Daliah POV
I roll my eyes "Because Vladimir is convinced that I should be his mate" I cringe inwardly. "He believes we would create the most powerful children who would grow to rule the underworld."
Caleb nods and then furrows his brow "but that doesn't explain why the rest of the demons are so willing to have you on board." He looks at me in confusion.
I shrug "demons are so simple minded. They follow power and Vlad has that power. He tells them to respect me and they don’t ask questions."
Caleb nods and leans back. He takes a few moments to absorb everything I've told him.
I start flipping through the channels looking for something to watch while he ponders the wonders of my life.
"Why don't you have a mate?"
I drop the remote not expecting that question. "umm..."
He chuckles and picks up the remote. He starts to hand it back to me but doesn't let go so I turn to look into his soft kind eyes.
"You don't have to answer that, D. I wasn't trying to make you uncomfortable I'm just genuinely curious." he shrugs and let's go of the remote and leans back watching me waiting for my response.
I fidget slightly before composing myself. I have no shame. I am the Huntress. I am scared of nothing and no one. But when it comes to any talk of a potential 'mate' I do get flustered. Most wolves would kill to find their mate. It's supposed to be your one true love, your other half, your everything. I have no desire to have someone in my life. I am rogue for a reason. I don't fit in, I don't want to be responsible for anyone but myself, and I don't deserve love.
I sigh and look over at Caleb and notice him watching me carefully. "I simply don't want or need a mate, Caleb. It's complicated but if the day comes that I do find him or her, I will reject them." I shrug like it's no big deal.
Caleb laughs and pulls me into a big hug "Oh D, you say that now but you have no idea what the mate pull does to a wolf. Not only that but the pain from rejection is beyond words."
I lean into his hug taking in his warm welcoming scent. It's been a long time since someone hugged me like this. I realize I've held on too long to him and quickly pull back.
I feel the heat rise to my cheeks. "Sorry... I... umm...." I trail off and try to look anywhere but at him.
He tilts my chin turning me to face him "Daliah, don't ever apologize for hugging me." he moves his hand to the side of my face a brushes my hair out of my eyes. "You truly are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on."
I'm sure my face looks like a tomato right now but with Caleb it never mattered, I never cared how I looked with him. He never cared that I was an outcast and he always only saw me for me.
I leaned my face into his palm my eyes never leaving his. He slowly leaned in pressing his lips against mine. His lips are so soft, he is perfect, everything about him is perfect. I do not want a mate but I am not opposed to spending a night with a sexy as hell man. I mean why not? We go to war in a week and this may be our last chance.
His tongue runs across my lip wanting entrance. I slightly part my lips and he deepens the kiss, I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him deeper into me.
We both put all of our stress and desire into this kiss. Taking and giving everything we can from and to each other.
He puts his hands on my hips and I take the opportunity to fling my legs over his and straddle him. I press my body into his deepening our kiss even more if that's possible.
His hand runs up my back as he wraps his fingers in my hair. I feel his length growing beneath me and I can't help but to grind on him.
He moans into my mouth and quickly flips me over so I am laying on the couch and he is on top of me. His hand makes its way up my shirt and his thumb across my hardening n****e. I moan into his mouth and throw my head back. He starts kissing and sucking gently on my neck, nipping the skin on my sensitive marking spot. My body shudders at his touch.
His fingers teasing and pulling on my n****e he kisses across my collar bone before ripping my shirt in half down the middle.
He leans up and smirks at me "Hope you weren't too fond of that top." He grins wildly and his eyes blaze with passion.
I reach up and grab his shirt copying his actions and ripping it down the middle before smirking "I think it looks better like this."
A sexy growl come from deep within him as he lunges for my lips. His fingers make their way to my slick folds as he plunges two fingers deep inside me. I moan loudly and grind into him.
"f**k D, you are so f*****g sexy!" he growls before pulling my shorts off.
He settles between my thighs and breathes in deeply before looking up at me " and you smell f*****g incredible!" he growls before flicking his tongue over my sensitive bud.
I moan loudly and lift my hips up towards his tongue.
He slides two fingers inside me while he continues his sensual torture. "Stay still baby and I will make you feel incredible." He licks me again spreading my thighs completely before plunging his tongue deep inside me.
I feel myself building my insides tightening "Caleb... I..." I trail off as my orgasm is so close.
"Give it to me, baby. Give it to me now!" He roars and I climax loudly screaming his name.
Next thing I know Caleb is on top of me. The tip of his length is resting at my entrance and his eyes blaze as he looks deep into my eyes. "Tell me to stop now and I will Daliah."
I see he is struggling for control and I don't want to wait for him I want him now! I wrap my legs around him and lean in kissing him deeply "I want you now, Caleb. Please!" I beg desperately.
With those words he pressed his lips onto mine before plunging deep inside me.
I scream at the sensation. I didn't realize how big he is until now.
He still waiting for my body to adjust to his size watching me closely to make sure I'm okay. "s**t, D. I'm so sorry I didn't realize..."
I press my lips against him and rock my hips to pull him deeper. "It's okay. I'm okay. Just please, Caleb more." I pant and the fire ignites again in his eyes.
He rocks in and out of me. Sweat is beading on our skins. I feel him moving faster and my body tightening around him.
"Yea, Daliah give it all to me!" he roars as my orgasm takes over me. He quickly pulls out and releases his seed on my stomach. He quickly grabs his torn shirt and wipes me off before rolling over and pulling me on top of him.
We lay there panting cuddled up until darkness takes over and I fall asleep on his chest.
