Page 46 of Patrick’s Seduction

“We should sleep,” he said, lifting her off him gently.

As they slipped under the covers together, Patrick molded his front to her back, tucking her ass into the curve of his groin. His cock was rock-hard again, a result of Fallon’s blood. Unable to resist, he adjusted himself behind her, and drove his erection back inside her still wet pussy.

She gasped in surprise, but pressed herself closer to him, taking him deep inside. “I thought you wanted us to sleep.”

“I want you to sleep,” he corrected her. “You need it. Just ignore my hard-on. There’s nothing I can do right now to get it to relax.”

She giggled. “I know what’ll get it to relax.”

“Apart from THAT!” he said, chuckling. “You should sleep. I promise not to disturb you. Well, at least not much, unless you insist on me pulling out of you.”

She reached back to put her hand on his hip, drawing him toward her. “Stay inside me. It feels good.”

He moved back less than an inch and forward again, and Fallon sighed contentedly.

He would remain hard for hours, and it would only take a few shallow thrusts for him to find release again. He wrapped one arm around her, cupping her breast, caressing the spot where he’d bitten her. This wouldn’t be the last time he drank her blood. But next time, he wanted her to be fully aware of what he was doing, and still want it, want him.

“So, you and Fallon,” Anita said into the silence.

Patrick cast her a quick sideways glance. They were in his car, driving on the 101 Freeway through Marin County just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was late morning, and traffic was light.

“What makes you think that?” he finally deflected.

“Everybody knows. Amaury isn’t the only one who smelled her on you. Besides, Lydia isn’t blind either.”

He wasn’t surprised about that. He and Fallon hadn’t exactly been very discreet. “So Lydia told her brother, and Cooper told you.”

She shrugged. “Cooper is concerned about you.”

“Cooper should mind his own business, no offense.”

“Actually, it is his business. It’s all of Scanguards’ business. You can’t just hook up with the girlfriend of a werewolf and think nothing bad’s gonna happen.”

“Ex-girlfriend,” he corrected, irritated. And he wouldn’t exactly call it a hookup either. What he and Fallon had was more than a fling. At least for him.

“Hey, I’m just saying. And occasionally you could thank me for having brought you this case. My gut feeling was right again. I told you there was more to it than an obsessed ex-boyfriend.”

Patrick inhaled a long breath, then turned his head to look at Anita. “Thank you for bringing me this case. Happy now?”

“I’ll be happy when the threat this werewolf represents is eliminated. Frankly, I had no idea werewolves existed.”

“Yeah, well, we knew, though nobody at Scanguards was aware that there’s a pack so close to San Francisco.”

“Cooper said werewolves are more dangerous than vampires. Is that true?”

“Yes and no. They are definitely more animal than vampires. I mean, fuck, they can shift into a wolf, and you wouldn’t know that they have a humanoid body. Whereas we still retain our bodies even in vampire form. They’re wild, living by different rules than ours. We blend in. They don’t.”

“How would you know that? I mean, look at it: there’s a pack in Marin County, and you didn’t know about them until a day ago. Doesn’t that mean that they can blend in too?”

Patrick shrugged and contemplated her words for a moment. “If they can blend in, it makes them even more dangerous. They are inherently violent creatures.”

Anita let out a chuckle. “Look who’s calling the kettle black!”

“Vampires aren’t violent!”

“Yeah, the ones working for Scanguards aren’t, because you all live by a code of ethics, but don’t pretend you don’t know that most other vampires continue to exhibit their violent nature unchecked.”
