“Tell me you like being fucked like that,” he demanded.

There was a flicker in her eyes, and for a second, he thought she wouldn’t respond, but then she licked her lips. “I love your cock. I love how you fill me, how you thrust so deep and so hard.”

His heart pounded like a jackhammer. “I love plunging into your pussy, taking you, filling you.”

At that, there was a realization in her eyes. “Without any barrier…”

“Yes, skin on skin, flesh on flesh.” He thrust harder, their dirty talk making him even hotter. His arousal was spiking. He wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer.

Daphne dug her fingernails into his shoulders. “Nothing between us. Just you and me.” She breathed raggedly. “I love how you fuck me. As if you can’t get enough.”

He plunged his cock deep and hard into her, practically nailing her to the wall at her back, her words almost severing the last thread of his control. “Fuck, babe, I need to get deeper. I need to take you harder. Damn it, I want you, all of you!”

On his last word, he climaxed and shot his seed deep into her.

Daphne gasped. “Don’t stop.”

He continued thrusting as wave after wave of his orgasm crashed over him. His pleasure was already ebbing when he suddenly felt Daphne’s muscles spasm around him as she climaxed again. Her high prolonged his pleasure, making him drive back into her again and again, until he felt Daphne’s spasms subside.

“Wow,” she murmured, and blew out a breath.

He rested his forehead on hers. “What do you say we move this show to your bed?”

“That sounds good, but I don’t think I can stand, let alone walk right now.”

He chuckled contentedly. “Oh, that was the plan all along. See, if you can’t walk, you can’t run away from me, and I can have my way with you. All night long.”

A soft laugh rolled over Daphne’s lips. “Scoundrel.”

Minutes later, they both lay in bed, naked and sated. Daphne was snuggled up to his side, her head on his bicep, one arm over his chest, one leg across his thighs.

“Can I ask you something?” Daphne said.

“Anything.” He stroked his hand over her hair.

“I’m assuming there’s a reason Stealth Guardians don’t use condoms. Is it because you’re immortal?”

“Like you said earlier, we don’t get sick. We don’t carry disease, so we can’t pass it on.”

“I figured that. But you do procreate—I mean, you mentioned that Leila has twins. I mean, not that it’s a problem. I’m on the pill, you know, but…”

He put his hand under her chin to make her look at him. She was cute when she was nervous. “Yes, we procreate. But it’s not all that easy. A male Stealth Guardian isn’t born fertile. We only become fertile when we bond with a mate.”

“Oh.”

He put one hand on her thigh to tug her closer to him, loving the way her warm body molded to his. “You can ask me anything. I want you to know that.”

He wished she would ask the one thing that he knew he needed to tell her, but didn’t know how. He wanted to tell her that their initial meeting hadn’t been a coincidence. After the intimacies they’d shared, didn’t she deserve the truth? Maybe it was exactly what he had to do: be honest with her, tell her about the vision and hope, by doing so, he could make sure the vision would never come true.

“Thank you,” she said. “So the condoms you got last night, they were just for my benefit?”

“Yeah. I couldn’t tell you that I’m not human and that you won’t have to worry about STDs. It was easier to use a condom and make you feel at ease.”

She hugged him tightly. “Most men aren’t as considerate as you. I understand why you had to lie to me. But I’m glad that you can be honest now.”

God, he felt like a heel that she believed he was one hundred percent honest, when he wasn’t, when he was still keeping the real reason why they’d met from her. He had to set the record straight.

“Daphne, you should know something…” He took a deep breath, but the ringing of his cell phone interrupted him. He’d placed it on the nightstand earlier, in case anybody from the compound needed to reach him with updates regarding Tim’s wellbeing. He looked at the display and recognized the compound’s main line.
