A DANGEROUS BARGAIN (The Sentinel Demons) (9 page)

The will to resist left him as his demon demands took control. There was no way he could resist the pleading look in her beautiful green eyes. His hands fell to his sides as he felt the first incredible touch of her soft fingers.

“You’re so big.” Her voice was breathy and sultry. Zach trembled as Kat slid her palm up and down the shaft like she was learning the feel and texture of him.

He propped his head up on a pillow to watch her face. When she tilted her head down and slowly undulated her tongue over his begging tip, he nearly exploded like an untried schoolboy. The feel of her tongue on his cock was exquisite. He groaned as it twitched, pleading for her hot mouth. She was killing him, but he’d gladly expire if
this
was the way he was going to leave the Earth realm.

Zach wanted to grasp Kat’s hair and thrust himself into her mouth, but he willed himself to stay patient as he watched her tongue glide sensuously along his swollen tip, causing his balls to tighten and his hips to pump.

He groaned as he felt her lips slide over the head and take as much of his shaft as she could handle. He could feel the friction against her tongue and the roof of her mouth. After so many fantasies, the reality and erotic feel of her were almost surreal.

“I won’t last long, Kat,” he panted as she started a suction that nearly made him explode, the pleasure of her movements so intense that he could already feel his building orgasm.

Out of his mind with lust, Zach thrust his hand into that long, silky hair and guided her to a faster rhythm, needing the intense pace. Desire surged with a speed that was almost brutal, and he needed the ruthless strokes more than he needed the next beat of his heart. The visual of her lips sucking and her head bobbing up and down on his cock was as heady as the feel of her mouth and tongue against his member. She was taking what belonged to her, and Zach reveled in it.

“Mmmmm….” Her lips vibrated against him, adding more stimulation to the already mind-blowing pleasure.

Had anything in his entire existence ever felt this good? He wanted to make it last, savor the pleasure, but it was just too intense.

“Kat. Fuck. I’m ready to explode.” Zach couldn’t hold back. She needed to take those lips from him before he choked her with his violent release.

Kat didn’t move her mouth. She nearly swallowed him. As he felt his cock hit the back of her throat, encompassed in the hot, wet suction…he detonated.

Zach cursed as his orgasm took control. His back arched at the ecstasy of releasing himself into the warm, tight cavern as she swallowed his seed like it was ambrosia.

Holy shit!
His legs were still trembling as her tongue stroked over his cock, licking every drop of his release, and it was the most erotic thing he’d ever seen.

Zach reached down, picked Kat up and pulled her over him like a blanket. He wrapped his arms around her and held her soft body against his. He wished they were naked, wanting to feel her soft skin against him without any barriers. His arms held her tightly, her head resting on his shoulder.

“Zach, I’m too heavy to lie on top of you.” Kat squirmed to get away, but she didn’t stand a chance against his demon hold.

Seriously? I’m a damn demon, and she’s not heavy anyway.
He gave her a playful slap on the ass and she stopped. “You feel like perfection.” A thought danced through his mind of her on top of him, riding them both into oblivion. She’d look beautiful, wild and moaning his name as she climaxed.

Awww…hell.
He slammed the fantasy thought closed as a twinge of guilt hit him in the gut.

As though she could read his thoughts, Kat answered, “I did that because I wanted to, not because I had to.” Her voice was muffled against his shoulder.

Zach stroked her hair as he replied, “You needed to. It’s the damn bargain.” It pissed him off. He had just had the most incredible orgasm of his life…and his woman had done it because of demon compulsion.

She pulled back and met his eyes. “I wanted to. Yes, I felt compelled, but I also want you. I wasn’t forced.”

He didn’t believe her. Demon compulsions were strong. She didn’t know the difference between being compelled and wanting it herself.

He tried to explain to her, but she insisted, “Zach…you already got off. My panties are soaked and I want you so badly that my whole body aches. The urges to satisfy you are nothing compared to my own desires. Does the bargain include me burning with need even after you just came?”

Hell no, it didn’t.
The bargain only compelled
her
to satisfy
him
. “You want me?”

“Demon…I want you so badly right now I want to rip your clothes off and satisfy myself a hundred different ways.” Kat sighed. “I think I’ll go take a shower.” She sounded flustered and embarrassed by her confession.

She started to move off him, but Zach clamped his arms around her waist, keeping her tightly against him, his heart hammering with hope.

He delved into her mind, reading every emotion. Strange, he had always figured those thoughts were his alone, compulsions or part of the demon bargain.

They weren’t.

Kat should be feeling satisfied that she had temporarily sated him. But he could feel nothing but yearning, her need for him, her own fantasies.

Zach grinned at her as he took in the fact that this hadn’t all been coerced on her part. “You have some very naughty fantasies, Kitten.” And damned if he didn’t want to act out every one of them, satisfy her until she begged for mercy. She was the one wanting now, and he was going to be the man to take care of every one of her needs.

She gave him an exasperated expression. “Zach, I just wanted you to know that it wasn’t forced. I wanted you to understand.”

He ran his hand over her ass, squeezing each cheek as he pulled her hips to his. “Oh, I understand perfectly now. I’m glad you explained it.”

Kat actually wanted him. Not because she was under a bargain or because she was compelled. She really wanted
him
.

Zach laughed as he sat up, scooping her up with him.

“Zach…what are you doing?” Her voice sounded panicked.

Now that he knew that she needed him, there was nothing that could stop him. And it was way past time for her to realize how beautiful she was, how completely irresistible.

Zach laughed as Kat kicked her feet, trying to get him to put her down. He just held her tighter and sprinted up the stairs, his only want-his greatest need-to satisfy his mate.

Kat stopped worrying about Zach carrying her generously curved body when he reached the top of the stairs. He wasn’t even out of breath.
Holy crap
…this demon was strong.

What in the hell was he up to? She shouldn’t have confessed her desire for him, but she didn’t want him feeling guilty. She had started to care for him and she didn’t want him beating himself up for something that she had enjoyed. She knew he already flogged himself enough over past mistakes. In the darkness of the night, he had told her about his sister, his mother-his regrets. They had shared a lot during those intimate hours together, and Zack had kept her safe in his warm embrace.

As he slowly lowered her to her feet in the master bedroom, she eyed him nervously. “What are you doing?”

Kat backed up, but her ass hit the oak bedpost. She wasn’t sure she liked his slightly evil grin. It made her heart flip and her mouth go dry. Surely he wasn’t considering…

“Kitten, there’s no way I’m letting you go into the shower by yourself.” His voice was graveled as his arm snaked around her waist. “I plan on joining you. I’m sure you can feel what I want right now.”

She did…and it sent tingles down her spine, in addition to other places on her body. “Why?” Okay…she didn’t understand this, and she wanted to. Zach’s desire was real, and it was a rampant, uncontrolled desire that she just couldn’t comprehend. “I’m not attractive, Zach. I’m not saying that because my self-esteem is low or because I’m insecure. It’s just a fact. My face is plain and if you look close enough, you can see freckles. I’m plump by today’s standards for how a woman should look, and I’m nothing any man desires this much. I’m intelligent, I’m a hard worker, and I’m a survivor…but I am not physically attractive to most men. Especially not to a man like you.” Kat sucked in a deep breath as she finished, feeling strangely comfortable revealing how she felt to Zach.

He crowded her, pushing her back and ass against the sturdy bedpost and trapping both her arms over her head, gripping them both snugly with one strong hand. His eyes were fierce and beginning to glow amber as he captured her gaze. “I’m not looking at you as just a man; I see you as a Sentinel demon views his
radiant.
I don’t see insignificant flaws, things you view as unattractive…I see your fucking soul, and its lightness enthralls my darkness. I don’t know how human men see you, and I don’t give a damn as long as they don’t touch you. My vision goes deeper, seeing you from the inside out, and what’s inside you warms me, makes me want to find every freckle on your body so I can worship it. Your softness makes me want to bury myself inside you so deeply that neither one of us can do anything except get lost in the other, joined so tightly that we don’t know where one stops and the other begins. I want that with a need so profound that it’s nearly killing me. There’s not one thing about you that isn’t absolute perfection.” He lowered his head, his mouth so close to her ear that she could feel his hot breath against the sensitive flesh as he rumbled in a low voice, “So don’t tell me that you aren’t beautiful. To me, you’re the most exquisite female on the planet, and there’ll never be another. Understand?”

Kat was mesmerized by his hypnotic voice and heartfelt declaration. Hard as it might be to believe…he meant every word. She could sense it, feel the truth of his words in her gut. It was hard to wrap her mind around the fact that someone who looked like Zach wanted her so desperately, but it was a heady feeling, one she had never experienced before. “I’m not used to it,” she admitted in a breathy voice.

“Get used to it,” he warned in a husky voice. “I’ll never see you any other way.”

Kat gulped as Zach released her and whipped his t-shirt over his head, baring his upper body. She quivered as his sexual needs consumed her. “You’re doing that on purpose. Letting me feel your wants.”

“Damn right, I am. I’m not even trying to hold back on thinking about what I want right now. I want you to feel it. I want you to own it. Because you’re the only woman who’s ever made me this insane. And I think it’s time for you to understand just how much I want you and just how much I want to satisfy
your
needs.” His jeans and briefs were gone seconds later and he was gloriously nude, looking better than in her wildest fantasies.

His body was perfect, every muscle sculpted and defined, his enormous cock nestled against his rock hard abs. He could have been carved from marble, but she knew he wasn’t. Zach’s body was hot and alive, and so incredibly responsive to her touch. She’d just experienced the truth of that on the couch downstairs.

Kat’s brain was bombarded with scenes of them wet and naked, which she struggled and failed to contain. Protesting as he pulled her lightweight shirt over her head was out of the question. His greatest need right now was to have her naked and wet…and she couldn’t fight against his desire. It was her desire, too, and her inexperience warred with overwhelming passion, but desire squelched the negative voices. Raw need was stronger, more powerful, impossible to deny.

Kat had little time for internal struggle-Zach had her naked so fast that she didn’t have time to think for long.

His eyes lit with unmasked desire as he slowly devoured her with his head-to-toe appraisal. No man had ever looked at her this way. She had never imagined a man surveying her in a completely carnal manner-like he was consumed by hunger and wanted to have
her
for dinner…and dessert.

He pulled her willing body toward the master bathroom, one that she hadn’t used before. It was designed exactly the same as the one attached to the guest room she was using.

The Jacuzzi shower was running, obviously adjusted by Zach’s demon magic. It was turned to her favorite rainfall ceiling setting, with circular lights that gave the shower a romantic, dreamy atmosphere.

Zach pulled her into the enclosure and closed the door as he murmured, “I don’t think we need to turn on the steam. I have plans to produce enough of our own.”

Kat’s breath sawed in and out of her lungs as he pulled her against him, skin to skin, and kissed her with an intensity that sucked the air from her lungs. Arms around her waist, he conquered her mouth, weaving their tongues together in an intimate dance. He was all raw male dominance, and she gave in to her urge to let herself be conquered by him.

His hands glided along her wet skin, sending a shiver down her spine. As his mouth moved to her ear, she heard him rasp, “My greatest need right now is to hear you moaning my name as you come.” His hand snaked between her legs, causing her to gasp as his fingers slid dominantly between her tights. “So hot, so wet. I can feel your need, read your desire, and it’s driving me insane.” Kat moaned as his fingers stroked effortlessly through her slick folds, seeking and finding her clit. His mouth moved to her ample breasts, nipping and tugging at her already hard, sensitive nipples. He bit gently and soothed with his tongue, the pleasure/pain sensation making her begin to unravel.
