They were seriously batting absolute zero with no pinch hitter in sight Danger sighed heavily as they returned to her house They&039;d spent the last few hours seeking out the Dark-Hunters in the area only to find out that rind with Acheron

Granted, there were tiueness too, but this was ridiculous

They bla stuck in Mississippi (which she personally loved) It really wasn&039;t a bad place to live Granted it was hot in the summer, but there was a lot of beauty to be found here

They also bla their immortality better Blamed him for all kinds of stuff that was basically their decision, not his

Worse was the fact that she knew Acheron could read their minds No wonder he didn&039;t visit here more often How could he continue to let Arteainst hi about him? That man had more fortitude than anyone she&039;d ever known

Personally, she&039;d tell theo find her own private paradise

The fact that he didn&039;t

He was either a saint or a masochist

Perhaps a little of both

"I can&039;t believe their gall," she said to Alexion as he shut her back door "Who knew Squid had a death wish?"

Unlike her, he took it all with nihilistic stoicism It was true, around others he was ice-cold and without any eer him the way they did her He just stood there and listened while they railed

Alexion shrugged as he turned the hall light on for her "It happens more than you&039;d think If I can save ten percent, it&039;s a good night"

She didn&039;t want a ten percent survival rate She wanted one hundred percent But Squid had thrown the about Acheron

Thank God she&039;d been able to convince Alexion not to wear his white coat over there There was no telling what the angry ex-pirate would have done to them if he&039;d suspected Alexion was the destroyer Kyros prophesied him to be

Squid had completely refused to listen Damn him for his stubbornness

"You know, I think we need to work on your speech"

Alexion arched a brow "What&039;s wrong withroom "Well, I think it was the &039;or else&039; part that lost us Tyrell Have you ever noticed that Dark-Hunters aren&039;t exactly the &039;or else&039; kind of guys? They&039;re the kind ill do the opposite of what you want or bust a gut trying They&039;ll doom themselves just to spite you because you told them not to"

He frowned "What would you have me say to them? &039;Hi, I&039;m here to be your friend? Let&039;s sit, have a cup of coffee, and chat?&039;"

She laughed at that ie Yeah, Alexion was definitely not the type to sit and "chat"

Then again, neither were the others For thekind ofit out than talk

"No," she said, sobering "But you could try to be nicer to them"

That familiar droll look came over his face "I don&039;t need to be nicer to them I just need to feel the to fall on The only ones we need to worry about are the ones who are undecided Tyrell may yet come around"

"I don&039;t know He had soo blow"

"Then again, he h sell"

She shook her head at him as she went upstairs to the media roon of Keller

Danger pulled the cell phone out of her pocket and called hio and gone hoht, Keller"

He wished her good night, then hung up

Alexion htly so that he could just inhale her scent of nolias and woman His body jerked and fired in reaction, but then he tended to keep an erection in her presence Everything about her fired his hormones

And it wasn&039;t just because he was horny

There was more to his attraction to her than that He liked her But ent, courageous woem

She stepped back, into his eainst his shoulder so that she could look up at hi in that look tore through hi his heart pound

Was she his savior or his downfall?

The thought of that terrified hi else had She had reawakened his emotions, made him care

Most of all she&039;dhad ever co him feel human There were times when he was around her when he swore he could alain He wanted her to distract him

Most of all, he wanted her to touch hiainst her cheek before he dipped his head down to kiss her She moaned deep in her throat and sank her hand in his hair as she turned in his arrowled at the sweetness of her kiss as his heart raced out of control Breaking away, he scooped her up in his ar this again Everything was going co with this mission and yet she made it all bearable Sohed as he laid her down on the bed, then joined her What was it about hiht had been a disaster, in more ways than one, and yet here with him it was okay

It didn&039;t make sense She just wanted to be held by him, to have hi but the two of them She&039;d never felt like this before

She rose up to capture his lips as he began unbuttoning her shirt He kneaded her breast with his hand, slow and gently She nuzzled her cheek to his, loving the way his whiskers pricked her skin It sent chills through her

Unable to stand it, she jerked his turtleneck over his head so that she could run her hands over the taut s around his waist and squeezed hihed in her ear

"You okay?" he whispered

"Yes But I want to eat you up"

He laughed again "It&039;s a good thing you&039;re not a Charonte Otherwise, I s"

His ansas another deep, passionate kiss as he unfastened her bra He pulled back to take her breast into his hted in the feel of his tongue pleasing her

Wanting to taste him too, she rolled over and pinned him to the bed

He looked at her quizzically as she pulled back and crawled down his body

Alexion ground his teeth at the sight of Dangerlove to hih him like a hot lance She smiled wickedly as she pulled his boots and socks off

He started to sit up, only to have her push him back

He&039;d never really liked for a woer it was different He enjoyed the way she looked as she reached for his fly Lying back, he watched as she undid his pants and his cock sprang forward

She hissed at the sight of him before she ran her smooth, cool palm from his base to his tip It was an effort not to co her lip, she slowly pulled his pants down his legs Still she wouldn&039;t let hiain "I want to look at you," she said insistently as she pulled the rest of her clothes off

His heart pounded at the sight of her pale beauty She was exquisite She picked his foot up to rub the sole of it with tender care Ripples of pleasure went through him, until she took a nip of the flesh there

"You&039;re killing edly

"There&039;s a reason whyto understand it exactly, especially when she took him into her mouth He couldn&039;t remember the last ti was certain, he&039;d never enjoyed it asin satisfaction, he cupped her face with his hand as she gave hiroaned at the salty taste of him She really did want to devour his She craved the scent and taste of this man and she didn&039;t even knohy

But she had to have more of him

He sat up suddenly and withdrew from her She was confused until he rolled her over, onto her back He positioned his so that he could taste her as well

Danger dug her heels into the bed as pleasure consu incredible about thisIt touched her that Alexion wasn&039;t content to just receive pleasure He took his ti sure that she was every bit as satisfied as he was

There were far too many men out there who couldn&039;t care less about a worateful he wasn&039;t one of the his senses dulled But even so there was no way to get around the fact that he adored this woue workedaway, he switched positions again so that he could sink himself deep inside her She hissed the instant he did and scoured his back with her nails

He&039;d barely started thrusting before she cahed in her ear as he took joy in the sound of her pleasured cries It sounded as if she were singing

Danger wrapped her body around his as he continued to thrust against her Each thrust went through her, heightening her orgasm even more She pulled his lips to hers and kissed him fiercely as hehi him like this He was incredible

She felt him tense an instant before he drove hi, she held him close as his climax claimed him When it was over, he collapsed on top of her and held her tight

Danger brushed his hair back from his face as they lay there lost in the aftermath of their passion It was quiet and still in the house But her heart ached with the thought of his leaving her All too soon he would be gone and her life would go on for eternity without him

"Is there any way you&039;ll ever be able to visit nret in his tone
