away, his teeth still in me. Then he lifted his head and stared at Brian. “Back off, Irishman. He’s mine.”
“What?” we both gasped.
“Move away from the compost and you’ll be able to smell me,” he purred as he licked my bite closed. “You’re mine now and I’ve claimed you.”
“Thanks for asking,” I grumbled as I did as he wanted. When I was about thirty feet away from all the stinky, I buried my nose in his neck and inhaled. I instantly got hard and my fangs came out. “Mine!”
“Yes.” He shredded my shirt and moaned at the skin-to-skin contact. “All yours, Ferris.”
“What’s your name, kitty? And how do you know mine?”
“Rylan Zeev. I smelled my mate and came to check it out. I’ve been watching you for the past few hours to see if you were approachable. I just couldn’t take it anymore and needed you.”
“Could you stop humping my stomach?” I moaned. “I can’t focus when you’re doing that.”
“No. You belong to me!”
“I know, but we need to talk, kitty.”
“After you fuck me for at least a week,” he mumbled as he tried to get my belt off.
“Where’s your stuff? Where did you come from?”
“Really?” he bitched as he leaned back to stare at me incredulously. “I’m throwing myself at you after having claimed you and you want to talk . Am I ugly or something?” He didn’t wait for me to reply, letting me go and standing on his feet as he made a frustrated sound.
“No, you’re gorgeous,” I whispered as I got my first real look at him. He was maybe five six, lithe, with longer brown hair and blond highlights. But it was his orange eyes that held me captive. They were breathtaking. Not pumpkin color, but not rust either, somewhere in between.
“Then what’s the problem? Why won’t you claim me?” he asked hesitantly as he eyed me over. “Are you straight?”
“No, I just, give me a second here,” I said as I tried to shake off my lust. I went back to the mower, grabbed an extra shirt I had out of my bag, and headed towards him.
“I heard vampires were weird with nudity.” He rolled his eyes as he sighed and took the offered shirt, slipping it on over his head. “Happy? I’m dressed. Now what?”
“I don’t know,” I answered honestly. He was coming on so strong and a little hostile that I had no clue what to do. “How did you end up here? I mean, we’re out in the middle of nowhere here.”
“I heard about a coven that accepted other supernatural beings so I thought I’d check it out. When I was driving here, I smelled my mate and pulled over. I shifted and headed this way to investigate.”
“Okay, then why don’t we go get your things and we can take a ride to where I’m staying. We can talk there and I could use something to eat.”
“Hey, are you all right?” he asked quietly as he moved his hand to my chest. “You look like you’re going to pass out.”
“Rough day,” I answered as I glanced around and saw every eye was on us. “Can we please go somewhere private? I was kind of having a meltdown before you showed up.”
“Sure, yeah, I can understand that.” He gave me a half smile and moved his other hand to my chest. “But I demand a kiss as payment for my patience.”
“I’d like that,” I breathed as I lowered my head. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him flush against my body. Rylan moaned as our lips touched. Kissing him was like sticking my finger in an electrical socket without all the nasty side effects. It was charged and so was I now. I wrapped him back around me, holding his head to mine with my hand as I plundered his mouth.
“Cat!” someone shouted loudly as I heard a flurry of movement. Instantly I turned towards it, moving Rylan off of me and then behind me. It hadn’t sounded like the good kind of shouting and I wasn’t going to let anyone hurt my mate.
