Tall, Dark & Heartless (Pyte/Sentinel #3)(99)
Author: R.L. Mathewson

"Where is Jill?" he asked as he waited to see which men were planning on trying to restrain him, probably the man in front and the larger of the three men in back, he mused as he watched those men break off to the sides and approach him while the other two men readied their weapons.

He was actually a little shocked that they'd waited until night time to do this, but then again they did have their hands full with the war still from what he heard. So this was probably the first chance they had to coordinate this little staking.

"She's no concern of yours, Leech," the blonde man, who readied his stake spat out as the two men made their move to grab him.

None of his concern?

Well, that was just foolish. Jill was his property no matter what ill-conceived notions the woman had. She'd given herself to him and he made damn sure to mark her. With a sigh, he grabbed the larger of the two by the arm, twisted it until the sound of a wet branch snapping echoed through his cell and dropped the man to the ground before grabbing the other one as he made a frantic grab for Logan.

The man's expression registered shock seconds before Logan snapped his neck. The sweet smell of the men's blood told him that they were older Sentinels, which sometimes made his job a lot easier. They were stubborn and set in their ways. He had no doubts that if he was dealing with the young Sentinel named Chris that he would have his hands full right about now, but these Sentinels used very predictable moves to try and take him down.

The Sentinels put up a good fight and did a decent amount of damage, but in the end he was the one stepping out of the cell. He considered setting off the alarm by the elevator to draw more Sentinels down here to exact a little more revenge, but that would be foolish and he was not a foolish man. He knew exactly what he needed to do and this time he would not be swayed from his purpose.

"Give me ten more minutes, baby," Caine mumbled as he turned his head to press a swift kiss to her stomach before going back to treating her like a pillow.

She sighed heavily as she gently ran her fingers through his hair. She hated to do this, she really did....okay, she really didn't, she thought with an excited little grin. In fact, she couldn't wait to get started. Unfortunately for her the big baby sprawled out on top of her demanded a nap. That was about twenty minutes ago. He should be good to go now, she decided as she placed her hands on his shoulders and gave him a little shake.

"I need sleep, woman. Don't make me kill you," he said gruffly as he snuggled against her.

Maybe she should let him sleep. As far as she knew he hadn't slept much in the last couple of days. He'd also been feeding her and taking care of her and she probably should just let him rest. A moment later she decided to leave the poor man alone and let him rest. It was the least she could do for him after all.

As carefully as she could she tried to push him off of her so that she could get up, but of course the stubborn man grumbled and bitched as he settled back on top of her. When she tried to move him again he growled, actually growled at her!

"Caine," she said, sighing in exasperation as he tightened his hold on her and moved up until his head was nestled between her br**sts. "If you want to get some sleep then let me up," she said, moving to give him another gentle shove that he easily ignored.

"Comfy," he mumbled as he as pressed a butterfly kiss to the side of her breast.

"Caine,-"

"Sleepy."

"Caine," she said, biting back a smile even as she rolled her eyes, "I'm not tired. I want to get up. So, if you could just-"

"No."

"Caine,-"

"Shhhhh," butterfly kiss, "sleepy."

"Fine," she said with a sigh as she gave up her plans to escape and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She couldn't help but laugh softly when he rewarded her with another butterfly kiss.

For several long minutes she lay there with him in her arms as she tried to fall asleep, but the problem was that she wasn't tired. She was full of energy and needed to get it out. After their day of nonstop sex she should be exhausted, but oddly enough she wasn't.

Anxious would be a better way to describe what she was feeling right now. Now that they were free and had their relationship sorted out, well they sort of did. There were still a lot of things they had to settle between them, but for right now she was content to leave things the way they were. They had plenty of time, an eternity actually to work things out. All she wanted to focus on was testing out her new abilities and maybe seeing if she could finally kick Caine's ass, for curiosity sake of course.

Caine chuckled around a groan as he pressed another kiss against her breast and pushed himself up so that he was hovering over her and looked down at her. Even as she saw him in shades of blue thanks to her night vision, the man was incredibly sexy. She reached up and ran her fingers over the tattoo covering his jaw and couldn't help smiling. This man was all hers.

"You want to go play around with your new abilities, don't you?" he asked, chuckling as he leaned down and gave her a quick kiss.

"Maybe," she said, following after his lips as she considered doing something else with her newfound energy.

"I guess we can do that since I know that you won't let me sleep until I show you," he said, pulling back, but not before he leaned in and kissed the hell out of her.

Just when she was about to push him down onto his back and mount him, he pulled back and grabbed his jeans. He had them on before she could put up much of a protest.

Caine chuckled as he zipped up and moved to leave their tent. "Hurry, baby, and maybe I'll let you pin me," he said with a wink before he disappeared.

She had to snort at that. Like she really needed him to let her do anything now. She was a Pyte and could hold her own. In fact, she could probably kick his ass in under two minutes flat and have him begging for mercy.

"Oh my God, you sick bastard!" Danni snapped as she struggled to hold onto the tree limb he'd left her on twenty minutes ago.

"Stop being such a baby and get down here," he said, gesturing impatiently once again for her to simply let go of the limb and float the thirty or maybe it was more like eighty feet down. It was really a simple concept and he couldn't for the life of him figure out why she was having such a tough time of it.

"Get me down!" she snapped, which of course was followed by a little squeal as she opened her eyes and looked down before snapping them shut once again.

"Are you going to go get her?" Jax asked, standing next to him and still pointing that damn flashlight on Danni, which of course could be one of the reasons why she was squeezing her eyes shut. The man didn't need the flashlight. Thanks to his Alpha blood he could see just as clearly as Caine could, but the rest of his pack couldn't and they would bitch and whine if Jax shut it off.
