The Rogue Hunter's Mate [Paranormal Protection Unit 10] (Siren Publishing Classic) (21 page)

Shifting, he reached back to hook his arm around her waist and lifted her up and around to straddle his lap. “I’m fully erect, Bethany. I have been since you started rubbing my back and my mind got to thinking about how wonderful it was when you rubbed my aching cock.”

Bethany couldn’t help but grin down at him. Bracing her hands on his shoulders, she eased herself down on him. Leaning in she whispered against his lips, “Will we always be this much in need? I swear it’s like someone has flipped a switch inside of me and I don’t want it to ever be turned off.”

“It’s bad the first month but after that it calms a little, though the driving need is always still there. Just not so much that we’ll tear each other’s clothing off if we merely look at one another. Around that point it’s safe for us to be out in public again, too, since we’re in more control.”

“That’s good.” She eased more on him and sighed. “I think we should take that month off. I have nothing to do. Do you have anything to do?” she asked with a smile. “Because I really and truly think that you and I should be naked together often, every moment of every single day if possible.”

“I have to work unfortunately, little one.” He breathed out against her neck. “Rogues don’t terrorize on a schedule,” he pointed out, lifting her up and letting her slide back down over his cock. “But other than that I’m more than willing to run around naked just so that I can fuck you any chance I get.”

“I love that idea so very, very much.” To be able to fuck him at any given time. Hell yes! “Well anytime we can, I say that we fuck like bunnies,” she told him and moved harder on him. Leaning in with her forehead to his, she bit her lower lip. “God I love the way that your cock feels when you hit me so deep inside.”

“You’re a tiny little thing, darling.” And he had a few good genes obviously. “You wrap around me so tight I’m always a little worried I’ll hurt you.” But he loved the tight grip of her soft flesh as she held onto him deep inside.

“Never,” Bethany assured him and moved on him with a grin. “Zaidu, I know that you would never, ever hurt me. Even subconsciously, you would never hurt me. I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt, even when we make love, or any other endeavor.”

“I know it logically, up in the forefront of my mind, but there’s this little voice that always warns me to take care with you,” he murmured against her throat as he licked up a drop of water from her collarbone. “You are tiny, Bethany, and I’m not exactly a small or gentle man.” Not given all he’d had to survive. “I just want you to have the best of everything.”

“And I do have the best of everything.” She leaned in and brushed her lips to his. “I know that you aren’t small or gentle but with me you are gentle. You are everything, Zaidu, and I couldn’t be happier that I was blessed with you as mine.”

“I try,” he admitted, nibbling on her lip lightly. “For you I’ve found I will do absolutely anything, Bethany.” Hell, she’d somehow gotten him to admit his love for her. She’d somehow gotten him to love her and that, that really scared him.

That had her smiling and she nodded. “I know, honey.” She brushed her lips to his again. “However, right now I really, really want my Wolf to come out and play. Make love to me, Zaidu. No more talking, love me.”

“Forever,” he promised and then took her mouth for a kiss as he helped her to move on him for a time. It wasn’t enough though, so he lifted her off and turned her, placing her hands on the edge, and slid into her from behind. Bending over her, he slammed into her as he stroked her clit with rough fingers and nipped at her shoulder.

“God, yes.” Her legs spread further to give him more room and she held on to the edge of the tub. Pushing back against him she arched her back as he pushed in and out of her body. She didn’t give a flying fuck about the water that sloshed around them, only him. “More.” Her hand moved down to touch his over her clit and she whimpered, “Please.”

Lacing their fingers, he used one of hers and one of his to stroke her hard. Slamming into her as hard as he was, they were sending water everywhere. Clamping his teeth on her shoulder, he held her as he pushed in deeper, faster, flexing his cock each time he reached her womb.

She loved when he bit her, when he went wild, and her screams told that very story. She clenched on him tightly, her body gripping his tightly and she exploded in pure and brilliant pleasure. Screaming his name, her legs trembled but she held on. God she held on!

Exploding inside of her, he growled deep, his hold on her shoulder tightening slightly as the knot locked him deep. Closing his eyes for a moment when she squeezed him so tight he was sure his cock would break in half, Z let her shoulder go. Groaning softly, he pulled her up with him as he sat back on his heels in the tub, one hand between her legs, the other just under her breast.

Her hand was still twisted with his and a happy smile was on her face. “God that was amazing.” She gasped in great gulps. “I think we will always, always have to think about where we are when we make love, especially if we have to be quiet at all.”

“Well since there’s no knocks on the door yet I’m going to assume they know we’re just making love and I’m not killing you. Though I don’t mind killing you with pleasure,” he whispered, nipping at her ear lightly.

She laughed at that and nodded. “I don’t mind it at all either.” Thank God that the hotel was as well soundproofed as it was! “Goodness, if you are going to be like this after every mission I might just have to invent some for us to play with, darling.”

“I’ll only ever be this way if you’re with me after a mission,” he said quietly. “You’re the only one that makes me burn and want everything, Bethany. You make me hunger and crave and want.” Zaidu brushed his lips to her neck.

“Well, since I fully intend on being with you on every single mission I think that we will be good.” Closing her eyes, Bethany leaned against him and sighed. “I am so very happy, Zaidu. I know that I haven’t told you that yet but I am. I’m very happy here with you with me.”

“I’m glad,” he told her. “Though you do know that not every mission will go like this. There will be some where I’m out for days and you’re on your own in a hotel room in some strange city. This one was quick but others are most definitely not.”

“I will become friends with room service and wait for you.” She would likely not eat a bite while he was gone but that was neither here nor there. “I want to be with you, Zaidu. Every step of every move in our lives we are forever joined and should be forever together.”

“And we will be,” he told her, slipping from her body when his cock softened enough to do so. Easing back, he settled her between his legs. “We’ll wash up and get out. The food should be coming up soon, and since it’s all good grub and I’m starving, we really don’t want to miss it.”

“I happen to agree.” She moved back from him. “Come on, love, let’s get out, get dried off, and then we will get ourselves semidressed so that we can eat.” She was starving now, very much so. “Seems as if I’m hungry for your body and also for food at a super killer level, darlin’.”

“Well we have been working out rather healthily, my mate. It would stand to reason you’d need to recharge the cells between rounds,” he said as he shut off the jets. Washing quickly he rinsed off and stood up, stepping out in one move. Grabbing a towel, he draped it around his waist and picked up another for her as she pulled the stopper and stood.

“This is true.” She stepped out and into the towel that he held out for her. She smiled. “Thank you, honey,” she said happily and looked up at him. “And yeah, we have been working out a great deal. I swear I don’t think I will ever need a gym membership because we work off far more calories than I will ever eat in a given day being together,” she teased.

“And you always will,” he told her, rubbing her dry slowly. “We’ll have to ensure you are getting enough calories and all the nutrients you need. Sex with one of us is always boisterous and highly energetic, but that’s not something we need to worry about right away.”

“I’m a vegetarian as well so we will have to balance that part out.” She took a seat on the couch and waited for him to bring the food in when the knock came to the door. “What will happen if we have children? Will I have to eat meat during the pregnancy?” If so, she would likely be ill all the freaking time.

“You’ll likely crave it,” he told her honestly. Shrugging into a robe, he went to collect the food and tipped the waiter but didn’t let him in. Shutting and locking the door he rolled the cart deeper into the room and toward her. “We’ll just have to find ways to substitute the craving for the meat with something that your body will accept and understand is the same, or close enough to fool it.”

“We will cross that bridge when we come to it, right?” Bethany smiled up at him and tugged him closer. “Do you even want children?” she asked quietly. “You didn’t even want a bond-mate, so would you even consider children at all?”

“I don’t know,” he told her as he sat down. Looking at her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders to hold her close. “I’ve never thought about kids. We were always told that we should avoid it at all costs. The likelihood of giving birth to a Hunter is too great. It’s supposed to be random, the genes popping up wherever they are meant to, no forethought or planning. I think.” Zaidu fell silent a moment. “Maybe one day,” he admitted very quietly.

“Maybe one day in the very far future. Right now, Zaidu, I’m just very happy to be with you. Right now, with all that we have to go through yet with Brian and ensuring that he’s brought to justice and all of your duties, right now I like it just being us.”

It was safer, too. Hugging her close he pressed a kiss to her temple. “I like it being just us for the moment, too. But when you want to change that you let me know,” he told her quietly. Leaning forward, he lifted the lids off the plates and handed her the omelet before taking his steak, cooked through, with the eggs, bacon, and various other items on the plate.

She was more than happy being just with him. She might want children later in life but honestly right now, she was more than perfectly happy having no one in her life except for Zaidu. Taking the omelet from him, she smiled. “Thank you, darling.”

“You are welcome.” He smiled back a little and set his plate on the coffee table so he could cut it. Slicing a chunk off the steak, he chewed it happily and slowly. The Wolf calmed down at the taste of real meat, high-end meat no less.

She couldn’t watch him eating the meat. Just the thought of bloody meat made her sick to her stomach. In order to solve her issue with eating with him she simply turned away slightly so she only saw him and ate happily.

Reaching out, Z stroked a hand up her leg lightly. “It’s cooked all the way through, Beth,” he told her softly. “I know you, remember?” he said, looking to her. “I would never willingly do anything to make you uncomfortable, little mate.”

“Thank you, honey. I know that.” She sighed and shook her head. “It’s just a reflex. I’ve had friends who forget that I can’t do meats in my life and I’ve had to learn how to keep myself slightly turned so that I don’t see it.”

Leaning over, he pressed a kiss to her cheek. “They weren’t me, little mate,” he murmured, rubbing his nose to her cheek lightly. Dropping another quick kiss to her shoulder, he eased back and ate as he watched her from the corner of his eye.

That had her smiling happily and she leaned into him as well. “I love you, too, Zaidu. Thank you, honey. Very much thank you.” For being him, for loving her the way that only he could love her. “You are my everything, darling.”

Pressing into her a little, Z rested his cheek to her hair. “Thank you for that,” he said quietly. She was always so giving, so generous of nature, and she’d given him absolutely everything. She’d given her love, her trust, her heart, her soul, and her body.

Winking at him, Bethany bumped her shoulder to his. “Now then, eat, darling. Finish your eating and I’m going to finish mine,” she teased him and moved so that she could touch her knee to his, needing to touch him and feel his presence at her side.

“You’d better finish. You need the calories,” he told her honestly. “I plan on working you out for a few more hours before we have to head home.” And they would be leaving soon enough but since they had the private jet again the pilot was a little more flexible with the departure time for their return flight.

That had her laughing and she winked. “Good,” she said. “And I plan on finishing, darling. I totally want the calories because we both need to be able to come together time and time and time again because we both want to have as much activity as possible.”

“And you do have half a pizza for later if you need more juice,” he pointed out, sticking another piece of the beef in his mouth to chew. Winking at her he chewed happily on the meat and swallowed happily.

“Oh yes, there is that.” She grinned. “I happen to love that as well. I will eat all that I can just so that we can have a good time later, darling, and if I have to I will take the pizza with me on the plane. For now though…” She finished her omelet and sighed. “For now, darling, I want to simply relax and then have you take me to bed.”

“Glad to know you’re on the same page as I am,” he told her, scooping up some eggs, sausage, and a bit of pancake. He loved breakfast, favorite meal of the day, no restrictions, and usually the only meal of the day that he didn’t get interrupted.

She watched him eating and couldn’t help but smile. He was so free with his emotions in that moment that it brought her breath up short. “I love the fact that you look so peaceful, so calm. I wish you had that look on your face more often, darling.”

Shooting her a look, Zaidu shrugged. “Pretty much the only time I have when I can relax is when I’m eating. And even then it’s borrowed time on a lot of days since I am running from one place to another on a hunt.”

“I’m so sorry, honey. I wish that there was something I could do in order to ensure that you had nothing but happiness and joy and that your life wasn’t as hectic as it is, but all I can do is just simply be there with you and for you when you need me.”
