being more aware of the mental blocks he used to keep Damien from seeing things he’d rather kept secret. “I would rather not discuss them. Focus on the upcoming fight. If needed, I can train you more before the final battle as I did before.”

Damien patted Kain’s shoulder, wishing Kain a good night and looking forward to training with his old teacher.

Kain smiled. “Good night, brother.”

Chapter Twenty-Four

When Kain got back to the bedroom following his talk with Damien, Tala sat on the edge of the bed wearing a black, lace nightgown. On her face she wore make-up Kain never expected to see including deep purple eye shadow and mascara. Her lips radiated a ruby red which she licked while smiling and arching her body forward, her eyes half-lidded.

Kain looked away a moment then back at her with a coy smile.

Tala reached out her arms, hands open to welcome her lover into her embrace. “Are you going to stand there or join me?”

Kain took his time, removing his shirt and strolling towards her, watching her hungry eyes roam over his body. When he got close enough, his mate’s cheek came to rest against the crest of his family on his hip. Her nails traced his abs light enough to bring about chill. They moved up to his chest, tracing the scars, stopping when they met the wounds Kyle dressed.

When she looked up at him, mentally asking him what happened, he promised he’d tell her after they’d made love. For the moment, his words appeared to appease his obviously hungry mate.

Tala’s tongue ran a path over his lower stomach down to the deep V of his hip, its wet heat driving him wild. All the previous night’s concerns melted away into a lust and need he’d been denied earlier that night. The heat of his body made sweat begin to cause his tan skin to glisten in the faint light.

Breathing heavy, Kain found he couldn’t speak. His body shivered beneath his lover’s tickling. A small gasp erupted from his mouth when she began to unbutton and unzip his jeans.

He gripped her hair, tangling the deep red strands through his fingers. The other ran over the exposed flesh on her shoulder.

“I wanted your attention, my love.” Tala’s hands caressed Kain’s hips and thighs as she led his jeans to the floor, finding he had nothing beneath them.

As he had earlier, Kain lifted Tala’s small body onto the bed and proceeded to pin her down with his weight and firm kisses. Moving to his knees, Kain took the fabric of the dress and pulled it above Tala’s head, dropping it to the ground. His muscles flexed and relaxed as he fiddled with the clasps of her bra which he tossed aside.

Kain led her to lie back down on the sheets, leaning in close and speaking hot in her ear. “You will always have my attention, my lady.”

After removing her panties, Kain let his hands explore every piece of her body. A soft growl emitted through his fangs at the feeling of Tala’s hands as they ran over his chest, back and arms. She raised her leg, to rub his hip, her foot running the length of his thigh to his calf.

While Kain moved his attention to her breasts, Tala took his hair in her hands. He felt her wince when he bit her nipple. The sounds Tala made as her nails dug into his back ignited the same carnal desires as the night the wolf inside took over.

Kain allowed his fangs to roll over the skin of his mate’s breasts, down her stomach, eventually returning his attention to her eyes. He smiled as he teased her tender opening only for a moment prior to easing inside of her. His hips moved slow, going as deep as he could with each smooth motion.

Tala’s body arched, pushing her pelvis against Kain’s. Gentle moans and subtle gasps echoed in the dark room. The sting of her nails on his skin and the murmurs in his ear brought the orgasm ever closer.

He could feel the muscles inside of her growing tighter. Kain closed his eyes, his own pleasure almost unbearable. A growl, more wolf than man, came through elongated, clenched fangs.

Feeling she was close to her orgasm, Kain took Tala’s lips with his, wrapping his arms around her as he released into her.

Winded, he lay on his side next to her, his head propped up in his hand.

The petite woman rolled to the opposite side. She scooted back to fit perfectly into her lover’s sweat-soaked body.

Kain kissed Tala’s hair, his hand rubbing her side down to her lower belly. “Tala, there is something you need to know.”

Tala looked over her shoulder, her eyes searching Kain’s with creased, worried brows.

Kain told her what Kyle told him when he arrived. He came clean about where he’d been the past two days and assured her he was okay, careful to leave out the deal he made with Barghast. The last thing he told her about was Zane’s plan to infiltrate Crimson and kill Anthony.

Kain had to move his face to avoid being elbowed when Tala jerked up and away from him. Her eyes burned with anger. “I don’t like this plan.”

“Tala.”

“No, Alex! I nearly lost you. You’re putting yourself in front of a vampire who’s been driven mad by bloodlust. Did you ever once think about how terrified this makes me?” She slid from the bed and turned her back on Kain.

Sighing, he got up to go join her, placing his hand on her shoulder only to have it shoved off. “I understand your feelings. I would rather not do this either. This must end for the sake of our people. You and our child.”

Tala whirled around, her eyes misty with tears as she yelled at him. “Alex, how many times have you almost died? How much of your blood have you spilled for others? For the love of Luna, it’s your life!”

Tears streamed down Tala’s eyes.

Kain didn’t
