Destined Mate Read Online Free Page A

to scent it. Hell, half the house probably scented it.
    His need to mount her and mate with her was short-circuiting his brain and the longer she drank, the harder it was to think straight. His inner beast wanted control in the worst way.
    Abruptly she stopped drinking and his entire body missed the feel of her tugging on him. When she pulled her mouth away from his neck, the only sound filling the room was their harsh breathing.
    Instead of stepping back like he expected, she turned her head away and wiped her mouth. “Thank you.” She wouldn’t look at him even though she stayed inches from him.
    No way, Angel. He wasn’t letting her get away from him that easy.
    He gripped her neck and jaw and forced her to face him. Her pale eyes were wide with confusion and lust and her fangs still hadn’t fully retracted. Under his touch he could feel her rapid pulse beating out of control.
    “I’m going to kiss you.” It wasn’t a question.
    Mentally he prepared himself for another kick to the groin but when her bright eyes widened and her lips parted, he reacted fast. He didn’t want the alluring vampire to think or overanalyze this. He simply wanted her to feel. To see how right they were together. As far as he was concerned, the past was just that. All that mattered was what happened now.
    For a split second, she started to jerk back but he wasn’t going to give her space. As he covered her mouth with his, he cupped her head in a dominating grip and threaded his fingers through her silky short hair. He ate hungrily at her mouth. The slightly sweet taste on her tongue lingered but mixed with something else. Something that was all her.
    When her fingers dug into his shoulders and she moaned into his mouth, his hips surged forward as if they had a mind of their own. His skin felt too tight for his body and the raging need to mark her made him ache with an intensity he’d never imagined.
    Her tongue rasped against his in erotic little strokes as she wrapped her other hand around his neck. Almost simultaneously, she lifted up and wrapped her legs around him, digging her booted feet into his ass. Just like it had been with them before. Things had always been so urgent, needy with them. They hadn’t been able to keep their hands off one another. After their first time together, she’d been just as frantic as he was every time they were together..
    Now his canines throbbed with such excruciating pain, he had to let them extend. She slightly tensed at the change but didn’t tear her mouth completely away from his. Instead she writhed against him, letting her breasts rub against his chest.
    Without wasting time, he moved them to the bed and had her pinned underneath him once again. This time she didn’t push against him. Didn’t fight him.
    But before they could go any further there was something he needed to know. Right now all he wanted to do was rip her clothes from her body, but knew once he got her naked it would be over for him. Alpha or not, he was still male. Somehow he pulled his head back. “Why did you leave when you were turned?”
    She blinked a few times and shook her head. “Wh…what?”
    “Why’d you run from me when you were turned into a vampire?” If she’d fallen for a vampire and chosen someone else over him, he’d hunt the bastard down and kill him. Slowly. The sudden primal thought shook him but he couldn’t stop the rage flowing through his veins.
    Those pink lips parted in confusion. “Are you serious?”
    When he didn’t respond, she frowned and started to get up. He could see her internally pulling away from him.
    Withdrawing.
    “Forget this,” she muttered.
    Screw that. He didn’t want to forget what they were doing. He could get his answers later. Covering her body once again, he savored the feel of her underneath him. When it was obvious he didn’t plan to push her for answers, she melded to him once again. It soothed his inner wolf in a way he hadn’t thought possible.
    As their
