Destined Mate Read Online Free Page B

tongues danced, he reached back and gripped one of the legs she had wrapped around him. He wanted to feel more of her. Pulling back slightly, he sat up and unzipped one of her boots.
    Even though he wanted to take his time undressing her, he wanted to see her naked more. After he stripped off her boots, he tugged her pants down with unsteady hands. A curse built on his lips at his lack of control but he held it back.
    Meeting her gaze, he froze. Her eyes were no longer pale but dark and full of promises he’d been fantasizing about for years. “I want to taste you.” The words tore from him just as unsteadily as his damn hands.
    In response, she grasped the bottom of her top and tugged it over her head.
    All the air rushed from his lungs as she bared herself to him. No bra.
    His eyes tracked down her lithe body. Lean and very strong. Her arms and legs were muscular but not bulky. Different than when she’d been human. Back then she’d been softer and more delicate. But her breasts were the same…the light brown nipples hardened under his gaze. His mouth watered as he stared. He wanted to run his tongue around each areola and watch her writhe under his kisses.
    But first he wanted to taste something else. Hooking his fingers under the thin straps of her plain, black underwear he tugged them down her legs and blindly tossed them away.
    He couldn’t tear his gaze away from the dark strip of hair covering her mound. How many times had he buried himself between her legs? How many times had she called out his name as she climaxed? Angela cleared her throat, forcing his gaze upward.
    “You gonna stare all day?” Her voice was husky and sensual. And teasing. Just like he remembered.
    Even though things had been intense between them, she’d always been fun and relaxed in the bedroom. Willing to try anything.
    She’d trusted him once and he knew that’s exactly what she was doing now by baring herself to him. He’d given her his blood and now she was giving her body. She might consider this temporary but for him…this was only the beginning for them.
    Maybe Angela should feel embarrassed at her state of undress while Knox was still clothed, but she couldn’t dredge up anything other than desire as he stared at her naked body. His dark eyes seemed to devour her as they raked over her face and body. When they roved over her chest, her nipples peaked almost painfully. Everything about this was so familiar but yet not. It was still new and exciting considering how many decades had passed between them. She started to scoot back but then stopped herself.
    She wanted this. Even though there were many reasons to stop before this went too far, she didn’t care about any of them. If he wanted to kill her, he could have done so the moment he’d captured her. When he hadn’t thrown her to his men to be killed it had surprised her. Even more surprising was the fact that he’d given shelter to Natalia, another vampire. Considering how much he’d hated vampires when Angela had known him, it was hard to digest that bit of knowledge. Combined with the fact that he’d also just given her his vein—something an Alpha in his position would never do—she knew she could trust him with her body. Anything beyond that was crazy but for now she simply wanted to give in to her cravings. It had been over a decade since she’d been with anyone. She couldn’t remember the name or face of her last lover and here was a man who she absolutely knew could pleasure her. Things in bed had always been incredibly hot between them and since he didn’t plan to hurt her, why not take what she wanted?
    “Spread your legs.” His voice was deep and commanding.
    Maybe she should be annoyed at his almost arrogant tone, but all she felt was a slow burning heat lap across her entire body at the absolutely dominant note in his voice. She did as he said.
    “Wider,” he said as he leaned lower.
    For a brief moment panic set it as she started analyzing what
