Before she knew it, Sam was moaning again. Her hips seemed to move on their own, begging for more.
“R’orn,” she gasped. “Oh, please…”
And then the big Kindred started all over again, pushing her slowly but steadily to the edge…

R’ORN
R’orn knew it wasn’t right, but he let himself get lost in her. Her scent…her taste…he let her fill his senses and overwhelm him completely.
He came every time she did, even though he never touched himself—feeling her pleasure through his Beast as it fed on her orgasms brought him to the brink again and again. But despite coming over and over as he brought her to the peak, his shaft never got soft. Male Kindred were multiorgasmic and R’orn was no exception to that rule.
Inside him, his Beast roared approval. Samantha was the one, he assured R’orn—their Fated Mate—the one they had been waiting for. And on the next full moon he would come out and Claim her.
That was what finally brought him to his senses. He couldn’t let Samantha meet his Beast! She was too small…too fragile. And his Beast was cursed—little better than an animal, even though it had sentience and intelligence. He couldn’t trust it to be gentle with her if it ever did get out.
R’orn’s heart sank as he realized he was going to have to give her up. And with that realization came another—he fucking loved her! Samantha was everything he wanted in a woman—she was quirky and independent and self-confident and beautiful—not to mention curvy in all the right places. If he’d been given a choice of any female in the universe, he would have picked her.
Unfortunately, his Beast felt the same way. And if it was given a chance, it would savage her.
Tonight is the only night I’ll have with her, he thought and the idea filled him with loss and longing. Tomorrow I’ll have to say goodbye.
There was no way around it—he would have to leave Samantha and request that another Protector be sent down to her.
After tonight, he could never see her again.

SAM
Sam woke feeling incredibly well rested, despite getting little sleep the night before. R’orn had feasted on her for hours. Her clit still felt swollen and incredibly sensitive from the way he’d gone down on her for so long, but she wasn’t complaining.
The big Kindred wasn’t in bed with her but that was all right—he’d left a short note on the Belgrave Inn stationary saying he had gone down to breakfast. Sam supposed he must have worked up quite an appetite—then blushed at the idea.
But as she got up and got dressed, she couldn’t stop replaying the events of the night before over and over in her head. She’d never had a man show such passion for her—such hunger. It was flattering—R’orn’s intense desire for her had been almost frightening in its intensity—but in a good way. Definitely in a good way.
She wondered if the ghosts that inhabited this room had anything to do with his behavior and if so, whether he would admit it. If he could just stop it with the “I’m such a skeptic” act, maybe they could have something together. After all, she could get used to being devoured like that. R’orn had been giving her multiple orgasms there at the end, and she hadn’t even known she was capable of having those!
She hummed as she got dressed and packed up her equipment. As she passed the spirit mirror for the last time, she thought she saw something there. Turning her head, she saw the face of a pale, blonde girl with light blue eyes looking back at her.
“Oh—hello!” Sam smiled at her. She was used to seeing spirits, so seeing a disembodied head floating in the mirror beside her own didn’t bother her at all. “You must be Caroline Abernathy,” she said to the spirit.
The blonde girl nodded and smiled shyly.
“We, uh, certainly had fun in your room last night,” Sam told her, grinning. “Did you and Beau have anything to do with that?”
The girl winked and gave her a naughty little grin.
Sam laughed at the cheeky smile.
“Well, I have to thank you, then. I couldn’t stand the guy I was with last night until you two got involved. Now, I think I might be halfway in love with him!”
Just saying the words out loud made her realize they were true. Damn it—she tried not to be one of those women who couldn’t give her body without also giving her heart, but it was hard. Especially when R’orn had just given her what was hands-down the best sexual experience of her life—and they hadn’t even had actual sex!
That made her wonder what sex would be like with her big Protector. She couldn’t help imagining being pinned under that big body…or maybe sitting on his lap and sinking down onto the thick cock she’d seen outlined under the material of his sleep trousers the night before. How would it feel to take all that inside her? She had some pretty big toys but none that compared to what R’orn appeared to be packing…
