Cambion Lord (Dark Warrior Alliance #23) - Brenda Trim Page 0,51

as he looked at her. Pain flashed briefly in his depths before his face went blank. “You’re the most beautiful female alive and I want to kiss you…everywhere. My beast needs to be fed so I can heal and hunt down the Daeva that hurt you.”

Chloe should say no and walk the fuck away right now. Being with him would only confuse matters. She turned him down gently. Problem was the mere idea of him being intimate with someone else had her claws coming out. He told her he was hers and there would never be anyone else for him.

She liked the idea of that far too much which is why she had to walk away from him now. He might feel that way now, but he was a hybrid that fed off sexual energy. He would find another.

Her heart felt like a knife was lodged inside the organ. Don’t leave without having more of him. That wasn’t a good idea. She needed to tell him no and finish getting dressed. That’s not what came out of her mouth. “Your dark side won’t know what hit him when I’m finished with you. And for the record, I can fight my own battles.”

Dante closed the distance between them. His chest ached and his mind kept trying to derail the moment. She’d rejected him and was going to leave him high and dry. Not right now! Fuck her first then deal with the rest.

That sounded like a plan to him. Smiling, he stopped scant inches away from her and tried to get his libido under control. He was close to the edge and the pain from his mate mark was worsening with every passing moment. He’d heard stories, but nothing could prepare him for the agony and the erection that refused to go away.

“You’re one of the most lethal I’ve ever known. You could kick my ass with one hand tied behind your back, but I need to avenge you. But, let’s table that for now.” He ran the back of one hand across her cheek and watched her pupils dilate.

Her scent intensified, filling the space between them. The sweet scent of caramelized vanilla and verbena was unique and undeniable. Her hands gripped the hem of her top and she tugged it down, as if that would stem her reaction to him.

“My kind were created to destroy yours. We’re on opposite sides of the spectrum.” Her words would have stung more if she hadn’t been staring at his lips and licking her lips.

She might be refusing their mating, but she wasn’t immune to him. Hope rose in his chest, but he quickly smashed it back down. Her attraction didn’t mean she was going to change her mind. Enjoy the moment, asshole.

“That’s true. But I’m not fully demonic. Plus, there are always exceptions to the rule.” He pinned her with a look and allowed his desire and need for her to come to the surface. He embraced the fact that his survival depended on her and how his heart now beat for her. Displaying so much left him open and vulnerable. After a few seconds, he shuttered his expression and pushed everything back into the box in his mind.

He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. She was his Fated Mate and he didn’t bother trying to smother his beast’s desire for her. He wanted her writhing beneath him. Chloe was skittish at first.

She stepped back, trying to dislodge his mouth. He suspected she wouldn’t reject his cock, but something as close and intimate as kissing was too much for her at the moment. With a smile playing at the edges of his mouth, he continued to kiss her and follow her movements until the backs of her legs hit the bed. With one hand in the middle of her chest, he pushed, and she landed on her pert little ass with a small bounce.

“That’s right. You’re part human. And it was you that joined the alliance and changed the fate of cambions.”

Dante paused and tugged the plain blue shirt over his head. It meant something that this female saw him. Not many recognized how much effort he put into changing the course of life for cambions. Before he joined the Alliance, not many realized his kind were creations of the Goddess Morrigan.

“What can I say? We’re more than sex-crazed demons. We were created to do more. And, I’m about to show you how much more.” He growled as he popped the
