Sam jerked awake at the sound of a very s to speak She lay in bed, wondering if she&039;d dreamed it

She hadn&039;t

"Shh,in that sweet octave mothers reserved for their children as she walked out of hearing range

Sam cursed under her breath If she heard or saw onepleasure in punishing her lately And she wanted to weep as her grief choked her Why couldn&039;t she have raised her own children? Seen therow and held them all the days of her life? That had been the plan She and Ioel, growing old together

Daods

Suck it up, Amazon You&039;re a Dark-Hunter Mother to the entire human race she protected She saved their lives even while she&039;d been unable to save the lives of her own family The irony of that had haunted her for centuries And it hat had given her the strength to tear out her sister&039;s throat even while the petty bitch had begged her for mercy

Mercy, my ass

That wasn&039;t in her Not anymore It hadn&039;t been since the day she&039;d crossed over and seen the real horrors life had heaped on not just her, but countless others Ies of the past burned her while she lay there and they left her aching Wanting

Please help ht snore behind her drew her attention away from the past to realize that a heavy, muscular arm was draped protectively over her To the fact that a warainst hers

Dev

The bear held her like she was unspeakably precious Like her husband had once done

Tenderness swept through her How she&039;dup like this That feel of a h against her legs His hard cock resting against her hip She didn&039;t knohy she liked being with Dev He drove her straight up the walls with no stop sign in sight He manhandled her, which she hated with a passion, and was the epitoant Hard-headed

And he risked his life to keep her safe Even now he didn&039;t have to be here and yet there he lay

Like a teddy bear She silently laughed at the thought There was nothing cuddly about Dev He was all sinewy aze went to the bow-and-arrow tattoo on his arm He hadn&039;t made the sacrifice she had, but he understood the call Sam sed I don&039;t want to be dead any Had hurt and sucked up her tears for centuries Nothing had ever eased it

Until now For what ever reason, Dev took away the pain she felt He sos better with his screwed-up hu She was a Dark-Hunter and he a Were-Hunter They were supposed to be eneht noith his breath falling on her skin and his arms wrapped around her, she wanted hiave her Breathe him in until she was drunk on his scent

Dev caiven Tender and hot, it set fire to him as Saainst his chest, relad he was a s before she pulled back to look down at hione, she&039;d thrown it on the floor before she woke him, and her curls spilled around her creaain dark brown She was the Dark-Hunter and right now, he was her willing victiuy up"

She shook her head, causing those curls to bounce beautifully "Nothis is the way to wake him up"

Before he could ask her what she meant, she slid down his body and dipped her head to take hih his entire being

Yeah, she was definitely right on that account This was a ladly wake up in a good mood every day if it started out like this He sucked his breath in sharply as her tongue darted down the length of him before she took him completely into her mouth His eyes rolled back in his skull as he shook all over

He sank his hand in her soft, honey curls as he watched her savor him Damn if she wasn&039;t the most incredible woman he&039;d ever known He loved the fact that she wasn&039;t shy or inhibited in any way She loved him like it would be the last time she&039;d ever touch a man Like they would be dead in a minute and this was her last chance to live

Her intensity and skills were incredible He laid his hand against her cheek as his powers surged What was it about her that she could feed his abilities the way she did? More than that, she touched him in a place no woman ever had before

His heart

All his life, he&039;d been alone Yeah, he&039;d been around people, but no one had ever seen hiet that close to hi cub, he&039;d worshiped his older brothers and when they&039;d died protecting Aiotten over their loss Not really It hy he&039;d always been so protective of his sister and mother He&039;d wanted to h they were gone, the snot-nose cub left behind could hold his own

Life was shit He knew that as well as anyone else and he hated just how much it had crapped all over Sam He wanted to take her away from the pain that had been thrown at her Take her away froht now, she was the one taking hirowled as she nibbled on Dev She&039;d always loved the way a man tasted The way he s

Hungry for ave one last lick before she crawled up his body and irowl She lifted his hand from her breast so that she could nip and tease the pads of his fingers while she rode him soft and easy Oh, how she wanted to stay with hi at the doors Enemies after both of theht for it She understood her calling She believed in her cause Yet right now, she wanted so for herself A moment of peace and connection

Was that too much to ask?

"You are so beautiful," Dev said as he slid his hand between her legs so that he could heighten her pleasure

Sahed at her question "I don&039;twith hter Then her laughter died under a wave of supre her shiver and treaze accidentally fell to the door and reality interrupted her mood It would be dark soon She could sense it Then she&039;d have to leave him and hunt the Daimons ere after her For his sake as well as for hers She couldn&039;t afford for the Daiered his family

She wasn&039;t worth it

Why can&039;t I have one moment of peace?

Because she&039;d sold her soul for the sake of the world

Dev sensed that soed A wall had coh they were naked in each other&039;s arms He pulled his hand back "Did I hurt you?"

"No, baby You definitely didn&039;t hurt me"

But there was a shadow in her eyes One of pain Hoished he could take that from her
