She took her time moving, savoring the feel of his cock slowly making its way inside her. Before she took the last inch of his cock inside her, Ashley broke off the kiss and slowly sat up, the move causing her to slide down until her soft lips were pressed against him. She was so goddamn beautiful, Kale thought, unable to help but moan as he watched her lick her lips.

He watched her eyes flicker silver and red as she slowly rolled her hips, squeezing his cock just right. Groaning, Kale placed his hands on her thighs and slowly moved them up, unable to take his eyes off her as she moved. He ran his hands up her thighs, over the soft swell of her belly, where he paused to gently caress where their baby girl was growing before his hands slid over her breasts.

Moaning his name, Ashley covered his hands with hers and slowly pushed one of his hands back down her body until his hand was resting just beneath her navel and-

“God, yes,” Ashley whispered on a moan, licking her lips as her eyes fluttered shut and her head dropped back as he teased her swollen little clit with the pad of his thumb while he watched her move.

For several minutes, Kale was content to lay there, watching his mate move over him as her wet sheath gripped and caressed his aching cock. Every roll of her hips was better than the last time, leaving him desperate for more. When she whispered hisname, Kale caressed her swollen little clit one last time as he sat up and wrapped an arm around her as he took her mouth in a slow, hungry kiss while he pulled her closer.

Keeping his hold around her, Kale moved, taking her with him and laid her down on the bed. As soon as her back touched the mattress, he was moving, rolling his hips as he continued kissing her, losing himself in the way that she touched him, moaned when her tongue moved against his, and squeezed his cock.

When Ashley broke off the kiss and began kissing her way down his throat, Kale’s hands fisted the sheets when he felt her lips brush against his throat seconds before he felt the tips of her fangs press against his skin. With a moan, she pushed her fangs inside his neck, tearing a groan from him as pleasure surged through his body.

He never thought he’d enjoy something like this, never thought that he’d crave having his mate bite him while he sank his cock inside of her, but now…

Just thinking about his small mate sliding her fangs in his neck was enough to make him hard. Licking his lips, Kale rolled his hips and slowly pulled back until the tip of his cock was the only thing inside her before slowly sliding back inside, taking his time so that he could savor the feel of her wet sheath caressing his cock.

When Ashley whimpered against his neck, Kale moved faster, harder, and gave in to the pleasure tearing through his body. She was so fucking wet, so tight, and-

“Mo ghrá.”

-nearly fucking died of pleasure when he felt her sheath tighten around him seconds before she began milking his cock. She broke off the bite to moan against his neck as her back arched off the bed and his name was torn from her lips in a scream.

Struggling to catch his breath, Kale kissed her forehead before pressing his forehead against hers and-

“Remember how much I missed you?” Ashley asked, sounding really fucking hopeful. Chuckling, Kale kissed her again as he reluctantly pulled back only to bite back a groan when the move caused her sheath to caress his sensitive cock one last time before it slipped free.

“Why don’t I go get you a slice of cheesecake?” Kale suggested, brushing his lips against hers before he moved to climb off the bed.

“That would be lovely,” Ashley said with a sniffle. “Thank you.”

“I’ll be right back,” Kale said, brushing his lips against hers one last time before he leaned down and kissed the soft swell of her belly.

With that, Kale pulled on a pair of jeans and made his way into the hallway, closing the door behind him. He quickly made his way downstairs and moved to make his way to the kitchen when he caught the Sentinel’s scent. For a moment, Kale considered ignoring him, but he was curious, which was the reason why he made his way outside to find the large Sentinel pacing in front of the brownstone.

“You’ve got five minutes,” Kale said, never taking his eyes off the large Sentinel as he sat down on the stone steps.

“I only need two,” Eric said, looking really fucking relieved. “I need a favor.”

“You want to talk to my mate,” Kale said as he took in the fresh scar the Sentinel received from the Pyte joining them when he broke the news that they’d fucked up and allowed his daughter to get killed, marking the side of his face.

“Never going to happen,” Ephraim said before the Sentinel could respond, which was understandable considering everything that happened.

Granted, he never would have handed his daughter over to the Sentinels in the first place, but considering what would have happened to Jill if a vampire, demon, or shifter had gotten their hands on her…

That mark put a fucking target on her neck, identifying her to every vampire, shifter, and demon that crossed her path that she was a vampire’s property. With so many demons, vampires, and shifters working for the Sentinels coming and going from the house, having Jill here hadn’t been an option, not when the vampire that marked her was the most hated vampire alive.

“Why’s that?” Eric asked as he met Ephraim’s glare head-on.

“You’re no longer welcome, Sentinel,” Caine said as he joined them along with Drew and Christofer.

“You’re still on probation with the Council,” Eric pointed out, making Kale wonder if he truly believed that they were going to play by the Sentinels’ rules after everything that happened.

They’d locked Jill up in a fucking cell when they’d promised to place her in a secured wing using the same excuse why she hadn’t been allowed to stay with her family. The Sentinels had vampires, shifters and demons that worked for them roaming the compound that would have done anything to get their hands on her. The only way that they were able to guarantee her safety was to lock her in a cell in one of the lower levels with restricted access, which meant that Ephraim and Madison hadn’t been allowed to visit her, call her, send her an email or even a fucking birthday card out of fear that someone would find out that Jill was there.

Only to end up letting her get killed the moment they tried to move her.

If that wasn’t bad enough, they’d fucked up and placed one of their Sentinels in the Williams’ mansion only to discover that he’d sold them out to Magnus all so that he could make Caine pay for killing his mate. He’d made sure that Danni’s cancercame back and left her to suffer with the hopes of breaking Caine and when that didn’t work, he threatened to kill their newborn son. He took Indie from them, brought the war to their door, and sent a fucking shifter and Occultus demons after Kale’s mate and made sure that Council and Magnus knew exactly what Ashley’s blood could do.
