
left
her
two
sisters
to
find
her
father.

“The
crazed
group
of
villagers
was
not
willing
to
hear
her
father’s
story.
They
proclaimed
him
a
witch
as
well,
captured
him
and
tied
him
to
stake.
If
he
wouldn’t
tell
him
the
location
of
his
daughters
then
they
were
going
to
burn
him
alive.
