Gabriel's Mate by Folsom, Tina (fun books to read for adults .TXT) 📗

the same time made him hunger for more. This was what he’d been waiting for all his life without even knowing. Everything about her was perfect.

Gabriel lifted his head and growled. He would kill anybody who dared take her away from him. And he wouldn’t stop at the gates of heaven nor hell if the grim reaper ripped her from his arms. Because he recognized her now: Maya was his mate. Losing her would mean losing the only chance he had at happiness.

With this knowledge, he sank his mouth back onto her core and gave her what her body so desperately needed. His mind catalogued every groove of her pussy, every fold, every ridge as he enjoyed lapping his tongue against her slit. He noticed every tiny movement she made and every breath she took.

His heart drummed in his chest.

She was a feast, and he’d never had a more sumptuous buffet spread out only for him to indulge in. Without haste he devoured her, nibbled on her soft flesh, licked and sucked her heated skin. He watched for every reaction from her, every moan, every sigh.

His hands slipped underneath her ass to tilt her upwards so he could drive his tongue into her tight channel.

“Oh!” he heard her moan and wondered whether she was conscious.

He didn’t want to think of it, because he wouldn’t be able to stop now, even if she begged him to. Or would she beg him to continue?

Determined to give her the ultimate pleasure, he fucked his tongue in and out of her pussy, then alternated with licking her clit. The little bundle of flesh was engorged and erect. Every time he flicked his tongue against it, her body trembled. Gabriel sensed that she was close, and even though he didn’t want this to end, he knew what he had to do.

He slipped a finger into her wet folds and felt her muscles grip him tightly. He growled. If only it was his cock sheathing itself in her. With his mouth he sucked her clit and pulled it between his lips, pressing them together tightly.

Maya’s body shook. He felt the spasms in her pussy clench his finger and the waves lap against his lips as her climax rocked through her. Her scream was the purest sound of release he’d ever heard.

Gabriel kept his mouth surrounding her clit and licked against it gently as she rode out her orgasm.

Maya felt the waves of pleasure course through her body and greeted the release they brought with them. The heat in her body dissipated and for the first time in hours she could breathe. As she took a long deep breath, her nostrils flared. At the same time she noticed the heaviness on her groin and someone’s hot breath on her pussy.

p. Her eyes flew open.

There, between her spread legs, Gabriel’s mouth was centered over her still throbbing clit, and his tongue still stroked against it, threatening to ignite her once more.

“Gabriel.”

As if stung by a hornet, his head reared up and his gaze collided with hers. She’d never seen him like this. His eyes were dark with passion and his lips raw and moist from her juices. He’d sucked her while she’d been unconscious. She should feel violated, embarrassed at least, but strangely no such thoughts took hold. Was she turning into a completely wanton creature now that she was a vampire?

“Maya, I can explain.” His voice was laced with guilt and regret.

She didn’t understand it. She watched him shift his position and climb up the bed to sit next to her, as his hand quickly pulled on her nightdress to cover her nakedness with the fabric.

She noticed now how nervous he was, as if he’d gotten caught doing something he shouldn’t be doing. Well, she had caught him, but she didn’t mind what he’d been doing. Her only regret was that she hadn’t been awake for it.

“What were you doing?” she asked.

Gabriel ran his hand through his long hair, which was loose today –

no ponytail. She liked it and felt the urge to sink her hands into the rich mane.

“I’m sorry. I had to do it. The doc and the witch, they both said …”

He broke off and looked away.

Why was he avoiding her now? She gripped his chin with her hand and forced him to look at her. “Tell me what’s going on.”

He blinked. “You were in heat. The doc said you’d die if nobody satisfied you. So they decided that I should do it.” He dropped his lids and looked down.

“They?”

“Drake and the witch.”

Maya didn’t know who the witch was, but she didn’t care. What was important was that Gabriel had been forced to do this. He’d done it to save her, not because he wanted her. “They made you do it?”

He nodded. “Please believe me. I would have never taken advantage of you this way, if I hadn’t feared for your life.”

Maya swallowed the lump in her throat that had risen at his words.

He would have never touched her otherwise. Only because she had been in danger. So he still felt he was responsible for her – that was all. “I thank you, and I’m sorry that you were forced to do this against your will.” She steeled herself against the pain it caused her to know that he’d touched her without wanting to.

“Maya, that’s not what I meant.”

She stared at him as he looked up again.

“I wanted to do it. I wanted nothing more than to make you come with my hands and my mouth. I’d promised myself to leave you as much dignity as I could, but Maya, when I looked at you, I couldn’t help myself. I …” There was anguish in his face. She couldn’t fathom why.

He’d wanted to touch her, and the knowledge of it warmed her heart.

He’d felt something. He was attracted to her, just the way she was attracted to him.

“Gabriel, why are you torturing yourself?” She reached for his face and cupped
