One Month Later…

“ M o ghrá,” Kale managed to get out on a moan when he felt his incredibly beautiful mate kiss her way down his stomach and-

Tore a groan from him when her soft lips brushed against the tip of his cock, causing his fangs to rip through his gums in record time seconds before he felt her small, warm hand wrap around his cock and slowly stroked him as her lips parted and guaranteed that he wasn’t leaving this bed tonight. He raised himself up on his elbows so that he could watch his mate push the sheet down as she followed the move with her mouth, slowly sliding her mouth down his cock.

So fucking good, Kale thought on a groan as she slowly stroked his cock in time with her mouth, sending pleasure throughout his body as he dropped back down on the bed. Before his back hit the mattress, he was reaching for her. He grabbed hold of her hips and picked her up, careful not to interrupt what she was doing to his cock and pulled her over him so that her knees were straddling his head.

When he saw the white cotton panties outlining the soft curves of her lips, Kale leaned up and kissed the soft material and tore a soft moan from the one woman that he couldn’t live without. As he kissed a path over her lips, Kale reached up and hooked his fingers in the waistband of her panties and pulled until the soft cotton material tore apart and dropped away, revealing the soft lips that he couldn’t wait to bury his cock between.

He continued kissing a path along her slit, keeping his kisses teasing, knowing just how much she liked it. When she spread her legs further apart a moment later, causing the soft lips to part, Kale pressed a kiss against her swollen little clit, earning a moan around his cock. He would never be able to get enough of her, Kale thought as he traced her clit with his tongue before gently taking it between his lips and-

“Kale,” Ashley moaned as his cock slipped free from her lips. He ran his hands over her back and ass as he took his time licking her, alternating between teasing her clit and sliding his tongue inside her while she was forced to rest her forehead against his thigh as she moaned his name.

When she began moving her hips, desperate to ride his tongue, Kale licked her swollen little clit one last time before he picked her up and gently placed her on the bed next to him and-

“Mo ghrá,” Kale groaned when Ashley immediately climbed onto his lap, the move causing her soft, wet pussy to spread open over his cock.

“I missed you,” Ashley whispered as she leaned over him and took his lips in a teasing kiss while she shifted to get more comfortable, the move causing her swollen little clit to brush against the underside of his cock.

“How much?” Kale asked, running his hands down her back to her ass and gave it a gentle squeeze, letting her know just how much he liked the way she moved.

“Enough to overlook the fact that you forgot to pick up the cheesecake that you promised me,” Ashley whispered as she moved, gently rolling her hips so that her clit teased the spot just beneath the tip of his cock.

“I didn’t forget,” Kale said as he broke off the kiss and began kissing his way down her throat. “It’s in the fridge downstairs.”

“Did you remember to put it on my shelf?” Ashley asked, making his lips twitch as he slid his hand between their bodies and cupped her breast.

“I remembered,” Kale promised her, not bothering to mention that he’d also written her name on the box to ensure that they didn’t have a repeat of what happened last week when he left the box of donuts he bought for her on the counter. Not after Ashley stood there, sniffling sadly while her bottom quivered as she looked from the half-eaten donut in Drew’s hand to the half-empty bakery box on the counter until the shifter broke and ran out to get her more donuts.

She was so fucking kind and incredibly sweet, Kale thought as he gently squeezed the large breast in his hand while his mate continued moving. He couldn’t seem to get enough of her. Morning, noon, and night, he wanted her and when he wasn’t with her, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. She was everything that he didn’t realize that he was missing in his life and so much more.

Christ, he loved her more than anything.

“God, that feels so good,” Ashley whispered on a moan as she kept moving, every roll of her hips causing his cock to strain against her, desperate for more.

When she rolled her hips back all the way until her soft pussy was teasing the base of his cock in the familiar move that told him everything that he needed to know, Kale released her breast and slid his hand down her side, over her ass and joined his other hand in gently squeezing as Ashley rolled her hips forward and-

Tore a groan from him when she took her time, causing her wet pussy to rub the underside of his cock before the move placed her core against the tip of his cock. With a soft moan, Ashley began pushing back, slowly taking the tip of his cock inside of her as her mouth found his.

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 his name, 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 cancer came 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.

If Ephraim hadn’t killed the Sentinel, Kale would have ripped his fucking throat out.

“Your hold on me was destroyed the moment your doctor tried to kill my mate and child, Sentinel,” Caine reminded him.

“Cut the bullshit and tell us what you’re doing here,” Kale said, knowing the Sentinel well enough to know that he wasn’t stupid enough to waste his time over the bullshit hold the Council thought they had over Caine.

“The Council is willing to make a deal,” Eric said after a slight hesitation, making everyone chuckle, that is, except for Ephraim, who simply glared at the Sentinel.

Kale watched the way Ephraim struggled to stay in control as he glared at the Sentinel and-

He wasn’t handling Jill’s death well.

Not even a little fucking bit.

When the Pyte wasn’t pacing the hallways at night, he was searching for answers, going on patrol, and training until his hands were raw, anything so that he didn’t have to face the fact that he’d lost another child. His mate was barely doing any better. Madison spent her days taking care of their children, making sure that they knew just how much they were loved and at night…

Christ, her quiet sobs nearly fucking broke him every time he heard them.

“You used my daughter to lure the leech out,” Ephraim said, allowing his eyes to flash red as he watched the Sentinel.

“Yes, we did,” Eric admitted as he met the Pyte’s glare.

“You have nothing left to negotiate,” Kale said, moving to get up only to go still when the Sentinel spoke again.

“Logan.”

“What about him?” Ephraim demanded, watching the Sentinel closely.

“The Council has ordered his death, but they’re willing to negotiate.” Eric began, “They’ll lower the order to capture if Logan gives them what they want and you give them access to Ashley.”

“Never fucking happening,” Kale bit out.

“We’re done negotiating,” Christofer bit out at the mention of his sister.

“We need to know where Logan is,” Eric said, making him chuckle.

“You’re not touching him,” Kale said, allowing his eyes to flash red.

“You’re out of your fucking mind if you really think that I’m going to let him live,” Ephraim bit out coldly as his gaze locked on Kale.

“You’re not touching him,” Kale bit out with a look that told the Pyte exactly what would happen if he tried. No matter how much Logan had pissed him off over the years, and Christ, had he pissed him off, Kale would never forget that he was the one who’d been there for him after Aine died.

For that alone, he owed the asshole.

“We can’t let you touch him,” Eric said, drawing Ephraim’s attention. “Not yet.”

“And why’s that, Sentinel?” Ephraim drawled only to have his eyes flash silver at the Sentinel’s next words.

“Because we’re hoping that he’ll lead us to Magnus.”
