Chapter Eleven
Nadia quickly obeyed, panting in anticipation. Angel started to move inside her again, slowly this time while fighting down his beast and the animalistic instinct to sink his teeth into her flesh. It was hard and his beast did surface for a few seconds or so but he was able to keep him tamed as he mated with his woman -- truly mate with her for the first time. The pleasure was profound.
"Angel! Please, don't stop," Nadia said in a shaky whisper. It felt so good, she wanted him to never stop.
"Believe me, I can't," Angel replied, sounding equally overwhelmed. Thinking his answer might not make sense to her, he added, "I will not." His speech was a slow drawl as he spoke with his fangs extended.
The experience shadowed the one they shared earlier and tripled all her expectations and even her daydreams. Nadia lost count of how many times he made her come. When Angel neared release, he grunted hard, holding her thighs in almost a painful grip, his claws dug into her flesh. Nadia whimpered with pain and pleasure. The sound made him freeze. Panting and with chest heaving, he lowered his eyes to her naked thighs and breathed a sigh of relief that he hadn't broken her flesh, but he saw he had slightly bruised her. He started to withdraw from her.
"Angel no! Don't stop!" Nadia cried in feverish need, struggling to hold on to him.
"Shh… Nadie, shh," Angel cooed, feeling the same intense emotions that were making her frantic to have them both connected again. He understood why, but she didn't. "I'm just changing position," he rasped as he slowly kissed her, careful to not nip her with his teeth.
"Okay, can I open my eyes?"
"No," he replied, swallowing hard. His claws were still out and he was certain his teeth were visible now too. With her eyes still closed, she ran her fingers all over his massive chest, causing Angel to take deep calming breaths. "Nadie?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to withdraw from you completely," he said in a quiet warning and watched her immediately raise her arms to wrap around his neck in silent protest, pressing her face to his chest.
His heart soared. Using his knuckle to raise up her chin, he trailed his lips down her throat. "Only because I want you to turn around, and bend over for me, Nadie. I'm trying to make this about pleasure and not cause you pain," he rasped in a drawl. Nadia nodded, allowing him to put her down. Angel spread her robe on the grassy patch and guided her to it.
Nadia lowered to her knees, going on all fours. Angel paused for breath, admiring her beautiful naked body on total display for him. He knelt behind her and folded his body snugly against her back. Nadia moaned at the warm feel of his skin against hers. Neither of them minded the cold.
Angel put a hand in between her legs to make her widen them for him and slowly slipped into her. Nadia gasped with pleasure. Before she could make any more sound, Angel made her crane her neck and latched his mouth to hers and pushed deeper still into her. Nadia shook hard in his warm embrace.
And with his lips covering hers and his strong arms wrapped around her, Angel increased his pace, fucking her hard and fast. Nadia muffled cries of pleasure were music to his very soul. When Angel was about to come, he tried to pull out of her but she didn't let him. She made him fuck her until he came inside her. His semen was warm, filling her up inside. Nadia moaned, calling out his name.
Angel took a long calming breath, taming his beast and noting how sated he seemed. His claws and sharp teeth regressed. He let out a shaky breath. An unexplainable feeling of contentment settled inside him. It wasn't a feeling he was used to. He was usually brimming with anger and violence – a deep seething feeling of vengeance. And now all the emotions seemed suppressed and all he felt was peace.
"Nadie…" Angel rasped.
Breathing hard, Nadia slowly opened her eyes and they both stared into each other's eyes. Angel thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He raised his hand to cup her chin, and slowly lowered his face to take her lips again. The thought of how she had made him come inside her gnawed at him and for a moment there, he thought perhaps the action was deliberate. He wondered if this was another tactic of her uncle -- a new deranged experiment. The thought that this might not mean anything to her but some manipulative evil scheme fought his peaceful reprieve.
Nadia watched with fascination as his eyes shimmered with different emotions, causing them to grow a darker shade of grey. Angel pulled out of her, still holding her gaze. Nadia turned to him and moved closer, not giving him room to get up. She raised one hand to cup his jaw, and he tensed up, an action that alarmed her and made her eyes dart in their sockets as she searched his gaze.
"Did I do something wrong, Angel?" she asked, and couldn't help sounding vulnerable.
"Why did you make me come inside you?" he asked gruffly.
"I just didn't want you to pull out of me."
"Why?"
"I … I," she stuttered as she tried to think of the words to describe her momentary pleasure-induced insanity. Her face burned with embarrassment.
"Are you not scared that I might get you pregnant? Or could it be that that is what you want? For me to get you pregnant," he fired at her in a cool tone while he gave her keen scrutiny.
Pain tore at her inside. He doesn't trust her and could she blame him? Nadia let out a sigh, suddenly feeling the chilly weather. Angel succeeded in warming her body and keeping her mind on other things but now it was hitting her full force. Her inside felt frozen.
"I … I am not ovulating. It is not that time of the month for me. I'm sorry if that upset you. I um… should go," she said. Her heart tightened painfully in her chest and to her consternation tears welled in her eyes. She looked away but he could feel her distress and saw the watery shine.
"Nadia…" he called but she ignored him and reached for the straps of her lingerie that was now a tangled mess around her waist, and pulled them up, slipping them up her arms. When she tried to get up, he reached for her forearms and jerked her against his front. He used one hand to cup the nape of her neck and the other to frame the side of her neck.
"Why did you make me come inside you?" he persisted.
"I thought you already had that part figured out, " Nadia replied. Tears slipped down her face but she looked directly into his eyes, unflinching. Angel continued to search her gaze.
"Humour me…"
"Is just as you said," she replied. Anger flared in his eyes and her lips trembled.
"Is that so?"
"Yes!" she enunciated with gritted teeth.
"Why then are you crying, Nadie?" he asked with a mocking tilt of his lips.
"Let me go, Angel."
"Now you want me to let you go? A minute ago you were begging me to fuck you and never stop!" he growled in a low tone, leaning into her so his lips brushed hers.
"Angel."
"I bet I could drive you to that point again. Make you feverish with the need of me and make you beg and beg…" he said as he used his teeth to draw her lower lip into his mouth, holding her gaze. Nadia released a shaky breath. Angel pulled down one of her straps, exposing her left breast and slowly brushed the back of his hand against her beaded nipple. Nadia quivered on her knees.
With his eyes still glued to hers, he held the hardened flesh in between his fingers and slowly pulled and brushed his fingertips against the sensitive bud. Nadia's eyelids fluttered. Angel suckled on her lower lips, pulling her even closer to his front until their bodies were touching. When he probed her lips wide open and whispered, "give me your tongue, Nadie." She fought an inner battle to not give in. She tried to pull back but he tightened his hold on her, using the hand on her nape to cup the back of her neck, he deepened the kiss while the other hand continued to stroke her breast.
In the back of his mind, he tried to remind himself that he had started off to humiliate her but he wasn't so sure anymore. He was losing himself in the kiss and after a while, he forgot what the aim was. And when Nadia started to kiss him back, he realized he wasn't alone.
