Alpha Male Incorporated Under Your Protection (20 page)

****

Swallowing hard, Sahara allowed Jax to take control of her body. His mouth and hot tongue licked and caressed her skin until she thought she might lose her mind. His tongue lapped at the light sheen of sweat on her body until he dropped to his knees making him eye level with her black shorts.

Grabbing her ass with both hands, Jax crushed his nose across the stop of her shorts. “How much do you like these barely there things?” he asked, glancing up at her from his kneeling position on the floor.

“I love them. They’re very cute and comfortable. I get compliments from men all the time...” Sahara stopped talking when Jax tore the shorts along with her underwear from her body.

“They’re gone and I better not catch you in another pair. I won’t allow any other men to be staring at my mate’s perfect ass.”

“Listen, I can... Oooooh,” Sahara moaned when Jax’s tongue darted out and licked her navel. She didn’t have time to do much else before Jax stood up and picked her up carrying her the short distance to his bed.

He removed her tennis shoes making her completely naked while he was still fully clothed.

“Jax, what are you
─”

“Be quiet,” Jax whispered as his eyes traveled the length of her body. “I want to look at what I have been waiting for centuries to have. You are absolutely the most perfect woman I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”

“I bet you’ve told countless women the same thing. I’m not going to believe you haven’t.”

“You’re right,” he admitted as he took off his shoes and then yanked the green shirt over his head. “But this time I really mean it.”

Sahara licked her suddenly dry lips as Jax stripped naked in front of her. She wasn’t paying attention to any of the words coming out of his mouth anymore.

All she
wanted
...all she
needed
was him on his bed with her.

Once Jax was as naked she took in the fine specimen of man standing in front of her. Jax’s body was truly one of the finest looking she’d ever laid eyes on and her body grew wet at the thought that he was finally going to be making love to her.

He stalked towards the bed, and grabbed her knees spreading her thighs wider before kneeling between them. The tip of his cock brushed against her wetness making more cream trickle slowly down her legs.

His head lowered towards her and Sahara felt his cool breath against the side of her cheek, he was so close that the tip of her nipples brushed over the hardness of his chest. Sahara closed her eyes and swallowed as she waited in anticipation for Jax to kiss her.

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Jax wanted Sahara so badly that his fangs ached from holding back. All he wanted to do was spread her smooth brown thighs further apart and fuck her senseless while taking a bite out of her neck, but he wouldn’t do it. He would show her that he could take his time and make her want him until she couldn’t think of anything else.

It had been a while since he’d had sex with a woman...no, made love because that almost incident a few days back didn’t count. He wasn’t a three minute lover when he was with a woman. He wanted Sahara to know and remember who was making her feel
good
.

So, he had to push it up another level for his woman.

Lowering his head the rest of the distance, Jax ran his tongue along the corner of Sahara’s mouth. The sexy hint of vanilla splashed on her skin sent a jolt to his cock making it throb to the point of pain.

God, he needed to be inside of Sahara and soon or he might not have much more control left.

“Are you ready for me baby?” Jax asked by her ear. “I can’t hold back any longer. Do you want me?” He licked the side of Sahara’s neck.

She nodded her head and Jax sent up a silent prayer of thanks. With the tiny amount of restraint he had left, Jax lifted Sahara’s thighs slipping his cock inside of her until he met resistance.

Sahara tensed up and tried to move away from him, but he tightened his hold. Shit! She felt so
incredible and he wasn’t even all the way inside of her.

“It’s okay, baby. You can do this. Just relax. You’re meant for me and only me.” Raising his head, Jax caught Sahara’s eyes with his and saw the hint of fear there. He hated he was the one who caused it.

“Do you trust me, sweetheart?”

“Yes,” Sahara said without hesitation.

“You won’t be sorry you do.” Jax lowered his head sucking Sahara’s plumb bottom lip into his mouth. He nibbled at it a few minutes before covering her mouth with his at the same time his body thrust into hers completely.

Sahara’s hand shoved at his shoulders as she tried to buck him off her body, but he grabbed her by the waist holding her still giving her body time to adjust to having him inside of her.

This had to be one of the greatest nights of his life. His mate’s body was warm, slick, and tight and held him like a glove. It felt like he had found the other half of himself. Her scent filled his nose drawing him even closer to the edge.

He had to be imagining how snug Sahara was...it had to be a dream.

Slowly, he licked the inside of her mouth then coaxed her tongue back into his mouth as he withdrew and thrust his cock inside to the hilt. Jax knew he had to make this perfect for Sahara.

He had to do it.

Jax took a glance at Sahara noticing her eyes were closed and the faint traces of tears touched her silky cheeks. Ending their kiss, he ran his tongue over her tears drawing the salty taste into his mouth hoping Sahara would look at him, but she didn’t.

Fuck! It was hard for him to keep from pounding into her, but he would. He couldn’t explode inside of her without giving her the pleasure he’d promised for weeks.

“Sahara look at me,” he coaxed, softly.

Having Sahara’s body surrounding him was like heaven, but he had to make sure it wasn’t hell for her.

Sahara’s eyes slowly opened until she was staring into his green ones. The shimmer of unshed tears lurking there broke his heart.

“Baby, are you okay?” he asked, touching her face with the back of his hand.

“It hurt worse than I thought it would,” she admitted softly. She moved her hips and Jax fought down his need to work her over with everything he had in him.

“I know. I’m sorry, but you were a virgin. You knew there was bound to be a little pain.”

“I know,” Sahara sniffed and then smiled at him easing some of the heaviness from his heart. “I’m ready now. I’m getting used to having you inside of me.”

God, she wasn’t going to tell him to leave her alone. She wasn’t mad at him.

Jax leaned over her, his mouth trailing a hot path from her lips all the way down to the valley between her breasts.

His promise to be an attentive lover for Sahara was quickly slipping when she ran her fingers through his hair holding him closer to her damp skin. Every inch of his mate was so mouth-watering that he wanted to take a bite out of her.

She was smoother and softer than the finest silk in the world. Her mocha perfection stood out against his cool white sheets like an artist’s painting. His throbbing erection was about to explode and he knew that he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Planted between her thighs, Jax started to move inside of Sahara but it wasn’t enough. He had waited too long for this. He should be deeper.

“Wrap your legs around my waist and lock them there. I need to feel you all the way around me. Keep me a part of you for as long as possible.”

Sahara did as he instructed and Jax wrapped his arms around her body, so her hard nipples scraped at his chest and he resumed his frantic thrusts.

The bed moved with the pounding he was giving Sahara, but he didn’t care. All his mind was focused on giving his woman ultimate pleasure.

Jax continued to slide back and forth in Sahara moving their bodies across the sheets. He pushed faster and harder. His actions were spurred by watching Sahara come apart in his arms. Her gorgeous soulful eyes were closed while her short nails scratched at his back urging him to push even deeper.

“Come for me, darling. Let me hear what I’m doing to you and your body,” he whispered provocatively inside the shell of her ear.

“Jax,” Sahara screamed as her legs tightened around his hips. She cried her release which urged him to dip his head and sink his fangs into the side of her neck.

He drank from his mate as his own release shattered through his body and his seed emptied deep inside of her. Lifting his head, Jax licked the puncture wounds on Sahara’s skin drawing the last taste of her blood into his mouth before rolling on his back pulling her on top of him.

Sahara sighed, snuggled closer to him and within a matter of seconds she was fast asleep. Jax looked at the contented expression on her beautiful face knowing he was the one who made her feel like she was the most loved woman in the world.

Smiling, Jax ran his hand down Sahara’s damp back before he grabbed a discarded sheet off the floor and covered their sweaty bodies. From the first day he’d laid eyes on Sahara in Frank’s den he had been perfectly aware of the attraction they both felt for each other. It was almost like a lightning bolt had come down and struck right in the middle of the room.

Since that one moment, Sahara Chantel had become his obsession and he wasn’t about to let her go for anyone or anything.

Chapter Thirty-Eight

What in the hell am I going to do now?
Jax thought as he lay awake in his bedroom.

He’d already had it bad for Sahara before he found out she was his mate but now since they’d made love his need to protect her had grown to the level of possession...which was going to make his job of being her bodyguard even harder.

All the years of him being a vampire, he made sure to stay away from virgins. He didn’t want to be their first, knowing he wasn’t ever going to commit to them. In his opinion, the more experienced the woman was the better until now with Sahara.

His mate’s virginal state...well, former virginal state made her only more captivating in his eyes.

Hell, he was growing hard again thinking about how he was her first and not some back up dancer or her lousy dancer instructor. Plus, Archer sure wouldn’t know how to please a woman the right way. Not one of those guys were meant for his Sahara and if they tried anything now he would snap them in half without a second thought about it.

He thought he had found everything with Colleen when he’d first laid eyes on her coming out of her paint gallery. Something about her soothed a part of the restlessness in him, but if he was honest he couldn’t ever fully commit to her.

Maybe that was one of the reasons her senseless murder still bothered him. She might still be alive if the guy hadn’t been looking for him that night.

Sahara stirred on his chest and he planted a kiss on the top of her head. Yeah, Sahara was young and loved to get her way whenever she could, but her fierce independence was one of the reasons he loved her so much.

How was it possible that women more experienced than the bundle of cuteness lying on his chest weren’t able to bring him to his knees, but Sahara was born to be his eternal love?

Truthfully, he’d craved her before he understood who Sahara was to him. Why couldn’t things be easier for the two of them? Why couldn’t he just turn her and be done with it? No, he had to be the bodyguard of his mate because some sick asshole had his sights on her.

Jax knew making love to Sahara hadn’t cured his desire for her. God, it had only made it stronger... More intense.

However, one thing was for damn sure. He wasn’t going to wait to make Sahara his for the rest of eternity. The second he got the chance he would go through the exchange of turning Sahara from her human body into his vampire mate.

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Standing in front of the dressing room mirror, Sahara checked her outfit one more time making sure everything was in place and the way she wanted it. She would have been here forty-five minutes ago if Jax hadn’t decided he wanted to have sex in the living room one more time before they left the house.

She should have told him no, but when he got that look in his eyes and his voice got deeper, those two things made it hard for her to deny him anything at all. He already had her heart and after her performance tonight, she would tell Jax how much she loved him.

Spinning away from the mirror, Sahara looked at Jax positioned against the wall with his arms folded across his huge chest. It was his favorite stance when he was mad at her about something.

Okay, what was wrong with him now?

“How do I look?” Sahara did a little twirl showing off her legs in the short dress and black boots that stopped right above her knees. She thought she looked
hot
for her performance tonight.

“The dress is too short. I don’t...no, I won’t allow you to go out there and show off what’s mine,” Jax snapped. “Plus the pink bow tied across your breasts is giving me ideas of unwrapping a delicious and tasty present. What do you think it will do to those half drunk and horny men out there?”

“Jax, you’re making something out of nothing. I’m going to sing and then maybe sign a few autographs. It shouldn’t take more than two hours at the most. I’m going to be perfectly safe with you there to watch over me.”

“You don’t know that for sure. I won’t ever stop worrying about your safety until you let me turn you. I could have done it last night when we made love. Even this stalker wouldn’t be able to hurt you once you’re fully my mate.”

She wasn’t ready to take that step with Jax yet. The thought of her human side dying to become a vampire didn’t sit right with her.

“Can we not get into this now? I only have a few minutes before Archer comes to get me. I would rather be doing something more fun than arguing with you. Don’t you agree?”

Walking up to Jax, Sahara stood on her tiptoes so she could kiss him but he turned his head away. The rejection hit her hard so that she stumbled back from him. She couldn’t believe Jax moved his head away from her kiss.
