Cain's Identity(22)

“You’re quite insatiable today,” Cain said.
She met his gaze and saw the color of his eyes change, evidence enough that he wasn’t going to deny her.
“I’m only adapting to your appetite,” she responded and wrapped her hand around his erection.
She’d already felt his cock inside her several times during the past hours. They’d barely slept since they’d gone to bed just before sunrise. It was almost sunset again, and soon they would have to leave the privacy of his suite and deal with clan matters. But before he’d be all business again, she wanted to feel him once more.
Faye brought her lips to his mouth. “Make love to me.”
“Again?” he murmured back.
“Are you getting tired of it?”
Cain threw his head back and laughed. Two rows of brilliantly white teeth flashed. “Tired?” His eyes sparkled when he looked at her. “My love, I’ll never get tired of making love to you. That’s why I want you as my blood-bonded mate.”
He pressed her back in the soft mattress, making her lose her grip on his cock. His knee pushed her legs apart, making room for him. He slid into the space, bringing himself above her. Before she could take another breath, his cock thrust into her, until he was seated to the hilt.
His hand pushed a strand of her long hair to the side, exposing her neck.
“Why don’t you bond with me now?” Cain asked.
Her heart stopped, but she knew she couldn’t accept the offer. “Because you need to be sure that you love me.” There were moments when she knew he hesitated between her and his kingdom. Whenever she saw him torn between love and duty, she knew he wasn’t ready. But she would patiently wait until he was. It was also the reason why she hadn’t let him pin her down on a wedding date even though she’d accepted his proposal.
“But I am,” he insisted, caressing her neck and making her tremble in the process.
She smiled at him and shook her head. “I’ve loved you from afar for so long, ever since you saved me. But you never even noticed me until two months ago. You—”
He put a finger on her lips, stopping her. “I noticed you. But I had no right to make you mine. You’d gone through so much. You were vulnerable and trusted nobody. Had I shown my love for you then, you would not only have been scared but also become the object of everybody’s dislike. Nobody would have accepted you as the king’s mate. That’s why I had to wait. To give you a chance to heal the wounds of your past and make my subjects love you for yourself. And they do love you.”
Her heart melted at his confession. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
His fingers traced the vein along her neck, and farther below, his cock pulled out, only to slowly slide back into her.
She sighed contentedly.
“Tell you that I loved you?” Cain smiled. “It was enough that I suffered every day that I had to spend alone in my bed. Besides, I didn’t know you felt anything for me. You weren’t exactly very demonstrative with your feelings toward me. In fact, there were moments when I thought you disliked me profusely.”
She closed her eyes, ashamed at how she’d treated him in the past. But it had been so hard to trust anybody, even Cain. “I had to protect myself. And it was painful to be around you, thinking I meant nothing to you.”#p#分页标题#e#
Cain pressed small kisses on her face. “So that’s why you were so cold to me?”
“I wasn’t cold,” Faye protested.
“You were. I think I’m going to have to punish you for it. After all, nobody treats the king badly and gets away with it.”
“How?” She nearly swallowed the word, when Cain’s hips drew back and his cock plunged deep into her, repeating the same motion again and again.
“That’s the punishment,” he announced, his breath bouncing against her lips.
“If that’s punishment, then you’re not doing it right.”
“Wrong answer, my love,” he replied before he captured her lips and drowned her in a passionate kiss that robbed her not only of her breath but also of the ability to think.
All she could do was respond to him the way her body dictated. Her hands slid to his firm ass, where her fingernails dug into his flesh to force him deeper into her, while her legs wrapped around his upper thighs. Cain moaned and released her mouth only to bring his lips to her neck to kiss her where her pulse beat like a violent drum.
A fang scraped against her skin, and she shivered involuntarily.
“Oh God, Faye, I need you.” His words vibrated against her heated flesh.
His mouth opened wider, and she knew what he wanted. Her blood. Despite the fact that the blood of a vampire provided no nourishment; only human blood did. But the bite would heighten their pleasure, his as well as hers. She knew that, though she’d never experienced it. Cain had always held back until now, but today he was different. As if having confessed that he’d loved her all this time had brought them closer.
