Shifter's Baby(3)

“Her Miss, let me help you.”

Shae looked up at the gentle baritone voice. He seemed to be more shocked then her and she saw something different in his eyes for a moment before he blinked and it was gone. She searched the dark black depths for a hint of color or the mysterious wild look she had seen a moment ago. Neither one of them spoken for and Shae cast her eyes to the hunched over body of her intruder.

After several long heartbeats, she got herself together and took the offered hand. She had two conflicting urges, to stay and to go. She should call the police, but she knew she was safe with the dark-eyed stranger. Shae was not sure how she knew that, but it was true nonetheless.

“Thank you.”

Another long look at the blocked stairs, she moved towards her apartment door. She didn’t invite him in, but it didn’t seem needed and she was thankful that he didn’t leave. The woman that was always in control was not in control at all and the realization scared her.





Chapter 3


Caspien followed the enchanting woman into her apartment and his large frame seemed to fill the doorway, blocking the light as well as the door did. She looked back at him with those bright blue eyes and he was lost. He could tell she was shaken and he knew that he should comfort her in the back of his mind, but he couldn’t bring himself to move forward.

“Will you shut the door?”

Her voice was small and quavered a little as she formed the words slowly. She did not add anything else and he watched her walk to her counter that had her phone on it. She picked it up and started to dial a number.

“What are you doing?’

“Calling the police.”

Cass walked towards her and took the phone out of her hand a bit too quickly. She pulled back a little and looked at him with a look he never wanted to see on her face. “Sorry, um let me take care of it. Me and my partner are in law enforcement. I don’t want you to have to worry about anything. He will be picked up in under ten minutes and I promise you will never have to worry about him again.”

She nodded her head and waited while he made a call, saying a few words into it and then hanging up abruptly. “All done. Why don’t you sit down? Are you hurt anywhere?”

His hands touched her arm, moving her body this way and that, trying to make sure that she did not have any contusions. Cass saw one area on her shoulder that looked like it was going to bruise. It was then that they both seemed to realize that she was hardly dressed. Her breathing had become rapid and she was practically panting as he checked her.

“Who are you?”

The question seemed to surprise him, like she was supposed to already know. “Forgive me. I’m Caspien Charlton.”

“Shae, thanks for helping me. He was in my apartment when I got out of the shower. I never realized how alone I was until…” She visibly shook and he finally moved forward to comfort her. She felt slight in his expansive embrace and she audibly sighed when he held her against him tightly.

The pair heard cursing and some loud thuds as he comforted her, ruining the moment. Shae wanted to go outside and see what was going on, but he didn’t initially let go of her. “It is being taken care of. Don’t let it pass through your thoughts again.”

Shae looked a little incredulous. She didn’t think she would ever be able to forget the helpless feeling or the sheer panic of it all. Shae was ready to move and find a couple of roommates. Large ones that could throw robbers like Caspien had done for her, like it was nothing to him. His virulent strength was palpable as he still cradled her in his arms gently, like she was a breakable piece of glass. Her gaze softened as she looked up at him. “Thank you, really. I don’t know what I would have done if you wouldn’t have been there. Or what he would have done to me.” Another shiver and he pulled her closer.

They stayed like that for several minutes and Shae could not help her body’s reaction to his. Cass was getting hard against her, his hands slowly caressing her instead of comfortably rubbing. The mood changed and when she pulled back enough to look at him, Caspien leaned down and captured her lips with his own. There was one thing he could do to make her forget everything and it just happened to be what he had been dying to do since the first time he laid eyes on her.

Shae closed her eyes to the soft touch and then moaned softly into his mouth as his tongue pushed her lips open to taste her sweetness. His body pushed her back into the counter, every inch of her curved formed pressed hotly against his own. There was no denying the hardness that she felt on her hip or the excitement that came over her.

She moved her tongue with his, her finger playing in the silken strands at the base of his neck. The black strands felt perfect and she grabbed him to pull him down for more of a taste. Cass was lost in his own desire, his hands searching her voluptuous curves. His lips went from soft to insistent and her back bent backwards as he overwhelmed her with his need.
