Free Whispers of Night: 1 (Immortal Embrace) by Erin Simone Page B

hear about your loss.” He felt bad for his friend. It explained a lot about him though. Ta’breyian’s wounds must be deep because Dane had never seen the man even glance in a female’s direction. His demeanor was always detached around the opposite sex.
    “I haven’t shared my secret with anyone until now. Claim her or let her go. Those are your only options.”
    “I won’t take her life and that’s final. She’s safe during the day and at night I’ll watch her place. Rogues won’t get past me.”
    “Very well but I’d advise you to refrain from sharing sex with the girl.” Ta’breyian crossed his arms over his chest.
    Does he never quit? “I know you’re concerned. But I’ll decide what’s best.” He glanced away as he tried to quell the surge of frustration. A lack of self-control was what started him down this path in the first place, so losing his temper with Ta’breyian wasn’t going to help the situation.
    “Regret isn’t easy to live with. I should know. Your mate is awake. I bid you farewell.” Ta’breyian’s expression was grave as he quickly disappeared. Dane knew his friend meant well and was only trying to keep him from experiencing the same fate.
    Dane turned as Jenny entered the living room. She wore his white shirt unbuttoned, revealing creamy skin and plump breasts. Her pale-pink nipples were covered just enough to tease him.
    Mm…he could taste them now. God, she was a sexy creature. He wanted to sink between those perfect thighs. Hunger and the need to fill her made his cock swell beneath his boxers. What he wouldn’t give to be inside that tight little pussy again.
    “What’s the matter? Can’t sleep?” she asked.
    “I’ve got a lot on my mind.”
    “I thought I heard voices. Were you talking to someone?”
    Damn, that was a close call. “I was on a call with my office in London.”
    “They start their day early.” She moved a little closer.
    “We have a lot of overseas clients who are handled through that office so they open much earlier,” he replied.
    “Hmm…that’s true.” She smiled, “Are you done working?”
    His eyes roved over her greedily and the sight of her sweet little cleft had him fighting the urge to bury his face there, to taste her desire. “Yes, I’m done.” He closed his eyes, trying to regain some control.
    “Will you come back to bed with me then?”
    Shit, he couldn’t say no.
    He forced himself to meet her gaze. She was too beautiful for words. Those lips, luscious and begging to be kissed until she couldn’t breathe. All his good intentions fell apart in her presence.
    “What am I going to do with you?” He reached for her, dying to have her in his arms again.
    She let out a soft moan as his lips descended on her. His pulse was racing and his dick swelled to a painful degree. Fuck logic, he wanted her. Right here, right now. He couldn’t wait. Her arms came around his neck and he could feel the crush of her breasts against his chest. He hissed at the contact, reveling in their glorious softness. He brushed his lips against the curve of her neck. He mentally switched gears and would not allow himself to think of anything but pleasuring her.
    “I want you again, please, Dane.” Her voice, a husky purr that radiated need.
    He sucked her bottom lip, covering her mouth with his. She gasped his name as he pinched her nipples. Hot, possessive desire coursed through him. He nearly groaned when she reached down to stroke his aching cock still trapped in his boxers.
    “I’m going to take you here, I can’t wait,” he rasped against her throat, taking her with him to the rug below.
    “I don’t care,” she moaned loudly, rubbing her sex against his erection. He reached between them to pull it free. She was made to be his. But how could he do this again, knowing he should leave? He bent over her and wondered how he was going to get through another round of sex with this woman without losing his mind.
