Guild Hunter 01 - Angels' Blood

and heavy and delicious over her. And she wanted him in her. Now . “Men and their egos,” she muttered, just to piss him off a little. “Now do it, Riley. Or I’ll find someone else.”
    He held her head where it was for another long second before lowering his face to hers, those amber eyes telling her exactly who was in charge inside him at that moment. “What did you say?” Quiet, quiet words.
    She clawed his back again. This time, the wolf growled at her and the next few minutes passed in a fury of torn clothing and ravaging kisses, cries of pleasure intermingled with moans. And suddenly he was naked above her. Strong, hot, beautiful. She rose up against him, feeling her eyes go leopard as he put one hand on her thigh to hold her down and nudged at her with the aroused length of him.
    She went to reach down, but he growled at her. Normally she’d have growled back, but the man was making her feel so damn good. So she wrapped her other leg around him and thrust her hands into his hair, rocking her body upward. “I want you in me.”
    He began to push in. She sucked in a breath. The man was hard as rock and thick enough to make her muscles stretch to the edge of pain. She shuddered. “More.”
    He took her at her word, thrusting into her with a slow, intensely erotic focus that had her inner muscles starting to spasm in ecstasy even before he was fully inside. Then he was and she’d never felt so taken in her life. But he only gave her a minute to get used to him before his lips took hers once again, even as his body slammed in and out of her with a power her leopard gloried in—wolf or not, this man was worth dancing with.
    She moved with him, kissing him back, running her hands over his body and nipping at him just because. He kept her pinned to the earth as he took her, as if he knew exactly how damn much she needed a good, hard ride. When she orgasmed, it was with a sharp cry, a lush clenching around the thick heat of him and a burst of starlight behind her eyes.
    Lights that continued to flicker even after she came back down to earth. Riley was still hot and aroused in her, moving with unapologetically powerful thrusts that pushed her to another peak in moments. She bit his neck in the wolf way this time, and it finally pushed him over the edge with her.

    She threw the knife with deadly accuracy. Raphael caught it in midair—by the blade. His blood flowed crimson, bright against the gilded perfection of his skin. “Was it not you who bled the last time?” he asked conversationally as he dropped the blade to the formerly pristine white carpet and tightened his hand into a fist. The blood flow halted within a single second.
    “You made me close my hand over a blade.” Her heart was still racing from witnessing the sheer speed of him. Dear God. And she’d taken this man to her bed. Craved him even now.
    “Hmm.” He rose to his feet, walked to her.
    At that moment, though he’d said he’d never hurt her, she wasn’t so sure. Her fingers clenched under the sheet as he came to sit in front of her, one of his wings lying over her legs. It was a warm, surprisingly heavy weight. Angel wings weren’t for show—as she was beginning to learn—they were pure muscle and tendon over bone, and like any other muscle, they had to be strengthened prior to use. Before, she’d only had to worry about tripping if she overtired herself. Now, she had to worry about falling out of the sky.
    But that wasn’t the danger that danced in front of her eyes right then.
    No, all she saw was blue.
    Never before Raphael had blue been the color of sin. Of seduction. Of pain.
