Page 10 of Sylas's Captivating Mate

He ran his thumbs along her hips, then settled between her thighs, sliding his hands underneath to lift her to his mouth. He tongued her core slowly, lapping at her heat and circling her entrance, before he licked a slow path to her clit. Her toes curled against his back as she lifted her hips to meet him.

Closing his lips over her clit, he sucked lightly then rubbed his tongue in quick circles around the bud until she moaned loudly and slapped her hands on the mattress. He knew he’d found the spot to send her over the edge. He purred loudly, making his tongue vibrate against her clit, and she kicked her head back and gripped the blankets as she came, her thighs tightening against his shoulders and her skin flushing.

Prowling up her body, he kissed his way to her breasts, kissing and licking them until she fisted her hands in his hair and tugged him up to her lips for a deep kiss. His cock touched her slick heat as their bodies connected, and when she tilted her hips and the thick head pushed in, he lifted from her lips to groan as he pressed inside fully.

Her pussy was tight and hot and gripped him just right.

She moaned his name, her pussy gripping him as a wave of pleasure made her quiver in his arms.

Tilting his hips, he slid from her body until just the thick head of his cock was inside, and then he thrust back in. He pulled out and pressed back again, and again, and again.

He grasped the headboard with one hand and slid his other hand under her hips, lifting her as he rose to his knees. She let out a sharp cry as he pounded into her, her hands wrapped around the headboard and holding tightly as he fucked her hard and fast. He was holding onto his control by a thread, his orgasm riding him as hard as he was riding her, but he didn’t want to come until she was fully blissed out.

Tilting her hips a little more, he pressed deeply into her, then grasped her leg and lifted it, resting her ankle on his shoulder. Her body was fully open for him, her body slick with heat and her eyes glowing with passion. Kissing her knee, he pressed his thumb to her clit and leaned forward, slamming his hips against hers while she writhed in his hold, helpless to do anything but take the pleasure he wanted to give her.

Her whole body locked up, her nipples tightening, her fangs erupting from her gums, and the headboard cracking as she gripped the slats. She came, her pussy gripping him so tight that his eyes rolled back in his head as his hips moved a few more times as he came, deep inside her. The headboard cracked again under his hand as he leaned forward and bit her exposed neck, sinking his fangs into her flesh. He panted against her throat, his cock still buried in her heat, their bodies pressed tightly together.

She fisted his hair and jerked his head to the side, then sank her fangs into his throat. His body sprang back to life, his erection hardening in her as her fangs pierced him and she drank.

She licked the mark and hummed, wrapping her legs around his waist as they made love a second time.

This time it was slower. Love and not just sex, the dance between mates and not the hurried coupling of two people who couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Granted, he knew he’d never be able to keep his hands off her, but this time they could take their time, knowing they were well and truly mated, belonging to each other forever.

Chapter Five

Sylas woke slowly, his neck still throbbing from where his beautiful mate had taken a drink of his blood after he’d marked her. He touched the space, feeling the ridge of scars and knowing that at some point, he’d become a vampire as well, immortal and fully bound to her as immortal mates.

He couldn’t wait.

But first, he wanted to get to the bottom of whoever was targeting the kiss, because he didn’t want to join up with the group and be unable to help during the daytime, when the attacks seemed to come more often.

As Georgia slept on his chest, he gingerly grabbed his phone to check the time, and saw a few texts from his family as well as Alaric.

He responded to Ronan and Taryn’s texts of congratulations, promising to bring his mate to meet them soon.

Then he opened Alaric’s message.

I got your message about your mate, congratulations. Also, I saw Nash’s report about her accident and that you believe her tires were shot and she was being watched from the woods. Can you please call me when you’re able to discuss?

Slipping from the warmth of the bed, he moved silently out of the room and shut the door, then called Alaric once he was in the front room.

“Sorry to drag you from your mating bed,” Alaric said.

“No worries, I was going to reach out to you anyway. So yes, Georgia said she heard popping sounds before her tires went flat. I looked and the flat tires had huge, gaping holes in them, so I do think the popping she heard was from a rifle. She felt like she was being watched from the woods, and when I got there, I felt the same thing.”

“You didn’t see anyone, though?”

“No, it was just a feeling.”

“If it was near dawn, then it wasn’t a vampire, unless they had a way to get out of the sunlight.” Alaric hummed. “We know there’s a kiss that’s targeting the Belle Terra kiss, we just don’t know why. But I wanted to tell you that two more kiss members were targeted, just like Georgia.”

Alaric explained that Isla and Richard, who both worked at the club, had left a few hours before dawn to pick up a delivery for the bar that hadn’t made it onto the truck. On the way back, their van had its tires shot out and they crashed. Fortunately, a kiss member happened to be on the road at the same time and picked them up.”

Sylas frowned. “Someone is targeting kiss members by shooting out their tires?”

“It appears so. We had already said kiss members shouldn’t be out alone, but we hadn’t suggested they needed more than one vehicle when traveling. We wouldn’t have had an issue getting to Isla and Richard before sunrise, but Georgia was a different story.”

“Georgia told me she sent a few texts to kiss members that she was on the way home before she left. Lia, Nash, and a couple others I can’t remember off the top of my head. Could someone be monitoring kiss communications?”
