Bat out of Hell (16 page)

“
Does
it
please
you?
”

Ava
heard
the
smile
in
his
voice.

“
I'm
not
sure.
”
Pain
seared
through
her,
but
a
tingle
of
pleasure
joined
it.
The
blood
that
had
passed
between
them
had
roused
her
passion
quickly.

“
This
is
only
the
beginning,
love.
You
are
my
mate,
and
I've
waited
so
long
for
you.
”

His
cock
slowly
slid
in
and
out
of
her
at
first
as
Ava
thrashed
and
whimpered.
His
fingers
teased
her
button,
one
she
had
noticed
before
but
never
used.
A
throbbing
started
there
as
she
grabbed
at
him,
not
knowing
exactly
what
she
begged
for.

“
Please,
Gabriel,
please.
”

His
hand
worked
faster
on
her
swollen
nub,
and
she
screamed,
shattering
the
night
as
she
reached
her
peak.
Shudders
ran
through
her
body,
and
she
saw
herself
both
past
and
present
with
him.

His
own
orgasm
ripped
through
her
as
he
rammed
deep
within
her
cunt.

“
Ava!
”
His
shout
was
hoarse,
and
he
pushed
into
her,
holding
her
tight
against
him
as
she
gasped
for
breath.

Gabriel
gently
lay
her
back
down
on
the
bed,
holding
her
to
his
heaving
chest
for
a
moment
before
he
stood,
throwing
his
clothing
on.
“
Are
you
ready?
We
need
to
fly.
I
hear
horses
’
hooves.
”

“
Yes,
but
how
can
we
leave?
”

“
Now
that
you've
said
yes
to
me,
I
can
travel
between
the
portals
of
time
at
will.
Now
that
you're
mine.
.
.
”

Her
body
jumped
as
if
being
sucked
into
a
large
whirlwind
as
he
looked
into
her
eyes.
They
said
nothing,
and
she
felt
years
collapsing
into
a
small
space.

“
Ava,
wake
up.
You're
home.
”

Gabriel
held
her
hand
in
her
bed
as
the
curtains
fluttered
in
the
night
breeze.
As
she
looked
into
the
prisms
of
his
eyes,
she
knew
everything
had
changed.
